I would offer a suggestion “it’s not that I have nothing to hide; it’s that i have nothing i want you or anyone else to see”.

Both may sound similar but in reality quite diffierent.

If this post gets 666 upvotes hell will definitely break loose lol

“I don’t have anything to hide”

I prefer to suggest a different mindset - “It’s not that I have nothing to hide. It’s that I have nothing I want anybody to see”

root,

Definitely. Now I just occasionally mention that I have and use more privacy friendly alternatives as a sort of “fyi” for them to know. It’s better for the other parties to want to switch out of their own desires than to be forced. If it is forced upon them and things don’t go smoothly, you’ll end up getting resentment or worse, blamed. Better to use subtle encouragement and if they decide to switch, offer lots of useful advice and assistance.

Noticed a strange occurrence where my monitor buttons will not react to presses when certain conditions are met

I have an Acer XV340CKP monitor connected via Display Port to my GPU. I also have a old LG W2253TQ that I use as a secondary display. It only has a DVI and VGA port. I have a DVI-DVI cable together with a DVI-Display Port converter to connect to my GPU, which is an Asus RX6900XT. I am running Nobara 38....

root,

Very interesting. The Asus monitor is probably only 2 years old. It does work fine standalone with a spare laptop of mine that is running Windows 10 though.

root,

The monitor with this “unresponsive button” issue is the Acer monitor, which is about 2 years old.

root,

So I decided to bite the bullet and did a fresh install of Fedora 39 and that appeared to have made the issue go away. In the process of installing updates and configuring it the way I like, the monitor control buttons on both monitors response. So, it seems like the cause of the issue could have been a glitch during an update. Who knows? At least I know that it’s not a hardware issue (cross finders). :)

root,

I did not try replicating this behavior with a Windows install on my desktop. I did however perform a fresh install of Fedora 39 and that appeared to have fixed the issue, which is good news.

Found the millenial :p /jk

It’s essentially a player which ignores the region locks on bluray discs.

root,

Millennial because they grew up only knowing MP3s and digital media and didn’t get to experience disc based media. :p

root,

Sony minidisc says hi :p

I remember a time when i was hoping they’ll implement the minidisc as an alternate removerable storage for PC. More robust compared to floppy disks, less delicate compared to CDR, and is rewritable too. LOL

root,

Like how after every Windows update all my settings get reset 🤣

root,

Not what you’re looking for but the Asus Zenfone 10 still has a headphone jack. I don’t think you’ll find a privacy oriented custom ROM for it though.

root,

I use Connect for lemmy. Doesn’t ask for any permissions.

root,

Yup. play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kuronek…

“I too have nothing to hide but that doesn’t mean that it is something I want others to see”

root,

Lol. I tried to google it too and i still am unable to define a custom home partition for my most recent Nobara install. Gave up and just let it automatically create what it needs.
