Such a security risk though, but still better than curling scripts into sudo

Would love it if Rockstar created some modding tools themselves. There are third party tools, but not the same as what CD Projekt Red does.

Windows permissions can be tricky… I’ll give them that. A lot of the tools Microsoft provides are not very straightforward.

However, PowerShell and tools from Sysinternals suite, or open source tools as well, make it a lot easier.

Managing permissions on Linux, especially if doing the ACL thing, can be complicated too. I’ve really never ran into many permission issues myself. psexec has been helpful too when needing to access things as the SYSTEM user and not get those stupid prompts asking me to change permissions for protected folders.

Andrew is not very smart. Windows isn’t very good, but he is very clueless. There are legitimate things to complain about, but Andrew just complains.

It means that questioning decisions or problems is seen as negative in the community generally and that everyone else must be wrong for not using NixOS.

As I used to say. The Nix community acts more like a cult of people willing to support flat earth.

And yet Trump still sounded more cognizant even if he was lying.

It was him showing America how much he cares about women’s rights, equality, & democracy. So much he’s willing to put us at a significant risk of losing those things for decades if not longer. God, I can only hope something causes Kamala to become the candidate or he steps aside for someone else.

The US House of Representatives just passed a bill that can make calling Jewish people nazis a hate crime.

I use Hyrpland, and so there are times where I need to use GTK or Qt tools. I generally don’t like KDE-based tools though because they are dependency-heavy.

So does many of the GTK tools though… so, again… why use Qt at all if you want to save memory.

I like some of LXQt tools, but at one point do you decide if you’re going to use Qt… why not just go all out and use KDE?

Why is it that it seems like Gnome seems to be implementing Windows bad practices? The last thing Linux needs is a Windows registry. One of the greatest benefits of Linux IMO is the ability to configure applications in config files… not having to use some custom tool to manage the configuration.

I kept waiting for them to do something like this.

At this point Linux really needs a web tool (like Cockpit) that can show and manage these types of settings regardless of the distribution.

You summed it up better than I ever could. I’d give you lemmy gold if that was a thing.

Great… now if AMD actually cares about virtualization, maybe they can stop limiting virtual GPUs to their enterprise GPUs. Damn monopolies really don’t want to see consumers have full virtualization support for Windows on Linux.

Okay, well it’s just the vulnerabilities you mentioned were geared towards email client issues that among other things would automatically load HTML data upon decryption. Furthermore, primary vulnerable targets were 10 year old email clients at the time that hadn’t received any security updates. The SE data packet issue had been documented even in the spec since at least 2007 about its security issues and recommended rapid mitigation techniques. All in all, the EFAIL documented issues with mail client failures, not with OpenPGP itself.

Second, OpenPGP web-of-trust, or whatever you want to call it (public keyservers) is entirely optional. In fact, Proton relies heavily on this in from what I can tell actually enforces it in a more insecure way, but opting users into their internal keyserver automatically.

It’s quite possible that privacy is too hard for you and trash talking open source makes you feel better about the money you’re paying to someone else to say they’ll do a better job for you.
