The way permissions are listed on mobile operating these days is honestly pretty misleading.

For example, I know some apps that need to request network permission even though they don’t need to connect to the internet. Not because they want to do anything shady, but because they legitably have to in order to get certain info.

Not to mention the problem of listing everything an app can do as if it is doing all of those things.

I guess you run a bit of everything, but I couldn’t tell you what every distro is doing with their package manager. All I know is I installed it the same way as most other things on linux using the distro repos and let those guys sort out what versions should be used. I just wanted to point out that the original commenter wasn’t necessarily wrong. That I could in fact follow their instructions and it was there for me as indicated by the screenshot with no further action from me.

It is there for me on Arch linux. Distro package.

Edit: Based on your comment about going to the website to get the software. Maybe you are a windows user?

I think we need uncompromising people in this world. Doesn’t mean we have to listen or follow everything they say though. Those are my thoughts on GNU.

I also have a 3080 and have been considering switching to AMD, but with the problems you describe. Maybe, I’ll give Intel’s offerings a shot assuming the graphics cards don’t suffer the same way their cpu’s are right now.

Weird, I haven’t had any issues since I bought it on steam whenever the official release was.

My only problem with Signal is the inability to manually sync conversations. Even if I have backups from my phone. They can’t be used on the desktop. I have seen some third party tools, but even those state that they might not work.

Purchasing my first home, apparently all info regarding the sale is public information. Companies scrape or buy this data and then spam your mailbox with various extra services. In my case, it was mortgage premium insurance or something like that. Anyways, the letter I received in the mail went something like this: “You forgot something important regarding your home purchase”. I don’t remember the exact words, but it was something like that.

I’m a first time home buyer and I am trying to stay on top of things. Of course, because they are able to get all the information regarding the sale. It looks legit, they have my name, address, loan number, loan amount, the bank serving the loan and everything. I call to make sure everything is alright and fortunately they didn’t answer. I took the extra time to look up what mortgage premium insurance even was and that is how I came across the fact that it may be a scam.

Anyways, they call me back eventually and by this time I am on to them. I ask some questions regarding their company and the entire time they keep repeating the name of the bank that is serving my loan, but refuse to give me the name of their company. After a bit more back and forth they finally let it slip that they are from some unrelated insurance company to which I decline their offer. I wanted to curse them out, but I just wasn’t raised that way.

Edit: A lot of people don’t take online privacy seriously. Usually going whats the harm. I was never really comfortable with it to the point of apathy, but I was a bit lax at times. This experience made me find out first hand what the harm of everyone having access to your data is.

Press X to doubt.

Wow, they actually asked this time?

Thanks for the history lesson. Honestly every one of those different names and translations is pretty good too.

Bruh, Mozart’s whole ass name was cool as hell. Not just his last name. This man wins hands down.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

That’s super interesting stuff. Cool to see what is going on under the hood with Qt’s wayland support and how the KDE folks are solving these issues.

The conclusion is that they are basically the same except for in cases where vrr is a factor. In those cases kde is better because gnome doesn’t currently support vrr.

If you are dual booting, then disable fast boot in the bios to keep windows from locking various devices.

Do what you gotta do.

Yeah, donate to kde every now and then.

Why not use something else? I know what community this is but still. Internet Archive serves a lot of important purposes and they’ve got enough heat on their back as is.

Privacy is important everywhere, people most often answer this question regarding digital privacy, but think about in your everyday life. For example, I just bought a house. Buying a house is public record here in the states. The moment you buy a house companies will grab that data and then start trying to sell you services. They will use the name of the bank that you took out a loan with, they know your loan number, loan type, loan amount, full name and address. They will do everything to misrepresent who they are as if they come from the bank that holds your loan to sign you up for some service you most likely don’t want or don’t need. Older people fall for it all the time. Digitally it just gets worse.

I agree with the terms of service bit, but the hard part is going through the tos for so many different sites. Sort like how some open source code bases can’t re-license a code base because it is impossible to get into contact with all the people who have contributed to the project over the years. Online platforms already have certain protections from their users posting illegal content to their sites. We will have to see if that is extended to these large language models. When it comes to free use, there is no such thing. Free use must be proven in court. Each and every time. There are no guidelines on what is and isn’t free use when it comes to word of law, so that can swing either way. Just my two cents on the matter. Also, (inal).
