You and OP are just straight yappin

Not my stance at all. In fact we agree on everything.

Praying windows 12 will just be the name of the Ubuntu based distro Microsoft releases after they admit their devs are too incompetent to maintain a kernel.

Microsoft is going to poison Claude with their shitty devs.

Yeah, we need someone to come back positive with a rape kit or something.

Tried Manjaro for a few months before it broke. EndeavourOS has been treating me well for about a year now.

SSL stripping, DNS spoofing, captive portal attacks, leaky metadata attacks (which can and have been reported to happen with popular VPNs)

Lest we forget more and more companies are firing their senior devs and replacing them with college grad vibe-coders? Leading to an uptick in exploits and botched code.

Probably the biggest vulnerability is the captive portal. There is no way to verify you’re connecting to an official Starbucks router.

And of course there’s the zero days we don’t even know about.

What if your system has an unpatched vulnerability? You postponed that Windows update, or your Linux kernel is behind on patches, or even your firmware is vulnerable. Maybe you forgot to install the firmware update, or maybe your hardware vendor doesn’t support your specific NIC anymore. A compromised router could exploit network-facing bugs to attack you directly.

I personally wouldn’t connect to a public router if you held a gun to my head.

Yeah I was there for the first wave. I have no evidence for my next claim, but the bad people really just felt like bored 4channers.

I have high hopes for the fediverse, I just hope we’re able to solve the abuse problem before mass adoption. That Fediverse Chick nonsense was too much.

I’m still on Rednote, I mostly see content from users in the USA, UK, Australia, Guandong and Bejing. They are all so nice, they’re just like us. Even the mean comments are funny. Also plenty of lesbians there lmfao.

Of course China has their own extreme nationals, but those comments get deleted just as the MAGA ones do.

MAGAs burn up there like vampires splashed with Holy Water, so it’s currently my favorite short form video platform.

The fuck is UpScrolled? I thought the consensus was to use RedNote?

Whatever lets you sleep at night.

Public WiFi and privacy in the same sentence? lolololol! You use McAfee too?

Psst. I got really good progress over the weekend.

No, I need to improve wine’s lack of direct 2D and uianimation implementations 😁 there’s about 100 or so unimplemented functions calling my name.
