The internet never forgets… your private information.

Back to the Future.

A normal Doc Brown wouldn’t have invented a time machine.

There are 2 types of companies, the ones who have been hacked the the ones which don’t know they’ve already been hacked g about to be hacked.

If you’re curious about the company Clearview AI, check out the book “Your face belongs to us” by Kashmir Hill. It’s an interesting read.

Back in the early days of Win10, an updated messed up my system and I ended up with duplicated icons. Wasn’t happy, but didn’t feel that it was that big of a deal to warrant a full reinstall.

2 years ago I built myself a new desktop and decided to try installing Linux straight away. Haven’t looked back since.

Another big fan of Darknet Diaries.

Ever since Michael Bazzle of Privacy, Security & OSINT stopped doing the podcasts, I’m still trying to find a replacement. Am listening to The Lockdown - Practical Privacy and Security in the mean time.

Also listen to Linux Game Cast.

I have it on my Asus Zenfone 8 too. Sad to tink that my next phone upgrade will likely not have the 3.5mm port anymore. :(

If Apple had kept the 3.5mm port, we’d all probably still be having it on our phones and not have to deal with flimsy adapters.

Bazzite has been smooth sailing about 80% of the time for me. The rest of the 20% were due to either plasma or runner crashing, requiring me to perform a hard reset using the power button. And then it magically atarted working again. I’ve also had my home folder become read-only on occasion. Very strange.

And most other manufacturers too for following the stupid decision to remove the headphone jack.

Wow, what a very detailed response. I’ve only been using Bazzite for about two weeks and still learning about it. Now I have a slightly better understanding of how it all works. 👍

I previously used Nobara but recently switched to Bazzite. I think you can give either of these two a shot. I recall Nobara includes a one button install of nvidia drivers. Not too sure about Bazzite since I have an AMD gpu.

Both these distros are gaming focused. Only difference is Nobara is a traditional distro while Bazzite is atomic desktop based.

Noted. I guess used the wrong definition for Bazzite and that confused me. LOL.

Good to know that /etc is writable. I might have to download it and give it a spin. Thanks for clarifying.

Have not tried immutable distros, but I like the idea that the core OS is read-only to prevent a rookie user from messing things up.

Then again, if the core OS is read-only, is it at all possible to modify some system files like fstab files to auto-load drives?
