Right. Because they’re interacting with an overlay the entire time, so they don’t have to deal with a shitty UI or manually performing any tasks.
So that’s an irrelevant example.

Then they’re better off with a Chromebook or tablet. The only reason to be on a pc instead is to access all of the additional functions that would be a nightmare for them to figure out on Linux.
Yup. If the theme is causing a mental hang up for laymen, then it’s an issue whether you agree with it or not.
But I suspect it’s more than that, and Linux stans are playing down the shitty UI.
Do some testing. Put a non-technical Windows or Mac user on Linux for a week. Don’t explain anything to them, so they can figure it out on their own. Let me know how it goes.
They are supposed to, for sure.
It won’t happen until the Windows UI becomes more troublesome than the Linux UI. We still have a ways to go.
I’ve yet to see a Linux version that can prevent the boot partition from clogging up with old kernel files. Grandma ain’t cleaning that shit up.
Jeep owners are the perfect target for this. Not exactly the kind of people doing a lot of research before purchasing a vehicle. Or else they wouldn’t buy a jeep.
Yep. Like holding a jump rope between two people, and one of them sends a wave through it to the other. The force still has to travel through the material.
We’re not really supposed to expose the ssh port to the internet at all. Better to hide it behind a vpn.
But it’s too damn convenient for so many use cases. Fuck it. Fail2Ban works fine.
You can also set up an ssh tarpit on port 22, which will tie up the bot’s resources and get them stuck in a loop for a while. But I didn’t think it was worth attracting extra attention from the bot admins to satisfy my pettiness.
No more non-federated social media. Centralized control will always be abused by tech sociopaths and government oppression.
Phones absolutely listen. But they probably process the speech locally, unless there’s a trigger word flagged, and send mostly text.
But then it was found Google would upload the audio when a zipper sound was heard, so who knows how often your triggering spy conditions.
And in those circumstances, the loss of life was even less of a hit. In a civil war, for every American you order shot, that’s one less customer or soldier you have, and that’s if the soldier you ordered to do the killing doesn’t just turn on you or refuse. Your position becomes weaker, even if you gain ground anywhere.
Just the small percentage of people killed or disabled by Covid absolutely shook the labor market. Imagine what killing people in civil war would do. Suddenly the wealth they fought to protect evaporates through efforts to preserve control, and they’re left with neither.
Depends what the funding is for. If it’s payment for compliance with CALEA (which has become a major revenue stream for big tech), then it’s compensation for building backdoors.
I wanna add that Apple TV’s are seriously underrated for gaming on. I use mine mostly for Steam link. So nice to be able to comfortably play on the couch, and not have to listen to the pc fans screaming in the basement.
I just wish we could sideload apps. This thing could do so much more, but Apple has it way too locked down.
Seriously still running well? They stopped updating that many years ago. I don’t think I’ve booted mine in over ten years, but even then it struggled with some 1080p content, and was not compatible with newer codecs. I cannot imagine that thing handling 4K.
That’s been the outcome of every war we’ve fought for 50+ years. We just lost a 20 year war against goat herders.
Guerrilla Warfare by Che Guevara is a good starting point.
For sure, but they’re escalating tactics.
They already dropped the charges against the bail fund organizers, but prosecuting them was never the point. They still scared a bunch of people, and tied up resources in their legal defense.
Also, I would not be surprised if Georgia was just the testing ground for these tactics.
And? Most of the web servers people interact with run on Linux, too. But in both examples, they are not interacting with the Linux UI whatsoever, which is the thing we are discussing.
