I’m going to add that no mainstream anti racism group has ever behaved like this. The only other group that does anything similar is Scientology, but they mostly go after people within their group, rather than threaten people not already associated.

So that quote is a summary of what She said. It is not quite accurate but it certainly doesn’t feel far from the intended meaning. Here is the full quote that I found.

“If you target Jewish students, your actions will not disappear into the darkness. We will shine a light on you that, thanks to Google and SEO, will follow you for the rest of your life. When you look for a job, when you look for a spouse, when you look for a nanny, when you look for anything, our work will always be documented, again, thanks to Google and SEO. In corporations where DEI leaders smeared Israel, excused Hamas, we pressured CEOs, some resigned, many were terminated, but policies were changed, thankfully, from governmental to art institutions. Online where anonymous accounts spread violent threats, we trace patterns, elevated evidence, and worked with authorities leading to arrests from Florida, South Carolina, New York, California, and Texas.”

I also like pacseek as it provides a simple tui for package search and getting info about packages.

Electron is a relatively recent thing. What did Devs do in the past?

Hold up. Is this the Electron that is effectively just google chrome running web apps ? I thought this was undesirable, it being bloated and slow? I’ve noticed a few server apps starting to use Electron, which seems like a bad idea. What have I missed, and why is it so important?

So they added a date of birth field. Not technically doing anything wrong but a concerning direction morally. If it wasn’t for the fash / authoritarian bullshit in the world that field wouldn’t be a problem.

However, the question is how should the Linux community respond. Rather than grabbing pitch forks we should do what the Linux community does best. Support the alternatives, be it a fork or a replacement stack.

I’m watching for what lands and becomes popular. It seems inevitable that Devs in countries that aren’t forcing ID checks will build what we need. I hope to see either a fork of systemd free from redhat influence (always suspicious of large corps), or a true set of alternatives that can realistically replace the systemd stack.

The community will drive the change. Put down your pitch forks, pick up your keyboard yourself, or just support the good Devs instead.

I expect someone will just make a systemd patcher package that removes the field and provides clean error handling for anything that tries to use it.

I doubt it will over take Microslop offerings anytime soon, but I also think the rise of the Linux desktop has only just started. I think it will come from non-US countries where government departments make the switch. People start getting comfortable using it at work, which helps build confidence in the alternatives to Microslop shit. Also Valve still pushing hard in the gaming space. I think 10% to 15% market share in 5 years is possible. I doubt it’ll go beyond 20% without some fundamental changes, like laws forcing hardware OEMs to support Linux equally as windows and Mac, and better DRM support.

Guessing a lack of meds, or too many meds of the ring sort maybe. Though he doesn’t look off his face.

This is the only correct answer.

Full Software support and functionality from device vendors.

Too complicated and will piss people off. The real answer is to have the cost absorbed by the energy companies first until they run out of profits. THEN we can look at it hitting people directly.

Cut unnecessary travel, e.g. the office commute.

So, to deploy a new server they’ll want the tech to do a face ID check first? Maybe it needs the CEO’s face as they are technically the owner.

If true, this is abhorrent. If false, the fact it is so believable is somehow more disturbing.

Bingo! Arch with an easy installation and core tweaks almost any user needs. Then you install just the apps you want.

That said I believe CachyOS has some out of box apps that make sense for the gaming oriented user base it is usually aimed at. Not sure the performance difference is worth the hassle beyond some very specific use cases.

On my topping e2x2 pipewire treats my 2 mono inputs as a single stereo input. Left is input 1, right is input 2. Tad irritating.

Not enough comments in thread. New account. Weird facts, some of which is contextually pseudo tech.

So yeah, A lot more evidence needed. Pcap dump? With your skills I’m sure you can redact anything self identifying.

Edit: forgot the weirdest part. 127TB for data? Example: At full 1GB/s that’s 12+ days flooding that link. To sneak that much data out would take weeks.

Also I don’t buy someone with serious data doesn’t have some physical backups.

The choice for me was something that did well in gaming. Features like good VRR support made the voice of KDE plasma the only option. I’m not bothered about the KDE UI. It is nice, and similar to windows, so ready enough to get along with.

I am monitoring Cosmic. Once it has HDR and solid VRR, etc I may try it out.

What are they attacking at this point? There can only be burnt out buildings, camps, and starving kids.

Solid rant. The amazing thing is how quickly people learn to live with whatever they currently have. It explains iPhone users.
