    No, nothing taken to heart. I also hate bloat, like W11 (for work) is barely usable…so much janky garbage, and I have to keep deleting Ai.exe and aimgr.DLL from certain folders.

    I just don’t care about boot since I have a fanless case, with a system that is on 24/7, and the systems that do boot is basically: hit power on and adjust mouse/pad while it boots and it’s ready to go.

    I did try about 10-15 distros on a 2010 laptop till I found one that was super quick on that hardware.

    Turns out NixOS with gnome was super responsive compared to NiXOS with KDE. People say GNOME is heavy, but because it does so much memory prefetch it was super responsive on a 15 year old CPU since cached memory was being used rather than KDE loading as you go.

    I don’t get that as a problem, my systems are systemd and boot is 10s, and shutdown is 8s. And that’s not a super highend machine.

    Let’s say you get a 5 second boot? So what , what will you gain in 5 seconds. You aren’t running critical military intelligence network or something.












  • The what’s app is encrypted to get to your phone so transmission is protected, however to view your message it is unencrypted (obvious) and at that stage WhatsApp will parse it for key stuff such as Child Sexual stuff, or other threats they have determined they look for, that then triggers a data send back to the mother ship. The problem with this is if the Government wants to silence a political opponent or journalist they can go to Meta and request a search other than CSAM. So end to end encryption via any META product is a joke




  • The software locks out the auto discover and auto config of attached devices, unless they are in an allow list.

    Same like some android phone models where you can turn off USB port to protect your phone from being infiltrated.

    I did work at a place that filled the USB ports with HotGlue to stop workers loading movies on the computers on night shift
