Then it’ll probably shock you even more when you realise that this thing is hosted on Github, a site owned by Microsoft… :)

… for now. They’ve already replaced the old Notepad with a bloated UWP version, so it probably won’t be long before it starts sending telemetry as well.

IT guy here, the NFC thing isn’t really a concern (NFC doesn’t work that way) or for that matter, any other wireless technology, as it’ll need to authenticate with your phone somehow. If you can somehow simply scan data from a phone without any form of authentication, that would be a massive security hole - something that would be patched by the vendors real quick. Also, if something like that were possible then the TSA/FBI wouldn’t have any issues pulling data from locked phones. Think of all the times you’ve had to put your phone thru the xray machines at the airports. Also see the case of FBI vs Apple for instance.

The other issues you’ve mentioned are valid though. Heck my Galaxy Fold won’t even fit in that slot.

it is a stupidly simple working demo of DRM circumvention

A much more simpler method is to just use Streamfab. No need for nVidia, a second PC etc.

In my experience (W11 + Fedora on UEFI Thinkpad), I’ve seen it actually get rid of the Fedora entry from the UEFI boot list. Reinstalling GRUB from chroot didn’t fix it, so I used EasyUEFI and manually added the Fedora EFI file to the boot list and that worked.

So it wasn’t simply changing the boot order, it actually nuked Fedora from the UEFI boot list.

I that case, check out Fedora CoreOS.

https://www.talos.dev/

It runs entirely in RAM, administration is super simple, no ssh, easy to update/and upgrade, immutable, minimal distro designed specifically for secure container usage.

How about Gogs? The whole thing is < 30 MB, and is lightweight enough to run on a Raspberry Pi. You can even get a native binary package if you want to run it without the overhead of Docker.

The enshittification actually began several years ago, back when FB bought WhatsApp. That was the moment you gave up on privacy, the moment that was a clear sign that it was all going to go downhill from there. If y’all didn’t quit WhatsApp at that time, then you bought it upon yourselves. The truth is, you’ve been using a shitty service for a long time and whoring your data to Meta and making Zuckerberg richer, so this latest feature bloat or w/e isn’t the least bit interesting.

#Roombas, roll out!

Ooh, does Latte Dock work under Wayland now?

Looks nice! How did you get/make the top panel, and what are you using for the dock?

FTFY

Microsoft now has implemented “compare with Microsoft Bing Chat™, an AI search engine powered by OpenAI GPT-4™” button when you visit Alphabet’s Google Bard™ in Microsoft Edge™©®

How are you finding it so far? As in is it actually usable for day-to-day stuff (like decent battery life, working suspend/resume, hardware accelerated video playback etc)?

Asahi kernel, so most likely a MacBook M1 or something.

Wow, Cult of the Dead Cow, what a blast from the past. Takes me back to my childhood, playing with Back Orifice and NetBus on our school PCs and trolling my classmates. Good times.

Just tested and confirm it doesn’t work on Fedora 38. When you run it, you get an error saying:

bash: fork: retry: Resource temporarily unavailable.

It still does the loop, but doesn’t slow down the system or anything, and you can easily close the terminal window.

As I said before, systemd imposes cgroup limits per user so fork bombs no longer work.

A fork bomb no longer works on modern distros which use systemd btw, since systemd imposes limits on the user and system cgroups (IIRC, a user can’t have more than ~10,000 tasks or something).

The other comments explained what a launcher is so I won’t go into that.

Instead, I’m here to plug one of my favorite launchers, AIO Launcher, which is a very different kind of launcher compared to the others.

Here’s what it looks like, on my Galaxy Fold 4:

AIO stands for all-in-one, and as you can see from the screenshot above, it has a lot of things, which is handy because I don’t need to open a bunch of different apps to get my news, weather, emails, calendar events, notifications etc - all of it is on my home screen, which makes it very convenient and saves me a lot of time.

I will always opt to run dedicated APs

Any recommendations for a dedicated Wi-Fi 6+ AP that supports open firmware?
