but that’s not what’s happening. processes do actually get removed from RAM, and when they are needed they are very slow until they are loaded back. the system thinks it’s more valuable to have that memory be filesystem cache

also in case you have too many electron shits open

it won’t become big distro,

financially it is already a pretty big distro

I have 2 IPS monitors, and the older, cheaper one is much better than the other. so it’s not just the IPS-OLED difference.

Sane people don’t want to spend weeks configuring the most basic shit.

theres plenty of distributions and flavours they can choose from, having a long history of being well maintained and without core maintainers and supporters having hostile views on the world.

and with ladybird, another well known fashware: https://drewdevault.com/weird-guys/

It’s not that Wine runs things as an administrator

yes, it is that

Wine emulates the Windows virtual filesystem by creating and using a directory in your home (by default), which means you own the entire thing;

I was always installing fitgirl games to my other drive, where I owned the entire thing. I know because I remember I set the ownership.

However, the existing Program Files folder in your OS drive (C: by default, idk if you can change its volume letter) is owned by… I have no idea, actually, but it’s a system account, not yours.

The last paragraph may be inaccurate, I was much less

I have never installed fitgirl games there.

I have bad news for you, simplex also has this “security flaw”: https://simplex.chat/docs/guide/managing-data.html

but I always installed them on my other drive where it did not need such privileges. it works on linux because here everything runs as admin (in the wine world, it’s not admin in the linux world)

denuvo won’t run on operating systems that don’t try to fuck you over, and makes the game slower on windows

why does it require admin rights to run, then? right at startup, and if you try to run it with a tool that fakes admin rights, it will crash (unlike other installers it can successfully make run)

simplex messages stay on your phone

I think that’s what I said with signal too. the exception is you can have your messages follow you, if you still have the old phone, because the app supports transferring the data.

I meant us handing over our encryption keys. ofc MITM does not work here

for signal, that is still required. if you look, they used linked devices to get the messages

the only time they mention signal is when they explain they used linked devices to obtain signal messages. not SMS! if you lose your phone or whatever, and log in on a new device, your messages won’t magically reappear, they are lost, and all your contacts get a warning that your safety numbers have changed.

they did not disclose how have they done it for signal, and than mentioning linked devices. it could be that they got access to a linked computer of the user, and copied messages that way. there is not much signal could do against this. afaik the app already uses the system keystore to store api keys, and to partially encrypt its data, but the system keystore is often not so strong because its automatically unlocked

I understand that, but what tools would you use if all open source devs stopped their contributions? there wouldn’t be anything left. we could go back to windows 11, googlified android with all the scam ads of the world, etc. I feel this mindset hurts the open source community more than the ubercapitalist pigs

the whois info for the IP might have an abuse email address, try that

But we have about 80% electricity from renewable

in the summer, but what about winter when there’s less sunlight and weaker?

I did not completely agree at first, but now I remembered google using similar language to justify taking away crucial addon APIs
