Besides it might spoil the relationship with your local NSA agent.

Yeah, they could puppet the chrome company if the courts don’t keep a close eye on it. Basically there’s a good chance it would be another Firefox but with way more influence.

Isn’t it already licensed under permissive Apache v2? Anyone can fork and carry on the project without the permission of Google, every manufacturer already does as a result of the license.

How do you pay for car insurance or renters insurance? It’s not too dissimilar to that.

Though, I’ve moved to a state that has deemed me poor enough to give me Medicaid so the taxpayers pay for mine weather I want it or not. It beats paying almost $800 because living with my mother disqualifies me from the affordable care act subsidy.

My computers are pretty new. It’s the small things that really eat at you though.

Glad I switched even with the teething pains with Nvidia and wayland. I can always fallback on x11 until the bug is squashed. Always new little problems popping up like Nvidia isn’t really tested well on the Wayland side.

I’m not familiar with Debian. On arch you could just run the package manager to reinstall linux (kernel) and run grub-install with all the usual commands.

I use systemd-boot now so I might be rusty on that. I don’t know if it’s faster but it feels faster and I don’t really care about dual booting.

Not to victim blame but you did put in --no-preserve-root. You had to read those instructions.😄

I know, I’m one of them😆🤙. I try not to be annoying though, hope you didn’t take it wrong. Edit: sorry, though this was a comment on my response to someone being weird about rust.

If anyone truly cares about the community and want people to switch. They need to be understanding and willing to accept the fact some people have good reasons not to switch. Being pushy or insulting isn’t going to win them back and will most likely sour their perception of linux.

I remember how much hate I got for using an Nvidia graphics card on linux. I also remember helping other people get Linux running on their graphics cards. There were so many toxic individuals that would scold new users for “supporting Nvidia, that evil company” despite the fact most people switching from windows probably already owned that Nvidia card.

There were also others that long since given up because of all the hate they received. I want that to be uncommon and thankfully it seems to be more the case nowadays.

It’s a dumb reason to get banned from an instance. I don’t see anything wrong with making an observation other programmers have already made. Thanks for the warning though.

Just switch over, if you like! I want you to feel comfortable with the decision and feel motivated to give it a good shot.

If it’s not for you, I understand. Maybe in a few years it’ll be a better fit but it’s no rush.

I don’t know, they’re just security measures you can take. Maybe some personal preference thing. I don’t bother with the app guard thing and SELinux is pretty annoying with my Nvidia graphics card but a firewall is something I always setup.

Firewalled for limiting untrustworthy connections to the computer(public networks, hotels, even work).

apparmor for protecting the kernel and controlling file access to applications. SELinux is also a good option but if you need to load kernel modules, it can take a few minutes to sign and register it. It is automated on redhat systems though.

Other than that, do your research and don’t run random scripts and install random apps.

I don’t know much about the guy, I don’t even watch him. I was making an observation based on what other people’s comments said. I’m pretty sure you’re on the nose. Most people in his situation probably would try to bring some good in the world.

I just like leaving it to the professionals. It’s also important to make sure the community gets a vote on weather that’s the best solution or if other things are more urgent.

Kinda like how funding went into mosquito nets and instead of using it to protect infants from malaria it was used as a fishing net. In that community putting food in the table was more important. Now there are issues of chemicals being leached into the water by the treated nets and overfishing due to the fine mesh.

I mean you could take it out of context like that.

I think he’s probably a good kid. I just find the act very similar to those rich hippies, kinda gross. It’s personal preference not judgement.

I really, really don’t watch his videos. From that description it sounds like the thing rich people do to get brownie points on social media while not really helping in any meaningful way.

I think they are called trustafarians (YouTube link)

I never watched his videos. Wasn’t he the kid that potentially bankrupt people by giving them a car they couldn’t afford the tax on?

The dankest depths of archlinux wiki. Written by a guy so far gone, so war harden by reading through source code and poorly written technical documentation, ancient forums, leaving no stone unturned. A task so twisted it drives most men crazy.

1% of arch users will ever need this wiki and few have gone through this Herculean task. For them, the first draft is enough, it’s all you can ask of a mind so twisted and broken. Alas it’s as unreadable as the source code and as hard to understand as the forum post from 2009.

I do wish there were more native apps but alternatives to electron is always a good thing in my book.

Except for Microsoft, Microsoft can stop pretending their solution is demonstrably different from electron and chromium.

Neat!

I like the idea of someone traveling through time like the Terminator for mundain things like this. Always ending up naked, leaving scorch marks everywhere, and just casually doing it in front of people without any warning.
