  • I see all of you believe what's proper for a man is to be a coward, weak, and run away from words so that men are broken, insecure, and subervient.

    You have fun with that when a couple's life is threatened and the man runs away screaming leaving the woman's life in danger.

  • Signal. Privacy.

    Jump
  • I'm a big fan of the concept of Obtainum, but to insure anonymity with apps, Obtainum is not an option due to not knowing if apps use GCM or Firebase, that's why F-Droid is safer because of removing any dependencies or not allowing an app like native Signal, because of it's dependencies, that's why I suggested Molly app as a safer modified version of Signal.

  • I enjoy Session, I like what the network is trying to focus on. I gave Session due to having concerns from a libre software perspective.

    I stick more with open source software and stay away from libre software, but given the kind privacy infustructure that Lokinet is trying to build, if the server/network should be under AGPLv3+ and Session shold be GPLv3 to help keep the network pure open source.

    I gave up Session for SimpleX

  • For OpenBSD firmware? They are not blobs but are binary installs as there is no such thing as a source installation, everything has to be compiled and build before it can be installed.

    I believe OpenBSD firmware has an ISC license attached to them, but since OpenBSD developers develop the firmware, they don't have legal license from Intel to distribute in base, but I'm pretty sure that OpenBSD firmware has an ISC license for freedom.

  • No. OpenBSD develops their own drivers fot Intel iGPU l, 2.5Gb ethernet, and wi-fi. They don't have.license to include them in base, they download the firmware after first reboot if there's a basic ethernet connection.

    The source code is publicly available from OpenBSD firmware folder on server, but cannot be included in the base installation.

  • Yes, I know there is a market, as tiny as it is. Imagine how much further along corporate software for Linux would be if there was a single format for installing all software in a default configuration for a fresh Linux install.

    I genuinelly don't understand why Linus never develeped a universal installer like .dmg, .msi, .exe, for Linux.

  • Yes, Devuan is more stable. It's not modified or forked, it's still Debian .deb files but with a different init system.

    The difference is systemd is one thing to handle everything. The other inits are launched or initiated each time something thing starts on an individual basis.

    I have heard that systemd has greatly improved, but a different init starts a new process ID for each separate program so if something locks or freezes, it affects that one inidividual init process. For systemd, which runs system wide to handle everything, if one program locks, systemd has to make adjusts for the whole system to fix the problem.

    I also tried Artix, which is native Arch without systemd, and while it was still a rolling system like Arch, I found Artix to run smoother or lighter than Arch.

    Some people find command line with systemd easier to do becase it is one centrslized control system, I say no, what you gain in ease of management you lose in optimal performance and precise control over each individual one, as opposed to systemd being a blanket system. I want Firefox running an isolated process from the one that Plasama desktop is running, each sith their own init started only when each one was started and not controlled by a shared resource.

  • The benefit of testing branch is it's still nit quite so bleeding edge, and updating from testing branch every week means you'll never have to install new stable releases, you'll already be running it.

    While the testing branch is stable, if you want even more assurance of consistant stabilty, use Devuan testing branch, which is Debian without systemd.

  • The SSD will make for a very big difference in loading and operation speed, plus filling out the RAM, everything is going to run so much nicer. If the socket can recognize all 8GB, it will be a nicer experience.

    I would suggest you have a look sometime at Devuan for consistant stability, light on system resources, and if you using the testing branch you'll never have to install new releases, you only have to do an update.

  • Corrrct, there's no assurance with download APK's from 3rd party websites.

    A person could see check if whichever app makes the apk available through their own website or Github, I would trust that, otherwise get everything from F-Droid.

  • I'm glad you succeeded at installing something lighter to replace Windows.

    Have you search for buying more SODIMM RAM? Buying a 4 gig kit will allow for more room for things to run, and a 8 gig kit would allow the processor to run at full speed, assuming the graphics is also using up dedicated RAM space.

    I've used Fedora Plasma and it never came close to using 8GB when using multiple problems, it can go a little over 4GB used. Even though it's a Celeron, the 8GB would allow everything to run freely at full capacity and use more of the processor instead of the processor wsiting on RAM and potentially swaping to the drive.

    You can also look at GhostBSD if you want a default GUI desktop but want to try what FreeBSD can do.

  • It sounds like it's part of loser culture, people that are so dysfunctional they show themself to be losers and don't have the stength of character properly conduct themself so they act both presumptuous and pretentiously trying to act cool but proving what a disappointment they are.

    You bes come correct or protect ya neck.
