How about Qubes? if you have the specs, you get sandboxes (VMs) and all distros are available into 1. Heck, you can even have windows VMs…

And if you don’t have the specs, just use any linux and install distrobox (docker) !

On a gaming laptop I’m using Aurora because KDE Plasma btw (:

It can also be a tie. Like you two right here, both presented fair arguments… Anyway, I think you took the “hypothetical situation” to another case. I was seeing an angry mob physically punishing 1 person (rightfully or not) accused of pickpocketing. So, the “winning” side was kind of guaranteed because it would be many against 1. And, in my case, I didn’t see any weapons. At least, those were the ‘real life’ situations I saw in the news on my home country a few times… it always saddened me. Hence, my opinions here in this thread. Sure, I didn’t consider that in the US 11 out of 10 people carry bazookas.

Fair point. Thanks for providing it with assertiveness.

it could also be because I mentioned oracle :P

People!! Ugh. Downvoting me is letting your internalized opression taking over your moral!

What about a pickpocket that stole a stupid iPhone from a rich teen who would get a new one the very next day? And, in some less frequent cases, the pickpocket may have had actual needs like buying medicine…

That’s the reason we have a judicial system. Not even police are supposed to do harm, only prevent harm and bring into justice system.

I know the system has many flaws. That’s beyond the point. Those who prefer to go vigilante are calling for making it worse. Specially if we take into account the effects of inequality on a hands-on self-service judicial approach…

Come back! You dirty liar!!

Haha. This thread was priceless. I thought you were about to recommend playing 4k games connecting the deck to a TV… No idea if it’s posible, it should… Anyway…

Omg, this turned out to be a thread with plenty explanations to USians that societies have laws, police, judges…

You can blame the orange guy all you want, but your culture is completely derailed. Murder (under whatever “reasons”) can’t be a national sport.

Weapon manufacturers really did a good job in the land of the free…

That’s awful, it means I would get my photo id stolen hundreds of times per day, or there’s also thisfacedoesntexists… and won’t work. For many reasons. Not all websites require an account. And even those that do, when they ask for “personal verification” (like dating apps) have a hard time to implement just that. Most “serious” cases use human review of the photo and a video that has your face and you move in and out of an oval shape…

You do you, of course. But, I think that combining the approach of immutable distros to either case would be a great way to add some security. Even if nothing is ever 100% safe, this would be very robust. Or, even without an immutable distro you can do Qubes or just any sandboxing (e.g. bubblewrap) to open documents and files.

In any case, being paranoid certainly is an elegant sport. Perhaps even more than golfing (:

Do you think Republican politics have the slightest responsibilities or none at all? I think all this thread, and the analogy itself plays into polarization, which is not a good way to actually put the much needed bridges… Everyone can do a lot. There are plenty of tasks and battles. Voting is one, very relevant every X many years. Focus on the everyday too. And on every neighbor. All needs should be covered. Do your best. Allow yourself to rest. We can do this.

Hard dissent. First, Ban content not users. But even if you are banning users, just a quick detour through OPs history would have been enough to see it as a legit account, with a human behind it… Plus, the picture surely has proving metadata, and detailed pixels.

In my case it doesnt appear in the App drawer but when I opened assistant it offered me switching to Gemini, which I did. Then within it, went to Apps to disable integrations like WhatsApp which by default was ON. Same with SMS and others.

Or if you prefer GUI on device apps, Shizuku and then use Cantata

Try Pangolin instead of cloudfare, though it requires a VPS (e.g. oracle free tier, or pay €1/month to ionos)

Random act of vandalism? This was not some graffiti art…

And this is when I banned OP…

I hear thee.

Just an update, I learnt that GrapheneOS developers are ‘aggressive’ towards other FLOSS projects (following comments on other thread, but you can searx grepheneos+controversy and see for yourselves).

So now, I might just prefer an FP6.
