To provide a more positive view on the matter: Even if we reach 3C, as long as it is ultimately reversed, all efforts are still worth it. And there is still a chance everything turns out to be less grim than anticipated, if we accelerate our efforts.

In much of Europe speaking out can get you arrested. Many of us don’t believe in universally free speech, starting at insults and hate speech.

I just reconnect and hope for an unflagged IP lol

Monitor monitors the web for leaked credentials you have in Firefox’s password manager. That’s what it’s for. I think it’s quite clear why it would access your sync data

Zen and “mainline” (default/vanilla) are generally fine for “desktop use” and gaming. Zen is basically the mainline kernel with some tweaks. They are mostly concerned with latency, reducing the maximum time a process can spend blocking the processor - among other things.

This can lead to less input lag or a “smoother” desktop experience, but overall performance is as good as mainline at most. Slightly worse in some scenarios.

Hardned is a tradeoff afaik. You will stay behind mainline a bit, but get extra hardening. This can also impact performance, but rarely does in a meaningful way. If you don’t have any specific reason to use it, e.g. you carry it around on a laptop with sensitive data, I would look at other ways to harden my system first (firewall, encryption, access control, anti-virus, sandboxing, VPN…).

Pretty much the same goes for LTS, but with the focus more on stability than security.

RT is only for special applications.

I’m surprised that women told them it was for the military and even more surprised they still accepted. They had to be either desperate or Russian propaganda is also verfy effective outside of Russia.

In the US maybe, in the EU? Only if you want to get sued and then forced to re-hire them.

You know there is Matrix, right?

Ingl, I think the only way to stay sane these times is to ignore what they say and look at what they do. As long as his products are up to my standards and values, I’ll just ignore whatever he says to appease whomever

Probably doesn’t want to get banned in the US… Or so my copium tells me.

Silver lining is that Proton is owned by a non-profit.

You can make an argument for confidentiality making it harder to find exploits in your code. If nobody cares enough to report them to you, or if you don’t have the resources to fix them, open-sourcing your code just exposes them.

This is pretty much only an argument if you use stuff that would be irresponsible to use in the first place tho

Ingl, 20% thinking it is anywhere near sane to leave the EU, or even just riscing it with your vote, is insane. On the other hand, politicians from the “center” parties have contributed to this by betraying people over and over and over again. I can understand how people get a “fuck you and everyone else” attitude under these circumstances.

It gives me some peace of mind however, that ~80% do not support this.

If you have trouble sleeping in general, it might be a bad habits thing. Melatonin supplements can help to get you tired. 1mg before you go to bed is enough, if you try to relax and sleep. They don’t do anything if you do stuff that keeps you awake however.

This particularly anything exciting like sports, listening to energetic music, watching tense movies, playing fast or demanding games etc. Avoid any such thing for at least two hours before you try to sleep.

Linux is almost twice as big outside of gaming tho. In the Steam survey it sits at ~2%, whereas Statcounter has it at ~4%, based on browser data. Gaming actually lacks behind mainstream Linux adoption

There is an unofficial Flatpak version that works perfectly fine for ne. If you use KDE, you need to fo this in addition however: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/KDE_Wallet#Automatic_D-Bus_activation

Pixel 8a was <400€ on black friday. I know not everyone can afford this, but even 5 years ago that wouldn’t have been that much for a phone

fish is a nice shell

I’m very curious how RDNA 4 will stack up against Battlemage. Ingl, if Intel had released a B580 x2, so like a 5120 shader class card, I would’ve probably bought it (or its sister SKU) already. Gonna be tough competition

Not sleeping like… Right now

Funnily enough I had more bugs on Tumbleweed than on Arch. Admittedly, most of them were probably not on Tumbleweed, but it seems like there are just much more people caring about Arch. Otherwise I can’t explain why it gets so much better support
