I run Gentoo as my main distro, and have for a couple years now. It’s a pretty stable rolling release (IMO more stable than Arch), and since you’re already an advanced user, the experience should be pretty rewarding!

The wiki is great, and the installation handbook is top notch.

You get to control exactly what features each package is compiled with, so no bloat at all.

KDE 6 just landed too!

Maybe confused with xz: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-3094 ?

Bah, real power users only need a magnet and a pin.

Linux is whatever the Linux Mark Institute says it is.

I recently started using it and screw you all for recommending it. My walks take like twice as long now.

Eh, it’s also much easier to slap a client-side detector on because you can use generic detection methods. When you’re doing it server-side, you have to rely a lot on statistical analysis and it’s all game specific.

In the end you can, of course, reduce it all to not shelling out money, but there is some nuance too.

It’s FOSS. It’s pretty normal for it to be a passion project or a community effort.

Let me preface this by saying I don’t see the value of 99% of NFTs either, but it is technically possible to make one that stores the image on the blockchain or on IPFS. Most don’t, obviously, but it is possible.

I am aware. What processing is only possible in the cloud, and not locally?

Edit: My apologies, I didn’t realize you weren’t the same person I originally replied to. Please disregard!

Until homeomorphic encryption becomes a thing, cloud can’t be secure or private.

Why do you need homeomorphic encryption? Isn’t client-side encryption good enough for most use cases?

I’m still pretty happy with my Miele vacuum from 2018, and they seem to promise spare parts for 15 years.

I bet my model is nothing compared to what they were 20 years ago though 🤣

Watching TNG for the first time now and loving it way more than Disco :)

There’s so much to look forward to! It is a bit dated and I watch it through rose-colored glasses, but even with that in mind, it’s a good show.

Using your shared libraries is always a good thing, no? Like your distro’s packages should always have the latest security fixes and such, while flatpaks require a separate upgrade path.

Access to your entire filesystem, however, I agree with you on.

Of course. I just think it’s important to mention that there are societal reasons why there is a higher percentage compared to the general population of qualified whites applying for a job.

White people are not better at doing anything than other races.

I think this is doing a disservice to one of the goals of DEI. White people are more qualified for certain types of jobs because historically they’ve had better access to education and healthcare. Even if access has become more equal lately, there are still other barriers that take longer to remove (eg. being the first person in the family to go to university, not having wealthy parents, etc.)

DEI can counterbalance this.

Unpopular opinion: Gnome software is pretty solid, and if your computer usage patterns overlap with their design, it is quite a lovely DE. I’d rather have something that works well, even if it doesn’t do everything under the sun.

Fuck, now I have to say fuck ten time to balance out the five censored fucks in this fucking post. Fuck this fucking noise, you’re allowed to say fuck on the fucking internet for fuck’s sake. Fuck.

“fucking” for fucks sake.

This requires an Apple iPhone XR or newer, as the face scan utilizes the TrueDepth sensor.

I’d rather take a plaster mold of my face than have to use a specific phone to order a VR headset.
