KDE for best fully integrated, out of box, modern DE.

XFCE + Compiz if you’re running on lower end hardware (uses less ram and utilizes gpu better). Also if you want even more customization than KDE with the drawback of limited SVG support (and still on X11 if that matters for you)

GNOME if you hate yourself and want to use a knockoff of ChromeOS or Mac.

Cinnamon and MATE if you want to see when GNOME used to be good.

LXQt is the XFCE equivalent of KDE, but is now on wayland with GPU accel, so it can fit the same area as XFCE+Compiz.

Wayfire (compositor) basically Compiz for Wayland if you want all the fancy effects on anything that uses wayland.

The news from only a day ago is already out of date wow.

People thought this was gonna be some extended situation but they really did sweep in only a matter of days.

5th most populous country in the world with practically zero western coverage about the citizens fighting the army and the government.

But when an actual populist was in office every dick wad at NYT and CNN couldn’t shut the fuck up about Imran Khan being some right wing conservative anti semite who criticized US policy.

ITT: Braindeads defending government censorship of the internet as if Zuckerberg won’t immediately replace the void with his own platform or by buying out TikTok in a bid.

Banning one platform would not magically get rid of short attention span and brainrot you fools. Every social media company already copied or utilizes the same techniques as TikTok, which is already a massive platform because they don’t spam ban or regulate content as hard as Facebook and YouTube do.

It is insulting that a Chinese run social media platform provides more freedom of speech online than its US competitors.

They’re banning it to remove competition, congress does not care about its effects on privacy or health, otherwise they’d have done something about Faceebook, Insta, Twiiter, and YouTube decades ago. They pulled their usual committee shenanigans to pretend to care by calling in CEOs to testify, and then promptly accepting a shitload of lobbying money.

Are you implying we should firewall free internet like china?

The TPM is not a dedicated cryptographic processor, it’s an external keystore with a few select functions. You’re thinking of an HSM which is used almost exclusively in servers that have to handle thousands of secrets per second.

CPUs have had dedicated AES hardware for decades which is why LUKS and Bitlocler use it by default.

The TPM just allows certain keys and secrets to be generated and stored physically separate from the CPU as a security measure.

Bitlocker and LUKS will store a master key in the TPM so that you don’t have to enter a password every time you boot. They retrieve it from the TPM and then use it to unlock the actual encryption key which is done entirely in the CPU. If the TPM detects foul play such as secure boot alteration, it will refuse to give the key or clear itself.

Using the TPM for constant encryption like at rest disk encryption would be way too slow.

It’s so so small that most modern TPMs have been integrated into the CPU or even simulated via the motherboard firmware (fTPM and PTT).

I still fail to see how windows 11 was anything but a collusion scam to sell new hardware.

None of the changes including TPM requirements required a new iteration. Nothing about the underlying NT dropped any of the old and antiquated BS despite Microsoft hiring some morons to advertise the fact on reddit to all the insiders asking questions.

They even let the media pick up a fake report that Windows 11 was related to the Core OS and a brand new kernel was in the works.

If Microsoft wanted a marketing strategy, they could have properly started naming feature updates and adverising them similar to Apple.

8, 10, and 11 have also been a pain on enterprise because Microsoft axed their QA team. I seriously hope any new firms start considering linux desktop as a valid option. All they really need is a vendor to offer a solid distro along with an agreement to rapidly create/deploy any software solution so they don’t get scared looking at the cheap entry windows stuff.

Sometimes I wish someone would make a an Arch box and come back to it years later to see the updates it has missed.

But that’s assuming an Arch box would be reliable enough to stay alive that long lol.

Always heard of 20+ year old bsd and debian machines chugging along with no issue.

And now we sit back and watch everyone in this thread who shat on 3rd party for “wasting votes” throwing around stupid takes like:

• Erm RCV will prevent this from being viable, we should just try to fix the Democrat party instead
• Working class people don’t have the time and money to make a grassroots movement. Clearly we need PAC money to win because that worked so well for Kamala and Clinton
• PAC money is superior to actual constituents and voters
• 4 years isn’t enough for a new party to work, we need to vote Democrat first to kick the Republicans out before we do anything else
• 3rd party would only affect the Democrats and split them up

The Fedora doc on this is a bit old but it’s still mostly the same:

Secure boot activates a lock-down mode in the Linux kernel which disables various features kernel functionality:

• Loading kernel modules that are not signed by a trusted key.
• Using kexec to load an unsigned kernel image.
• Hibernation and resume from hibernation.
• User-space access to physical memory and I/O ports.
• Module parameters that allow setting memory and I/O port addresses.
• Writing to MSRs through /dev/cpu/*/msr.
• Use of custom ACPI methods and tables.

The implementation of secure boot is still questionable to this day, but it is understandable that it doesn’t always play nice with Linux. I do believe you can use hibernate now as long as you have an encrypted swap (LUKS).

I can definitely see the pain if you happen to be a kernel dev or use linux on any SBC with IO ports you want to mess with in userspace and not make en entire overkill kernel module for.

The main thing they are trying to do is make it more difficult to find this stuff via google, which tbh is still easy without reddit.

But even Switch homebrew has been a pain. Most of it is one off software made years ago because no sane dev wanted to actually keep up with all the firmware releases and limited control of CFW. Github/Gitlab repos keep getting banned left and right for tools not even related to piracy.

3DS has full fledged apps with teams behind everything and HShop which makes it very easy for everyone. Switch still doesn’t have a definitive method of handling NSP/XCIs, and all the auto download internet repos are invite only to hide from Nintendo.

I’m really hoping someone finds some serious hardware bypass in their next console after what they did to the emulation scene. They really deserve to go through the insane R4 piracy age all over again for nuking everything online.

I’m surprised they’re even bothering to make a deal out of this considering putting any sort of stance against Israel would be in direct opposition to the USA, which literally every other country has refused to do out of fear or collusion.

Not to mention the ICC really only functions when someone either loses or is kicked out of their own country. People made a big deal of no one arresting Putin as if anyone was actually going to take on Russia by themselves by arresting Putin.

It depends. Physical borders may only photograph traffic for security purposes, no dedicated exit gate. Usually its the entry country that records your crossing, which they may or may not share with the other country.

I’m pretty sure TSA does record people exiting internationally though because people have been caught leaving after an arrest warrant has been issued, even if they made it past TSA onto the flight and into the air. TSA will know immediately if you checked in or boarded your flight.

goto post history and see that they are making posting comments/replies every 60 seconds.

even before ChatGPT, reddit was basically a practice site for bot account farming because it had basically zero restrictions and defenses against bots.

the problem is reddit is also filled with braindead karma hoarders and they also tend to act in similar ways. However they usually go for the bigger bang per buck types posts like picture bait and crossposting, and don’t interact with threads/comments as much.

Obama and Hillary also had fun with warcrimes in Afghanistan of which they hunted Assange for 15 years for revealing to the public.

They didn’t hold back Israel because of some moral requirement, it was simply a measured option that Obama took which he believed was the most beneficial to Washington’s interests at the time. He could have easily gone the other way had there been more at stake.

If Kamala really planned to do different, she would have said it during her campaign. She didn’t and made it clear she was going to continue Biden’s policy.

She made it quite clear that she had no interest in listening to the uncommitted movement, and the conjured up argument about her needing PAC money more than votes has been proven false because she lost every single swing state.

Her campaign decided it was worth losing votes to protect Israel, and that allowing Trump to win was not a major problem

take some low risk loans and package them together to increase yield

trade packages with investors and banks

put those packages into huge CDOs, then make CDOs of CDOs, then essentially gamble on the value of said CDOs

morbillion dollars achieved

run out of low risk loans to package

Yolo, let’s just put all the loans in, what could possibly go wrong lol

8% of the poor plebs go delinquent on their predatory loans

2008 financial crash

lobby congress to bail you out so you get paid, tell everyone it was the fault of immigrants and poor people

repeat

Yes I’m sure the 4 settlers Biden sanctioned for 3 weeks, definitely threw a wrench into Israel’s plan of overtaking the west bank.

It’ll totally be because Trump takes office and not because settlers didn’t just get 14 months of free land grabbing with zero repercussions on top of their yearly land stealing antics ever since Israel’s inception.

Jokes on you the political content here is from the redditors who pretended to quit their award fueled addiction by also joining lemmy.

Seriously though, compare c/Politics to c/Worldnews or c/News. There is a very large dissonance between the comments shared despite both communities posting the same news info…

I thought it was already fairly well established that symmetric encryption is not something that a quantum computer could potentially crack, only asymmetric encryption is theoretically possible due to its use of a prime order field.

Shor’s algorithm is a quantum algorithm for finding the prime factors of an integer. It was developed in 1994 by the American mathematician Peter Shor.[1][2] It is one of the few known quantum algorithms with compelling potential applications and strong evidence of superpolynomial speedup compared to best known classical (non-quantum) algorithms

a quantum computer with a sufficient number of qubits could operate without succumbing to quantum noise and other quantum-decoherence phenomena, then Shor’s algorithm could be used to break public-key cryptography schemes, such as

• The RSA scheme
• The Finite Field Diffie-Hellman key exchange
• The Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman key exchange

Moreover:

The largest number reliably factored by Shor’s algorithm is 21 which was factored in 2012 (ie faster than a regular computer, the much higher records like 48 bit utilized pre and post processing and was faster on a regular computer).

Even if we go with the assumption that the military is 10 years ahead in technology and can factor 221 with Shor’s, that’s still nowhere near enough to break RSA. Much more efficient to attack all the systemic flaws in RSA, hence why 1024 is no longer considered secure, 2048 is assumed to be breakable by any 3 letter agency, 4096 is assumed to be safe (for now), but mostly the latest and greatest is elliptical ECDSA/Ed25519 (of which NIST has been accused of rigging ECDSA for easier cracking lol).
