Besides it might spoil the relationship with your local NSA agent.

Lucky, my dog is gluten intolerant. It’s not fun cleaning out his fur.

Yeah, they could puppet the chrome company if the courts don’t keep a close eye on it. Basically there’s a good chance it would be another Firefox but with way more influence.

Isn’t it already licensed under permissive Apache v2? Anyone can fork and carry on the project without the permission of Google, every manufacturer already does as a result of the license.

Damn, it’s a laptop.

Just yank the power cable. If it gets corrupted just blame windows and switch to symbian os.

I unironically do this every time I eat out. More for the sea creatures and the island of plastic but still.

You gotta be fast because they’ll slap down too many straws and throw them away later.

100w charging, getting pretty toasty!

I don’t know, they’re just security measures you can take. Maybe some personal preference thing. I don’t bother with the app guard thing and SELinux is pretty annoying with my Nvidia graphics card but a firewall is something I always setup.

Firewalled for limiting untrustworthy connections to the computer(public networks, hotels, even work).

apparmor for protecting the kernel and controlling file access to applications. SELinux is also a good option but if you need to load kernel modules, it can take a few minutes to sign and register it. It is automated on redhat systems though.

Other than that, do your research and don’t run random scripts and install random apps.

I do wish there were more native apps but alternatives to electron is always a good thing in my book.

Except for Microsoft, Microsoft can stop pretending their solution is demonstrably different from electron and chromium.

Neat!

Discord, slack, bitwarden, steam, Microsoft teams, visual studio code, balena etcher . Anyone else know of any electron apps or heavily modified version of chrome?😄

Yeah, generations of people hunting for a deal and these companies responding to demand with cheaper options. So capitalism maybe but more so human behavior.

Because you always buy the cheaper seats. It’s not your fault, I do the same. Flying was literally for the wealthiest of people at that point in history, it was literally a luxury to fly instead of taking a train, bus, or a boat.

It’s fun to say something completely different when they ask what.

Good idea, they always repeat themselves when they see you sitting there with a confused and worried expression.😆

I mean they don’t need drm if updated requirements can’t be met by the host system. Steam stopped officially supporting windows 7 because of some core platform security libraries that is needed for newer versions of chrome just doesn’t exist on windows 7 and won’t because windows 7 is EOL.

I don’t like Ubuntu that much but one thing they really do right is a tool that made installing the few drivers not built into the kernel stupid easy. That’s the number one thing I see people mess up with Nvidia drivers. You always install Nvidia drivers through your distro app store/package manager never the website.

I understand the mistake but it’s painful to see someone manually install Nvidia drivers from their website just for it to shit the bed in a kernel update.

I’m sure the update manager was probably very important back in the day but I am glad updates come through the software manager now. Even though I don’t use it it’s very intuitive.

You sound like a Linux veteran.
