I hope it’s the former and he’s reinstated with back pay.
I dunno seems like it could go eitherway, anyone pretending to be certain about what happened is probably lying
What’s the average for Ukrainians?
Kocialism is when you get your friend to install KDE
And when enough of your friends install KDE THATS Kommunism

1·1 month agoIt’s not really ambiguous at all.
A stable distro is one that doesn’t update packages except for security updates within the lifecycle of a release.
You can install debian 13 on release day in 2025 and when it gets deprecated in 2030 it will be functionally the same.
A byproduct of that is that apt updates are very unlikely to break anything.
None of that changes that you can run
sudo apt remove dpkgorrm -rf /ordd in=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda1(this one might actually work).But for your average desktop users it means you don’t boot up your laptop and have to learn how to use libreoffice 26’s new UI on the day you need to finish an assignment.
This seems like slop for all the Ubuntu haters, but i agree moving to testing isn’t a good sign.
TBH while I like the hardware of my laptop, I’ve been pretty unimpressed by the software that Tuxedo provide.
While i appreciate not having snaps by default, the control center they ship is an electron app that requires /tmp be executable out of the box, and talks to a backend daemon that wasn’t particularly secure by default, and both live in /opt despite coming from the distro itself, so I think it’s ironic when people engage in technical sneering while throwing stones from within their glasshouses.
Also boot security doesn’t seem to be a priority for them out of the box, this seems like what they should focus on IMO, instead of switching their base
✘ CET OS Support: Unknown ✘ Linux kernel lockdown: Disabled ✘ Linux kernel: Tainted ✘ UEFI secure boot: Disabled
That it’s good enough as a distro, although I’ll probably just switch to neon if Tuxedo move to a rolling release base.
laud Debian for its stability, but you can easily break it with one wrong command.
Well because that’s not the stability release schedules are talking about
the industry has moved beyond simple IP address checks to deep packet inspection of wireless network identifiers.
I don’t think this is a good description of what happened.
The app likely used the BSSID based location service or even did that itself with their own service.
But it renders the advice kind of useless:
- Use Cellular Data for Sensitive Transactions: - Android has the WiFi scanning setting under location services, if that’s enabled the actual connection you use doesn’t matter.
- Utilize Private Hotspots: -same
- Review App Permissions: - the correct fix.
While they cannot stop BSSID collection at the network level
They litterally can, no app installed from the app store is setting your interface to promiscuous mode & manually reading SSID headers, if you don’t give permission to use location services they can’t read use the services that translate BSSIDs into locations.
Whereas Discord the Nazi & groomer site, is completely pedophile free?
Weird to consider Google Pedos you want to keep away from your Discord account.
A bit overdue, but as a Debian user who doesn’t contribute back, not really my place to criticize.
What do you mean by lacking?
I think QML apps are meant to be designed to work on touchscreens but whole pre-QML apps prioritize a mouse+keyboard interface I’d be curious as to how that sucks for touchscreens?
You can never be sure there is no spyware because if your infected a sufficiently advanced spyware can hide itself.
In theory you can use a liveCD to scan your OS for specious signs but if someone has written bespoke spyware for you it may be hard to detect as it won’t match any of the signatures.
Yeah it’s funny with AI they are deliberately obfuscating what they can actually do to scare
peopleCEOs with FOMO.Running an ISP is simpler than a powergrid, sewer system or water system.
It’s how rural America got electricity, it’s wild that the system is so captured that many people believe it’s easier to launch junk into space than to run cables to people’s homes.
Urgh this guy’s videos are soo long and overdramatic.

I don’t think there is anything wrong with attacking corporations that supply the war effort, I just think Ukraine is kidding itself if they think you can bomb morale out of people.
