Thats why “easy to use” is very subjective.

Gnome is sure easy but if things mess up and i need to reinstall? I had to hunt and reinstall my extensions and enable the right settings. That could take like 30 mins or more, after reinstalling the distro.

In minimal setup like sway? I can literally git clone and then stow all my dot files. No more than 5 mins. I could do it with 10 beers at 3am in.

QuebeOS is cool. I tried it once and havent tried again.

I get that it is secure, but i feel like i need to rewire how my brain works. E.g. you dont open a Download folder, instead you spawn a File manager quebe and open Thunar

yes we had so many talent casts. RIP Anthony Head and of course John Hurt…

i’ve been getting a lot of “recommended” youtube videos on gentoo and nixos

send help plezz

i use a yubikey and still have the ability to type my LUKs password in. Yubikey is just more convenience: plug in and it auto type the password field. On Fedora this means it populates the field with asterisks. Still, i think using password is the best method.

With that said, i believe a much better secure layer is something similar to what Novacustoms, Purism attempt to do: verify if somebody else not you try to access the laptop. So far i know of only Dasharo boot and the stuff from Purism that can do these…

So the layout is: Boot verification -> LUKs-> your data

Or if you have the juices and powers: Boot verification -> LUKS -> QuebeOS dom0 -> choose your Quebess.

these motherfuckers and their fam and friends are now alive because of him. Nobody wants to acknowledge that cuz too coward.

my memories of the covid years are hazy. Yeh we were stuck in doors and so months and days seemed squashed together.

But i still remember some details:

• when covid broke out early 2020 after that fire in Australia, Dr Fauci and the covid taskforce recommended to wash hands and mask up.

=> fox and the republicunts immediately flood the news with stuff like guys wearing mask die because they csnt breath, or their typical narrative “what covid its just a flu”

• when things got pretty serious in US, i remember around May 2020. Remember that cruise ship and people were guarantined? Yeh we were recommended to stay home and avoid public places

==> holy shit, i remember very large crowds in LA carrying maga signs saying shit like “covid from china not us, we from us so we safe”…The fox news cunts were pushing stuff like “dont stay home cuz unconstitutional lol, this is US not china communist lol”

==> later in the years we had very large spikes, what did these maga pussies do? They flooded the streets of michigan, demanding to hang the gov Gretchen Whitmer.

or unless you go Quebes and you no longer think in terms of partition anymore…,…

Beshear should just Facetime turtle guy.

I mean, seriously you can take a selfie but NOT a video?

i like ä and ü and ö

Imagine signing your name and at the end you put the 2 dots on.

yes you can. On Graphene you can set the main profile as just there with nothing except to control wifi/add esim/etc. Then you can create many profiles with their own passwords. You can store your work stuff in 1 profile, private stuff in another. You can even create a dummy profile with fake Google. .

The downside currently is that the OS autoboot to main profile. Then you switch to your other profiles.

GrapheneOS - the only OS that i just installed and forget about it. Sure i spend time to tweak things like profiles but thats it.

And I am a distro and rom hopper.

The security model is that good: duress pin, scrambled pin, separate profiles with their own passwords, usb c restriction (you can set it charge only, charge while phone is off (most secure state).

whats a reliablebackup nowadays? Back in 2012 when i messed around with rom hack, there was the titanium backup. Im on Graphene btw

i understand how smart TV can be a problem. But monitors too?

They’ll install the spyware via your hdmi / display port or what?

i felt a great disturbance in the toilets…

as of hundreds of thousands of plumbers cry out in horror…

the fucked up thing is this GDID thing apparently also show up for VM. So that would mean any VM and even a Quebe?

Fuck microsoft

same i dont even mind if the screen is shit, kust give me dual physical sim + esim and a big battery.

i want a car with zero touchscreen. Heck, even no reverse camera - older folks have been driving just fine for years with just the side and rear mirrors. 3 pedals.

i can still literally smell and remember the atmosphere in those IT classes:

• PCs takes 10 mins to boot sometimes 30 mins. By the time it boots, we are out of time and cant play any games. Yes we are allowed the last 10 mins of class to play games.

• Remember DAVE the game?

• Keyboards are very satisfying to type on. Mouse is a hit n miss because they have those ball thing to control the direction. I.e. sometimes the ball gets stuck and you cannot click or scroll.

• A bunch of geeks try to send message using net send command. We thought we are the gangsters.

• Nothing worse than having an IT class after lunch, you have like 50 kids and 25 pcs and there are NO A.C. The only thing you have is the ceiling fan.

Toum

tried it once. Now i put it on EVERYTHING

I have like bottles of toum store in the fridge, you know those ketchup bottles. So i can squeeze Toum on whatever i like.

The hard part is peeling garlic…
