Librewolf is cancer for regular use

From what I understand, xorg has fundamental security flaws. How will they remedy this?

They won’t. Don’t download random shit and if you’re worried, run it in Flatpak

What happens when the Linux kernel drops support for xorg? Do they intend to fork an older version of the kernel in order to keep support?

Not really possible, since X11 is only built on top of the kernel’s graphical interface (same as Wayland). Even if that wasn’t the case, the kernel doesn’t delete any code that anybody uses (that’s why 30 year old programs still run)

The first comment on the request

For the sake of all of our sanity, I’d really appreciate if FESCo could decide on this one really quickly (e.g. putting out a statement) and avoid what could be a most unpleasant flame-fest on this mailing list.

It depends where you are and what you’re renewing. Lots of these things (photos/fingerprints/etc) may be optional. Research beforehand, talk with the staff, express your concerns, be polite, and see which parts you can opt out.

If we find out “I do not consent” opts out, I’m fine with it.

Why? They don’t need more money. Jellyfin proves how much of their service can be done for free

I have access to ~20Gb/s worth of extra bandwidth. Is there any way I can “donate” it to different Peertube instances? Right now I just use it to seed things and run XMR/I2P nodes

No lol

You can dual boot it

Btw I would recommend leaving a note on the desktop saying something like COMPUTER_SPECS.TXT. I had Linux on my computers in school, and I was thinking “holy crap Linux is slow and old”, but it turned out to be cheap hardware (and I didn’t know better, back then)

This is why the layoffs on Google’s Android team were good, and proof that they weren’t deep enough.

I wouldn’t worry about security. Mainly because more security always means less things work as intended, and there’s not really any malware targeting Linux. Just like, pick a distro, use it, and pivot based on things you like or dislike

Honestly I started looking into it (found some articles from 2017 where he showed Nazi imagery) and started asking myself wtf am I doing.

Calling people Nazis over the tamest crap is so old. I’m so done with the liberal crowd on Lemmy jerking each other off over simplistic issues. Get a grip.

Auto-rotate probably won’t work because it seems like the acceleramoter isn’t supported by the kernel, but if you really wanted to debug it, run monitor-sensor and rotate your laptop around. If you see the numbers change, it means your hardware is supported and you might just need a package (although it’'s also possible that Gnome and KDE don’t support it).

Bluetooth probably needs to be installed and activated on KDE.

KDE and Gnome are both great - I would say pick KDE if you like customizing things, and Gnome if you trust the defaults

Are you aware of any project that maintains a good bridge to Matrix? Because I’m in like 80 discord servers and not one of them has a high quality bridge

Ok but is that happening in reality

Some of us did leave, that’s why you see us here
