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 20 points 2 weeks ago

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

bro careful especially if you're in EU, the CEO of the Linux company himself warned they will go after and bring people into court for using pirated copies

You have to go to settings and activate linux

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

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 weeks ago

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

Exciting!

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"

[–] [email protected] 40 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks 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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks 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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks 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.

Ah yes, the Red Hat experience!

[–] [email protected] 35 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

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

I think there is worse than companies selling Linux

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

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

Time to activate Linux with sketchy activation scripts

[–] [email protected] 29 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

Linux_activation_keygen_v0.1.2.4.exe

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (6 children)

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

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

Don't worry, Linux doesn't even mind at this point. ;)

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

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

God I'm old

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