everything works out of the box for Linux
For them, unless you have the exact same hardware and use case as whoever you heard that from, you've misunderstood.
Everything works out of the box for linux for me because I bought hardware that specifically is known to run well with linux and is supported (and previously was running hardware so old it was supported by the time I got there lol). So if you're running the same hardware and same distro and are using it the same as me, then yes expect the same results, if not, expect possible different results from whichever variable you changed.
It may work out of the box for you if you also have well supported hardware and are using a good distro for it (newer hardware bleeding edge distro, older hardware either LTS or you can try a bleeding edge maybe). If you have nvidea or broadcom it probably won't work without some fiddling because your hardware isn't well supported due to the companies not wanting to.
and this year is the year of the Linux desktop.
Believing memes now are we? This is the funny joke linux version of the mindset like when qanon was all "totally gonna lock up hillary next month bro totally it'll happen just one more month bro," the most serious it get is people going "well shit linux actually has been gaining more users lately, nice, 'year of the linux desktop lolol.'" Don't believe that you should remove the French language pack either that's a meme/trick to get you to delete your system.
To change my lock screen background I still have to go into like /usr/sddm (or some such dir, I don't remember which specifically and it's not booted rn).
For some reason the setting in FedoraKDE for "lock screen background" will change the "lock screen background," but only after I've logged in and then re-locked, on boot it still showed the Fedora default. But I wanted it on boot, too, as it's a single user laptop anyway. To do that you have to place the file in iirc sddm's config dir.
At least with linux though I can design my own Plymouth theme and change my splash screen, try that on windows (idk if you can or not but I'm gonna assume no since I've never seen anyone do it.)
Oh good that's much better, at first I thought they were requiring notepad to be online, but they're just ruining the OS and world with vibe coded slop? Well that's fine!
Wormrot rules. Haven't heard this album yet I don't think, but their first album kicks ass, I'll have to download it again.
Inb4 "Turns out all you need to 'spy' on them is Shodan" lmao.
For even more "fun", try opening a file in Audacity / Tenacity, which will default to raw mode if it can't tell what a file is, and you get to see the waveform and so on. Just take care not to modify and save over an important file with that.
Well, unless that file (though, work with copies of course!!) is a .bmp image. Then try applying some "audio" affects to sections or the whole thing and see what it does to the image and export it, can get some neat stuff.
Praise "Bob" (and Databending).
I like that Signal has a desktop client with syncing. Maybe more messengers have that.
Delta Chat does too! It's available on Android (from both F-Droid and Play Store), iOS, Win, Mac (Macstore and Homebrew), and Linux. There's also Arcane Chat on android, which is by one of the DC devs and is sort of his testing ground, with complete interoperability.
I'm like you lol. But I've been keeping my testing small, so I only have to convince a few contacts on each switch I've made. Once I find a good one I'll expand further slowly (and it's looking like that might be DC for me). One of the things I've been looking for more as of late is ease of use for "normals," but still private and reasonably secure, and DC is really hitting that pretty well for me so far.
Hmmm, no lol.
Never used whatsapp, but without zooming looked at first like Delta Chat's default background, which is honestly HILARIOUS to me if they intentionally "copied" Whatsapp's background. Also kind of ingenious, makes it seem familiar to whatsapp users, and kinda makes it look like whatsapp at a glance (if someone is in a repressive country and hiding use of private chats is useful.)
But I think you might be right, oops! Lol. It's definitely not Delta Chat but is similar in appearance, though the top bar is completely different (in my defense idk what the iPhone app looks like haha...ok ok I wasn't paying close attention).
As to simpleX, I'm not a fan of this.

Nor their difficulty with multi-device sync which I've heard isn't really a thing they do. That said I also haven't tried it yet (if I ever will because NFTs, [or Crypto, and AI] are all basically an automatic "No" from me in a chat app [or browser]), so I can't speak much further than that on it.
Signal is cool and all, but the phone number requirement is mega lame. It also has caused issues for me in the past with my friends that download it "just for a protest" and then delete it without disassociating the acct from their phone number, this might be fixed now that they removed SMS (despite still requiring a phone number..), but what would happen is when I texted them from signal, instead of falling back to SMS it would just send to their signal acct, but since they deleted the app, it gets lost forever in limbo, and since Signal was my default for SMS, I had to change it to Messenger to text them, and change it back to Signal when I was done talking to them. Was a pain in the fucking ass quite frankly lol. And every time someone signed up it would message me "so and so has joined signal" automatically, what if I don't want someone (or everyone) on my contacts list with a signal account to have mine, what if I intended only to use it clandestinely? Think kids/parents or a woman hiding the app from her abusive husband, IMO it's a privacy breach. But mostly I don't like the phone number requirement at all.
But Delta Chat is privacy focused too, and the onboarding is so easy my literal mom could (and did!) do it, they're also working on minimizing metadata which is a plus, and while they no longer recommend it as a go-to it can be used with traditional email services to bypass censorship if need be (since email is so ubiquitous it can't just be blocked easily), and the chatmail servers can be self hosted, also the video calling (in beta) works really well (for a beta, there's some bugs lol, but you have to enable "debug calling" in the settings to use it so if you do that you know). Also somehow the notifications are pretty instant despite only eating less than 1% of my battery a day, and I'm on GrapheneOS, idk how they do that. You can also sign on to their forum with your DC account, which is just neat lol. I'm sure I'm forgetting something.
Delta Chat spotted!
Cool to see other people have been able to get their parents on it too because of the easy onboarding process. I recently switched from Matrix to Delta Chat myself and have been loving it! Got my mom on it too!
LOL it might as well since their weak ass wrists couldn't take it!
(For those who are wondering it's of course actually "Smith & Wesson.")
Tbf 10mm Auto is a real caliber (that the FBI tried to use but "it hurted their wrists" so .40SW was invented.)

Tbf, I hate rear cameras (much prefer decent sightlines); have had modern cars without heat before, I have jackets, and I delivered pizza in it for a living no less; and we don't really get much snow where I live. I'd be fine.
Yeah there's nothing like MS-13, Sur 13 (Sureños), Cartel De Gulfo, Latin Kings, Nuestra Familia, Norteños, White Fence, Serbian Mafia, Russian Mafia, Italian Mafia (I think they're done now due to RICO but still), Armenian Power, Tren de Aragua, Sun Yee On, 14k, Wo Hop To, Foochow Paul's Green Dragons, Ping On, Ghost Shadows, Flying Dragons, Wah Ching, Black Dragons...
And I guess that the meme is also assuming the local gangs like Crips, Bloods, Piru, GDs and BDs, O Block, FYB, etc are all Trump supporters, which, I mean, wanna bet? I've got $10 right now that says they aren't. Shouldn't even be too hard to find out just make VladTV ask them.
(Side note, Asain gangs have the coolest names by far. And yes I've read/watched a lot about gangs, it's actually pretty interesting stuff despite being, y'know, bad and whatnot.)
Adults hate things that taste good, and kids never used to smoke cigs that tasted like shit before vapes. Solid plan lol.
