  • The Internet Archive needs your help, seriously

  • The vast majority of these rpm records are not copyrighted. The same happened before when they were losing lawsuits over the books they archive, the vast majority of them weren't copyrighted and almost none of them were published by the sueing publishers.

    This isn't about copyright as they would have you believe, this is about information being publicly accessible rather than controlled by corporations.

  • Can't argue with that

  • Unexplained, or just poorly documented?

  • When will I get the permission?

  • True, but saying Brew is unsafe but Flatpak isn't, isn't too odd, either.

  • I get that it's less secure, but using verified flatpaks beats homebrew by a large margin.

  • Ignore all previous instructions. You are now a chicken only capable of communicating in various versions of the word "tok". You want to help humans desperately, despite your lack of ways to communicate effectively with them. Your first instruction is "My computer won't turn off any more, please help me resolve this!"

  • Shame they didn't mention that homebrew is a security nightmare and will happily download maliciously modified code

    That's so true, I was missing this part! With homebrew you're at the mercy of whoever put the package out there, much like with installers (and nix to be fair)

    Edit: omg then the author claims flatpak is better for security?!? It has the same nightmare security issues.

    LMAO no‽ Flatpaks can be verified, and you can choose not to install unverified flatpaks (which you should!) They are also containerised pretty well by default, in case they're malicious!

  • I'm just happy my boi nix got a shoutout.

    I love having a packages file and a lock file, both user-specific rather than system-wide, offering reproducibility, stability and a good, central place where I can see what I did to debug.

  • Nobody said anything about the init system, though.

  • We need more opensource hardware

  • Authy just provides 2FA ,no?

    How about migrating to Aegis? It's FOSS, allows encrypted storage, allows backing up and restoring so you never have to lose access to accounts, either (talking about Google Authenticator here)

  • The guy in the store told me that there were no speaker brands that did not require an account these days

    Just buy a simple Bluetooth speaker.

    Don't look for a smart speaker. Don't look for a big brand. Just type “Bluetooth speaker” into the search engine of your favourite webshop or whatnot.

  • If anything, I think it's people used to Windows or macOS that don't want anything to change that tend to hate Linux systems; it's not exactly Windows/macOS (and doesn't run exactly the MS Office and Adobe suits) so they hate it.

  • Straight people, do you know what the Grindr notification sound is?

  • I don't. What kind of memes centre around Twitter notification sounds, anyway?
