Of course, but by just saying Linux you're bound to be wrong somewhere - I'm just highlighting its so broad its an essentially useless definition (42% of all computers run it by the way). Gnome is pretty shit for customisability, so what's more customisable than having another option?

By looking at 'just Linux' you couldn't be more wrong for the core argument.

It also shifts the blame to many smaller devs like matrix which tbh they're mostly doing work for free so who's gonna complain they don't want to add extra complexity, just get in that source code if you really care. And in the age of such easy frontend engines an experienced could probably whip up their own in a week.

Also ive never had issues with qt/flatpaks, using prism launcher as an example, its seamlessly followed my color scheme (not saying bugs don't exist somewhere I'm not seeing, but there certainly is 'just works support to some degree).

I you're gonna be mad people don't like something, yikes open source isn't for you - git as a whole all but is designed to handle disagreements without breaking its stride.

Uhh Linux is a kernel and on its own doesn't even support graphics much less customising them.

But if you wanna actually blame someone, we'll need to know which software youre talking about - could be OPPO's ColorOS for all we know.

That being said a big name in the Linux world is KDE, and they have one of the best theming engines Ive ever used. Everything QT follows the theme - so much so I didn't even realise how ugly some apps look on windows (like prism launcher not matching my file explorer?? Eww)

That being said I couldn't agree more with the first part, and in linux specifically I wish we had more 'basic display driver' like tools to handle emergency situations.

Hardest part is its a lossy 'encoder' which the parts lost are the human readable part

And if you're using SELinux as a kwallet/keyring replacement, you're using it wrong (but again security in layers doesn't stop you from using both)

Ie. what signal should be using, yet isnt

Drive encryption wouldn't do anything to mitigate this though? A process running on your PC needs access to your drive, and so with the current setup you have either the option to trust 100% every software with your signal encryption keys, or to simply not use them.

Seems like a pretty big security flaw that we have actual solutions to.

You could maybe form a hackey way to allow only the signal process to an encrypted FUSE filesystem that decrypts its own keys on the fly, but again there's already ways to do this in software that isn't like using a wrench to plug a leak. (and this setup would just have it's own set of keys that need to be protected now, probably by a traditional method like kwallet)

[–] Sethayy 5 points 4 months ago

Yeah but they don't have to be visible to every process the user runs, my Minecraft mods really don't need access to my encryption keys

[–] Sethayy 9 points 4 months ago (6 children)

Yeah fuck security in layers, my first layer is 100% bulletproof so I got no reason to worry

Another NDA'd thing would be console integration, theoretically you could better optimize something for the hardware unlicensed if you had reference code

Its just more that its probably related to his mental decline with age, considering he's be older than the average life expectancy of an american. This may further hinder his ability as a leader over the next 4 years - which I think is a valid concern for both sides left and right, and that losing the ability to criticise your own leader essentially means losing your ability to have a say beyond a binary choose (democrats or republicans).

I don't like people bringing this to an ableist perspective because there are always going to be things disabled people are unable to do, ie you wouldnt want a blind crane operator.

(Little side now down here but anyone else see he's requested official events take place before 8pm, theoretically because he is sundowning? Like this man has control over and is currently bombing cities day by day yet is hardly able to say awake as long as some citizens work in a single shift.)

Pps, I didn't compare anything to trump here cause I have a much longer paragraph to rant about him that wasn't really related, but I want to give context that I'm about as far from a right wing supporter as can be

[–] Sethayy 3 points 4 months ago

Maybe context due to the surrounding area? Seems a lot more likely to be a 1-10° delta instead of a 80° one

As in you're trying to intentionally annoy them?
