macOS can be a bit of a permission hell at times, but I’ll take it over having less control over the privacy and security of my system

XMPP with the OMEMO extension is close, no? While Matrix isn’t distributed, it is decentralised like Lemmy and Mastodon, and E2EE by default. That could be the closest thing to what you mean?
Isn’t installing from the AUR equivalent to installing from a PPA, in terms of security and trust?
How do they make that illegal?
I can’t find much on tech impeding laws online, whatever search terms I enter related to China and privacy just leads me to articles about their data protection law.
(edit: and their 2017 cybersecurity law)
XMPP; an open protocol that can be as basic as IRC or extended to support everything Telegram does and more. Decentralised (since it’s a protocol), and E2EE through OMEMO or by encrypting with PGP client side is something your provider can’t even have control over.
It’s older than ChatGPT, but maybe this is true for their newer articles.
I also feel HowToGeek used to be great, now it’s just affiliations and misinformation. Shame.
could be some guy in China
I don’t see how that’s a problem, it’s not like it’s by a Chinese run company or like the Chinese government is spying on you; in the case you described it’d just be a rando with a hobby/vision.
The fact that it keeps getting hosted in countries that have freedom problems, such as China and Russia, does concern me, though.
I did not mean it like that, at all.
You leave a comment saying these are special and all the others are more or less the same, but don’t explain how that’s the case.
I am genuinely asking.
(also sorry for posting thrice, internet issues)
How are each of those special? And how are others, inc. Gentoo, almost the same?
That’s such a cool backstory, thanks!
They need somehow a way to earn there living expanses ?
Crackers don’t do it for a living lol
They’re normal people with normal, often 9-5, jobs; who just bought a gamr and want to help more people get their hands on that game even through pay walls and region restrictions.
I would if I could!
I will say, there’s something scary about crafting your own medicine, I’d expect medicine to be highly precisely crafted in labs by highly educated professionals and that it’d be difficult and perhaps dangerous to make and take your own medicine. I could be wrong.
The things they write in the article are amazing, people can make their own life savine cure to hepatitis C for about 70 USD for their whole home made treatment, that just works? It seems too good to be true without any caveats.
Oh and, final thought, “Four Thieves Collective”? They really don’t beat around the bush. I like that
Also, sidenote, 8.3MP camera does not mean the outputted image is that large.
I know someone with a smartphone with 108MP single camera, it has a bad lens but compresses the capture into a sharper 2k picture. Most digital (phone) cameras work this way.
But yeah, you don’t see 4k image unless your screen is 4k, as they said.
Sometimes the compression is not great, and 4k compressed on the fly might look visibly sharper then whatever 1080p version they offer. I’ve noticed this with YouTube videos sometimes.
That said, I’ve seen too many tech illiterate people go for 4k video not realising they also need a 4k screen. Or complaining their 4k console doesn’t look 4k, not realising the game also needs to output it
First off, the packages and libraries on the AUR are not scanned, and not all packages and libraries are well tested or maintained there, especially when building from their source yourself instead of relying on their releases. The more you install that way and the more depends on it, the more points in your system are likely to fail.
Your distro’s repos might not have everything and be a bit out of date at times, but they are scanned and usually better tested and maintained. Usually, not always.
To the surprise of no-one!
Not learning and adapting, never admitting they’re wrong when they actually do realise they are wrong.
Managers tend to not like me.
You can also bookmark comments on Lemmy, and copy the comment URL and store that in (synced) browser bookmarks!
Oh, copy the comment text and save it in a text- or markdown-file on your devices, in case it gets taken down! You can even for the text in case you forgot where you kept it!
