Linux doesn’t work on TV

proceeds to name 3 distros that not only work but do gaming

My brother in Christ…

This is how they manage to get users to not blink an eye when they notice their keyboard is 1.1GB because of all the tracking and analytics libraries

It’s because AI cannot think. AI cannot be clever. You cannot model creativity by absorbing the collective thoughts of all of the past. Generative AI will be nothing more than autocomplete.

This is how the fascists evangelize to the morons, the lower educated.

See, when they say stuff like “our beef is beautiful, and theirs is weak, they’re jealous” or “these tariffs might be the manliest thing, they’re going to being us back from woke and give more testosterone” they’re not talking to you.

I mean, they know you’re gonna hear them but they know you’re smart enough to know what they’re doing.

What they’re really doing is rilling up all the dumb, uneducated masses that voted them in. They’re filling the airwaves with buzzwords, and their fucking sleeper zombies awaken from their WWE stupor, they all turn down their sweat lodge manosphere podcasts and go “yesss daddy make us more stronger omg trump greatest ever we’re gonna dunk on those nerds”

They think this will scare you and intimidate you not because of their words directly, but because you understand the effects of what they’re really doing. You know, because of the implication.

Of course it’s fucking stupid, but the problem is they will actually throw a tantrum when you tell them to fuck off and that’s when fascism gets ugly. God help us all.

That is absolutely not the reason ANYONE recommends it, unless you are a complete noob and entirely unfamiliar with computer security at all, and are just pulling assumptions out of your ass. Don’t fucking do that, don’t post with confidence when you’re just making shit up because you think you know better. Because you don’t.

If there is a vulnerability in SSH (and it’s happened before), attackers could use that to get into root directly, quickly, and easily. It’s an instant own.

If root login is disabled, it’s way less likely that whatever bug it is ALSO allows them to bypass root login being disabled. Now they have to yeah, find a user account, compromise that, try to key log or session hijack or whatever they set up, be successful, and elevate to root. That’s WAY more work, way more time to detect, to install patches.

If the effort is higher, then this kind of attack isn’t going to be used to own small fry servers; it’s only be worth it for bigger targets, even if they’re more well protected.

If you leave root enabled, you’re already burnt. You’re already a bot in the DDoS network.

And why? You couldn’t be bothered to type one extra command in your terminal? One extra word at the start of each command?

Sorry bitch, eat your fucking vegetables

This is terrible advice.

“Just turn off your firewall bro, please bro, everyone just paranoid please bro enable remote root login bro 😢”

Then you can’t gain root privileges on your server. Are you really arguing for less security because it’s inconvenient?

This is end-user behavior and it’s honestly embarrassing. You should realize your security posture is much more important than “I left my phone on the other room”

How much you wanna bet that at least part of this traffic is Microsoft just using other companies infrastructure to mask the fact that it’s them

“Akshully, net neutrality is BAD because it lets the GOVERNMENT censor the internet!”

Brave? The browser that hides ads and substitutes their own? The one that keeps you private from Google AdSense so they can sell your data themselves? The one that keeps their Chromium build lean, so that you don’t notice the crypto miner running along side of it?

The fucking PayPal Honey of browsers? When the fuck did they ever look good? They’re like the “Banzai Buddy” of the HTML5 era

It should probably go without saying, but just in case anyone reading this doesn’t know, these types of issues should be submitted as a bug report.

~will edit this post with a link after I go dig one up.~

Use bugs.kde.org

I don’t think they do it to make us dumber (there are other methods for that) but to make it accessible to people who don’t already know better.

So, in this case, inadvertent is correct; Although it’s not without side effects.

Yeah I’ve fallen into this trap before as well. When I shop for a desktop, I tend to go as high-end as I can afford and then sit on the same machine for 7-10 years until it becomes unusable/support begins to wain. That desktop sits under my desk and doesn’t move that whole time, it is in a very controlled environment.

You cannot shop that way for a laptop that will be moved and handled and charged and stowed and scratched and bumped and bent and twisted. Even if you take excellent care of it.

Can’t it also dock to a TV or monitor?

I can’t believe Microsoft is doing EEE on malware

I wish instead of complaining to people that they didn’t read the docs or whatever that linux devs would scour the internet for these criticisms (like when specifics are provided) and then develop solutions for them.

Yeah, people are shitting on your product because it’s not obvious. Make it more obvious!

(Thankfully this is starting to happen…)

I notice there aren’t a lot of Dashlane fans. (I use Bitwarden myself.)

Is there something wrong with them?

If you click on something the algorithm goes hard on that content from then on. I clicked on a skateboarding short (which I usually have no interest in) and now half my feed is skateboarding, constantly.

One misclick, one hate watch, is all it takes.

You don’t have to use HomeAssistant if you hate it so much.

For some reason, on Ubuntu, the Supervisor container loses its “privileged” status. I’m not sure if it periodically restarts itself or something , but that also was happening to me.

I moved my setup to Debian 12, did a fresh Supervised install, and then restored a full backup from my Ubuntu instance and I haven’t had this issue since.
