    From Wiktionary:

    1. (colloquial, sometimes derogatory) Homosexual. [from 19th c.]
    2. (colloquial, sometimes derogatory) Non-heterosexual or non-cisgender: homosexual, bisexual, asexual, transgender, etc.
    3. (loosely) Pertaining to sexual or gender behaviour or identity which does not conform to conventional heterosexual or cisgender norms, assumptions etc. [from 20th c.]
    4. (dated) Strange, odd or different; whimsical. [from 16th c.]
      (…)

    It is already inclusive.











  • Again, you seem to be missing the point. Nobody would be “removing permissions with xyz tool”. People are told something is safe, therefore it must be safe. If it’s not then it’s not. And again with PGP, one example how a “simple user” could have PGP keys is if they use PGP email at work. Management != tech people, so container must equal safe in ooga booga brains. Keys get stolen because of supply chain (remember that library updates are separate and slower for flatpak). Container must equal safe, so everyone disregards what was written about XYZ program and the one to blame becomes the simple office worker*, another victim of capitalism*. Or the IT guy. My point is, marketing wrong.


  • click the red “medium risk”

    Literally how the fuck was I, or let alone “a simple user”, is supposed to know that? “Intuitive, uncluttered UI” my ass. Also “The software developer has verified their identity, which makes the app more likely to be safe” ??? How Android wannabe (without actually being anything like Android) do they want to be???

    not a problem of flathub

    The problem of flathub is the illusion of safety.


  • “Full control” and “cell phone” are fundamentally incompatible. Modem firmware is always a black box, most communication hasn’t been reversed yet, the cell towers are black boxes.

    Closest you can get is use an actual pocket computer (well, they don’t make those anymore, disable the modem of a smartphone and it’s close enough). And for actual phone calls like for work, you could use one of these MT62xxx phones with MediaTek MAUI. Turn it off when you don’t need.

    Before you go port Doom, basically none of them have an application interface compiled in, mostly because they cheap out on enough RAM to be useful with that. Most non-brand ones have fake “Facebook” and “YouTube” apps that just say “Network error” and exit. Although there is some vague leaked code in the footnotes for the article I’ve linked, and the latter one seems to be complete along with .chm documentation files, so could be a fun little project to build something somewhat functional out of it and maybe write a built-in application to share with a patch file (like with those pre-Symbian Nokia nuggets).
