Not very clear to me that this is any more valuable than OG NixOS.

This sounds a lot like the forgejo vs gitea fork. I love the forgejo people but I am yet to see a sufficient differentiator.

Any interesting findings or tl;dr?

How does it compare to XFCE

Iran excels in cheap weaponry, threw a bunch of them at Israel, overwhelming their systems by shear number, and costing billions to shoot them down.

Israel does not care because US pays the bill. US doesn't care because taxpayer pays the bill. The taxpayer does not care because they think they can make the country better by voting, while the system slaves them away 40+ hours a week to serve the safety of a genocidal state.

Would be funny if the world finally gets motivated to save the planet from climate change only so that the genocidal state can continue genociding in peace.

I hope Israel does not use this as pretext for escalation. Wouldn't be surprising if the genocidal state pursues this.

I had no idea about this project. Is it like a better search engine for libgen etc?

Uploading like... Torrents?

Given they mention arch and gentoo, I suppose they intend it as a daily driver / desktop.

Would you show the same skepticism against US official statements, CNN or BBC?

When I thought about this question, I decided to ditch both sudo and doas entirely. I am certain this is an unpopular opinion, but I preferred setting up a granular permission + user system instead, and keeping root privileges for only a handful of use cases (primarily for system updates and package installations).

For anything else, a dedicated user is created, and given only permissions to do that exact thing only. Many of these users have no shell access at all, and for the ones that do, I use a password manager so I don't have to memorize passwords for all of these users.

I agree. It is not in any way a main reason. But it is a data point about how the west does not like a social media app that is not within their complete control.

I daily drive wayland with nvidia and I play games modestly. I have Xorg installed as backup for when issues happen, but it's been pretty rare in the last couple months.

Honestly even Reddit is better. Reddit still has a r/piracy

Then I suppose I am looking for a download resources that aren't repacks, or at least aren't so heavy and convoluted on the way they pack.

What I liked about fitgirl is the reputation. A resource I can trust and quality is consistent.

Is there an alternative to fitgirl that doesn't have the long uncompress / unpack times? I love that fitgirl has everything and is a trusted source, but the decompression takes too long and sometimes doesn't even work on Linux.

For what it's worth, I have only minor issues on wayland with nvidia, and all were fixable by changing some configuration option or something.

Maybe my demands aren't too heavy, but I do play games. I also use gentoo which makes fixing things easier.

Thanks, that's what I was thinking. Are there better alternatives?

I'm skeptical of Signal's centralized model and its couple with Google services, among other things.

What about information like: who are the people I message, or the list of all group chats or public channels I am in? Is that encrypted?
