I tried installing Guix System maybe about a year ago, but had problems with LVM on LUKS with full-disk encryption and missing and outdated documentation. Has this situation change…

Question from a welfare country and complete ignorance: what exactly are the steps necessary to change this and why is it so difficult for the USA to take them?

Before I got my Happy Hacking I had both control and escape on caps lock, but with HH, I have no problem using the default escape, which is closer there than on regular keyboards.

On what frequency do they transmit? What non-smart equipment does one need to detect one?

How much? So rich wackos get a practically free pass, or will the fines be adjusted to weath?

What are the best ways of doing this without a smartphone?

I tried Matrix a few months ago, but the clients were pretty horrible compared to irssi. The only functional one was the ugly GUI one with emojis and all that.

I was assuming they have something equivalent to the Intel Management Engine. Do they not? > Isn't any hardware a "potential" hardware backdoor? I don't know. Is this true of open …

Great! now take the (potential) hardware backdoors out of your computers and make them Linux-friendly.

But why don't they just keep the drivers etc. from the previous version? This doesn't seem to be a problem for Linux.

Naive question: why is it that the newest version of macos doesn't run on older machines? (The solution is, of course, to install Linux on them.)

I'm impressed by the (allegedly) tactile and clear keyboard https://frame.work/blog/the-keyboard but I'd be delighted to see a happy-hacking style layout, where the arrow keys are …

As soon as they make it possible to install free firmware such as coreboot.

It may be that the generic masculine bears witness of an historical injustice, but so what? A trace of an injustice is not a continuation of it. A language should be capable of exp…

I hope you're right.

I recently bought a Wacom tablet, but didn't install any drivers except those that are in the free-software repository of Void Linux, which I suppose don't do this. I wish it were …

Yes, the one was on Void Linux (no desktop environment), the other on Kubuntu (KDE).

Safest gives me the same each time.

I tried this with Tor Browser on two different computers and got two different fingerprints, even in safest mode.

Preferably, don't take those jobs. Or, if you must, tape the cameras and remove the microphone. Use a wired headset for talking and unplug it when not in use. When not on the job, …

I think there should always be physical off-switches for microphones: it should be possible to know that the thing is not listening. But smartphones also have other private informa…
