Sure, but we are talking about the US here.

Or are you all busy building tunnels and bunkers over there? Organise in your neighborhood and build local groups?

Pretty sure that if the media starts calling these guerrillas terrorists, anti-american, instigators of violence, Communists, Antifa, and so on, they will loose public support and without broad local support in the population, guerilla fighting will not work.

Afganistán and Vietnam fought guerilla against a foreign invasion. US would have to fight ‘guerilla’ against their neighbors and other Americans, against people like them… I don’t think this is comparable.

In an all out war, (which I doubt will happen) all these guns in the population don’t matter against drones, aircrafts, tanks and trained snipers or other soldiers. If the military and all other agencies decides to support Trump, all these weapons will be useless. The pentagon surely has plans for a civil uprising in their own country.

I don’t think the US has enough ordinary citizen that would actually risk their lives for democracy, to make a difference. Media and social media is controlled by the oligarchy, and even the progressives don’t seem to want to cut themselves loose of twitter, Facebook/Whatsapp, google, bluesky, discord and so on. Where would they even organize?

Once it passes inspection, the F-Droid build service compiles and packages the app to make it ready for distribution. The package is then signed either with F-Droid’s cryptographic key, or, if the build is reproducible, enables distribution using the original developer’s private key. In this way, users can trust that any app distributed through F-Droid is the one that was built from the specified source code and has not been tampered with.

The issue there AFAIK is that some app builds aren’t fully reproducible, because if they were the developer signature would still apply and be used. In the reproducible case the security of the build infra wouldn’t matter, because the same app would be produced the same regardless were they are build.

Without reproducible builds, you cannot really trust the software anyway, because the Dev could hook some hidden code only for the released binary app and sign that.

Na… The likelyhood of installing some bad or fake app from google play store is much higher than on fdroid.

The ‘availability’ is misleading. If they offer OpenVPN or Wireguard then they are available pretty much anywhere.

Using just plain Wireguard or OpenVPN configs would also be much better than installing random VPN provider apps.

I did read that. And how much of it was distributed, it doesn’t say.

In every article on records about of food preparation, they never say how much of it is eaten and how much of it is thrown away.

I would necessitate that all or a large percentage of it needs to be eaten for the record to count.

Maybe you are scarcastic, but I think nobody should be afraid of their life by getting killed by random people.

They should be afraid of the people, but not of individuals with guns or money to hire contract killers.

Kirk’s death was a public assassination. There are many easier for ways someone can kill an unsuspecting target. The way the killer escaped makes it likely they where professional or otherwise trained, not just crazy. The killer choose a difficult and public way to kill him, meaning it is more then just about killing Krik. It is clearly a message, question is what message and to whom.

Good to know that I am not the only one mistaking Cr1TiKaL aka MoistCr1TiKaL aka penguinz0 aka Charles Christopher White Jr. as Asmongold aka Zack Hoyt (the rightwing influencer).

Yes, but apt-get is missing search for instance, because that relates to the cache, so apt-cache provides it.

apt combines all those often used commands, and provides a nicer shell presentation.

Pretty good, however wtype is only sending keystrokes globally, with xdotool you can also move the mouse, send key events to specific windows and more.

I think you can start two Wayland compositors, and change the compositor configuration to use different mice and outputs, but I never tried this.

Yes, that is for X11. Now find one that works on all Wayland compositors, that doesn’t require root permissions.

I also switched to use different Wayland compositors many years ago for my main systems, but there are also still reasons to use X11. These are mine:

• X11 forwarding, with that you can connect to another system via SSH (e.g. via ssh -Y) and just start a GUI app, and the window appears on your screen.
• Sharing individual windows via WebRTC, with Wayland compositors you can normally only share full screens. Xserver allows applications to directly capture the window content of others.
• Easily mirroring screens for presentations, with some Wayland compositors you have to capture one screen and then play it back on another screen, with X11 that is integrated into the xserver.
• Automation and keyboard macros, with X11 it is much easier to automate keyboard macros and customize keyboard mapping than on Wayland. See Xmodmap, etc. Same for mouse input. That is also a reason why implementing remote control software is more difficult with Wayland, see for instance RustDesk support for Wayland (works now, but still a bit experimental).

There might be some Wayland compositors that worked around that, but on X11 this was standard. But generally X11 provides these features for all WMs, and in Wayland they have to be implemented individually.

And some just are not supposed to work, for security reasons.

But all of this depends on your use-case. I sometimes even (can or have to) go without a Wayland compositor or X11 and render GUI directly via KMS/DRM.

Yes, currently Valve is mostly interesting in a base system that just runs Steam and games, not a general Linux desktop. Commercial Linux distributions are more about servers and professional workstations.

We either need PC hardware manufacturers or public funding to push Linux desktop, since I don’t think that normal users would pay directly for a Linux system.

PC hardware manufacturers however are more about selling the next device that constantly improving a system non-customers could also use for free, so I doubt they would commit to it fully, and instead use it for marketing.

So all that is left is public funding.

I don’t think that there is any one issue that hurts the Linux desktop, I think it is more a matter of death by a thousand cuts.

I think for the Linux desktop to be (more) successful we need dedicated QA teams, with a direct connection to usability developers that constantly test and write automated tests for the whole integration on different hardware, and fix any issue as well.
