Smart TVs are some scary shit, like seriously. All the stuff they record and set home is extremely concerning

Samsung TVs also notoriously do this. Even if you don’t connect them to anything yourself, they will look for insecure Wifi accesspoints to upload their spying data to

I think there is also

I just use LibreWolf and Ironfox

The USA has been the “big brother” for pretty much all of NATO to listen to since the Marshall plan…

Just look how the EU cowed to your gov’s tarif demands recently.

The EU only cares about blocking the private sector from getting their citizen’s data. They actively harm privacy when it’s about government access

gnome terminal and console have hardware acceleration and have had it for a while AFAIK

It’s so jover. Not even “reputable” news outlets know what correlation is anymore 💀

Every IT-literate person fights kernel-lvl malware disguising as games with everything they got.

Since Linux has a high percentage of those, I hope those “solutions” will never spread

“Turning”?! “into”?!

ig neither the glowies, nor Snowden, nor Manning exist

Postgres slowing factor

I’m pretty sure one of the best optimised free/libre DBMS’s is faster than Python 💀

EDIT: skimmed it wrongly, see corrections below

Also no one knows how Piefed scales, since it only has like 350 MAU

Looking forward to when these are actually affordable, like in a few decades.

Assuming they haven’t gone bankrupt by then ((:

Go on the official Taler Website, they have all the info there iirc

Doesn’t seem like it, but users who don’t know how to toggle a setting should be kept faaaar away from sideloading

Atomic distros by Universal Blue build proprietary codecs into their images

Maybe Aurora by Universal Blue?

It’s based off of Fedora Silverblue, so it’s atomic, rock solid and basically guaranteed to work (more secure by design as well). But uses KDE Plasma instead of Gnome and has a bunch of improvements here and there, including proprietary codecs and Nvidia drivers preinstalled (latter depending on the image you choose)

The partial unannounced update broke my installation, which is why I finally ditched Nobara for Bluefin

Doesn’t seem like anyone mentioned it yet, so I’m gonna chime in: Bluefin-DX by Universalblue might be worth a look.

It’s a special developer version of their already interesting and rock solid atomic distro, meaning it’s not rly meant that you do much with the OS part of the filesystem (I’d recommend you read up on it, since I can’t explain it that well) It has VSCode preinstalled (you can replace it with VSCodium tho with a simple command IIRC) and allows you to spin up virtually endless Linux environments where you install your additional programmes that aren’t available as a Flatpak (you can still use them in the CLI, DW)

valid, I just feel like Gnome is a rly solid base for me, with one of the most intuitive workflows and consistent designs out there

the ecosystem of apps is just superb too
