  • The openSUSE matrix server had this happen last year, and the admins came up with a good solution of bots that seems to keep things very clean now. I'm sure they might be happy to help if you asked in their admins group

  • Maybe because... automatically recording calls is literally illegal in some places around the world? It should probably be user choice to opt in to that so it wouldn't be on by default. And then, if you have it on while travelling, you could forget and break the law when going through a jurisdiction that does not allow it. Better to explicitly allow for each call, like it does currently.

  • To be honest, while I would encourage admins to ban outspoken Nazis and those who call for the oppression of others, I would also not call for the removal of the Community itself. Let conservatives have a home here, but be clear about the rules they must follow. Ban individuals, not the community. Those who are not fully bought in to the conservative ideology may benefit from the exposure to leftist content that this widely federated Lemmy instance enables.

    That being said, I would definitely hope the admins are monitoring to make sure that Nazism and violence are not being freely encouraged on this platform. The fully bought-in MAGA folks are definitely testing the limits, moving from dog whistles to actual threats and harassment.

    For this who don't want to see their content, I would encourage you to block the Community in Lemmy's settings, or in your client. Its super easy and effective, and to be honest I had forgotten I had them blocked until now and had no idea what was being posted!

  • I would be interested to know why you are pushing this product across multiple places on Lemmy. Your post, despite disparaging "viral marketers", has a viral marketing tone with statements such as "I feel like I’ve been wasting money on my VPN ever since I found Riseup".

    Additionally, while I do believe a free VPN using an autonomous collective, resource pooling approach is a great idea, in practice this VPN has had... not a great history from my point of view. A quick search shows that in 2017 they were forced to comply with US Law Enforcement https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riseup, see the Warrant Canary section. VPNs based in the US are known to be at risk, and this is another good example.

    When choosing a VPN provider, server location is important, as well as company location. You are repeatedly encouraging people to Torrent from a VPN based in one of the most zealous countries opposing file sharing worldwide, and one that has already worked with Law Enforcement.

  • Yeah I actually am slowly realizing that I agree with that. Lots of bigots in Phoronix comment sections... and that doesn't even include the obviously psychotic rants, its just the ones that unashamedly shit on DEI all the fucking time

  • The GUI version was working a month or so ago, but a recent Tumbleweed update broke openVPN when using port forwarding via natpmpc. Bug report here https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1236718

    Wireguard on the Proton GUI client on Linux is experimental, don't use it except for testing. Use the manual setup, and make sure to test for DNS leaks.

  • FYI, for folks currently using a normal PIN and looking to use this, it's intended that the 2nd factor PIN at least be different than the main unlock PIN. Otherwise you can just swipe up to dismiss the fingerprint prompt and get to the main PIN prompt; if its the same as your 2nd factor, that's pointless.

    I was told on the Graphene matrix channel that the most secure configuration for this is:

    Main unlock method: 6 word diceware password

    Secondary unlock method: biometric + 6 character 2nd factor PIN

    Be aware that if you use this config that you will be prompted for the main unlock method (long password) at reboot, and also every 48 hours.

  • With Linux, you can literally do anything that you want. And lots of people are already doing just what you describe, making pretty and functional Desktop Environments and compositors for anyone to use. As a beginner I'd encourage you to check out all the major Desktop Environment options first. You can usually get any of these in most major distros (Cosmic may be less available and mature right now).

    https://www.gnome.org/

    https://kde.org/

    https://system76.com/cosmic/

    Article with others https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/best-linux-desktop-environments/

    Then you can get into compositors, plugins, and other customization, where you can make your system look almost exactly how you want it:

    https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/6099/paperwm/

    https://github.com/Bismuth-Forge/bismuth

    https://github.com/YaLTeR/niri

    These just happen to include tiling because I love tiling haha... I'm sure there are other non-tiling projects you could try out as well.

    Edit: sounds like you may have already rejected a bunch of the status quo Desktop Environments as too boring haha. Then I would encourage you to check out Cosmic, and then the experimental tiling compositors I listed above... I'm sure you will find them unique at the very least!

  • This is hilarious... after bailing from using the run file a couple months ago and going back to the 550 driver due to instability, I finally decided to install the 570 manually today. Should have waited LOL, the timing...
