The phone sensors are so advanced that tools like "Sleep as Android" can record a perfect sleep snapshot just by leaving the phone on the bed while sleeping. I think Google can also record "private encounters" too. Actually, everything with a good sensor (smart watch(!)) can record everything. I am saying don't be afraid, be horrified :-)

Reminder: As long as you don't get rid of "Google Play Services" running as "root" 24/7, removing/not using Google Maps doesn't mean so much to Google.

I refuse to answer such a stupid question.

I had a Casio remote control watch that I was actually using all the time in my room. I used it in an evil way only once, since the TV sales guy was showing off how loud the super high-end TV is. As he turned the volume up with a maniacal smile, I just pressed OFF button. New money couple lost interest immediately.

It is Casio CMD-40 for the interested.

It was a serious issue back then. People were wandering around on the Internet with root accounts. A lot of #linux IRC channels were kicking&banning anyone with "~root" or "root" ident with educational sentence like "Do not use root account as your ordinary account, check instructions". We don't see the issue widespread today since distros did very good intended "dark patterns" to push users to regular user accounts. Linux (or UNIX) "root" account is true god mode. E.g. infamous "rm" as root joke (!) could even affect Windows running WSL2, so MS had to implement special workarounds.

Clown graphics reminds me of the alt-right trolls who hate Mozilla for their stance on diversity and freedom. They are even late to the AI party, there isn't a single "free as in freedom" AI around, are you aware of it?

Check this one: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/pwas-for-firefox/ It doesn't have super advanced capabilities of PWAs however the "pwa creators" already assume one is using Chrome etc.

It is all about private "dinners".

It will be isolated in its own directory, as I said I think distrobox.it+neon+, own home will be a far better solution of course. I keep hearing Flatpak is adding snap-like deeper features so I wondered how far it went. About the KDE 6 being unstable: I think they wanted to ship something out and for people preferring stability, 5.x LTS will be there for a long time.

[–] Ilgaz@lemm.ee 3 points 6 months ago

I mean as you can use far newer KDE applications on Debian stable via Flatpak, it may serve the same purpose contained in a separate tree without changing the core OS.

I guess distrobox+neon would work fine yes. I just wondered the state of Flatpak with the recent changes.

[–] Ilgaz@lemm.ee 3 points 6 months ago (4 children)

I understand it won't be trivial but I wonder if, theoretically, a team can ship & maintain a KDE 6 "flatpak" or "snap"

I mean in technical terms, not that they would with the non technical mistakes Ubuntu keeps doing.

 

I think Boost should show both positive and negative scores on posts, comments. On this platform it matters.

BTW unlike the populist, commercial platform you can't really censor whatever you don't agree. Which is a good thing.
