Snowden’s leaks are a big reason why I got into politics and FOSS and a big reason why I’m a socialist today.

Just install the NewPipe flatpak and replace the apk with whatever.

AntiX runs great on my late 90s Celeron rig with a 1.2GHz single core socket 370 Celeron with 256MB RAM.

Runs waaaaaay better than Windows XP and slightly slower than Windows 98 SE.

The place to get snaps is proprietary and exclusive.

I’d go back a few million years whenever fish decided to crawl onto land and yeet them back into the ocean.

The ending definitely made my jaw drop for an extended period of time.

It’s also just a beautiful movie

Difficult to pick one, but Annihilation is up there.

I don’t believe you.

btw i use nano

Are you familiar with QubesOS? It has a similar security model to the Xbox consoles.

Basically, the host OS only exists to run VMs, which includes separate VMs for networking, USB devices, applications, etc. With QubesOS, you can also pass through something like a GPU for use in a dedicated gaming VM (although you can do that on any Linux distro).

Seems like that’s a Windows issue and not Xbox. There was a recently released kernel exploit for Xbox, but it’s sandboxed to the SystemOS.

If you want to pwn the Xbox OS entirely, you would need a hypervisor escape exploit, which is very difficult to accomplish.

There is nothing Microsoft I would consider “top tier” when it comes to security.

Counterpoint: Xbox consoles. They just stick everything inside of VMs a la QubesOS

Absolutely. The Steam Deck is a gaming PC, but handheld. The iGPU in the Deck is approximately equivilent to an RX 580, for reference.

Macaroni because I have an unhealthy obsession with cheese.

I’ve been using NixOS for about 3 years. Probably going to switch back to Arch, though.

Originally, yes. It was made to help people in countries with censorship get around censorship.

Nowadays it’s maintained by the Tor Project.

Well it wasn’t made by the US Navy, it doesn’t allow for clearnet traffic, it allows torrenting over the protocol. I’m sure there are other differences too.

It’s like Tor, but different.

GNOME is the Apple of the FOSS world
