I don’t understand, how is yunohost not selfhosting ?
this is going to sound like gatekeeping, because it is.
yunohost allows anyone that couldn’t find the difference between /dev/null and their asshole the ability to deploy services on hardware. be it locally or remote VPC.
everything about that goes against the tenants that created the selfhost movement.
it also causes problems when those same ignorant “hosters” reach out to the community for help and again, can’t comprehend the technical nature of the issue at hand. they are akin to a plant that requires too much water and too much sun in the garden, and I generally pluck them out and toss them into the mulch pile.
that said, I’m sure there’s plenty of people who use yuno that have a technical background but lack the time/effort to DIY. my issue isn’t with them.
That’s why I have disabeled it for vim. Infact I disabled mouse support alltogether.
I agree completely
on the plus side, when the my butt bubble pops, hardware will be soooooo cheap
do NOT open SMB to the internet. You will get crypto’d in minutes. Just a warning for any newbs coming here.
I used to think that people were massively overreacting about all this
Genuine question, why? What proof is there that companies like this don’t do these things when given an inch of leeway?
The question can go the other way as well; what proof does people have that Discord is outright lying in their communication? All the communication indicates that they have actually taken steps to minimize the privacy impact. Importantly using local processing and only storing if it’s successful or not, even if that means that it can likely be bypassed (important web dev rule, never trust the client side).
Now introducing the Persona system is very concerning, and also a reason I don’t think it’s an overreaction anymore. Even if they claim they only save the data for longer than 7 days, the connection to Palantir and Peter Thiel is extremely troubling and erodes the trust. I mean it comes down to me not trusting them as much as Discord.
To expand on your question on why they wouldn’t be as evil as possible, it comes down to whether or not you believe that all developers and product managers are evil or not. I have worked for a decade for a few IT heavy companies and yeah, there are shit going on, but it’s mostly due to laziness, or product managers wanting numbers and pretty graphs of user behaviors (when it comes to privacy and data sharing).
The leak of the 70k UK identities is an interesting case. It’s often framed as if the processor was hacked but it was actually the normal support system where they handled appeals. The real mistake was that Discord didn’t properly think through appeal handling and it is probably attributable to a mistake/laziness then intentional malice.
Of course a bit different for the macro social networks, whose primary income stream is selling ads and they want to build behavior profiles because that allows them to argue that advertisers get more value out of their platform. The point I want to make is that your real name and photo doesn’t actually have any value for the companies, because they already do have everything they need from your activity. It does have risks and liabilities though if nothing else due to GDPR.
still using apt? try winget instead!
Usee those lips for something worth while and suck my dick instead of yapping
Then make a better alternative. You obviously “haven’t drunk the koolaid”.
“Write the code I want, free of charge, in your own time. I demand it. Recognition for your efforts? Nah, I won’t even know of you, but if anything ever goes wrong, I will find your repo and complain about how Microslop did it better with hundreds of engineers!”
That’s what you sound like. If you don’t contribute code, money, documentation, detailed bug reports, community guidance, moderating, etc., then IMO, that opinion is worthless.
Devs aren’t your code monkeys, shackled to computers to do your bidding. A lot of thankless, unpaid time went into writing most of opensource code out there. To sit there and demand options is, to me, appallingly ignorant behaviour.
I contributed money, translations and properly filed bug reports to various open-source projects. But I don’t think people who don’t shouldn’t speak out. Being unhappy with a certain change signals the direction for the devs to make their code better.
Besides, KDE is no hobby project; it’s a nonprofit with full-time workers on a wage. Nonprofits are always kept to a high standard of accountability, and are resilient enough to turn negative feedback into directions for growth. It is in part this feedback that led it to develop the best DE out there.
Exactly
As someone who relies on systemd, but wants to have alternatives:
While it is good othat other login managers will still be able to start Plasma, making the default new login manager reliant on systemd is bad. It means that non-standard installations of KDE will now require more manual labor to make it work just right. And while installing sddm is not big of a hassle, this sets a precedent that can later be expanded, making it a death by a thousand cuts for everything that dares not use systemd in its operation.
