Lutris + wineprefixes works great but most of the time it’s harder to configure and needs some search around the web to get it right !
Non-steam games with proton on steam works like nearly every time without to much hassle (if supported) !!
If you’re afraid of your account ban, create a dummy steam account only for your pirated games.
Yeah, specially in the US where money rules the actual debate. If you don’t have a few millions to spare on a fancy election parade… Don’t even bother.
That’s way politics is the war of the rich and why all multi billion dollar companies feel safe in the US.
If you’re tired of python’s and venv issues, give miniconda a try. It solved most of my issues with dependencies and different python version in scripts.
It’s probably a skill issue regarding to pip/pipx/venv… But miniconda really made everything easier.
What about exFAT? It overcomes FAT32’s limitation and is nearly readable on every OS and has way higher file size limits.
Edit: In case of external storage like USB/hard drive.
Hahaha… What a stupid take. Yeah scientific research isn’t biased and hasn’t been poisoned by conflict of interest… never has been and never will I guess? Scientific research is the ultimate truth of wisdom and you don’t need your own critical thinking anymore 😮💨 (Yeah the tobacco industry was right, smoking is healthy !)
when the researchers themselves are saying the work isn’t over. why are all the super geniuses in this thread so smugly announcing this topic is wrapped up?
It’s better to be safe than sorry
Edit:
Therefore, the fact that no evidence for large-scale mobile eavesdropping has been found so far should not be interpreted as an all-clear. It could only mean that it is difficult – under current circumstances perhaps even impossible – to detect such attacks effectively.

Scientific enough?
76 up’s / 68 down’s on OP’s post.
It’s very close, still the majority wins, that’s how it works, if not happy change the system not the voters.
Maybe not 24x7 but this did happened and people have reported it multiple times. If you really think those multi-billion dollars companies are not capable of or won’t do anything so sketchy because it’s not “worth it”, then it’s time to open your mind to the possibility that those companies are not your friends.
Hello !
Version 6.1.1 (250) arm64-v8a https://f-droid.org/en/packages/chat.simplex.app/ https://f-droid.org/repo/chat.simplex.app_250.apk
Here’s the analysis: https://www.hybrid-analysis.com/sample/9b14b4f80b479a7eb2a5e9fb22ad3f5d547690f4e30da6b5c6f0e9ed8d4039da/672727b3fd3db6063b002513
Same exact result:
Dunno if this is something we should worry about or not ? Maybe OP and myself are not educated enough to interpret the results, however I’m also not very comfortable seeing those Found potential URL in binary/memory from SimpleX’s APK. Do you have any further thoughts?
Thanks.
For using Obtainium, how do you avoid or block all apps from Github that depend on GCM, Firebase, or Google services?
You do have a point though, but how does that even comes into the mix? Obtainium fetches directly from the source (api.github.com).
But to answer your question, it’s blocked at the DNS level with RethinkDNS. Blocking all requests, except those explicitly allowed by myself.
This seems more like hardcoded into the .APK or that we can’t correctly interpret the results or something is wrong in the analysis. And I’m also curious to get more Info’s from someone.
I tried it with the official github .apk and same result. I have no idea what it means though maybe someone could chime in?
Found potential URL in binary/memory:
Except that they need something to make an android application (android SDK) and somehow to get issuetracker feedbacks, there’s nothing to worry about ? I guess? I don’t know.
Haha! Seriously? This works? I mean they will probably just disable your account that’s all, but that’s a neat trick if it works !
This is a neat workaround !! Still, for privacy reason I keep my addons to a strict minimum.
However I save your comment as emergency workaround ! Thanks for the tip !
While I do get most of them, I’m really confused by NOR and XNOR.
Why is there suddenly and out of bound mask outside the circles? (If that does make sense :/)
PS: sorry for the serious question XD I probably don’t get the joke?
Not sure if this is what happend, but there is a sync option in samba where you can sync your samba user password with login user password.
However this needs explicitly be stated in the samba.conf and needs some further configuration. It could be possible that the installation fuckedup something with passwd.
Just guessing here, I played a bit arround with samba and password syncing.
From another poster above, it seems only Windows machines are affected.
I get your feeling :) Don’t worry the silent majority is on your side. However they won’t comment because they fear from being banned or backslashed…
While It can’t be proven or disapproved, I also had my share of strange coincidence where my mind goes “Huh? How is that even possible?”… Kinda strange feeling! But that feeling gave me the push to the privacy route maybe in a rather to extreme direction? Always follow your guts when there’s to much noise to make a clear decision.
You will never get full 100% privacy or anonymity, however you can make your data as much as difficult to get and waste some of their resource and time :).
Good luck !
Yeah… This was probably intentional. Now we get why ! They didn’t put to much effort for the self-hosted version, because they didn’t want you to self-host.
XFCE4 ! Stable, simple and EndeavourOS’ design is top notch !
However there are some glitches from time to time. Nothing to serious but when I use Lutris + Wine my desktop bar does some wired shit.
Also when coming back from sleep I have to “pkill xfce4-session”. Though I’m not totally sure it’s an xfce issue…this could also be Nvidia or X11 related… Didn’t dived to deep.
Hummm… Guess you’re to sensible? I mean I’m die hard linux lover for 3 years now and will never switch back to Windows… EVER!
However, I found some of those posts quite funny !
I think it was… Cyberwar/crime is the new kind of war, it can be deadly and put a whole country/system on halt with a lot of consequences (human and resources).
Most people would call out conspiracy theory, but I do firmly believe that those higher ups are doing WAY more bad things behind our backs than we can imagine.
But hey we have no proofs, except those lost trails left by good people who need to hide their own asses because the government are looking for them for crime against the government?
That’s exactly why I value privacy and doing everyday my best to leave as less information about me as possible. Sure they have the mean/money to find where I live in seconds but they won’t get that information without a fight ! F#CK big corporations !
As long as the EU doesn’t reinvent the wheel, why not? I mean if they are going to fork Linux and rewrite a EU-based linux OS, this would further divide the community and make issues and security a lot more wacky… Not sure this is a good idea.
