Xiaomi devices are a bit annoying to unlock but you should use the official way. I’ve got a xiaomi device and unlocked it. So first you need to be patient maybe it’s not going to work for the first time so try to unlock it and if it doesn’t work just wait a couple of weeks… And you should maybe ask a friend or family member to take their Sim card only to log into a xiaomi account and allow OEM unlocking. You could try an other method but when there is an official way (annoying but official) you should use it, safest and “easiest” way.

That’s not the point here but can you share your wallpaper? 😄

The anti-AI sentiment in the free software communities is concerning. (lemmy.world)

Whenever AI is mentioned lots of people in the Linux space immediately react negatively. Creators like TheLinuxExperiment on YouTube always feel the need to add a disclaimer that “some people think AI is problematic” or something along those lines if an AI topic is discussed. I get that AI has many problems but at the same...

foremanguy92_,

You’re mid right, the when something AI based is announced this is really criticized by some people and there are almost right. When something new pops, like windows recall, it is certain that this “new” feature is really not what AI is capable, and asks really important questions about privacy. But you’re right on the fact that Linux should be a bit more interested on AI and tried to made it the right way! But for now there’s no really good use cases of AI inside a distro. LLMs are good but do not need to be linked to user activities. Image generators are great but do not need to be linked to user activities… As exemple when Windows tried Recall and failed. Apple iOS 18 wants to implement that, and this should be surely a success inside the Apple minded people. But here where FOSS, privacy and anti Big-Techs guys are the main people that’s absolutely sure that every for-profit “new AI” feature would be really hated. I’m not against this mind just giving facts

The principal alternative to Rufus is Balena etchter, but for me it works 1/5 times. But now I’m using Ventoy and… Just use it, it damn fucking good!

foremanguy92_,

HeliBoard but the problem is that you have to download google swipe librairies…

foremanguy92_,

Try to use something like TC (TrackerControl) to restrict the internet connectivity of the app once libraries downloaded.

I'm going to reinstall linux on my computer. What is it like to run something Silverblue based these days ?

I have been using CachyOS for more than 6 months at this point and I’m pretty happy with it. Among the many distros I tried, this is probably my favourite arch based distro. I initially installed it because it offered Hyprland desktop, and I didn’t want to bring over my messy config nor did I want to start from scratch. But...

foremanguy92_,

If your problem seems to be the one I’m thinking about use this answer from askubuntu.com

I just switch to silverblue yesterday and first that seems to be really cool. I’m really a fan of fedora and this immuable one is really nice. But with this particularly you couldn’t use the answer shown above (in fact some devices are authorized to wake up the device so it’s why it auto-reboot), because you could change anything in /usr I’m actually trying to find a way to resolve it but for now I couldn’t find… Tell you more once found! 🤞

foremanguy92_,

They try every year…

foremanguy92_,

Here are the first vote results mepwatch.eu/9/vote.html?v=167712

foremanguy92_,

That’s it, only the green party is “okay”

foremanguy92_,

For sure! The EU will tell to the apps to backdoored their encryption to accept this law. For example Google, Meta and Microsoft are okay with it if it is implemented. And Signal would leave the EU market.

foremanguy92_,

You’re right this world is crazy, they should talk about the right things…

foremanguy92_,

Right 😭

foremanguy92_,

In fact it would be illegal but you wouldn’t take risks by using them. But the authorities could make them shut down one by one

foremanguy92_,

No it’s not implemented but they would implemented this backdoor if the law pass

foremanguy92_,

That would be difficult for sure but in fact it would be illegal

foremanguy92_,

I understand totally but it is better to stop this law as soon as possible

foremanguy92_,

Right 👍

foremanguy92_,

I totally understand and this approval is absolutely ridiculous just because it’s almost impossible apply this… But even with almost 0 chance applying to every apps it’s better to kill this law as soon as possible

foremanguy92_,

Matrix is in fact decentralized, SimpleX too. But Signal is centralized.

foremanguy92_,

That’s right, first try to vote and be listen.

foremanguy92_,

Why it’s not number 1? Because people are using SMS, Messenger and Instagram chats…

foremanguy92_,

In fact it would be “scanned” by AI for searching all the kinda sexual, abusive stuff… In fact to protect children

foremanguy92_,

Signal is great but lack some points, like the requirement of the mobile number or the centralisation of the servers

foremanguy92_, (edited )

That’s sad but try to “afraid” a bit that’s almost the only way to convinced non-privacy guy to switch…

foremanguy92_,

Right sorry

foremanguy92_,

Afraid sorry

foremanguy92_,

That’s why the EU wants to control the chats. They would ask to software producers to backdoor their apps, and Meta Google and Microsoft would be OK with it.

foremanguy92_,

That’s right but the EU wants to break the E2EE encryption for its power

foremanguy92_,

That’s why it’s a scan, like done apple with their gallery. Scan signatures, AI recognition etc…

foremanguy92_,

Read this how it affects you text : www.patrick-breyer.de/en/posts/chat-control/#how-

All of your chat conversations and emails will be automatically searched for suspicious content. Nothing remains confidential or secret. There is no requirement of a court order or an initial suspicion for searching your messages. It occurs always and automatically.

Intelligence services and hackers may be able to spy on your private chats and emails. The door will be open for anyone with the technical means to read your messages if secure encryption is removed in order to be able to screen messages.

foremanguy92_,

Almost everything is better than WhatsApp

foremanguy92_,

I know that the law is almost impossible to apply but first we have to stop it, if they gain the power of reading trough WhatsApp and else, they could ask for more after

foremanguy92_,

They don’t want to forbid the encryption only to backdoor to have a control on it. But that’s almost impossible to backdoor all of them…

foremanguy92_,

Right

foremanguy92_,

Try your best to switch apps, and maybe one day you will succeed

foremanguy92_,

Don’t know exactly but many infos still there, but maybe there are not so important but there are still here
