Wayland 1.0 was released in 2012.

Now, 12 years later, it still is not production ready. I lost hopes long ago and rather stick to a security flawed but stable X11.

I am very glad with the proposal of the Frog protocol, as Wayland was dead before it could even walk.

Only because he had no windows

Is this the only point, when it comes to security? In my experience, the ease of use is also a factor. Today, VPN clients are just one button and it runs. I2P is almost there, but requires you to setup some configs manually. So is it really worth to drive a tank to just go grocery shopping?

Tomorrow passwords will be cracked in no time, because most algorithms are not quantum safe. Same with password length.

I never said it is not an attack vector. There are dozens if not hundreds. The question is about the probability, which is always a dimension if you manage risks. There is no need to list all theoretical possible attack vectors, if the probability of actually happening only affects 2 people on this planet.

Videos for educational purposes should not sensationalize unlikely attacks, as it only causes unnecessary fear. I’d rather have someone using torrent on VPN than not using anything at all because they are now afraid of the government.

That’s not what I was talking about?

If someone is actually trying to convict you just based on the correlation of the connection times, you probably don’t just share a copyrighted movie. So why mentioning this as an actual threat in the first place?

I‘ve used Android and iPhones for multiple years. Now I am using an iPhone and I am very happy. Main reasons are build quality and software. It just works. And the main advantage is primarily if you use multiple Apple devices. And since Android phones are expensive as fuck, too, I don’t care about the price anymore

It is not the state. Those are regular professionals.

I partially agree that there should be a possibility to kill yourself in an easy way. But don’t forget that very often, this death wish is the cause of a mental illness, which can be treated.

So with Exit, you need to have been diagnosed by a psychiatrist. So it probably takes some time, and that time has to be obviously paid. After that, a second psychiatrist checks the diagnosis for any errors. And the third actor is going to be a regular doctor, double checking for errors. If all goes well, you get the death cocktail. As things can go wrong with that, you should be accompanied by someone experienced. Exit provides this assistance free of charge, as they use donations and membership fees to pay for that.

I cannot tell you about what diseases are successful. Usually, psychological issues are not enough to get the diagnosis you need. You need to be heavily impacted by it and there has to be no cure.

Must be a US thing

And this was the other song from Hitachi.

There you go, but it was Linspire already: https://piped.video/watch?v=IIYtKHnU4mQ%3Fsi%3DtW7VM1MY1DFBB2BB&t=4

Wait, didn’t they have a super weird/catchy song about Lindows back then? Or am I confusing it with the Perpendicular song, when HDD manufacturers switched to this technology?

Don’t worry, almost everyone did get the joke and it was funny imho.

TIL … thank you very much for clearing that up, very much appreciated! :)

Oh, as with any Linux, all of them are for everything suitable if you have the time to modify everything. I‘d rather use a Linux which is optimized for gaming, e.g. uses Zen kernel, ProtonPlus, Steam with gamescope and gamemode, HDR enabled by default due to the correct DisplayPort drivers, and many other things.

In terms of frames per second, it is probably only slightly better than an unoptimized OpenSUSE

I always was and will be team SUSE, no matter what. With other distros I had bad experiences at some point. Never with SLES or OpenSUSE. Although, currently I have no OpenSUSE installation, as it is not suitable for gaming.

Maybe you should take a break.

We used it as OS for the tank and airplane simulators, just because it made them cheaper compared to buying 500 Windows licenses

Don‘t forget that the copyright law is a civil law, so there needs to be someone being able to proof to have suffered from any damages. Having a law case within a border is usually much cheaper to having one internationally, because every country has a different law system and you need a lot more lawyers, just to then find out there was no damage. So the risk of paying a lot of law fees without getting any damages covered is just too high. Obviously, it makes sense that big studios will try to hunt down big trackers, but I think even with my 25/25Gbit I am far away of being an interesting target, especially on an international level. At least this is how my view on this is.
