  • the NSA (which lacks a mandate to act on US soil, and CF is a US company)

    They absolutely do have a mandate to operate on US soil, that is actually the main mandate and there is a separate military agency (CNMF) that operates on foreign soil. They are both headed by the same guy though so they might as well just be one agency.

  • it doesn’t, what this is suggesting is the vpn was routing traffic through it so they could analyze snapchat traffic. not the contents of it but essentially meta analysis of the traffic. how often it was sending data, how much data, where it was going etc.

  • All OS updates are signed If what you are saying were possible, then all phones would always be susceptible to a man in the middle attack of someone faking apple's server to send a fake OS update. All this seems to be is a qi charger that has the ability to also turn the phone on / off then it can just connect to apple's server and update itself like normal.

  • I don’t have an answer to your nvidia question, but before you go and spend $2000 on an nvidia card, you should give the rocm docker containers a shot worh your existing card. https://hub.docker.com/u/rocm https://github.com/ROCm/ROCm-docker

    it’s made my use of rocm 1000x easier than actually installing it on my system and was sufficient for my uses of running inference on my 6700xt.

  • What are you even talking about? systemd is currently under an opensource license, they cant retroactively change that. Any changes would be for it going forward if it is even possible for them to buy the rights to it (which I'm not convinced it is as Lennart Poettering is not the sole contributor and Red Hat / IBM and many others also have a significant stake in it). Sun patented Java on it upon its creation and when oracle bought sun, they bought the rights to those patents. They aren't comparable situations. Java was never open source, it was source available, but still proprietary.

  • Its certainly easier to read than most old init scripts and I can see why some distros and openbsd would pick it over systemd for more control. I'm not likely to pick a distro that uses it anytime soon, but i can see why some do.

  • That is my point, they have tried and failed completely before when their main product was windows licenses. Now, linux is incredibly important to their azure business, they wouldn't want to potentially cause detriment to that and is far more important to them than windows licenses.

    Also why would we have to rip out systemd, even if they tried to claim ownership of it and make it proprietary, it could be forked from before the license change and we would keep on going like nothing happened.

  • people keep saying this, but what is their extinguish plan? how could they realistically extinguish linux? it’s not a company they can buy, or even a single thing they can ruin.

  • We are talking about the non consensual circumcision of infants. Of course if an adult wants one done, they should be allowed to go do it, or if it is actually deemed medically necessary. 99% of these circumcisions are not though in the US. That's what needs to be banned.

  • Except its not even, at least for christians. Its actually even considered a sin for catholics. https://catholicism.org/ad-rem-no-283.html

    It became popular in the US because it was thought that it would stop people from masturbating. That’s why its an American thing and not a religious vs non religious thing (except for jewish people).

  • Immutable isnt really the best word for these distros. Its why fedora is changing the name to atomic, as in changes made to the system are done atomically like git. This also means changes can be rolled back just as easily as they were made.

  • The trick was to install VSCodium from the Toolbox

    Another option you can try that I use is the dev containers extension which allows you to move your workspace to different containers from within vscode. I will say however, i have tried many times to get it working in vscodium and have been unsuccessful and it only seems to work in vscode proper.

  • With fedora atomic, lets say i wanted to try out kde desktop for a while. i would first pin my current build so i can roll back to it if i dont end liking kde with

    $ sudo ostree admin pin 0

    Then i would rebase to the kde branch with

    $ rpm-ostree rebase fedora:fedora/39/x86_64/kinoite

    Then just reboot. That’s literally it and i would have a kde system with all my layered packages and i could roll back to my old system at anytime.
