I am slightly bothered by how the logo is quite off-center, is it intentional?

It’s so sad to see that voice of reason is trampled over like this. To see how bad is running Linux on phones, just ask the grapheneos folks. Linux phones have looong way to go compared to AOSP.

True, but asking user about permission to home folder vs. granting permission by default is huge difference. Also doesn’t flatpak also grant other permissions the app wants as well? Like the Mic permission.

While lots of this is problem of desktops in general, but:

• Linux applications can access your entire home folder, which likely contains most of your data. It can also access e.g. state of other applications, which can be bad.
• While flatpak somewhat mitigates the issues, it is half-baked: permissions are granted directly when you install the app, and user has to manually revoke the permission - Needing e.g. FlatSeal for this is insane as well. With Android/iOS, the user only grants permission when needed, which reduces lots of attack surfaces.
  • Doesn’t too many apps want your home folder access by default? If you think about it, it is a huge security issue - you basically have to trust the app to keep your secrets intact.
  • Mic access can be very problematic, esp when it would be enabled by default if app requests it. Although I don’t know to which extent this would be abused.

Pardon my ignorance, but why people keep trying Linux phones when you can develop on top of open source android version, like GrapheneOS? Linux desktop apps are not exactly secure.

Let me introduce you to the Non-Euclidean surfaces to bend your concept of straight lines

You mean this?

Yeah, the problem is with the one banking app I frequent.

Oh my, that sounds difficult. What does “permanently locked bootloader” mean? I was just going to buy at local phone shop…

EDIT: Turns out, local phone shop does not sell Google Pixel. Gotta buy from official google store…

How about, with xmonad!

Hmm, that sounds more like dhall

What is the Nix language like?

Me too with brain, I hate not being able to socialize.

O hello, the one and only other ItB player! How was the mech chess today

While this would not answer your question, but according to podman maintainers, rootful podman with userns=auto enjoys nearly as much security benefits as rootless. (As always, there are nuances to this)

Maybe you could consider running rootful podman, especially if the OS is immutable.

Sometimes I wish I were like OP, being creatively greedy to snitch lots of money. Then I realize, that requires money and influence to work out… Life.

I see, guess I was overly paranoid. Bitwarden sounds good, then!

Am I the only one who struggled extensively with .deb file with out-of-date dependencies? It seems the software dev needs to update the .deb file frequently, which they never do.

I am wondering the opposite as a neurodivergent. Why aren’t all of them kind of fine? Like, one is going to be better than the other, but it seems like a hard pick.

Maybe I am too autistic to consider about forks.

To be fair, it is slow on VPS with single core CPU and 2GB RAM. But that’s not normal…
