I can get you a Mint CD key for 15€ or Arch for 2€. DM me.

[-] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 18 points 2 months ago

I get you a LFS one for free, I even pay a camera team do document your process of liberation

[-] RmDebArc_5@sh.itjust.works 35 points 2 months ago

You just have to add „All hail Tux“ to the end of every comment and it should go away in 2-3 business days

Tap for spoilerAll hail Tux

[-] Isoprenoid@programming.dev 20 points 2 months ago

I heard if you say "Tux" three times while staring into a mirror your daily driver turns up dual booted.

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 26 points 2 months ago

Jesus, people, IF YOU LIKE A PIECE OF SOFTWARE, JUST BUY IT!

You have to go to settings and activate linux

[-] Evkob@lemmy.ca 112 points 2 months ago
[-] JustARegularNerd@lemmy.world 21 points 2 months ago

I love that it's also got build instructions for Windows and macOS

[-] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 13 points 2 months ago

I totally need to manually add that Fedora repo, layer it, reboot just to see if it works on KDE Wayland

Exciting!

[-] HouseWolf@lemm.ee 77 points 2 months ago

Shout out to my buddy who has been using an un-activated copy of Win10 for over 5 years despite being called out anytime he shares his screen.

And yes we told him how to but "It doesn't bother him"

[-] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 40 points 2 months ago

You mean, you told him the free and easy github script?

Where can I get the privacy nightmare AI application for Linux? I want it to take screenshots of my computer (in case I want to search it), never really use it, but store the data on my PC unencrypted, thus able to be hacked.

[-] NutWrench@lemmy.zip 32 points 2 months ago
[-] ratemisia@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

I wonder if they'll add this to WSL...

[-] cley_faye@lemmy.world 20 points 2 months ago

Someone made that, sort of. Unfortunately, the privacy nightmare is slightly reduced compared to the original one.

https://github.com/openrecall/openrecall

[-] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

The security nightmare is reduced by a lot, thanks to Linux being a lot more safe system. Of course the occasional very old security issues get found, but those are only old if some swifty hacker found out and didn't disclose it publicly, or had to wait for years to be solved.

[-] fossilesque@mander.xyz 7 points 2 months ago

I tried it to do some research recalls, like set it up for doing very specific things and I found it filled my hard drive pretty fast with screenshots. It's probably a good idea if you can turn it on and off like this one and be careful, but it likely still needs polishing. That was when it was first out.

Backups are important, especially passwords stored on images which is leagues more secure than plain text

[-] michaelmrose@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

If this was actually an open source app with strong privacy settings that you could opt into it might be useful.

[-] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

When I first heard of the MS feature, my first thought was that there's gotta be a more efficient way to do this than taking screen shots and analyzing the image. The window manager has all of that information plus more context (like knowing that these pixels are part of a non-standard window that uses transparency to act like a non-rectangular shape, while this thing that looks like a window is actually an image because the user was looking at someone else's screenshot).

Even better would be integration with the applications themselves; they have even more contextual information than the window manager has.

[-] michaelmrose@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

If it required waiting for apps to provide this integration you would be waiting 10 years for it to mature. There would logically be some benefit to looking at the window before compositing + saving text from none visible windows and avoiding recapturing content which hadn't changed.

[-] AlexisFR@jlai.lu 47 points 2 months ago

Ah yes, the Red Hat experience!

[-] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 36 points 2 months ago

Without RedHat, we wouldnt have Linux in the US governments, no SELinux, no Android security.

I think there is worse than companies selling Linux

[-] BarbecueCowboy@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

I'll thank them when they stop remaking perfectly fine utilities over minor issues then doing a shitty job with compatibility.

Just Red Hat things

[-] ordellrb@lemmy.world 37 points 2 months ago

Distro: "Ubuntu with Bing"

Time to activate Linux with sketchy activation scripts

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 29 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Linux_activation_keygen_v0.1.2.4.exe

[-] Dicska@lemmy.world 18 points 2 months ago

The good old 2000s when you could host and successfully distribute any virus disguised as something popular by slapping a _full, _HD or .rar/zip (or any combination) at the end of the file name.

I used to look up lard bread and there was a hit for lard bread_full.rar on the first page.

[-] toynbee@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I didn't know what lard bread is, so I looked it up.

I discovered it was bread with prosciutto baked in. I thought it sounded unappealing.

Then I thought of "making bacon pancakes" and thought I should open my mind.

edit: added a missing word.

[-] Dicska@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

So the thing is, English is not my first language and I used the wrong word. I guess it's more like greasy bread. Just plain pig fat spread on a slice of bread. But what you just described actually sounds awesome.

[-] Baalial@lemm.ee 10 points 2 months ago

Just a one-liner as root, and you're done.

[-] Shady_Shiroe@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Root account unavailable, you have not activated the premium account for this Linux installation, please activate by purchasing it for a $5 monthly subscription

There's also one for macOS. No idea where.

[-] cygnus@lemmy.ca 19 points 2 months ago

I remember buying Mac OS upgrades. Time for the retirement home, I guess...

[-] Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 2 months ago

And here I am remembering how awesome those multi colored transparent Macs looked back in the day

God I'm old

[-] cygnus@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 months ago

The puck mouse was horrendous, though. My hand still hurts ~25 years later.

[-] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 months ago

The puck mouse is why I’m so good at using keyboard shortcuts. I use vim, btw
