Installing Nvidia drivers from official repos provided by the maintainers of your distro? Easy as pie.

Installing Nvidia drivers from nvidia’s website? Good luck my friend, I hope you know what you’re doing.

Want.

OpenSuse sometime around '07

It didn’t click, ended up moving to Ubuntu almost immediately. A few years later I moved to Fedora. Circa 2020 I dove into Archlinux and managed that for a couple years. Nowadays as I’m learning server stuff I’ve switched to Mint.

There is exactly one type of noob that should be using arch and that’s the kind that has already built an Exocar or at least understands why somebody would.

Hi, 28 here, Roblox came out when I was in middle school, therefore this could be a whole ass Roblox adult, not a Roblox kid.

Honestly, instead of playing shitty clones of games made with child labor through roblox, just play the original games they’re cloning.

Couple of weeks ago I was at a friends place for dinner and the son was playing Roblox. Everyone in the room except him knew he was playing a WoW clone. His dad even told him, “you know I’ll buy you a subscription if you wanna play the real game instead of a shitty clone”

Don’t play Roblox. Its just cheap imitations made with child labor.

I use a proxy so I always have a a little flame bht still torrent at 10mb down, but I’m not all that worried about it.

Ehhhh I disagree that package managers handle cleanup correctly, I’ve certainly had tons of dotfiles left in ~/ mucking things up when reinstalling apps, even those that have been purged by package managers.

The package manager, much like the windows installer/uninstaller, relies on the developer to be responsible in declaring how the package is meant to be managed. If users have manual steps at installation, they will have manual steps at uninstallation as well.

Embedded matrix client and Teamspeak client in a webpage? Selfhost it.

I’m sure it can’t be that hard. I’m planning on rolling out something similar, if it works I’ll like the source code here.

I have a privacy news channel on my discord server because I’m desperately trying to get my folks to switch to Matrix, it hasn’t happened yet but maybe it will now.

Just because it means a public shag on terf island doesn’t mean the rest of the English speaking g world uses it that way.

Android emulators exist on both windows and Linux allowing the android variant to run on desktop. With most modern machines this is a viable alternative to running natively, with some overhead of course.

Since you seem to understand it then:

How do two clients communicsting over a proprietary network negotiate an end to end encrypted chat channel without sharing keys in an easily decrypted manner?

It seems to me that some kind of handshake needs to occur where the clients need to agree on a cypher, so how does this happen securely?

I’m not worried about encryption being broken, it just seems like if you’re handing the keys over the mail, it’s pretty easy to xray the package and copy the key, is the same not true over digital communication?

Then you should be using KDE Neon. Micro$hit copied their UI for windows 11 anyway, should be an easy switch.

Not by default, but yea it is encrypted, I use almost exclusively encrypted chats through TG, even my voice and video calls are encrypted through TG.

E2e encryption is security theater though, a chance for companies to tell states “We’D lOvE tO hAnD oVeR tHaT dAtA bUt ItS eNcYpTeD”.

In reality, it doesn’t matter, if someone wants to snoop on your convos you can’t stop them.

You’re more hopeful than you’ve been given any reason to be to assume this will be over in 4 years.

Your complacency is their enforcement mechanism.

It absolutely supports GPU encoding, it is compatible with nvenc if you don’t have the flatpak variant, but the Flatpak variant can’t touch your gpu

It can if you get libdvdcss and place it in the correct directory, not sure if it can do Bluray though, that’s what I use makemkv for

This is an XY solution but…

Telegram and similar services offer both calling and texting and can be carried across devices. It’s linked to the same phone number, all folks would have to know is “between these hours call telegram”

I’ll keep an eye out on Craigslist and ask some of my small business contacts where they got their.
