  • Haha in mine they have Ubuntu stickers on them but no Ubuntu to be found.

  • That should be possible by changing the repos, shouldnt it? I will try this in a VM.

    Downgrading will be harder than rebasing from Ubuntu LTS to Debian Sid for example. But at the same time I imagine its easier to downgrade from Sid to Stable on the same Distro.

  • Ubuntu may be good at being semi-stable.

    Just run unsnap and experience actually secure apps.

    Did you know that Snaps are only sandboxed on Ubuntu with Apparmor? This makes them more versatile than Flatpaks using Bubblewrap (the whole system is sandboxed like that) but will break all sandboxing if systems dont use Apparmor, or dont include all patches.

  • No. They will likely still use release tarballs

  • Btw I have no idea why they want to mix Mint with Cinnamon, must taste ugly.

  • Apache, please just stop whatever you are doing. Rewrite your webserver in Rust or something.

  • This haha

  • OpenOffice is dead since years, Libreoffice is what is used today :D

    Btw Inkscape is said to be quite good. GIMP 3.0 will have color profiles and nondestructive filters.

    I used Libreoffice Impress instead of Powerpoint recently.

    • you will need to learn the core concepts new, master slides etc.
    • once you have your own templates, presentations will be very nice
    • you dont get AI bullshit templates so more manual work but more authentic presentations
    • same for hunting down icons, stock images etc.
    • for collaborating OnlyOffice is used, integrated into Nextcloud. OnlyOffice has a Desktop Client, but I dont see the reason, Libreoffice is more feature complete.
  • I also use dict.cc, the app is the developers source of income so no FOSS possible, but it is trustworthy and good software.

    You can download the databases and build an own app in theory. But I dont need that.

    • on Plasma 6 it now supports Bluetooth
    • if you use a VPN and use it over wifi you need to exclude the apps
    • you need to open firewall ports to use it
  • There’s long been a very strong, racist tendency in the liberal environmentalist movement to blame ecological harm on the number of human bodies that exist. They want us to believe that earth’s degradation would cease if there were fewer people available to consume the fruits of industry and especially agriculture (which is where we get into nitrogen’s domain). We’re exposed to white men who rant about the “population explosion,” or the “population bomb,” phrases which draw easy but still potent double-meanings in the context of nitrogen. Obviously, these writers are stooges of the regime, pushing our discourse away from the real issues. They should be systematically ignored.

    Yes, the total number of humans that exist at any one time has increased over the time of the reign of the dead god, and that’s not a coincidence or accident. But animal bodies, whether human or bovine or chicken, can create only so much ecological damage on their own: pre-industrially, they created none, as the ecosystem re-absorbed the ammonia from their shits. What matters is the subjecting of bodies, not just bovine but also chicken and fish and human, to ecological shortcuts and industrial expediencies of scale that arise from the capitalist imperative. What matters most of all is the amount and type of exosomatic energy that is applied to the means of production. What matters is energy in calories and kilowatt-hours. That’s what mattered when all energy was labor, and still matters today in the exosomatic regime.

    It’s important to remind ourselves of scale, for which we can use Buckminster Fuller’s concept of “energy slaves.” Somewhere after Fuller, an energy slave was defined to be the energetic equivalent to a human working 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. In fact, Fuller adopted the less-stupid standard of a healthy individual working 40 hours per week. That amounts to 3 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per week—it did then, and it does now; human bodies have not changed all that much. The American oil industry produces about 9 billion kWh per week, or about 3 billion energy slaves. (Never count consumption; always count production.) There’s no reason to divide that up per capita, since it’s the oil industry and not citizens producing all that energy. But if you did, it would work out to nine energy slaves for every human body, just from oil, not counting coal and gas. Unlike living bodies, these energy slaves are actually jinn that live within pollutant molecules and that bring pestilence upon our cities in one form or another.

    Nonetheless, the population has increased, and that is because coal oil and gas could be mobilized to synthesize ammonia (NH3) without organic input, which is why this precedes an essay about Nitrogen.

  • Antivirus doesnt work. It would need to monitor the whole system all the time, making it like twice as slow. How do you "stop" such a malware? You cant even uninstall xz without borking systemd.

    Using SELinux especially for user programs, downloading only from trusted repos, having home non-executable apart from that and using a nonwheel user is the best you can do. Apart from using a hardened base Distro, like Secureblue, QubesOS or Tails.

  • Very useful for the future! This is really needed

  • Just download the devel kernel from your distro and go into make menuconfig. I am on an Intel Laptop with recent hardware. No reason to use amd, nvidia etc drivers. And there is a shitload of likely unmaintained drivers for ancient hardware.

  • Root Waydroid lol, thats basically hell.

    Waydroid without SELinux already removes all the Android sandboxing. Now its rooted!

  • What means wrong license? Does it need to be GPL(v3)?

  • Btw do you know how uutils (rust rewrite of GNU coreutils) is doing?
