yum13241,

DEFEDERATE, PLEASE! Now Meta has the highest presence in the Fediverse, and they can do whatever they want to it.

yum13241,

They’ll enable it for everyone soon. Meta will force the Fediverse its way, for $$$. Why else do you think they want to be in the Fediverse so badly?

Mark my words.

yum13241,

And Meta just disconnected FB and Instagram from each other citing the DMA. Meta will stop at nothing to trap users in their platforms.

yum13241,

Yes. Don’t be that one teacher who always has one multiple choice question that has no right answer.

yum13241,

Kdenlive’s pretty good.

yum13241,

Not until I can have my pretty screensavers. Yes, I care. When my laptops are on battery they don’t need to S3 sleep, nor s0idle. They just show pretty animations that prompt for a password and let me in, without waiting ten years for it to wake up from its slumber

yum13241,

Secure Boot is an utter piece of bullshit from the depths of hell.

yum13241,

Secure Boot is just Bootloader Signature Enforcement controlled by M$, it’s not gonna prevent Superfish 2.0 from happening.

Unfortunately, I don’t have a coreboot-able system. When I move out I’ll make that a priority.

yum13241,

I never bought my current machines. Funnily enough, they don’t show any logos on bootup, (Windows Boot Manager is smth else)

yum13241,

Yes, IK WBM is not the problem here. My systems don’t show a logo at all, and they don’t have a “hide logo” options.

yum13241,

No, and trying to use a pure BIOS system these days is a headache.

You can always just reflash your firmware from a trusted OS via FWUPD.

yum13241,

Yes.

yum13241,

That’s called CSM, and Intel removed it in late 2020. I’m not sure if AMD still has it, but they still have S3 sleep afaik. Go Team Red for your next buy, I am too.

yum13241,

Mine only switches modes once, on load save backlight.

yum13241,

My HP crapbook doesn’t have this OEM logo bullshit. Only the windows bootloader shows it, and the logo file is stored in the BGRT. So I don’t think I’m affected unless the WBM or systemd-boot have this vuln.

Mine:


<span style="color:#323232;">1. Screen turns on
</span><span style="color:#323232;">2. I pick EndeavorOS in systemd-boot
</span><span style="color:#323232;">3. It starts spitting out logs (I love this behavior)
</span><span style="color:#323232;">4. It switches modes once the backlight is loaded
</span><span style="color:#323232;">5. I log in
</span><span style="color:#323232;">6. KDE loads
</span>

I will never understand people who install Plymouth, it just adds complexity in the boot process. If your distro installs this then I understand why: so it doesn’t look like you’re “hacking the government”. If your distro doesn’t install it and you install it then you probably picked the wrong distro.

What distro would you recommend for a 32-bit old Acer One laptop? (kbin.social)

It's an old model (Acer One D257) Processor is Intel Atom. Memory is 1GB DDR3 with 320 GB of HDD. I currently Have MX 21 running on it, but I need to reinstall because I forgot the root password. Since I'm reinstalling the OS, I thought I'd ask here for recommendations for an OS that makes the most of this oldie.

yum13241,

Arch Linux 32.

yum13241,

manjarno.pages.dev

Basically, the Manjaro team has no idea what they’re doing.

The ManjarNO sheep can fuck off to Reddit for all I care.

yum13241,

The funny thing is, there was this guy on YouTube who did the exact same thing, before Bing AI did. SunnyV2 made a video about it.

Xenia wouldn't suggest that :c (lemmy.world)

please don’t harrass or insult that website, but I recently browsed that website because I wanted to get a wallpaper, but then I realized the top bar was saying “Xenia suggests you get Firefox”, wait what?? She wouldn’t suggest that first of all, second, this means that the website knows if you are using Google or...

yum13241,

I know of one Fox, and he is Fox McCloud.

yum13241,

Oof. You uninstalled Mesa’s AMD config because a troll on the internet tried to partial upgrade your system. You’re kinda fucked.

yum13241,

Now it’s trying to either partial upgrade OR delete your desktop. Your system is fucked.

yum13241,

I’d say yes, but don’t change your GRUB theme right before a presentation.

Maybe openSUSE would be a better pick.

yum13241,

Shift alt tab exists, lol

yum13241,

It isn’t.

yum13241,

Tumbleweed is great, but I prefer EndeavorOS myself.

yum13241,
  1. Stop supporting genocide (Starbucks supports Israel)
  2. EndeavorOS ain’t CBT.
yum13241,

Because the amount of software it has available can’t hold a candle to arch. It’s not bad though, and if arch disappeared I’d switch to Tumbleweed.

I use EndeavorOS btw

yum13241,

I’m in favor. KDE’s workflow is more familiar to everyone.

yum13241,

Yes.

yum13241,

You can choose the DE on install.

yum13241,

To make it worse, newer Intel CPUs can’t even enter S3 state.

yum13241,

Apparently S3 is “less secure” according to FWUPD. Fuck sleep to idle. I hope it dies and S3 (sleep to RAM) makes an epic comeback.

yum13241,

Fastboot has nothing to do with this.

yum13241,

Go Team Red next time. They still support S3, and probably CSM too.

yum13241,

Add screensavers or take X11 out of my cold, dead hands. I don’t use a CRT but still like screensaver since it prevents me from having to wait 5 years for my screen to turn on.

yum13241,

Wdym AOC

yum13241,

Nah. I’m using the built in monitor on my craptop.

yum13241,

Or Tiny11, which you can build.

yum13241,

Uhh, Tiny11?

yum13241,

Often times it doesn’t install or they insist on using free software (read: free as in free speech)

Understanding init freedom?

I’m planning to move over to Guix over NixOS, as soon as my current situation improves and possibly import a new libre respecting laptop (Star Labs is thankfully available in India). I do have a very old laptop with a Celeron processor and 4GB of RAM with Guix installed already, and what has come to my attention is that it...

yum13241,

Systemd is what most programs and systems have come to expect, and you shouldn’t bother changing your init system unless you have a VERY GOOD REASON.

Some people hate it for not following the unix philosophy of doing one thing and doing it well, but at this point nothing does except stuff like cat.

yum13241,

Your freedoms end where mine start. It’s as simple as that.

yum13241,

Please don’t use Oh-My-ZSH. Just manually get the .zsh files instead.

And fish is bloat and doesn’t run your scripts.

yum13241,

I don’t see why you would, but you can with ExplorerPatcher.

yum13241,

Because it might be too much legacy cruft to maintain?

yum13241,

Ask if they’ll let you install ExplorerPatcher in the meantime.

yum13241,

I used Manjaro and my wifi adapter would shit itself every update.

I find it hard to recommend a distro that’s so anecdotal. Garuda uses mhwd as well.

yum13241,

Because Manjaro fucks with the repos, making the AUR poisonous to your system.
