As someone who recommends Arch to new users that have some familiarity with CLI AND also likes to tinker, I will always advise to check their wiki and forum. Check for the very specific problem you're having. Even the model sometimes helps. From other comments, I see you're mentioning logitech, maybe this wiki entry will help, but maybe it won't. In which case, search for more information. Check their wiki entry for other logitech mice, for wireless mice, for general mice.

Now, onto the next issue, what do you mean by not launch right? From there, maybe I can help with the issue.

This is also why I recommend this to someone that would like to tinker with their system. Arch requires a lot of reading. But once you understand it, it becomes "yours" and you obtain a lot of knowledge about the system that you're using.

Now, for everyone who doesn't like to tinker, use bazzite. I heard that it just works™.

Wage theft is the failing to pay wages or provide employee benefits owed to an employee by contract or law.". The wage is already yours to begin with. You are entitled to wage/payment for a work contract that you fulfill. The other party failing to fulfill their ends of the contract makes it theft.

You're welcome. I also recommends Arch Wiki on SELinux. It helps clarify a lot of things and how different it is with traditional linux privilege escalation.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (3 children)

Right, working on every device requires a hardware solution. I haven't encountered any such hardware yet but I do know that it is possible. Next, your second requirement makes what you're trying to accomplish impossible. Privilege escalation by definition will escalate the privilege. The problem lies in the fact that the root user is basically a god in linux. You can even wipe your system if you so desire. However, you can read more into SELinux or other similar systems. It works by basically running check on the kernel level not user level. But the only solutions I can think of will make other day-to-day tasks more of a hassle. Also, note that whoever knows how to modify the SELinux can also bypass the system. I found an answer on serverfault that points to a blog. However, I haven't read the blog yet. You may find an answer there.

By definition, you can't. Any software level solution will fail since you can just move the drive somewhere else. It must be baked into the hardware and firmware.

Edit to add further clarification. Do you need it to be failing on every device or just on a device that you control? Since as stated before, moving a mass storage will completely overthrow any software solution

I think you hit the nail on the head there. Arch users are the one that has successfully installed Arch and as a result, got more in-depth knowledge about their own installation.

I never saw the logo in such a high definitions before.

Yeah, and that word also carries the heavy burden of that statement. I don't want to be pedantic but the US law states theft is the taking of another person's personal property with the intent of depriving that person the use of their property. And for patent infringement it is defined as the unlawful use, selling, or copying of a patented invention.

The laws for infringement and theft are different precisely because they come from different reasons. For theft to occur, someone must be deprived of something that they already have.

Infringement on the other hand, can be done without needing to take anything at all from the owner.

Hence why I said it is not stealing

Edit just for clarity. I said stealing potential profit explicitly. So you cannot sue for that, but rather sue for patent infringement.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago (5 children)

Yes, and as I said before, if we were going to argue about lost profit then take 3D printing for example. Companies like GW don't like it when someone uses 3D printed model. The physical plastic model itself is never stolen. In fact, someone can buy it and 3D scan it themselves and then share it. Some governments are considering banning it because it can be used to manufacture guns. Why did I compare the two? Because nothing was stolen, and in fact, something was made instead. Printing money yourself is also made illegal and you never stole someone else's money.

Did I miss a news? What happened the last time Nintendo mentioned the developer working on their game?
