you don’t have to memorize the commands, just use tldr command and apropos to your advantage.

Everything will seem difficult when you’re not used to it and are changing habit, it’s not just a GUI to CLI thing.

Pardon my ignorance but what does P&CI stand for?

Edit: nvm got it I think it’s Point & Click Interface

Just cause you opt out of those features doesn’t mean the car doesn’t have other mandatory shit that connects to the internet to, say, sell data like the exact times and locations of when you have sex.

Inb4 “but I don’t have to worry about it cause I don’t have sex” we know, but that’s not the only thing they gather data on.

Both of my statements are correct. Cars shouldn’t have internet and there should be less cars. In total absence of offline cars (meaning no used cars, nothing at all), use bikes and public transportation if you can.

I mean you literally asked for an alternative and I gave you one.

Public transit/bikes are (or should be) a good alternative if you can’t find normal, used, dumb cars anymore

And this is another reason why putting internet on cars is a bad idea

Use an easy to use immutable distro like Fedora silverblue

Tbf not letting the average windows user turn off windows defender is a good idea

1. There’s data-sharing agreements with more than just the N eyes countries
2. If there’s an international warrant for that data the company is obliged to comply regardless

The only countries in which n° 2 doesn’t apply for the US are countries you really don’t want your data in either.

In short, however: if a government really wants your data it will find a way to get it no matter where you store that data, so the best thing is to simply not store that data at all, Mullvad and Signal don’t do that.

I mean maybe but you could also just say “we did some whacky shit here help us fix it please” and let the community help you in the effort. That’s the beauty of open source. Then again they may have their reasons and frankly I’m not even interested in a TikTok like social media so w/e as long as they don’t eat up their word it’s fine.

Jurisdiction is not that important. Even if it was in Switzerland it’d have to comply with international law enforcement and warrants. The key is that sure Signal is obliged to give out whatever data it has, but the point is that it doesn’t have much useful data to give. It’s the same as Mullvad, and a far smarter approach than “lol we just gonna ignore the warrant huhuhu look at us we host somewhere in Shitzerfuck” (oh btw “We are in X country which is not in N eyes” is just marketing).

Oh and btw the same goes for instances of the fediverse (which are ran by volunteers you need to trust), and if they don’t comply and the US government really wants to break into them they probably will find a way. Doesn’t even need some complicated backdoors or anything it just needs to find an OPSEC slip-up, do some social engineering, arrest someone or at worst find a bug to exploit, and I can guarantee that unless you have some serious security wizards running your instance you’re not beating the FBI there and if the FBI is really persistent and focused on you for some reason then the wizards won’t be enough you need state actors.

If your threat model actually includes the US government (aka you’re actually in danger and not some paranoia or just-in-case situation, be realistic with yourself) and there’s credible threats you may be targeted by it or other governments then you’re probably going to be using tor, briar, all that jazz, and wouldn’t be on lemmy. If you’re just some guy who just needs to message your family and shit Signal is perfectly fine, I can tell you that unless you’re a serious threat to the government they won’t waste resources cracking down ways to capture you via signal or whatever you use that is even somewhat secure (so no telegram, no WhatsApp, no messenger, etc), even if you’re a minority or activist, if not because you’re not important enough then because they have other easier ways to do it.

Edit: oh and btw Signal was banned in Ruzzia (a country way more authoritarian than the US currently is) because the FSB couldn’t crack it so that goes to show it is pretty secure.

Apparently there is one

I honestly don’t see this thorough testing. Not for a lot of apps I use anyway. It’s normal tbf even with 2 year you can’t thoroughly test every package for every bug, so you’re stuck with very old bugs a lot more often than people think. And on top of that some packages are so old that instructions you find on their git pages or wherever are too new and don’t work.

Could someone remind me what the appeal behind Void is exactly?

I use Arch btw

“Ukraine has a nazi problem” bitch the far right parties got 2% of the vote in the last elections (post-Euromaidan) which isn’t even enough to get a seat in the rada. Compare that to any western nation, even the ones with the smallest far right problem, it’s not even close. Or look at the puppet the ruzzians put in charge of the LPR in 2014, literally a neo-nazi. Hell look at ruzzia and tell me with a straight face it ain’t a fascist regime I dare you. Go on, go tell us how a fascist and terrorist state is somehow sending units like Rusich to denazify a democratic nation whose president is a totally nazi jewish guy (whose first language was Russian) from the Donbas (and who was criticized because he wanted to make a peace deal with Russia before 2022) and the population is all nazis but somehow never vote nazis and someohow even have museums to anarchists (actually, had, because the ruzzians recently burned it) or antifascists.

You whine people say you’re a ruzzian bot and then you literally act like one, nay worse you act like a privileged westerner, posting decontextualized and misleading headlines. Sometimes it’s even just citing some literal propaganda outlets and calling it a fact and reason why Ukraine is somehow the warmongering nation, as opposed to you know the one who actually sent troops to annex parts if Ukraine after the Ukrainians kicked their corrupt puppet oligarch.

Fucking imperialist justificatuinist and tankie trash is what you are, сука.

then even more reason to start de-windowsifying your workflows now rather than doing it all at once later

why wait the death of win10 when you can switch now, get that painful first days learning things out of the way now that you have a fallback if absolutely necessary

I was born in 2001 and I still used casettes when I was a kid

ok mr fancypants how about I call it a flopper? How bout that
