Probably ships with OpenSSL and/or OpenSSH. Buying a cheap CH341A programmer off of Aliexpress is a lot of fun because you can actually dump the firmware from like 95% of these things with a $5 tool and poke around/reverse engineer them and do some fun things with that knowledge.

Ah, it’s that time again, we’re bringing SS7 and it’s problems back into the spotlight baby! I don’t have my fingers crossed that this will be solved anytime soon… I mean it’s been in mainstream media every few years since like, what, 2006?

I’ve never used Bazzite personally, only seen a couple of videos about it and have some prior experience with messing around with Ublue images, so I can’t really comment on Bazzite specifically . If their forums are active and friendly towards people with questions, I guess go for it!

Even the term they use (“convict leasing”) is like, what the fuck. Like the thirteenth amendment was already mask off, but now we’re just straight up saying you can lease other people?

Bazzite (and atomic/immutable distributions in general) are really neat, but I personally avoid recommending them to first time Linux users because if they end up searching for a solution to a problem they’re having on the internet, the top solutions that pop up in their search engine most likely not going to be what they’re looking for or even work. Explaining the concepts of an immutable distribution and things like rpm-ostree to someone new to Linux can be quite the challenge and turn them off because of they’ll most likely interpret it as unnecessary complexity to achieve a simple goal.

Yep, that’s another great point. KDE Plasma isn’t my cup of tea because it is in fact so similar to Windows, cluttered control panel and all! Though for someone coming from Windows who wants a very similar experience out of the box, it’d probably be great for them. Fedora even has a version that comes with KDE Plasma out of the box instead of GNOME.

Why are you all laughing about this? Lenin forced 962 million people to go to the fair and be happy. Think about that for a second. He forced them to go be happy and have fun. I don’t know how you tankies can keep dismissing this when it’s so clearly evident.

Of course it will be Linux based, building an entire operating system, especially one acceptable by today’s standards, is a ton of work. Not something you do over a few months with a small team of dedicated engineers. Linux serves as a great starting point to (relatively) quickly build a very usable desktop operating system that can be fully independent from the rest of the world if it so desires to be.

I’d definitely recommend trying something like Fedora, it’s a great distribution for beginners and comes with everything you’d need out of the box to just go about your day and you can try it out and mess around with it without actually installing it to your system. You can install software & update your system with a graphical interface, you can manage your files with a graphical interface, and you can change pretty much every setting that matters with a graphical interface. It’s not as scary as you may think and I promise you will most likely never need to “type up lines of instructions to do what Windows can do with a double click”. Want to install Element (the Matrix client) for example? Open up the GNOME software center, search “Element”, click install, done.

The document itself is from the 1970s, it was declassified in 2007. You can read more about Stalin’s purposeful starvation to supress opposition here.

Ah, that makes sense then. I think It’d be cool to see an open-source take on the “everything app”, my (limited) experience with WeChat is quite positive. It’s incredibly convenient to just have one login that can grant you access to everything you’d ever need and have it be widely enough used for it to be actually useful.

I’ve never used Telegram, but from what I can see public Matrix groups could most likely take it’s place? Maybe there’s some features I’m unaware of but

Many such cases

This sounds cool in theory, but would be extremely hard to pull off in any kind of meaningful fashion I think simply because Rust is just too different from C. You can probably make something to very roughly “transpile” C to Rust, but the Rust code that is generated probably wouldn’t be good and will probably be a pain to work with simply because it’d end up being a mess and at that point, if you’re going to have to end up refactoring a ton of generated code, you may as well just rewrite it yourself so it is actually half decent code.

I should perhaps look towards a more accessible toy with a wider userbase.

You should look into https://buttplug.io, it abstracts everything away behind a nice API so you can support a bunch of other hardware without having to program for a specific piece of hardware. They support pretty much every piece of hardware that you can think of including The Handy

How does one get a free copy of said books, asking an embassy? I sent one of ours an e-mail asking if it’d be possible to get an English copy of Governance of China Volume 1 almost a year ago and never got a response

I figured I’d write a basic installation guide for the people who may not already know how to use Modrinth’s pack system.

1. Download and install Prism Launcher from here. If you’re using Linux, using the Flatpak version will make your life much easier as it comes bundled with multiple Java versions that you may need for specific Minecraft versions (including the one that this pack is on)
2. Download the pack from here by going to the “Featured Versions” section on the left side of the screen and clicking the newest one that’s currently available.
3. Open Prism Launcher and click the “Add Instance” button in the top left, then select the “Import” tab from the options on the left side of the pop up window, then click the “Browse” button and select the .mrpack file you downloaded from Modrinth, then click the “Ok” button at the bottom.
4. After you import the pack, you may need to change the Java version the game will launch with to Java 17. If you’re on Linux and using the Flatpak, you already have Java 17, but if you’re on Windows you will have to download it manually from here. Right click “Create Hexes 1.x.x” and then click the “Edit” button, then select the “Settings” tab from the options on the left side of the pop up window, then check the “Java installation” checkbox, then set the path to your Java 17 installation path, in my case because I’m on Linux and using the Flatpak, it’s /app/jdk/17/bin/java.
5. Finally, sign-in to your Minecraft account by clicking “Manage Accounts” in the top right, then clicking “Add Microsoft” and following the on-screen instructions for how to login via your Microsoft account. Once you’ve signed in with your actual Microsoft account, you’re able to add another offline/cracked account with any username you’d like by clicking the “Add Offline” button. If you don’t have an actual Minecraft account, I’m sure there is a fork of Prism Launcher somewhere with this requirement removed or you may even be able to manually add a offline account by editing the accounts file, but I’m honestly not sure. If anyone knows, feel free to post a reply.
