  • If not intentially a minority and I get into a fight and I did not know they were gay, palestinian, jewish, or whatever. Can I still be charged with a hate crime? Or does one have to know first?

    Jump

  • That's a good point; I had overlooked that as a category. That said, it is sort of the odd one out in terms of "immutable traits" (notwithstanding Jews specifically, at least when referring to ethnicity rather than religion).

    Jump

  • Generally speaking, hate crimes are only applicable to crimes motivated by a hatred for an immutable trait. Social or political ideology isn't immutable, so it wouldn't be protected.

  • New Debian release on the horizon?

    Jump

  • Ah, I assumed you were just talking about the upcoming release. AFAIK trixie-backports doesn't exist yet though.

  • how to get unbanned from communities?

    Jump

  • Um... no? Literally the first removed comment is for using a slur, a good chunk of them are blatant spam, and while others are maybe borderline for personal attacks I definitely wouldn't call the mods who removed them "power-tripping".

  • New Debian release on the horizon?

    Jump

  • Debian stable only uses LTS kernel releases, so unfortunately you'll need to wait for it to appear in trixie-backports.

  • If I snapped you back in time 650 years right this very second, how would you use your current knowledge to succeed?

    Jump

  • Middle English is certainly difficult to understand, but most words still bear some resemblance to modern English. I think it would probably be more like a native German speaker trying to understand a heavy Bavarian dialect, or at worst a Dutch speaker trying to understand the same.

  • What are the best options for computers that explicitly support linux operating systems?

    Jump

  • Gateway is a special case since it connects two systems and on Wayland it uses the scaling of the "server" system rather than the host. This is a pretty unique class of issue, at least in my experience. To be honest, I'm not even sure if it works correctly on X11.

  • What are the best options for computers that explicitly support linux operating systems?

    Jump

  • I honestly haven't had that experience at all with Framework, at least on Plasma Wayland. All of the apps I use play very nice with scaling (with the exception of apps through JetBrains Gateway, but that's a different can of worms).

  • Why do people insist on not answering ALL the questions in an email or text message?

    Jump

  • So I will gloss over, see if it's addressed to me, of not I will probably wait until it becomes my problem to react/reply

    Tbh I would rather have someone do this not realizing I'm expecting a reply from them than to reply only to some of it, because when the latter happens it's usually like pulling teeth to get a response to the rest.

  • Why dont more people live in smaller communities , appart from economic opportunity (WFH is making it possible if not prefferable too)

    Jump

  • Out of curiosity, what region are you in? I live in a city of ~80,000 in the northeastish US and I'm not even sure it's possible to be more than 5 or 10 minutes from a grocery store here.

  • Looking for a "set it and forget it" distro

    Jump

  • Fedora Workstation has been really good in my experience. The available software is shockingly up to date and I haven't run into much breakage of any kind in the year or so I've been using it across 2 systems (despite my best efforts every few months when the urge to tinker hits me). I do occasionally run into issues caused by the default SELinux policies, but they're not especially difficult to work around if you're comfortable using the terminal.

    I do share your sentiment about the AUR - I definitely miss it at times. That said, Flatpaks and the fact that pre-built RPMs are so commonplace have both softened the blow a lot.

  • Is it possible to design a (pen and paper) cipher that is secure against government cryptanalysis for at least 10 years?

    Jump

  • That's assuming the key and message are entirely independent. If you or the recipient isthe type of person or doing the types of things that would attract surveillance from a nation state (because realistically that's the one of the only scenarios where non-esoteric privacy practices might not cut it), it's not unrealistic that they'd intercept both your digital and physical mail and would be able to correlate them. At least with public key encryption, the private key is never actually in transit.

  • Safe to use a browser installed from AUR?

    Jump

  • They're referring to Firefox forks which are available only in the AUR and not from the main repos. In that case there can be a level of risk, but you can manually review the PKGBUILD of whatever package you end up installing to verify that it's not doing anything fishy when pulling sources.

    Apart from that, you may also want to look into potentially installing a Flatpak. This still comes with some risk if it's not official (packaged and published by the original devs), but AFAIK there's at least some sort of vetting process for packages to be accepted into Flathub.

    Jump

  • This is how all modern cryptography works. A deterministic cipher is functionally no different from pig Latin when it comes to actual security. An electronic solution like public key cryptography is infinitely more secure. If you're especially paranoid you can generate the cryptotext locally and send it by email; that would be much safer than anything you could achieve by hand.

    How to disable Polkit password prompts (the annoying ones that pop up when you want to update, for example)

    Jump

  • Odds are, it's usually the opposite because they're insecure and can't handle when people do things differently from them.

    If this isn't projection then I don't know what is.

  • What can I actually do with 64 GB or RAM?

    Jump

  • Unless something's gone over my head here, this is off by around 6 orders of magnitude.

    How do I choose a mate?

    Jump

  • Putting aside the braggadocio here, find someone that makes you happy and that you enjoy spending time with. But also, try to quit the habit of framing human relationships in clinical, strictly biological language. It's frankly quite weird and off-putting and comes across as antisocial.

  • Removed

    Are mood problems a “turn off” for people even when they’re hard to manage?

    Jump

  • It sounds like you ruined it for yourself. Judging from all of your replies and especially this one in particular, you seem to lack the ability to take basic accountability for your own actions. I would suggest reflecting on the cause-and-effect in the anecdotes you've shared and try to visualize how they might played out were the roles reversed and other people spoke to/treated you the way that you describe treating them. Even if you have some degree of sociopathy (I'm not a mental health professional by any means), you should still be able to reflect on these situations on an intellectual and objective level and consider that you might be the cause of these conflicts.

  • Does anyone actually know what MAGA all agree they are getting out of all this?
