  • The phone sensors are so advanced that tools like “Sleep as Android” can record a perfect sleep snapshot just by leaving the phone on the bed while sleeping. I think Google can also record “private encounters” too. Actually, everything with a good sensor (smart watch(!)) can record everything. I am saying don’t be afraid, be horrified :-)




  • It was a serious issue back then. People were wandering around on the Internet with root accounts. A lot of #linux IRC channels were kicking&banning anyone with “~root” or “root” ident with educational sentence like “Do not use root account as your ordinary account, check instructions”. We don’t see the issue widespread today since distros did very good intended “dark patterns” to push users to regular user accounts. Linux (or UNIX) “root” account is true god mode. E.g. infamous “rm” as root joke (!) could even affect Windows running WSL2, so MS had to implement special workarounds.






  • It will be isolated in its own directory, as I said I think distrobox.it+neon+, own home will be a far better solution of course. I keep hearing Flatpak is adding snap-like deeper features so I wondered how far it went. About the KDE 6 being unstable: I think they wanted to ship something out and for people preferring stability, 5.x LTS will be there for a long time.




  • If you use a rolling/half rolling release like Tumbleweed/Fedora, Nouveau is pretty usable and it progresses. That is unless you are a gamer or do AI stuff. It is Nvidia who had to provide an open source driver to their customers. I don’t think Nvidia customers figure they are customers, not beggars as they don’t demand it. That even includes governments and the military.
