Confetti Camouflage

A compatibility layer like Wine is not a replacement for a true sandbox. Although Wine may have some basic sandboxing capabilities, the default wine configuration grants access to your home directory, which something like ransomware could take advantage of.

Chromebooks are locked down yes, but they do give you the keys. It involves unplugging the internal battery to be able to modify the hardware write protection, entering dev mode to disable the write protection, and then flashing a Coreboot port onto the firmware. Even then, a lot of basic things may or may not work once you’re booted into Linux. From experience I don’t recommend.

Installing Linux bare onto a Chromebook involves unplugging the internal battery (or buying a cheap special USB thing) to disable the hardware write protection and flashing a custom BIOS. Some models have issues with basic things like sound output not working through speakers or headphones or both. From experience I don’t recommend.

If you still really want to though there are two websites that are really useful and should have up to date information.

How much of the “coins” actually go to the artists and writers?

His actual computer related stuff has good advice in it but a lot surrounding that advice is indeed pretty sus or extrapolates to clownish end analysis. Like Ford patenting a speeding snitcher to put in their cars that reports other nearby speeding vehicles to the police is going to lead to the end of non-autonomous driving. I wonder if “car dependency” means anything to him. Just engage with it critically.

They want to get to the equivalent of vim’s :

Unbind ctrl+e from your window manager / terminal emulator. The shortcut is never reaching Micro at all.

Is there actually an Agenda2030 or is it just late stage enshittification?

I agree he didn’t do a good job evangelizing Linux. He made a video about his experiences with it, but I do think it’s representative of someone googling and first time trying Linux on their own without a guide friend to tell them, “oh you can do it this way now.” Him ultimately sticking with it in spite of that for data sovereignty is kind of the whole point of Free Software so I can respect that.

I like his other channels for drums / drum history (Drum Thing) and cars (Garbage Time), but notably the main DankPods channel has 1.65 million subs which could bring a load of new people’s attention to Linux.

If we both play the same one online at the same time do we risk a ban?

Yes.

I noticed that previous articles about it mentioned you could actually fake certificates and make it seem like two different games were playing? Does anyone know if that’s still a thing?

You would still be risking a ban.

Closest thing I can think of would be the tags system from DWM iirc or AwesomeWM or on Wayland RiverWM. They can be used like traditional workspaces but you can have a number of workspaces (tags) active at once. However, they are more merged and tiled together instead of overlayed on top which sounds like what the special workspace would do. At the time I used AwesomeWM I never really used the tags system to it’s full potential and only used it like traditional workspaces.

Gotta weigh in the benefits of privacy/features vs anonymity for your needs.

Can you link the original quote? I feel like there is a lot of context missing here.

iirc mandatory Client Side Decorations is only a Gnome on Wayland thing and everyone else has support for both Client and Server Side Decorations.

It is used in the Launch Options of a Steam game. %command% just gets replaced by whatever Steam would use to launch the game. It’s useful to set up anything before the game actually launches, such as setting environment variables or run scripts.

Hyprland itself will still continue to work just fine. What it does affect is Hyprland’s ability to propose changes to FreeDesktop specifications like Wayland. Although I think only the lead dev Vaxry has been banned so potentially they could just get some other dev to do that instead.

I’ve been messing about with NixOS for the past 2 weeks or so. While I think I know enough to plug in the right text in the right spots to get a system configured I feel like I understand nothing about the nix language and the syntax is extremely unintuitive to me. If another distro offered declarative configuration as well as something like Nix’s options I would easily swap away from NixOS at this point.

Minisforum just announced their V3 which is a Windows tablet with amazing looking specs. I would wait until people confirm if everything works on Linux, but it’s an option to consider.
