    You just have to add „All hail Tux“ to the end of every comment and it should go away in 2-3 business days

    Tap for spoilerAll hail Tux

    [–] [email protected] 20 points 4 months ago

    I heard if you say "Tux" three times while staring into a mirror your daily driver turns up dual booted.

    bro careful especially if you're in EU, the CEO of the Linux company himself warned they will go after and bring people into court for using pirated copies

    One of my favourite GitHub shitposts!

    [–] JustARegularNerd 21 points 4 months ago

    I love that it's also got build instructions for Windows and macOS

    [–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago

    I totally need to manually add that Fedora repo, layer it, reboot just to see if it works on KDE Wayland

    Exciting!

    Shout out to my buddy who has been using an un-activated copy of Win10 for over 5 years despite being called out anytime he shares his screen.

    And yes we told him how to but "It doesn't bother him"

    [–] [email protected] 40 points 4 months ago (2 children)

    You mean, you told him the free and easy github script?

    [–] [email protected] 19 points 4 months ago (1 children)

    Where can I get the privacy nightmare AI application for Linux? I want it to take screenshots of my computer (in case I want to search it), never really use it, but store the data on my PC unencrypted, thus able to be hacked.

    [–] [email protected] 32 points 4 months ago (1 children)

    Microsoft Linux.

    [–] ratemisia 11 points 4 months ago

    I wonder if they'll add this to WSL...

    [–] cley_faye 20 points 4 months ago (3 children)

    Someone made that, sort of. Unfortunately, the privacy nightmare is slightly reduced compared to the original one.

    https://github.com/openrecall/openrecall

    [–] ZILtoid1991 9 points 3 months ago

    The security nightmare is reduced by a lot, thanks to Linux being a lot more safe system. Of course the occasional very old security issues get found, but those are only old if some swifty hacker found out and didn't disclose it publicly, or had to wait for years to be solved.

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago

    I tried it to do some research recalls, like set it up for doing very specific things and I found it filled my hard drive pretty fast with screenshots. It's probably a good idea if you can turn it on and off like this one and be careful, but it likely still needs polishing. That was when it was first out.

    Backups are important, especially passwords stored on images which is leagues more secure than plain text

    Ah yes, the Red Hat experience!

    [–] [email protected] 36 points 4 months ago (4 children)

    Without RedHat, we wouldnt have Linux in the US governments, no SELinux, no Android security.

    I think there is worse than companies selling Linux

    [–] BarbecueCowboy 7 points 4 months ago (2 children)

    I'll thank them when they stop remaking perfectly fine utilities over minor issues then doing a shitty job with compatibility.

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

    Example?

    Podman, virt-manager, toolbx, tuned are the software I know. I could agree on a few that redoing some is bad

    Time to activate Linux with sketchy activation scripts

    The good old 2000s when you could host and successfully distribute any virus disguised as something popular by slapping a _full, _HD or .rar/zip (or any combination) at the end of the file name.

    I used to look up lard bread and there was a hit for lard bread_full.rar on the first page.

    [–] toynbee 7 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (4 children)

    I didn't know what lard bread is, so I looked it up.

    I discovered it was bread with prosciutto baked in. I thought it sounded unappealing.

    Then I thought of "making bacon pancakes" and thought I should open my mind.

    edit: added a missing word.

    [–] Dicska 5 points 3 months ago (2 children)

    So the thing is, English is not my first language and I used the wrong word. I guess it's more like greasy bread. Just plain pig fat spread on a slice of bread. But what you just described actually sounds awesome.

    Just a one-liner as root, and you're done.

    [–] Shady_Shiroe 8 points 4 months ago (3 children)

    Root account unavailable, you have not activated the premium account for this Linux installation, please activate by purchasing it for a $5 monthly subscription

    There's also one for macOS. No idea where.

    [–] [email protected] 19 points 4 months ago (3 children)

    I remember buying Mac OS upgrades. Time for the retirement home, I guess...

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

    And here I am remembering how awesome those multi colored transparent Macs looked back in the day

    The puck mouse was horrendous, though. My hand still hurts ~25 years later.

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

    The puck mouse is why I’m so good at using keyboard shortcuts. I use vim, btw
