Instead of spreading FUD about a protocol, one could stay in X11. If you don't need fractional scaling, HiDPI, real multi monitor support, mixed refresh rates, HDR, VRR, no tearing, and trust all your apps to not keylog everything, you can keep using any XOrg DE.

PSA: The file browser plugin can't move files (you need to copy, paste, and go back and delete the original file). You can't select multiple files without a keyboard. You can't upload multiple files at the same time. Mobile screen has lots of usability issues, specially with long paths or filenames.

These all sound like tasks a real sysadmin wouldn't attempt. File browser on a server? Use mv and you can move as many files as you want, sure you'd need a keyboard but I don't see how I would do it with mouse only. Right-click and select multiple? I don't know but it's not a feature I'd even thought of.

Cockpit is great to get a quick glance at the state of servers, but for actual work the terminal is more convenient. Appreciate it for what it is and don't expect a full desktop environment to be included.

It changes permissions nicely and it's nice for my Fedora NAS Jellyfin Torrent server management. It comes preinstalled. Everything that I listed would make the software better.

Having this in userdb is not bad per se. We already have a bunch of PII in there.

I like the analogy of data as oil: polluting when it gets out.

I'd like to severely limit the amount of PII on the system.

I am working on getting the sailing Captain license (I started sailing when I was 8), and move my life there. I hate how things work nowadays. I feel like I am a police officer vs my friends/coworkers AI code. And I don't want to do that

One can only hope this trend is big enough to make phone manufacturers bring the 3.5mm jack connector back.

I use GBoard without internet permission.

Google apps can talk to each other even without internet permissions. So even one app having internet permissions is enough to leak your data

Didn't they announce a partnership with Google Gemini?

Curve works on GrapheneOS. I use it weekly.

I remember Curve being acused of some fishy things happening but I cannot tell you anymre which it was. So I am carefull with Curve.

Oh thanks, that one I didn't know, I'll have a look at it.

It seems to be European too which is another big plus.

In 1953, Iran was a secular and democratic country. They had elected a prime minister who decided to nationalize the oil industry. The US didn't like this and overthrew him. They imposed a brutal monarchical dictatorship. Popular discontent led to the 1979 Islamic Revolution. The ayatollahs, to a large extent, existed because of US interference.

The same is true for all the instability in the Middle East, entirely manufactured by the West.

Action-reaction, cause-effect: You never know how a story will end. And after the 1979 revolution, the CIA and British MI6 provided the ayatollahs with lists of communists to exterminate, which they did. Imperialism always prefers to deal with theocracies rather than communists. https://www.declassifieduk.org/how-britain-helped-irans-isla...

> In 1953, Iran was a secular and democratic

That glosses over a huge amount of details. Calling it democratic is a huge stretch.

> They had elected a prime minister

The election of 1952 were rigged (seemingly by both sides) and not free at all. The vote was even stopped early and almost half the seats left empty.

Mosaddegh was also already in power (being appointed by the Shah) before these “democratic” elections and his reforms were already underway.

> The US didn't like this and overthrew him.

sure, US invested resources, and new government decided to take it for free by force. Why wouldn't you wrap this as original action?

> Imperialism always prefers to deal with theocracies rather than communists.

Communist regimes are also a form of theocracy (proof can be found in the writings of any communist leader). It's just that, unlike other theocratic regimes, other countries have to deal with millions of starving refugees (because the communist faith requires banning food production or something like that, I don't know much about their religion).

I actually get head ache after a long session in front of my computer, but putting anti blue light glasses it goes away or never happens.
