Can anyone who works in the security space tell me if we are as cooked as I think we are?

With ai I’m assuming any script kiddie with motivation has access to a SIGNIFICANTLY larger surface area of attacks. And sometimes I do stupid things like wait an extra few days before updating my pc/software.

I have this suspicion that everything digital is far more vulnerable now than it ever was. But I have only surface level knowledge in the space. Is it as bleak as I think?

You’re right but I hate that you’re right

I’m usually very pro consumer but I’m less bothered by this one because apple has 0 incentive to abuse that power. People would riot. Although thinking about it a government demanding its use could be a concern too…

Protondb will be your best friend here. If I were you I’d look up the games you want to play on there and check peoples comments on how they got them running. Almost everything out of box using steams proton tools but often it needs tweaking. Depending on how much you want to play a game it might not be worth the trouble to setup. For instance I stay away from every live service game now. You should also check out the os people are using on protondb to make sure it works for you I use arch (btw) so I won’t take instructions from a Debian setup if I can find one with a similar os.

Worth pursuing and you sound experienced enough to get it set up. Idk about modding though that can be painful to get setup BC of how wine/proton work.

I’ve only seen this on a system I hadn’t changed the wallpaper on. But agreed the stock ones suck

Mostly BC its low effort. The most intimidating thing about arch for me was the troubleshooting when things go wrong. I’m cool with that in general operation but not during the installation process. Endeavor makes it painless while still being a minimalistic install

EndeavorOS if you want to have an easy time. Also be comfortable reading documentation.

Endeavouraos, arch but also easy

Its honestly amazing. I keep hearing bitwig is the way to go if you want to use linux and also be happy

There are alternative DAWs but ngl they all make me sad. And some vsts are a nightmare to get running too.

But they are alot better than trying to get fl running on Linux imo. Check out zrythm if you ever have some time to kill. It sounds lile the most promising one.

If the data stays on a local device why is drm protection even necessary 🤔

Duckduckgo, kagi, and Searxng are the ones i hear about the most

I asked myself the same thing bc i read this and I’m still skeptical.

I don’t think they could present anything that would exonerate them except literal recordings proving the accuaations false. Which sucks if they’re innocent, but like i said im skeptical.

What sits wrong with me here is that one of the underlying complaints was on the basis of there being few or no other women in the workplace and it allowing for the existence of a hostile work environment. Thats not a problem that gets fixed by suing the woman speaking out on these potential issues.

I’d start watching them again if they prove consistently that they are trying to resolve the underlying issues that were brought up. Having more female representation etc. That and time.

Iirc manjaros problem is that its half arch in that it does staggered updates which doesnt mesh well with aur.

EndeavourOS handles the install so you dont have go through a complicated install just like manjaro does. But from there you basically have a barebones arch install with no staggered updates or anything. So all the kde packages should be up to date there too.

I did try manjaro forst and ditched it but i dont remember why.

I do use gnome though so take this with a grain of salt.

I can say I’ve never had a stability issue with arch though.

Distro hopping gets addictive and honestly if you’re happy with where you are i wouldnt recommend you switch anything.

Buuuuut if you’re going to do it anyways EndeavourOS. Its arch for begginers you can branch out to more complex things if you want but the install is painless and works out the box. Arch is in general VERY customizable but its a double edged sword so having guardrails during the setup is helpful.

Pour les spécificités étrange avez vous un example?

The software developer in me hates you. You’re not wrong but still 😡

EndeavourOs makes it super simple too

Seriously how is this technology?

It is. But in your defence at this point it only matters when something goes wrong. And that’s getting pretty rare.

I think it’s why there’s such a clear divide between people who “just use Linux” and those who don’t. Modern computers hide almost all information that would let you figure stuff out on your own and Linux makes you figure stuff out like once a month.

But all that means is that your choices are more and more limited. And it’s how Microsoft is able to sneak such predatory practices into their OS. You can’t go anywhere else
