  • Palantir Is Helping Trump’s IRS Conduct “Massive-Scale” Data Mining

    Jump

  • Since 2018.... I dont like Trump personally but mass surveillance, data mining, bypassing legal protections like warrants has been going on for far longer than just Trump. Democrats do this shit too

  • The corporate ties to Microsoft, Meta, etc. The founder of systemd being ex Microsoft (including working on TPM). He also said that he thinks that people shouldn't have a choice of init systems and that there should be only one - systemd.

    He's repeatedly made unpopular additions and changes to systemd, forcing them through, despite others protesting. Some of which has corporate capture stink.

    That same founder pushing for age verification after having founded a company that specialises in "verifiable integrity"

    Some of it you can read here: https://tboteproject.com/systemdfindings/

    Other stuff is in the systemd (and probably redhat but I dont use that or Fedora) mailing list a over the years.

  • My one regret with recently ditching systemd is that I didn't learn of the shady shit that's been going on for years and ditch it sooner.

    Just when I thought it couldn't get worse Red Hat goes and outdoes itself again.

  • Post age-attestation distro migration | Artix vs Void vs endeavorOS vs ???

  • I'm really glad to hear that from Endeavour! I was on vanilla Arch for 10 years and been with CachyOS for the past year. But we have EndeavourOS on our kids computer and a laptop. I've been wary of Cachy now since how the mods have reacted to discussion about age verification And I would prefer to stick to something I know (although I'll be keeping Artix in my back pocket just in case).

  • That'll never happen as long as politicians still get bribes lobby money and governments/law enforcement buy data to circumvent legal protections like warrants.

  • Used Arch for 10 years. Been trying CachyOS for the past year. Considering Artix if systemd continues down the age verification slippery slope. Haven't tried it but NixOS looks interesting.

  • €25 is double with our exchange rate and our org would be pushed to afford even $10 per month. We're not a massive charity, just a small community organisation. I was looking into AWS because it would cost little to nothing with the non-profit credits.

    I've had a self hosted Matrix server at home so I'm familiar with it but the format is too much towards the chat end of the communication spectrum than the forum end and we need something that's either a forum or similar in format.

    Federation is an absolute no-no as we would have no control over any other servers the data federated to. And as far as I can work out, Matrix still has metadata issues. I realise going from Facebook to Matrix is still a massive leap in privacy but if people ask why it's better than Facebook, if it can't be a high level of security, it makes it harder to convince them (even though staying on FB would be worse - people have just become so normalised to FB's privacy invasion, they just don't think about or want to think about it). And despite having used Matrix for a while, I've become wary of where Element is taking things.

    We could go the XMPP route but, again, we need something on the forum end of the spectrum, not something like group chat, Facebook (which makes finding previous information difficult), or Discord (same problem).
