Rust output is bad? I feel like it’s one of the best in terms of telling you where you got things wrong. Nix output when you accidentally get infinite recursion is so bad.

Come to think of it, Nix fits all three better than Rust.

I don’t quite see how AI assisted searching would be different in terms of privacy from normal search engine from the searcher’s perspective. Biggest issue with AI in the context of privacy is that it gets trained on a lot of personal data and can also be used to deanonymise when used against others. The only kind of information you would give away to the third party uniquely in AI search engine (I think) would be your speech pattern if you are having a conversation with it instead of simply typing in keywords. Duck.AI claims to ensure your data is not used to train the AI, but there’s no way to verify if the AI provider is holding up that promise. Still it’s a good choice since you don’t have to log in.

Accuracy is not very relevant in privacy, so it would depend almost solely on what you choose as your provider.

If I were to use one, I would choose whichever you can use without logging in, and gives reasonably accurate information.

journalctl -o short-precise -k -b -1 shows you kernel messages from last boot, this should be a good start.

• Games, though it’s more of a game company issue. I like Apex Legends.

• Microsoft Office stuff. Every now and then I need to make a presentation, and LibreOffice Impress to Microsoft PowerPoint isn’t that good. I resort to Google Slides for now.

• Cursor trails. I tried making it myself until I stumbled on the concept of hardware cursor. I still want to do it, but man, putting an image where your pointer is at is harder than I thought. So much more if you’re on Wayland apparently.

• (Lack of) general ecosystem fragmentation. I still don’t understand why I can’t paste image that is clearly present in both xclip and wl-paste over Remmina. It does work if I open LibreOffice Draw, paste it there, then copy it back, and paste it in Remmina. Emacs on Xorg is blurry and requires xwayland-satellite but smooth, and Emacs GTK is sharp but stuttery.

I don’t really see a point in rotating your VPN provider regularly; It would cost more, make you stand out more, and unless you are putting significant delay between switches, it wouldn’t hide much.

If not trusting whoever is handling your traffic is a must, I would honestly just use Tor, preferably in Tails really.

Their website (https://coveryourtracks.eff.org/learn) do mention the concern you have; Blocking trackers means you are a user with a very specific privacy settings. I suppose it would be like going around with a full face mask; You are technically private, but you are uniquely identifiable unless someone else does that. I also get “Uniquely Identifiable” on my personalised browser, but nothing like it when I try it out on newly installed Mullvad browser with no changes.

Not that I know much about how Tor traffic is identified, but Tor bridges seems like a potential solution? I would dig into that a bit more.

True, but I think that’s the best you can get. Lemmy itself isn’t very thriving compared to Reddit in the first place. It would have been a lot better if multiple communities could share a post cross-instance, but we don’t have that.

Come to think of it, does Lemmy support flares? I think having a flare for niche stuff would help a lot in terms of discoverability without splitting the community.

I don’t think any form of rework on voting system would work; everyone has their own criteria, and it won’t always make sense to everyone. Preventing upvotes/downvotes would just be a hindrance, and it also opens up a way to manipulate votes to however mods want.

One solution would be to have a community dedicated to discussions so that they have a chance to appear at the top.

I know Hasleo WinToUSB allows you to install Windows on a USB stick. I have personally tested it with Windows 10 and it worked well, but I have not tested it with Windows 11 (but they claim that it works) or Lockdown Browser. You can try their free version which has manual partitioning and BitLocker behind a paywall.

Kvaesitso. It’s the only FOSS app I found that supports folders within the drawer. Well, at least it was the closest thing to it; You can select a tag and apps with that tag is shown to you. I really don’t like how most launchers treats app drawer like a app dump. I miss the folder feature in Nova launcher.

Too socially prevalent. Most people know about this change, but they still use the old one. Anything official are now using the standard age, though.

Anyone born on Jan 1st stays one year old for the whole year since people gain age every time the year changes. This does mean that a person can be born on Dec 31st, and be two year old next day.

It’s just <Number>살 for us. The way the age is counted is a bit different. If you were using the standard way of calculating the age, you add 만 in front of it.

I don’t think Lemmy ever claimed they’re decentralised, because it has a specific meaning that sets itself apart from being federated, and Lemmy certainly isn’t decentralised.

The whole freedom of federation comes from the fact that if you don’t like something, you’re free to set up your own stuff and do it there. In practice, it doesn’t work that well as advertised especially for something like Lemmy, which creates an additional layer of isolation (communities) within itself, but it requires a large group of people in a single community to work. I think Lemmy needs a way to '“merge” communities across instance.

I just write everything down. If I forget it in the next session, I repeat it again. The idea is that you eventually end up remembering them.

He could, but he documents a lot of stuff including artifacts, so it just makes more sense to do all on a single machine. Also plays LoL.

He’s a Windows security researcher. I felt dumb.

I haven’t come across a single program that tells you what is blocking the ejection even in Linux. Sure, if you use the right tools you can find the culprit, but the program that does the ejection task seems to love being vague.

I don’t think I’ve seen a single distro that ships Korean support right off the bat, except HarmoniKR. Because of the way Korean works, it’s not just the keyboard layout support you need. To list the things you need to do:

• Install Fcitx5.
• Install Korean Fcitx5 input method. Probably named something like fcitx-hangul. Without it, Hangul keyboard will not appear in Fcitx.
• Check what 한/영 key really does. This is necessary because depending on the hardware, it either emits Hangul key, or Right Alt. If it emits Hangul, then you can skip this. If not, make sure you remap Right Alt to Hangul, because then the key triggers Alt action every time language is swapped. Those usually steal input, so it is really annoying.
• Add both Hangul keyboard (not Korean) and English keyboard in Fcitx5 config. Korean keyboard does not enter Korean characters. It’s the Hangul keyboard that actually enters Korean characters. It probably corresponds to Korean keyboard’s English input. It should look something like this.
• Add Hangul key as Enumerate Input Method Forward option in Fcitx config under Global Options tab.

I will attach my files in ~/.config/fcitx5. These two should go under that directory, and not ~/.config/fcitx.
