Does this exist?? Messaging platform with a panic button from any member.

Basically I am looking for a messaging platform like signal or? but with anonymous signup, perfect forward secrecy, capable of video chat, sending photos the usual uses in today’s life. But with a panic button. So that any party member could use said button to wipe all other members devices of any data instantly inside the...

cyclohexane,

Are there matrix clients that do this? Only fetch messages from server when needed and not store locally?

Next smartphone I buy, which one do you recommend?

Things that make me angry about my current smartphone Samsung Galaxy S21Ultra on a Verizon plan is the mandatory software updates in which they install WITHOUT MY PERMISSION stupid apps like Netflix and addictive gambling games and stacking block games and Candy crush. God knows what else they install without my permission. I...

cyclohexane,

It is not privacy minded unfortunately. No major smartphone brand has privacy.

cyclohexane,

Wouldn’t that be a less sustainable use of land?

I guess maybe not if we are talking tall building, where the roof surface area may not be sufficient for the entire building. But it would be a waste not to make use of all the unused rooftops

cyclohexane,

They seem to be the only product that occupies negligible space and is relatively affordable.

The other options are either more expensive or significantly larger.

cyclohexane,

Thanks a lot! What does DTS mean?

cyclohexane,

While true, apple remains the bigger hurdle here. They don’t seem even willing to cooperate.

cyclohexane,

I’m a middle essterner and I couldn’t continue reading your post but it’s nothing I’ve ever heard of.

What are the recommended scripting languages for complex shell scripts beyond bash?

I’ve been struggling with a rather complex shell script, and it’s becoming apparent that Bash might not be the best choice for this particular task. While I usually gravitate towards statically typed languages like Go or Rust, I’ve noticed that many people recommend alternative languages such as Lua or Python for scripting...

cyclohexane,

I love Raku (formerly perl 6) for this purpose as well.

cyclohexane,

I use podman, even when I started out. But I am a tinkerer. I think for the average beginner, docker will be easier as so much out there assumes you are using Docker only, and hard codes it. Unless you wanna deal with that, use Docker.

cyclohexane,

I checked the logs by running bottles from terminal (is that what you meant?)

I didn’t see anything out or the ordinary.

I mentioned gentoo but I think it shouldn’t matter as I installed bottles using flatpak, so I assume it should have everything it needs. But gentoo does install a very minimal base OS.

cyclohexane,

I don’t think this should have to do with it, as I run the game outside of steam in bottles. I am running a GOG copy.

cyclohexane,

It works even if steam is installed through my system package manager rather than flatpak, which I find even more puzzling.

I suppose steam is installing something alongside it that bottles is using. Can’t figure out what it is.

cyclohexane,

That’s a good idea. Is there a way to make that as easy to use as Chromecast? Currently I operate Chromecast using its remote and just play something. I can use the remote or my phone to pause or rewind. Can I do something similar using my PC, without having to reach for the keyboard?

What got you into coding ? (aside from money)

To give some context, I’m a developer myself and once I had a conversation with someone who has not “tasted” programming, but was wondering about passion and career. I was asked what I like about programming. My answer was that my interest in it came from writing small scripts when I was young to automate things....

cyclohexane,

I studied chemical engineering in university, but I realized it wasn’t what I hoped.

What I hoped: sitting at a desk, drawing schematics, crunching numbers, designing chemical plants, coming up with smart ideas, etc.

What it actually was: walking around a chemical plant or factory and managing plant operators (they knew way more than I did).

It turns out programming is exactly what I hoped from chemical engineering. I love solving problems from the comfort of a desk.

Math was always my favorite subject in school, and it seems programming is a type of applied maths.

What's the difference between package manager and why are there so many?

Are they so different that it’s justified to have so many different distributions? So far I guess that different package manager are the reason that divides the linux community. One may be on KDE and one on GNOME but they can use each other’s packages but usually you are bound to one manager

cyclohexane,

Some package managers do have differences that justify a separate project (nix, gentoo’s portage, etc).

For others, sometimes package managers are very similar feature-wise. But some developers would rather remake the thing because they would understand their code a lot better than someone else’s. Or because it would be far easier for them to customize rather than extend another project.

Imo it is developer laziness. Being able to use other people’s work is a valuable skill. But then again, this is open source, and people are free to develop the software they want the way they want.

cyclohexane,

There are still a lot of gun homocides. Mass shootings are only part of the story.

cyclohexane,

Who’s willing to scale it up? China probably

cyclohexane,

I prefer PeerTube

cyclohexane,

I find odysee having the same issue, but I agree with you.

cyclohexane,

This is like the 3rd time they say that. Will they bomb the humanitarian aid trucks and corridors again?

It’s quite evident that Israel’s goal is the eradication of Palestinians, yet people out there believe it is the opposite.

cyclohexane,

Update: Israel violated the deal… Again.

cyclohexane,

If you like Twitter before elon musk, bluesky is the same. I didn’t like Twitter even before elon musk. It’s pretty dystopian.

Who here uses a less popular Linux distribution? What made you choose it?

Hey fellow Linux enthusiasts! I’m curious to know if any of you use a less popular, obscure or exotic Linux distribution. What motivated you to choose that distribution over the more mainstream ones? I’d love to hear about your experiences and any unique features or benefits that drew you to your chosen distribution.

cyclohexane,

Does Gentoo count?

It’s not that unpopular. I chose it because it is very powerful. It really makes use of every Linux power there is. It makes solving problems yourself much easier, and customization is big.

cyclohexane,

Do you mean in programming? Because this is talking about immutable Linux distributions.

cyclohexane,

I’m trying!

cyclohexane,

Overspiced? Not really.

cyclohexane,

That’s my people!

cyclohexane, (edited )

Nothing against people who prefer meat substitutes. But I do think they should be brave and just abandon meat altogether. If you keep relying on meat substitutes, you haven’t let go of meat entirely, I found it easy to get back to meat eating.

cyclohexane,

It’s a meme

cyclohexane,

Keep it civil please.

cyclohexane, (edited )

Sorry but that’s a ban. I’ll make it a temp ban this time, but please don’t do this again or I’ll have to make it permanent.

cyclohexane,

I haven’t read the last couple of updates, but when I did read their privacy policy at one point, it said they hold the rights to do whatever they wanted with all your message history or sell them. Not good imo.

cyclohexane,

I hate capitalist economics, but the ease of obtaining student loans is one of the reasons for the high price of college tuition.

If student loans didn’t exist, then most people would not be paying outrageous tuitions. Colleges will be forced to accomodate.

cyclohexane,

There’s no such thing as capitalism without a state. It cannot exist.

cyclohexane,

I can agree that it lies with the state, but that doesn’t absolve capitalism. It’s the capitalist state, and we shouldn’t separate the two.

cyclohexane,

By supporting the status quo, you are supporting the murder of civilians involved in said status quo. No worries though, its not surprising from westerners. Been doing it for centuries now.

cyclohexane,

Did I say I support the status quo? No, I did not.

You have opposed any change to the status quo. What else would that make you?

I’d say the same damn thing if I ever found out that people who lived under the holocaust harmed random people in the streets of Germany.

The resistance against Nazi Germany actually had far far more civilian casualties than Palestine’s resistance against Israel, despite the fact that the Palestinian cause has been ongoing for way longer. Did you really not know this? I must be misunderstanding you, or maybe you misspoke. I thought they teach about this extensively in the US

cyclohexane,

Israel is by its own definition the Zionist state founded on religious exclusivism. An ethnocentric state in a land inhabited by other religions and ethnicities. It should absolutely be taken down.

religious war

Israel is not Judaism.

cyclohexane,

as I already said above, it is because it is an ethnoreligious state that excludes people of other ethnicities (Arabs, Africans, etc) and other religions (Muslims, Christians, etc). It has engaged in massacre and forced expulsion of those people, so it must be taken down and the genocide must cease.

cyclohexane,

No it is not their business to genocide ethnic and religious minorities lmao. Would you say the same about the Nazis too? was the US justified in genociding native americans also? ridiculous.

Forced expulsion is dtill inside their own country

yes it is. I hope you dont mean that this makes it better. I may be failing to understand this genocide sympathizer logic.

So you take them down with a genocide yourself?

No. The only one committing genocide at the moment and in this conflict is Israel itself.
