FastVPN is known for astroturfing online communities, which has serious ethics implications, and brings into questioning what they’re willing to do with the VPN data. Educated users know not to use FastVPN.

Wasn’t FastVPN caught holding user logs and selling personal data to advertisement agencies?

Thanks for the ChatGPT paste

Does anyone here run Cosmic DE full time? Does it have any killer features?

How much do you tolerate before switching sides? Think about Windows vs Linux. People don’t switch.

Once you are ready to go public though you need to be stable and secure

Is that really true though? If you have a product people actually want, they’ll use it regardless of bugs

Going slow doesn’t mean you don’t break things either. If you don’t want to break things, you need test plans, logging and alerts

How would Gopher side step this?

You don’t need to go to the hospital for a sprained ankle

And the other side was in power for 4 years but did nothing to prevent this from happening

If they didn’t be awkward about it, no one would have known who they are

Sorry but I like the drip

ew /s but I feel gross even writing that

1. I can afford good clothes now
2. High quality clothes last a long time
3. Having a Ubuntu shirt is a good conversation starter
4. I would rather have a Tux logo than a Nike one
5. Giving 5$ to KDE makes gives me the false sense of real contribution to the project

Don’t worry, we’ll put it in the textbooks 100 years from now to talk about how cruel we were

Rest in peace, Windows 7

Librewolf is cancer for regular use

From what I understand, xorg has fundamental security flaws. How will they remedy this?

They won’t. Don’t download random shit and if you’re worried, run it in Flatpak

What happens when the Linux kernel drops support for xorg? Do they intend to fork an older version of the kernel in order to keep support?

Not really possible, since X11 is only built on top of the kernel’s graphical interface (same as Wayland). Even if that wasn’t the case, the kernel doesn’t delete any code that anybody uses (that’s why 30 year old programs still run)

The first comment on the request

For the sake of all of our sanity, I’d really appreciate if FESCo could decide on this one really quickly (e.g. putting out a statement) and avoid what could be a most unpleasant flame-fest on this mailing list.

I’m old enough to remember when this was about NK

It depends where you are and what you’re renewing. Lots of these things (photos/fingerprints/etc) may be optional. Research beforehand, talk with the staff, express your concerns, be polite, and see which parts you can opt out.
