That’s not a justification to make it closed source. Brave is open source and based on chromium.

I’ve heard of Termux, just haven’t tried it yet. I have some time off come Dec 27th, and there are some projects I want to try, I’ll try to include Termux as well. thank you for the suggestion.

Yeah, I may be wrong with the timing. It happens to me all the time. All I know is I switched the releases repo in Obtainium the moment I saw Catfriend was dropping it and this one was up. I know nothing about this researchxxl guy (or girl, or guys, or girls, whatever), but I didn’t know anything about Catfriend either. Those who mentioned the warning, thank you.

I have to confess that I was not aware of this, thank you so much for letting me (us) know. It’s interesting, and shows why taking the time to research software as well as the devs in charge is so important. I did not see any red flags other than the way the handover has been handled though.

I get it, and I am well aware you’re correct about the risks, but the infrastructure I’m running doesn’t really allow me to go without it at the moment. I did stop the updates in my Obtainium entirely.

The good news is that this just came up: https://github.com/nel0x/syncthing-android/releases

So, it’s looking bright right now.

There’s a fork of the fork. Been using this one for a couple of months.

Agreed. It’s a commitment for sure, and most people are not willing to, or just can’t.

I’m with you here. I stopped pushing people into caring, just secured my own home and family, and bring up the subject in my circle only when someone mentions that someone was ‘hacked’ or something along those lines.

It is more difficult, but it is not inherently less secure if you put in the time and effort to learn what’s what and how to properly secure it.

They just call me paranoid and move on.

You should wipe the whole thing. Ideally, don’t install windows again, go with a Linux distro. But wipe it even if you reinstall windows, just to be sure you’re safe.

Yeah, but Canada is just one of the next in line, we’ll all be battling that eventually, with very little chance at winning too. It sucks.

In Canada? Not happening. Canada is chasing the EU and the UK in everything related to chat control and all that crap.

And only feed it every 3 days. Oh, and play fucking ‘dembow’ at full blast 24/7, that’ll drive anyone crazy.

Yeah, I’m not an expert, or even a noob on sound, my brother in law is a sound engineer (old school) and he says Logic Pro is great, basically flawless, but that it is more for large volume production because it allows you to just take care of some stuff and the DAW will handle everything else. You’ll understand that I didn’t ask what he meant by “stuff” as it would have gone way over my head.

At the end of the day, there’s 2 ways to have Linux reach mainstream, either the developers start developing for Linux (unlikely with most software providers as they don’t see the potential profit in such a small part of users) or we keep getting translation layers like Proton and such (which is, in my opinion, way better than was expected by most, and only getting much better). I would also assume that a translation layer for Mac software would be way easier to jump into because Unix. But it stands to reason that these are more focused towards Windows software for the exact same reason mentioned above for the Windows software developers, as the ratio is about 7:1 windows vs Mac.

It’s convoluted, for sure, but Linux has really been established in the last 5 years, and while I don’t believe there will ever be a ‘year of the Linux desktop’, the growth will continue, specially with Microsoft’assistance making windows such a disgusting flop.

Could be, but there are plenty of DAWs out there.

That makes sense. I would like to see valve bring everything gaming related over to Linux,regardless of the platform originally developed for.

For what, exactly?

‘I paid for this shit, and I will not allow it to be disrespected’. Sounds too much like Microsoft and Google apologists.

And as you’re done praying, they change 10 more, because they can.

I get that some users need a DNS name, but for Chromecast (unless you’re talking about the original one that does not actually have apps) you can use Tailscale just like in any android device.
