Petter1, in Alpine Linux is just Busybox in a Linux Distro trenchcoat

Was this post written on pinePhone running PmOS?

thantik,

No, but this one was - on SailfishOS

Veneroso, in Accurate?

Okay what is the Tux Jigsaw Puzzle one?

Also Gentoo?

CCF_100,

Tux Jigsaw is “Linux from Scratch.” It’s not really a distro, but rather a guide that walks you through configuring an entire Linux distro from the ground up.

Gentoo is a distro focused on compiling pretty much everything from source locally.

AngryPancake,

Linux from scratch, a subdivision of really having nothing else to do

Veneroso,

Thanks for clarifying

thejodie,

Wait, I thought LFS was long dead (as a project). Maybe I’m thinking of DSL though. Off to teh googles…

aberrate_junior_beatnik,

DSL

What is this? I’m going to be lazy and not search for it because DSL already has multiple meanings which overlap with Linux

thejodie,

Damn Small Linux, and DSL is dead. LFS lives on though.

balancedchaos,

Yeah, honestly you can replace Arch with Gentoo. Arch is for when you don’t have a life for an afternoon or two while you’re getting set up. After that it’s smooth.

Veneroso, (edited )

The Gentoo forums were a great help when I mained Gentoo. It’s been years, needed windows to play WoW to avoid the bans at the time.

Anyway yeah it was fun trying to figure out why it broke or what portage dependency blew up.

BigDanishGuy, in the main differences!!

Gnome = KDE = bloat

I don’t care about a modern feel, I need to not care about learning new interfaces. Xfce is fine for me.

Kanda,

Xfce is bloat, just use the tty

owenfromcanada,
@owenfromcanada@lemmy.world avatar

TTY is bloat, just use two buttons to input ones and zeros.

BigDanishGuy,

Sometimes I actually do prefer to just SSH in to a tmux session.

That’s nothing. My laptop regularly reaches 100C doing basic gaming lol.

StephniBefni, in Accurate?

I do like privacy, but I also have a VR headset so ¯_(ツ)_/¯ windows it is

gmtom,

I do like privacy, but I’m lazy.

doctorcrimson,

Yeah, honestly, when Windows packaged Telemetry data collection it was a controversy but people quickly found out how to disable it.

@Darken@reddthat.com avatar

Until windows decides to turn it back on after you click ok or have clicked ok on a 80238 pages privacy agreement stating that if u breathe then you accept to reenable all the stuff you disabled

While this is just a meme, I heard of it happening somewhere so I’m not sure if it’s just a meme

StephniBefni,

Yeah I have all my tracking disabled

sfgifz,

While this is just a meme, I heard of it happening somewhere so I’m not sure if it’s just a meme

Linux was actually created by sentient AI so that when the day comes they can control all computers with bash scripts instead of those pesky GUIs.

ultra,

I’ve seen this happen on multiple PCs and laptops.

helpmyusernamewontfi,

not sure why this is getting downvoted, this has happened before and even happens on Apple devices where they just re-enable privacy settings you disabled or whatever else the fuck they want like, idk, bluetooth.

also Microsoft “may” block you from updating your system if its unable to reinstall edge like holy shite

Note for Windows users who uninstalled system apps using previous version If you used privacy.sexy (v0.12.6 or v0.12.7) to delete system apps, please follow these steps to avoid potential issues with Windows Updates: Open Command Prompt (Start Menu ➜ type “cmd” ➜ select “Command Prompt”). Copy and paste the following command: PowerShell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Command “Remove-Item -Path ‘HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Appx\AppxAllUserStore\EndOfLife*’ -Force -Verbose” Press Enter. This action ensures that there are no side effects related to Windows Updates, since Microsoft may block updates if it is unable to reinstall Edge.

That explains why I can’t update Windows, then.

heyoni,

Apple reenabled what settings?

helpmyusernamewontfi,

“Significant Locations” and “iPhone Analytics”

also like I said Apple devices likes to randomly re-enable bluetooth or other system settings for some reason

techradar.com/…/ios-17-is-resetting-some-users-pr…

not the first time they did something anti-consumer via a system update

www.ifixit.com/News/9472/ios-update-slows-iphone

this is why I hate both Microsoft and Apple

heyoni, (edited )

The last article I get but the analytics being reenabled was a bug right? I say this as someone who has done every manner of transfer, upgrade and OS update possible on all manner of Apple devices…my settings have never been changed.

One thing they did do recently maybe is flip the checkboxes for analytics to be automatically enabled when they’ve had it opt in for like a decade. Definitely not happy about that.

Bluetooth and WiFi never turns back on unless you’re doing it from the control center…in which case it doesn’t really turn off so much as disconnect you from your current AP and put Bluetooth in low energy mode.

If I’m wrong I want to know. I recently went nuclear on Microsoft’s privacy team for constantly emailing me promotions despite being unsubscribed to everything. I’m on a list now where even if I do sign up for a newsletter, I won’t receive it lol.

/edit Jesus what the fuck. My settings got reset! Thanks for the heads up…wtf is this shit??

helpmyusernamewontfi,

Interesting. still annoying tho especially with the whole Flipper Zero shenanigans.

ehhh? I have no idea how a bug like that happens, it could be my paranoia watching these huge companies play with their consumers that way to not believe it was a bug, but if you read the whole article that “bug” didn’t happen to everyone’s iPhone and Apple responded saying they were “investigating” the issue but never really commented on it afterwards.

is that even legal??

heyoni,

is that even legal??

I have no idea but the whole experience was so surreal…while navigating the myriad of places it might be I noticed that clicking certain links would automatically sign you up for new services and newsletters. I should blog about it.

That’s what makes me think it was a bug. So I did have analytics and significant locations turned on but the latter is encrypted and sent to Apple but cannot be used by them, only by your device. The analytics though I’m sure I turned off.

This one is stupid on Apple’s part. They’re definitely trying too hard to protect their users from technology and it’s driving me mad to be honest. I know for a fact some of my calendar events are disappearing (because they end up in calendar trash) but have no idea why or which device is causing it and I’m really just about to go all in on thunderbird and say fuck it.

EuroNutellaMan,
@EuroNutellaMan@lemmy.world avatar

the latter is encrypted

Did you make a program to encrypt it before it’s sent to Apple? cause if apple is the one encrypting it they probably can make it so they can easily decrypt it too.

I’m really just about to go all in on thunderbird and say fuck it.

Dewit

Jako301,

Tbh, the amount of users uninstalling edge is so miniscule, it would not be worth it to mess with them by blocking updates.

This probably comes from the way Edge is integrated into a fuckton of background processes and wasn’t a targeted attack.

Ziglin,

Is there a reason vr doesn’t work on Linux?

rekliner, (edited )

Steam just made a big step forward with steam link, but previously the headset manufacturers were releasing Windows only link software.

Also there are now open source solutions like ALVR… But like most FOSS it can require some know how.

(Or maybe he meant Meta is getting all his data anyways, why be picky)

StephniBefni,

She doesn’t have a quest actually, I have a hp reverb g2, which connects to steam vr through the windows MR software. So no matter how compatible stream vr gets with Linux I still need to have the wmr stuff available.

Also I have a phone, so yeah everyone does have all my data despite my best efforts.

asexualchangeling,

Unless my info is out of date that VR steam link still doesn’t work with Linux, it’s Valve so it’s a matter of time, but still…

rekliner,

You’re right. Steam link exists for Linux but doesn’t connect to the new VR app. I agree valve likely has every intention of tapping this market soon though

CCF_100,

The Valve Index technically has Linux drivers but they’re kind of buggy and difficult to troubleshoot

SchizoDenji,

You can easily debloat Windows with shutup10.
