Honestly i believe there is no point in speculating whether there are backdoors installed in popular privacy and encryption apps; for all we know, the powers that are may already have a digital fortress'esque quantum computer decrypting everything from your signal messages to onion sites in a matter of seconds.
I think(my personal headcanon) that there probably was a Manhattan project like top secret research project that has yielded some very fruitful results, now i guess we have to just wait for some whistleblower or a disgruntled employee to feed it a file that blows it up.

Does Tor have no protection against such a simple attack? I always thought any clearnet address i type in the browser (along with the dns query) hops 3 times.
arstechnica.com
All the recent dark net arrests seem to be pretty vague on how the big bad was caught (except the IM admin's silly opsec errors) In the article they say he clicked on a honeypot link, but how was his ip or any other identifier identified, why didnt tor protect him. Obviously this guy in question was a pedophile and an active danger, but recently in my country a state passed a law that can get you arrested if you post anything the government doesnt like, so these tools are important and need to be bulletproof.

No before i passed the custom EDID it showed up as "Unknown display" and letter-boxed the entire display, limiting my resolution to 640x480 and 1366x768
Edit: Solved, while changing EDID make sure to remove the old module first and reinstall it with the new EDID I have a faulty DP to HDMI adapter, that unfortunately never seems to parse the EDID data, so while connecting to a TV I used this [guide](https://foosel.net/til/how-to-override-the-edid-data-of-a-monitor-under-linux/) and a 1920x1080.bin file from the internet and it worked, but unfortunately I was unable to use the TV speakers(I guessed the EDID file didn't specify that the device had audio out) Using a separate pc I extracted my TVs EDID.bin file and repeated the steps but unfortunately, it just doesn't work, its stuck on the old 1920x1080.bin(I can tell because it shows up as 'Linux Foundation 23'') The issue persists even after I delete the old .bin file from `/usr/lib/firmware/edid` I am using wayland System info: ``` OS: Fedora Linux 40 (Workstation Editi Host: TECRA R940 PT439V-03U02WAR Kernel: 6.8.11-300.fc40.x86_64 Uptime: 29 mins Packages: 2209 (rpm), 32 (flatpak) Shell: bash 5.2.26 Resolution: 1920x1080 DE: GNOME 46.2 WM: Mutter WM Theme: Adwaita Theme: Adwaita [GTK2/3] Icons: Adwaita [GTK2/3] Terminal: gnome-terminal CPU: Intel i7-3540M (4) @ 3.700GHz GPU: AMD ATI Radeon HD 7550M/7570M/765 Memory: 1998MiB / 7879MiB ``` Dmesg -H ``` [Jun20 22:26] Linux version 6.8.11-300.fc40.x86_64 (mockbuild@f09cc32e12c24ed6a1a66c2a2e9f1728) (gcc (GCC) 14.1.1 20240522 (Red Hat 14.1.1-4), GNU ld version 2.41-37.fc40) #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Mon May 27 14:53:33 UTC 2024 [ +0.000000] Command line: BOOT_IMAGE=(hd0,gpt2)/vmlinuz-6.8.11-300.fc40.x86_64 root=UUID=XXXXX ro rootflags=subvol=root rhgb quiet drm.edid_firmware=DP-2:edid/sony.bin ``` Any help is appreciated

So what you are saying is most standard Linux software expect a windows layout? What about apps like Gimp, FireFox, and LibreOffice? and are there any outliers you know of?
Artemis_Mystique 7 months ago • 60%
What is a good price range to look into?
What is your personal preference based on experience? I Assume because Mac is Unix and Linux is Unix based, it would be more suited, but I have no personal experience with the layout. I am willing to try something new if i hear enough merits for it, and I also find the windows layout somewhat inadequate(The grass is greener on the other side /s) I dailydrive Gnome, I am not a programmer, but i am a power user (On a tangent: Why is gnome so restrictive, it feels like its missing a ton of UI features that are trivial without a boatload of 3rd party extensions that break every update; why doesn't Win+Shift+number launch a new instance, every other DE does, why doesn't it?; I don't use KDE because I just don't like it, I feel Gnome could be way more if it just natively integrated the extensions ). aesthetically the windows key annoys me and i hate putting stickers on keyboards; I like how the mac layout looks(My very minimal experience with an in store mac-book has cautioned me away from the fisher-price OS so i don't know if it is intuitive to use)

you don’t even need to wait for “AI” chips, “just” a high-end GPU will do
Not everyone wants or can afford an expensive GPU, meanwhile the new AMD 8000G series looks highly compelling and I was just curious whether there are any roadmaps to productively incorporate their use on the Linux desktop in a similar way to what M$ is pushing with co-pilot(Obviously without the corporate surveillance)
If your Cool AI tool requires me to always connect to the internet and agree to a concerning EULA and privacy policies; i think i can live without it

I was thinking more along the lines of something that is application agnostic i.e If it is on your display, the tool can grab it
With modern CPU's supposedly shipping with 'AI cores': How long do you think it will take for a proper opensource, privacy respecting productivity tools(Something like whatever M$ copilot is supposed to be?) to be available? Personally, i would love to see something like 'Passive' OCR integrated with the display server: the ability to pause any video and just select whatever text(even handwritten) there is naturally like it was a text document without any additional hassle will be really useful `Also useful in circumventing any blocks certain websites put on articles to prevent text from being copied` Or an AI grammar checker running natively for LibreOffice. What are some AI tools you think should be developed for desktop Linux?

I use fedora on a 11ish year old laptop(It had decent [specs](https://pastebin.com/MCJfj9UP) for its time). recently i encountered an issue while playing a 11 hour webm video(celluloid flatpak) i had downloaded off youtube, the screen froze, I could still hear the video sound playing, but the system wasn't responding to any keyboard presses(Wouldnt switch over to TTY2-4), I had heard about REISUB and tried it, but it obviously didnt work, after about 2:30 mins the system unfroze and i was shuffled Across numerous TTY's and the video closed as i had invoked `CLTRL+Q` I am not here for a resolution to my problem `The issue is reproducible by loading numerous instances of videos whose combined watch time Exceeds about 7-8 hours` **I am more curious as to why SYSRQ is disabled and are there any consequences in enabling it(Security Wise)?**

The best LTT video i have seen in a while; It has everything - New and emerging experimental tech - Showing off progress in opensource standards - Nice Eli5 on what this is, why is it important, who are the stakeholders and what this means for the future - Linux - classic ltt humor and jank(they got euro truck simulator working on RISC-V running linux FFS) - all nicely polished and presented. Unfortunately by the time it took to get this video out the algorithm had already penalized them for missing their regular upload schedule as evidenced by such a low view count; its a shame i really like their content(especially the newer videos which have a good coat of polish) but it seems like they will either have to go back to their rapid upload schedule or come up with a new format that is commercially profitable and critically satisfactory.
