Well, I am cis, but I’ve been to a community or two that seem to be under impression that one dream = mtf (but not ftm for some reason), so I guess that must mean…

New yorkers in the 1900s != sensible

I didn’t mean “in relation to the Chinese government” when I mentioned “Chinese surveillance”, I meant “surveillance of Chinese origin”. If you check ad and tracking blocklists, by far most popular ones are either in the US or China. For me that’s equally as bad as government sponsored. Although “government sponsored” usually implies “of big(ger) scale”, it’s not necessary.

There are more than just 5 eyes.

I am going to refrain from arguing, for I have taken note of your instance being “lemmy.ml”. As much as I hate discriminating by instance, I have to do what I have to do.

Define “work”

Yet Chinese surveillance is surveilling everyone else.

I am not talking about the git provider, I am talking about “Linux project”. I know we are kind of on “@[email protected]”, but how many tools you use do you think are truly Linux specific? Even some long time linuxisms like libinput and DRM have been ported over to BSDs for example.

“snap”? You mean, Snapcraft, the most evil of software?

Sheet thin bendable plastic like that is difficult to break without tools. Especially while you are in progress of drinking from it. I was referring to glass shards going into people if it wasn’t clear. There’s already plastics in people (for various reasons, not just straws), not much to loose there.

From Wiktionary:

1. (colloquial, sometimes derogatory) Homosexual. [from 19th c.]
2. (colloquial, sometimes derogatory) Non-heterosexual or non-cisgender: homosexual, bisexual, asexual, transgender, etc.
3. (loosely) Pertaining to sexual or gender behaviour or identity which does not conform to conventional heterosexual or cisgender norms, assumptions etc. [from 20th c.]
4. (dated) Strange, odd or different; whimsical. [from 16th c.]
   (…)

It is already inclusive.

Why would you assume I am German? Also, the person you were thinking of is from Austria.

Sooooo this is implying trans != queer? lol

Completely unrelated but I misread your instance name as “redhat.com” at first

Glass is glass and glass breaks. Win win for overpopulation, though.

Been on this post before but just noticed you mentioned “Linux project” as if everything open source (or even source available) is Linux. Quite the ignorance…

That’s kind of the point of git

Again, you seem to be missing the point. Nobody would be “removing permissions with xyz tool”. People are told something is safe, therefore it must be safe. If it’s not then it’s not. And again with PGP, one example how a “simple user” could have PGP keys is if they use PGP email at work. Management != tech people, so container must equal safe in ooga booga brains. Keys get stolen because of supply chain (remember that library updates are separate and slower for flatpak). Container must equal safe, so everyone disregards what was written about XYZ program and the one to blame becomes the simple office worker*, another victim of capitalism*. Or the IT guy. My point is, marketing wrong.

click the red “medium risk”

Literally how the fuck was I, or let alone “a simple user”, is supposed to know that? “Intuitive, uncluttered UI” my ass. Also “The software developer has verified their identity, which makes the app more likely to be safe” ??? How Android wannabe (without actually being anything like Android) do they want to be???

not a problem of flathub

The problem of flathub is the illusion of safety.

Textbook example ass conversation

FlatHub website

Where? I don’t see it here. Can click on the “manifest” but nobody will be reading all of that. Tried Tor Browser to rule out extensions. Maybe it’s actually communicating with the desktop client in some way which I don’t have?

Also, a backdoor in this particular program can steal your PGP keys. Some clueless guy who added it to GitHub for a tutorial may have some issues if it’s not password protected. It’s in no way like Android where “OpenKeychain” were forced to define a protocol and now reading a key prompts the user.

Oh, and one of the few dozen local privilege escalations found by AI in the mountains of trash of our great kernel completely negate all of this. It has to be AI because no human nowadays is doing all of that anymore. And enslaving humans to pick out code 24/7 isn’t legal anymore anywhere, ya know.

The browser is loosing millions of users that have not opted out of the user estimate ping, including by using forks that have it off by default*

EDIT: it’s not even that, it’s “statcounter”, that’s tracking being blocked lmaooo
