Probably not significantly less secure than Xorg itself, I wouldn't mind using in your place. DE security is usually not a huge problem, if someone can exploit these vulnerabilities usually you are quite bonked.
Remember most of what happens on screen is xorg, the wm is a simply interacting with xorg and other parts of your DE are simple user level programs like the panel etc..
It's much higher than zero, if let's say your ssd goes kaput & you try moving everything at once to a new one. That action by itself comes with risk, especially if the usb stick is very large & manufactured after covid. There is also the bit rot issue, usb sticks are useless as backup solutions for any use case, it's just a false sense of security.
I believe i can self-host a matrix client but no idea how well it will work with people currently having notifications by discord bot on their phone
In my opinion discord is not yet enshittified enough for these problems to be easily solved. Give it a couple more years, if matrix gains just a bit more traction, the scaffolding to do stuff like that will be worked out.
I would argue that using an image based system with flatpak is one of the best ways for newbies to transition to Linux. Whether that's SteamOS, Bazzite, Bluefin or Aurora, that doesn't matter all that much.
Circumcision will lower the sensitivity of the penis. This will lead to longer sex when younger, but there are very obvious downsides. Everyone should decide themselves as young adults.
Improvements to the UI & lossless editing are nice, 20 years too late, but nice. Outside of that we are still 19 years behind PS, feature parity is impossible, anywhere near the same productivity is impossible :/
Feels like the foss community is a bit unlucky with gimp, there are so many truly great productivity tools outside of this one area.
Energy costs money in China too, they still have coal plants and crazy energy cutback mandates every once in a while.
The truth of the matter is that you need the user interactions from the free model to train and that value cannot be understated and if you are playing catchup, then it's a must. No one would use the Chinese model if it was a shit service.
Lex Friedman also had a recent podcast episode where his guest kept defending big pharma & insurance. It's insane, his worst interview to date, though I knew for a longtime that he is a sellout.
Epic gave Celeste to me for free & oh boy it's one of the best games I have ever played. Also got Ocmo on ios for free & it's an incredible game.
I don't know why is everyone so surprised, the dude is a hundred, retiring from politics, of course he will save his son. In his place as a parent I too would prioritize my son / family peace over my legacy.
The best games these days are almost all indie games, stuff about AAA & ray tracing etc etc is more of a nerd hobby fueled by the industry rather than entertainment.
Also there are many retro games that used to be AA & they are just as good today as they were 20 years ago. If you want good gameplay there are so many amazing games to play a lifetime is not enough to even scratch the surface.
