Two big questions:
- Is this enabled by default? (Hopefully not!)
- And, can these parental controls be used without relying on the GNOME Shell DE?

“Stop using electricity” - Suanpan Abacus Tutorial for Beginners
If a piece of information is important enough, somebody will physically go to my house and tell me. Otherwise I just avoid information altogether


Dunno man, even the Wammy’s House looks like a more trustworthy “neurodivergent fellowship” than Palantir’s.


Not sure if it’s a good idea to start at this point in life, especially since I have no friends, no prospect of dating in the short to middle term, and a carefully curated life to avoid the libido from making things worse for my loneliness.


Nobody cares about it, but I’ve been a straight-edge for 35 years and counting. No drugs, no booze, not even cranking the hog. On the other hand though, I can’t afford anything fun anyways, neither on money, time, or the less-known ethical implications (haven’t been able to watch a movie in years, for instance)


What are the chances, a CVE due to KDE Connect authenticating pairs of nodes it shouldn’t, while I at home can’t get to keep the authentication between nodes that should (they automatically disconnect after a while, for some reason)


It’s to know whether it’s still ethically safe to keep using FWUpd or not.


Given the precedent with Framework: does somebody know if the maintainer of FWUpd is right-wing?


Fair reason to rename the project, but isn’t it reasonable to consider it already too tainted by historic association and requiring a delisting instead?
Nearly everyone else in a team I work on decided to leave along with their boss, so guess who’s left with the knowledge


Corporate needs to have somebody to sue in case of a policy violation. Very especially those debloated apps that float around the web - they need to ensure they have a physical person to pin the blame to in court.


Calling it already, one of the most popular apps around will be a wrapper around ADB in order to install new apps - maybe Shizuku or Sui?
I should probably go get a replacement screen for my old OnePlus 3T, while I still can…
Flatpak being securely sandboxed by default is both its biggest strength and its worst point of contention. The XDG is still scrambling to replicate the permission requests paradigm from Android on the Linux desktop.
That reminds me, is Flatpak packaging CLI tools already?


I’d settle for that solution anyways, but only as long as users can still mix and match kernels (one for secure boot and games that require anti-cheat, and another for custom hardware)


Which is why I prefer the MacOS approach better - instead of relying on the developer adding a hypervisor, Apple uses binary signatures for all the relevant system files which are attested via something similar to Secure Boot, plus an Apple-provided API for runtime attestation, to ensure that the system has not been touched since boot. I suspect that Valve’s assistance in making Arch Linux builds reproducible is pointing towards that goal.


Single-player? Absolutely. Multiplayer though? Outside of fighting games, indie games, and anything made by Valve, it’s increasingly difficult to find any multiplayer game that works on Linux, and even those that still work can have the multiplayer yanked off down the line like what happened with Apex Legends.
Fun that you mention it, my DDR4 sticks run at 3200 MHz. So finding DDR3 sticks that run at 6400 MHz, and a compatible motherboard and CPU of course, would potentially be an upgrade to what I currently have.
