I don't understand the reasoning, scanning a qt code provides a URL that the user may or may not visit. How is this an issue? I do agree that passkeys are problematic, though.

I started putting nohello as my status message, but soon after I found nometa and replaced it with this.

Or better yet, can we stop putting money into ai?

Same, never found any glitch.

I have went back and forth from Ubuntu to fedora and literally never had an issue. Same for dist upgrades. Right now I only use fedora, and like you, I too am a power user that can…
