Probably ships with OpenSSL and/or OpenSSH. Buying a cheap CH341A programmer off of Aliexpress is a lot of fun because you can actually dump the firmware from like 95% of these things with a $5 tool and poke around/reverse engineer them and do some fun things with that knowledge.

I’d really avoid Alienware at all costs. Their machines are super proprietary (meaning you can’t upgrade/replace a lot of the components with off the shelf parts) and usually have really shitty airflow and cooling problems because of the inadequate cooling and horribly designed case they come in. I’ve directed a couple of friends to Build Redux, they’ll build a machine for you for cost of parts + a $50 build fee + shipping and you can even save $150ish bucks by not having them install Windows for you so you can just install/pirate it yourself when you get it, experience was pretty good for both friends.

Ah, it’s that time again, we’re bringing SS7 and it’s problems back into the spotlight baby! I don’t have my fingers crossed that this will be solved anytime soon… I mean it’s been in mainstream media every few years since like, what, 2006?

I’ve never used Bazzite personally, only seen a couple of videos about it and have some prior experience with messing around with Ublue images, so I can’t really comment on Bazzite specifically . If their forums are active and friendly towards people with questions, I guess go for it!

Given that self-identified trans people tend to be more ostracized and are frequently autistic, its not really surprising trans people would typically end up in fields associated with socially-awkward introverts where remote work is more common.

Yep, this is basically my experience in a nutshell. When your computer becomes the place where you can be yourself without being completely ostracized, you tend to just find things to do with it.

I like Aldi, it’s usually a bit cheaper compared to the other shops and they’re usually a lot smaller and less crowded which is nice because I can actually go shopping at a normal time instead of having to wait as late as possible for the bigger stores to not be crowded so I don’t sensory overload and implode.

Even the term they use (“convict leasing”) is like, what the fuck. Like the thirteenth amendment was already mask off, but now we’re just straight up saying you can lease other people?

Bazzite (and atomic/immutable distributions in general) are really neat, but I personally avoid recommending them to first time Linux users because if they end up searching for a solution to a problem they’re having on the internet, the top solutions that pop up in their search engine most likely not going to be what they’re looking for or even work. Explaining the concepts of an immutable distribution and things like rpm-ostree to someone new to Linux can be quite the challenge and turn them off because of they’ll most likely interpret it as unnecessary complexity to achieve a simple goal.

Yep, that’s another great point. KDE Plasma isn’t my cup of tea because it is in fact so similar to Windows, cluttered control panel and all! Though for someone coming from Windows who wants a very similar experience out of the box, it’d probably be great for them. Fedora even has a version that comes with KDE Plasma out of the box instead of GNOME.

Why are you all laughing about this? Lenin forced 962 million people to go to the fair and be happy. Think about that for a second. He forced them to go be happy and have fun. I don’t know how you tankies can keep dismissing this when it’s so clearly evident.

Of course it will be Linux based, building an entire operating system, especially one acceptable by today’s standards, is a ton of work. Not something you do over a few months with a small team of dedicated engineers. Linux serves as a great starting point to (relatively) quickly build a very usable desktop operating system that can be fully independent from the rest of the world if it so desires to be.

I’d definitely recommend trying something like Fedora, it’s a great distribution for beginners and comes with everything you’d need out of the box to just go about your day and you can try it out and mess around with it without actually installing it to your system. You can install software & update your system with a graphical interface, you can manage your files with a graphical interface, and you can change pretty much every setting that matters with a graphical interface. It’s not as scary as you may think and I promise you will most likely never need to “type up lines of instructions to do what Windows can do with a double click”. Want to install Element (the Matrix client) for example? Open up the GNOME software center, search “Element”, click install, done.

The document itself is from the 1970s, it was declassified in 2007. You can read more about Stalin’s purposeful starvation to supress opposition here.

Ah, that makes sense then. I think It’d be cool to see an open-source take on the “everything app”, my (limited) experience with WeChat is quite positive. It’s incredibly convenient to just have one login that can grant you access to everything you’d ever need and have it be widely enough used for it to be actually useful.

I’ve never used Telegram, but from what I can see public Matrix groups could most likely take it’s place? Maybe there’s some features I’m unaware of but
