Alberta Premier Smith willing to use the notwithstanding clause on trans health bill in c/canada@lemmy.ca
[–] GolfNovemberUniform@infosec.pub 0 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

Way to go, Smith!

The "right to preserve fertility" is kind of a weird and wrong reason here but the intention and the implementation are great so still good enough. Letting minors make decisions like that is crazy and stupid. I'd say the legal age of adulthood (18 in most countries) is not big enough nowadays for this particular kind of decisions but it's a completely different story.

Nothing can be considered a lie without proof which you guys most likely don't have.

Here's How Linux Mint is Silently Redefining User Experience in c/linux@programming.dev
[–] GolfNovemberUniform@infosec.pub 13 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I think it's because more cutting-edge options are not anywhere near as easy to set up and use.

Also visit flatpak.org for more information about how stable distros get around the old packages issue.

I think Windows 10 going EOL is a good opportunity for Linux. People know how objectively bad Windows 11 is and how intrusive Microsoft ads can be.

I'm all in for terminal games. GUI games are bloat.

GNU Shepherd 1.0 Service Manager Released As "Solid Tool" Alternative To systemd in c/linux@programming.dev

Ok so it's basically a yet another point of fragmentation. Nice.

How is it different to runit or openrc?

Why do open-source social platforms have much more biased moderation than proprietary commercial alternatives? (infosec.pub)

No like seriously, I get that the admins work for free but FOSS is supposed to be about freedom and making products that everyone can benefit from yet still the bias is simply hilarious sometimes and concerning usually.

For the record, I'm talking about conflicts of different opinions here, not justifying hate speech or extremism. I know there is a major difference between FOSS and Big Data in terms of treatment of troll behavior (with the latter supporting it because it generates engagement), but it is clearly being misunderstood and abused now.

I even think I'd rather recommend proprietary options to others at this point because of mental health risks. Yes, I know that some major platforms are quite heavily biased politically (with X even being accused in supporting fascism) but it's not as bad as being biased in everything imo.

Can't we finally understand that the modern trends in most cultures praise exclusiveness (often cleverly disguised as distorted inclusiveness which sounds impossible but is actually a case and it hurts people's understanding of the latter) and work against it? Or at least we could do it for the FOSS reputation.

On the positive note though, Mastodon that is probably the biggest FOSS social platform seems to be pretty good (though probably a bit too close to the Big Data in terms of troll treatment). Could it be because of the size?

Collision: a simple checksum utility for GNOME with Nautilus extension support (github.com)
 

I think it's just nice to be able to verify a file with a right click instead of opening the terminal and typing the *sum command. Yes, it is technically bloat, but also good for time saving.

What's the point of removing NVENC support for Kepler? Is there a CVE in old drivers or something?

Intel or AMD CPUs for new Laptops? in c/linux@lemmy.world
[–] GolfNovemberUniform@infosec.pub 1 points 1 week ago

Hmm it could've been that. But also I saw a research paper and Intel won in almost every category there too.

Q: New to linux, is steam os an ok pseudo casual distro? in c/linux@lemmy.world

I installed Debian at least 3 times and don't remember ever seeing that message.

New merged LineageOS change: enable backup service by default for all users (review.lineageos.org)
 

What do you think about this? I'm personally against anything enabled by default, especially if it can cause slowdowns. However I understand the importance of backups so this change makes some sense.

OrgNote: a notes and "second brain" app for Android that is similar to emacs/Org I guess (github.com)

Idk much about emacs but some people love it and probably will find it useful. Also the app seems to require a self-hosted backend so don't check it out if you're poor.

Image Toolbox: a feature-rich image manipulation app for Android (github.com)
 

Many features are still incomplete and barebones but I think it's good to have it installed, especially for those who share and post photos all the time.
