Just tested it out. I thought it was like NoScript in the sense that it would break all websites, but it doesn’t. That’s a better extension than I thought

Waste management and environmental concerns are already bad with coal power (even worse than nuclear power, in the sense that nuclear doesn’t launch waste into the air as far as I know, feel free to correct me if I’m wrong)
Although, yes, security has to be higher for nuclear power, but nuclear is not as bad as most people think
Yes. Opening PDFs might be safer on Linux, but general internet security and practice goes a long way, too. Using a content-blocker like uBlock Origin on Firefox can greatly reduce attack surface on both Linux and Windows as well
researchers from security firm Trend Micro found an encrypted binary file on a server known to be used by a group they had been tracking since 2021
Sounds like it targets servers specifically, so desktop users should be safe
No.
By installing software only from trusted sources (default repositories from your distribution are the safest software you will ever install on linux)
I wouldn't say it's a complete disservice. They made the Steam Deck. And while it's just a fancy GUI (Steam in Game Mode or whatever it's called), that's exactly what people need for it to become mainstream. Besides, if it wasn't for Valve's Proton and Wine, I wouldn't be using Linux as a daily driver today And they (as far as I know, take this with a grain of salt) pioneered the Handheld gaming space (and before you say Nintendo or PSP. They were different than the Steam Deck or the ROG Ally)
Say no to centralized platforms altogether. I don’t want to be that person, but things like these are exactly why open-source is (and should be) superior. It’s unfortunate that OSS has had so little traction in the end-user side of things
I found someone on 4chan that wouldn’t stop announcing this engine on /g/, most likely the owner as well. And seeing that the name is 4get, it probably started there
It’s not ChatGPT’s API. It runs locally, no internet required. For those interested read more here: https://gpt4all.io/index.html
Also, not that it matters much, but it has a strong stance towards open-source software, not allowing closed software in its repositories. Although closed software can be installed by using RPMFusion
If only KDE was as seamless as GNOME on my Optimus laptop… I’ve tried gaming on Wayland (I need wayland for games) on KDE and performance was awful. On GNOME Wayland it’s as good as Windows
Some games from Steam can still be used without Steam's DRM. It's a little difficult to pull it off, but it can be done
