Well, it's more so that I wished the open source community wasn't as averse to implementing a security model that wasn't heavily reliant on the systems being obscure. Security through obscurity is a horrid way to do such things, but it seems like that's the way things were done before I got here.

It would be nice to see the vision of the SecureBlue project come through elsewhere in the desktop Linux world, but any time someone so much as hints at fixing the flagrant security issues of something like the AUR, all they get is dismissal and knuckle dragging in response. I'm not a blind shill for corporate products by any means, I just would like for the community to quit treating security as an afterthought, because it's truly needed if we want to keep the new converts safe from the looming threats that are coming day after day.

Acknowledging the successes of projects that just so happen to not be community driven isn't shilling inherently and I'm a little perturbed at that conclusion you immediately jumped to.

At the moment I've settled on Fedora with cherrypicked SecureBlue hardening, to me that is a lot more balanced for my needs. Tails is something I've dabbled with, but I'm not sure I need total anonymity, I basically never use Tor for anything but it's nice to have something like that on hand just in case the need arises.

Qubes is definitely an interesting project though as well, my last ex girlfriend daily drove it and somehow managed to get gaming working on it, and I wish she was still around to teach me how she did it.

I mean the bar is in hell anyway

Not a bad choice although that's one I've been aiming to get away from because of the controversy and unwillingness to keep getting yelled at over it 🙄

Finally, doing something about that sad sack of a connector

And cats are better than dogs

This is why we should all migrate over to Codeberg for sure

Trump being a hypocrite? Who would've guessed?

I get what you mean. I was a skeptic at first as well until I gave daily driving MV3 Lite a go, and well, six months went by with no tangible noticeable differences from my daily routine. It was to the point where I questioned why it was even such a big fuss in the community.

Personally the tradeoffs with going Firefox/anything Gecko are far more noticeable for my routine. The closest they get to what I am after, is LibreWolf with a couple defaults changed.

I personally think it's bullshit that these things are happening to begin with, not that people are ringing the alarm to our new reality. The latter is just us doing our part to fix this.

I'm exhausted of all this. The data centers have been so pervasive that some communities have been thinking about rationing electricity to get around the requirements. That's... a dystopia future if Ive ever seen one.

So when's OnlyOffice retiring its ridiculous "AI Mode" next?
