    Jump

  • You ask a lot of questions as if they are connected XD dont worry but separate them more.

    Steam is "the good side of Linux gaming" I suppose. I am struggling manually outside of steam, but if you use Steam, just use a modern distro with recent-ish packages and best the KDE Plasma Desktop (or others, but KDE works well), install the native steam client (not flatpak) and it should just work.

    File extensions are the same lol. You can just copy them over. Linux can read NTFS and HFS+ which are the current filesystems used by macOS and Windows. Dont expect to use them long, but copying stuff over works. On the other hand, Windows, macOS (as well as Android and iOS) pretend as if there are only like 3 filesystems out there.

    On Linux you dont even need extensions, you could remove them and they still work. Useful when downloading files from somewhere without an extension, like scraping a PHP website.

  • Podcasts/Classes/Breakdowns of Use & Basic Knowledge?

    Jump

  • PT: Peertube, OD: Odyse, YT: Youtube

    English?

    • LearnLinuxTV (YT)
    • Veronica explains (PT)
    • NapoleonTech (OD)
    • Linux Guides (OD) (german but also english)
    • TechHut (OD)

    Lots of content but not learning

    • Niccolo Ve / NiccoLovesLinux (PT, OD)
    • Brodie Robertson (OD)
    • Nick / The Linux Experiment (PT, OD)
    • Trafotin (OD, a bit on PT)

    Most channels are also on Youtube but these are the google-free platforms. I use grayjay.app for subscribing to all of them. These are just the (few) ones on alternative platforms, there are loads more on googles locked down hell.

    Podcasts idk, learning Linux is kind of hands on and visual, but about linux there are a ton

    • tech over tea
    • linux user space
    • linux unplugged (mostly advanced and selfhosting stuff)
    • lots more german stuff for me
    • lots more that I subscribe to but cant recommend yet XD

  • My Android browser has an add-on that is no longer accessible online. Can it be exported?

    Jump

  • I have tested all free Android variants (and debloated a few horrific proprietary ones) and GrapheneOS is by far the best, yes.

    Very robust and reliable base, significant work on security unlike any other project. Not very shiny on the surface, but apps can be replaced and GrapheneOS is perfectly compatible with any Android app you wanna use.

    Hell, I am administering a poor system that runs like all the big tech apps there are, daily, and it works fine!

  • Fedora and LocalSend (and Syncthing)

    Jump

  • Fedora uses firewalld, you might need to allow localsend and syncthing in your local network. You could also configure different networks to be in different "trust zones", your local one being most trusted.

  • I built a 90.7kb tool that bypasses Windows screen capture protection. Should I open source it?

    Jump

  • Lol please open source it, piracy is way less bad than you may think XD also note that in "piracy" (in this case breaking software locks to access media you own or rent without restrictions) recording a screen is very much a last resort. This could be used to digitize e-books and stuff, but at least currently, movies are preferrably cracked in other ways, never recorded.

    Be careful though, host it on multiple git forges and fully anonymous. Use a throwaway email and tor to create those accounts etc.

    Have a look at radicle, make a torrent with the source code and put it on archive.org, stuff like that

  • I tried Rethink recently, it is not reliable as a VPN, as it doesnt allow to block connections if the VPN connection is cut

  • Blender change the Anthropic AI funding deal, with discussions planned for AI Policies

    Jump

  • Maybe anthropic wants the app better controllable by agents?

  • My Android browser has an add-on that is no longer accessible online. Can it be exported?

    Jump

  • Rethink is okay but buggy and thus leaky. GrapheneOS also has a network permission which is tremendously useful, also from a security perspective.

    E.g. your keyboard shouldnt have internet access, or it might likely send all your input to their servers for "necessary analysis" lol

  • My Android browser has an add-on that is no longer accessible online. Can it be exported?

    Jump

  • No, right comment XD your sources are outdated and misleading. I gave you a relevant one to evaluate how secure a device is against physical attackers with government-level access to exploits and funding.

  • My Android browser has an add-on that is no longer accessible online. Can it be exported?

    Jump

  • I have tested an S9 and it was full of preinstalled malware. No recent one but there is no reason to believe things have changed.

    The USB port is disabled if water gets in. GrapheneOS used the feature to allow users to turn it off, always or while locked. That is actual security and it doesnt break the device it users want to use other (open source) operating systems on them.

    LTE-only is relevant because 2G and 3G are insecure. They were part of the attack chain used by governments to install the Pegasus Spyware on phones, along with browsers allowing HTTP traffic and more things that are dealt with by GrapheneOS.

    Google has implemented very few of their features to work on regular Android, riddled with proprietary spyware.

    Dont forget

    • your sources are really old
    • they are very vague
    • Samsungs mechanism is a middle finger for user freedom, that is well known and a reason why GrapheneOS cant support their devices
    • if your phone has Meta spyware, samsung spyware, microsoft spyware and google spyware preinstalled, "military grade" (which translates to "good enough and cheap") is not relevant at all

  • A polite open letter to KDE developers and maintainers, which got blocked by a moderator.

  • I agree that the DE would be the part that implements the user facing components to enter, attest, verify or do whatever.

    So a clear stance would make sense.
