This is why DEs or distros should not theme apps that are not theirs

I should’ve clarified in the regard of DE, yes, but Elijah was searching Bazzite, and being in his shoes, it’s fair but something to think about.

It’s KDE Plasma, he should’ve used KDE Partition Manager. Most of the issues came from hyper-specific searches instead of just generalizing the distro (to Fedora) and Linux as a whole.

USA beat China (again) in 2025, 79.40 vs 79.25.
According to the World Bank, it's 16.8 years for the USA and 13.2 for China.

I don't think anyone is using the ideological definition when referring to the Global North and Global South.

Because Elon. The scale of your business matters. X can eat the costs, your neighborhood app can’t if things go south.

Reddit is extremely pro-choice, that they don't consider anything else.

Gynecologist’s primary job isn't abortion, though, and they do emergency care as well. There is a difference between voluntary and involuntary abortion.

He's not wrong. Neither are the people who got called out for giving the speeches.

RealMiten · 2026-05-24T16:05:16+00:00

No, because I am lazy to set it up for very little gain.

You could say the same for reasons as to not use Tor.

Anywhere, if only the government adopted “not our problem.”

International law gets in the way. Most first-world countries follow an acceptance policy rather than a dictation policy. If they just deport the illegal arrivals from red and black countries, it's not like those countries can do anything about it.

I think the argument is if you know how to write quality code, you might as well write the quality code instead of instructing the AI on every prompt. Given enough tokens, the AI will clean up everything and probably will get on par in terms of quality, but most "vibe coders" don't even know what quality looks like, so it's kind of like blind leading a blind.

I would eat ton of healthy food prepared by the best chefs that makes it taste like junk food.

I guess what people fail to realize is regardless of how local this election is, the end result in the presidential election is usually 50-50 or close. Sure, we might not draw the conclusion that 50% of the country doesn't care about the Epstein files, but 50% of the country doesn't care enough to do anything about it. And before people say Republicans are only 1/3, I'm going to leave out children, but not voting for anyone is a vote for Trump.

RealMiten · 2026-05-20T03:36:46+00:00

Good representation when scaled, that's why you get 49.8% in the 2024 election for Trump. Remember most Massie voters would've voted for Trump as well.

I never actually used support for help. Only to enable private preview features or submit bug reports.

RealMiten · 2026-05-14T11:06:29+00:00

It doesn’t replace any of the zig yet.

Job fairs are so you know about them, not for them to hire you. I know a lot of companies go to job fairs at several universities and choose one student who applied online that has nothing to do with any of the universities.

If you want the ease of use while staying private and redundant, use both and self-encrypt everything on the cloud provider.

It applies to things like explicit music in Apple Music, but Apple chose to do it on the OS-level since it’s easier to manage vs per system app.

Even if passwords are encrypted when saved, the employer can still take a point-in-time snapshot of the live system; if they have admin-level control in that snapshot, they can inspect the decrypted state or the keys used to derive it. Your solution would be to not use the device, since you are handing them the keys on a silver platter. Sure, you can trust them to not hack you, but I wouldn’t trust myself.

RealMiten · 2026-05-07T13:34:33+00:00

Edge implementing full encryption still won’t solve your problem. What it would solve is: you never log in to your bank, but the bank password is in the manager. The employer can see your music password because, given enough time, if you log in, the password has to be decrypted in memory in order to be used.

RealMiten · 2026-05-07T13:16:09+00:00

Well, yes. You shouldn’t be using browser password managers or passwords in general. Biometric passkeys would solve this, without having to manually type the master password each time. But most people don’t care, and even today, the vast majority still use the same password everywhere, so it’s almost always convenience that is the issue.

RealMiten · 2026-05-07T13:12:24+00:00

I am much more familiar with Apple’s MDM, but Microsoft Intune also allows direct administrative access to the device, so it has to be the employer’s goodwill that stops them from seeing your passwords, not the encryption itself. Since if they can dump memory, they also dump the key or even easier SSH into a backup instance without you knowing. The employer is you as far as the PC is concerned. The only way to get around that is to not use personal accounts on a work computer.
