I read the purple one on the dog’s brain as “DOG” and honestly I think it could be an improvement.

They can lie about how the advanced data encryption works…. But then they also tell you that you’re shit outta luck if you forget or screw up your decryption code. If they really had a back door, then I would expect them to take a much less hard line on you’re screwed if you lose the key.

I would be surprised if they had a back door too given how they’ve pushed back on back doors from the NSA and EU

Also the hardware support is not great, for example the webcam. I installed Linux on my old MBP but it was a hassle to get the webcam working involving some dubious command line entries with sudo

I was able to install Linux on my 2015 MBP, but weird stuff didn’t work OOTB like the webcam and while I eventually got it working, it was less than polished because it was all reverse engineered workarounds by the Linux gods who managed to figure out the exact commands that were needed to be run.

This feels a lot like the argument of well what if they break TLS? A lot of hypotheticals when I don’t have any reason or proof to believe that they’ve made a back door

A new preferences dialog has been added to Software Manager that has, among other options, a toggle to show unverified Flatpaks — but the distro makes clear this is “not recommended”

This is genuinely good art, I would buy this if it were on canvas

Technically, this numbering scheme conforms with semantic versioning where

1.9.0 -> 1.10.0 -> 1.11.0

Ahhhh why not anything in /tmp or better ${TMPDIR:-/tmp} or best mktemp

Wow, 1993 to 2024, not a bad first-class support lifetime.

So should ext3 be deprecated for the same reason? Seems it also has the 2038 problem.

Same here lol, just read through ext{2…4} as well as Btrfs and Bcachefs (and B Trees of course). What a wonderful unplanned deep dive.

You could at least put the command in a spoiler or add a /s to make sure some random new user doesn’t follow the advice

Not regular Fedora, though, it was only in Fedora Rawhide and Fedora 41, so very very early, bleeding edge distributions. Nothing that a regular Fedora user would be using.

E: and Fedora 40 beta which some regular users could conceivably be using

I think you’re absolutely right… perhaps something with the effect of lighter compared to the rest = open vs darker compared to the rest = closed.

I think it’s also magnified by the fact that we’re comparing to the full color one on the right which has the lighter color for (in my perception) open eyes.

Not something that you asked, but please remember that most of the distribution managers know FAR more about the system than you do. If at all possible, be sure to follow the recommendations at DontBreakDebian (adapted to your system of course), to make sure you have a stable system.

That means things like avoiding whenever possible installing from random sources or changing settings that you don’t really understand. Whatever you do, don’t try to change anything about the kernel, graphics drivers, or standard libraries / shared packages unless you’re absolutely certain you know what you’re doing.

When the old school RuneScape wiki moved to a self hosted solution it was night and day the quality difference. I’d argue that OSRS (and probably regular RS) have some of the best wikis in gaming.
