Shut your racist ass up

Proton is a tool for all Linux distributions, not an OS unto itself. But yeah proton is amazing and makes Linux gaming simple

How usable is a proot distro? I was considering using it for my tablet for some light programming

I don’t see a problem with it unless it’s impeding on how you want to live your life

I wouldn’t say so. People who majored in CS in undergrad frequently go on to be software engineers, but if you’re using the title of computer scientist you’re almost certainly on the scientific/theoretical/mathematic side of the practice.

Lol sure man. Like having 5 grad students who are sleep deprived and hungover maybe, hallucinating bullshit confidently

Usually it’s in the security tab, sometimes it’s under a sub menu with an arcane name like “Windows Settings” or “Boot Configuration”. It’s hard to help without the exact UEFI in front of us

Good morning! Death to “israel”

It shows for me but without animation, my server is federated w ml

In the GrapheneOS development room there’s a lot of talk about finding an OEM to get security partner status from and/or to design a grapheneos specific device. I saw they were tentatively chatting to the CEO of Mecha (currently crowdfunding for a Linux handheld called the comet) as well as another anonymous Android OEM lead. So I’d say be patient, wait and see. I’m confident the project will continue, hopefully with full support for pixels via a partnership but potentially on their own hardware.

IMO it’s not losing your humanity to say that settlers and perpetrators of genocide not only deserve to be fought tooth and nail, but NEED to be, and it should be celebrated when they take hits as it is a step towards decolonization and the end of genocide. If the zionists don’t want to be in harm’s way they can always go home to Brooklyn or wherever and stop occupying. Once the state of “israel” is gone and a secular, just Palestinian state created, then we can talk about reform, reeducation, integration of settlers and their descendants. For now though I have no empathy for anybody there but the children and draft dodgers.

As somebody else mentioned, using a computer and just taking calls there would work and give you solid control over microphone activation etc. If you really want the landline experience, look into adding a USB handset to that setup. It’ll just act like a mic and headphone from your computer but in the classic phone form factor

Professional audits happen for big projects, and hobbyists audit the programs they use frequently. In addition, some projects adhere to the reproducible builds guidelines, which ensures the packages you’re receiving are identical to the upstream repo. There’s more work to be done in formalizing and automating these processes but this isn’t a major issue by any means

Just make sure they know anything they put on these big tech platforms are there forever, regardless of what claims they make about “disappearing messages” etc. Do your best to guide them towards encrypted services for their own protection. As much as I hate this, iPhones are a decent recommendation in the US since almost every young person uses iMessage as the default, and that has end to end encryption available. Work to inform them on the dangers of corporate spying and profiling, as well as data leaks and security, and let them have some sovereignty over their platforms. Keeping an eye on them is good; isolating them from important modern social circles isn’t. Inform and educate first and foremost

You can use proton in an email client, but you have to install their bridge service first. This is the only way I use it personally

I love cold brew for convenience and just to switch up my coffee routine. I can make a week’s worth of coffee in my cold brew jar, with minimal effort or time, and the result is coffee that’s less bitter, smoother, and stronger than most hot brewing methods. I wouldn’t heat up cold brew, the cold coffee experience is part of why I’m making it.

Good

Holy shit that’s just terribly cruel. The proposed bill would also legalize trapping and snaring mountain lions. Just leave these kitties alone man

I wonder if there’s any sort of alternative, community weather system that is run for the public good. I’m envisioning an open source ecosystem where people buy commodity weather instruments (barometers, thermometers, anemometers) and then connect them to a program which feeds them to a larger decentralized network. Then people could make visuals of the conglomerate data to see low pressure and high pressure areas, track storms, etc. If that backbone existed you could also create a distributed computational model like we see in projects like ‘folding from home’ in order to create forecast maps. Just spitballing but if anybody knows of programs that do any part of this I’d love to hear about them

Vaultwarden is perfect imo
