“Mankind knew that they cannot change society. So, instead of reflecting on themselves, they blamed the beasts.”

yetAnotherUser,

I guess (almost) everyone here wants to recommend their own distro

yetAnotherUser,

Let’s have a minute of silence for all the people who have died from death ✊😔

Is linux good for someone tech illererate.

Now i’ve been considering moving to linux. I don’t have much of a history using a computer and find it tougher to use than my phone. But I also really appreciate the foss movement. I’ve currently got an old laptop running windows 11 I think and it would prolly speed up with linux too. But I’m afraid I’d fuck smth up...

yetAnotherUser,

I haven’t seen anyone mentioning this yet, so I will: if you’re looking for the most accessible way to use Linux, nothing beats Endless OS. It’s a Linux distribution that is built specifically with ease of use and offline usage in mind (if you don’t know what a “distribution” is, feel free to ask). It’s pretty different from Windows (the user interface is nothing alike, you should download every program/app from the App Center instead of downloading from your browser), but I think you’d get the gist of it quickly.

Now, whether you would want to change to Linux or not greatly depends on what you use your computer for. If you use your computer mostly for browsing the Internet and making Word documents, then I think you should change. If you play videogames on your computer, but mostly via Steam, then Linux won’t be bad. But if your work depends on something like Adobe Photoshop and you really aren’t available to using any other program, then you would not want tochange to Linux, because Photoshop isn’t compatible with it.

TL;DR: Have a look at Endless OS; and please share what you use your computer for / what devices other than a normal keyboard and mouse you normally connect to your computer, so we can help you determine whether you should just switch to Linux or not.

yetAnotherUser,

Yes, you just have to change a file, apt update and you’re good to go. wiki.debian.org/SourcesList#Using__a_text_editor (you probably want to add contrib, non-free and non-free-firmware)

yetAnotherUser,

Wait, you cover your hand with a mask when you’re using one? Have I been using masks the wrong way all this time?? 🤯

yetAnotherUser,

Someone should put this on the Cool Guides community.

Imagine posting this video on an alt right website and spreading it as if it were real

yetAnotherUser,

Is this meme format original?

yetAnotherUser,

That’s a pretty funny name, but it actually stands for Super Mario Glitchy 4, because it’s the name of a YouTube that started with videos on SM64 glitches, but is currently about funny Mario animations

yetAnotherUser,

GitHub uses Git, and you don’t need any cool interface for Git, just a terminal. But we don’t like terminals, they’re ugly! Issues, pull requests, projects, wikis, actions… thanks to code management.

This guy doesn’t git.

yetAnotherUser,

I’ve heard that OnlyOffice Community Edition is Linux-compatible and has better support for Word documents, but I’ve never tried it myself

yetAnotherUser,

I love memes where Sonic gives advice regarding basic rights.

yetAnotherUser,

Goddamn, I really need to start reading this comic, don’t I?

yetAnotherUser,

That’s a pretty interesting theory

yetAnotherUser,

Let’s talk then. Favourite distro?

yetAnotherUser,

Not only did the “gif” I made become an mp4 on imgur

That is because the GIF format isn’t optimised for video, meaning it takes up way more space than an mp4.

yetAnotherUser,

I’m getting a bit tired of seeing this meme get reposted over and over and over and over again.

yetAnotherUser,

I don’t recognize the guy from the fetch image, who is he?

yetAnotherUser,

Why do you consider not reading comments an improvement? Just asking because I’m curious.

yetAnotherUser,

I’ve tried finding out how you package an electron app, but I didn’t find any step where you could put a command line option like that.

Tldr Marxists believe in a classless, moneyless and stateless society bc they think that would be utopia an objectively morally superior system of government

Thanks for the correction @sharkfucker420

yetAnotherUser,

Thanks, I didn’t know

yetAnotherUser,

Wait, there’s a Brazilian 196 community?

yetAnotherUser,

It’s a compression and decompression program. If you’ve ever heard of the ZIP file format, then this program basically opens and creates ZIP files (and other files in similar formats, such as RAR).

yetAnotherUser,

Now I see why Disney’s version of Pooh only eats honey…

yetAnotherUser,

Pro life tip to y’all out there: when you’re feeling down, talk to a friend about it! You don’t even need to explain to them why you’re sad if you don’t want to! You can just say “I really don’t want to elaborate on why, but I’m sad rn”

Some of you might be asking yourselves “But why would I talk to a friend about it if they can’t help me/I don’t want to bother them?” Well, for a myriad of reasons, really:

  1. Even if your friends can’t help you at all, it feels really good to know that someone is cheering for you, and talking to them is the perfect way of reminding yourself of that. As you’re overcoming hard times, you need that feeling to keep motivated.
  2. Venting also feels good, even with strangers. Is it because it forces you to put your feelings into words, making you think about your problems in another light? Is it because it feels good to just complain about your problems? I don’t know, but it sure helps.
  3. If you don’t want to say anything so to not bother your friends, I think you should want to bother them. If something was wrong with one of your friends, wouldn’t you want for them to tell it to you? Friends like to worry for the wellbeing of each other, so let them worry with you.

It sucks being sad, but it’s much preferable to be sad with the support of others than to be sad and alone. And I know it’s not easy to share your feelings with others, but what do you have to lose?

I hope this advice has been helpful to someone.

yetAnotherUser,

Nice vid, but why is it seven minutes? And why is it hosted on archive.org?

Horses are really cool, but I personally prefer ducks.

Unbothered. Moisturized. Happy. In My Lane. Focused. Flourishing.

I wonder why Miku has Danganronpa blood on her mouth…

Didn’t expect a Super Sentai related post here

End-to-end encryption is the best possible safeguard against Meta snooping on your data.

This has always been my biggest pet peeve with WhatsApp. Yes, they might encrypt it all and the encryption might be practically unbreakable, but what worries me is what Meta might do with the private encryption keys. Lem me elaborate further.

I’ll start by trying to explain how key-based encryption, the type of encryption WhatsApp uses, work at their core, for those who don’t know (THIS IS GOING TO BE AN OVERSIMPLIFICATION). Imagine you want a friend to send you a message with super sensitive contents. Here’s what you do to guarantee that no one else can read it but you:

  • First, you generate two keys, which are pretty much two really big numbers. One will be called the public key and the other one will be the private key.
  • Then, you go to the person who wants to send you stuff and say “Hey John, remember that really important message you wanted to send me? Take my public key and make sure you cypher your message using it”.
  • Once you receive the message, you decypher it using the private key. Using the private key is the only way you can read this message. You can’t use the public key for it because it won’t work.

This means that, if someone else manages to get the encrypted message, they will need the private key to read what it says, but they don’t have it, only you have it. The only thing they can do keep guessing what that key is until they find what it was and read the message, but that can take up to millions of years, even using supercomputers.

As you can see, this works really well for sending messages without anyone but the sender and the reciever knowing what is being said, and that’s why it’s so used in encrypted message apps…

…but what if Meta has access to the private keys? I mean, what if, after WhatsApp creating the public and private keys for messaging, the private key is retrieved and stored in Meta’s servers, making them able to read all the messages you receive?

Can someone with more experience in the subject say if my concerns are valid?

yetAnotherUser,

I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have done it :(

yetAnotherUser,

Really? I confess I didn’t know!
