For a lot of devices that will leave an unsecured wifi network on that will

  • allow any passerby to just set it up under their account and potentially mess with it
  • use up valuable WiFi channels you might want to use for your own network

Yeah, those security agents can become attack vectors themselves, so running them kernel level is nuts.


Ok, from what I gather, they want to play games with keyboard and mouse, and also don’t want to use windows any more. Steam OS is designed to be controller friendly and while desktop is nice and usable, Steam OS is probably not the best desktop distro out there. The obvious solution is to install any distro (Ubuntu, Mate, PopOS, even some gaming optimised ones), but yet they seem hung up on installing steam OS for whatever reason.



You can use any Linux distro and install steam on it? I really don’t understand the issue you’re having. It works perfectly on pretty much any modern mainstream distro.


It’s basically when you drag an Ethernet cable behind you wherever you go, with the other end still plugged into your home switch.


Yeah, but that’s just the kernel. Anything above that (window manager, the utilities that they didn’t outright copy from BSD, apps, …) is basically closed source.


One thing it claimed was the ability to rewrite copy. Basically finally an improvement over spellcheck which has been the same for like 20 years. Would be nice to have something better built into the OS in every text field.

You could also have stuff like suggestions in your terminal when you’re starting to write a command based on what’s in the man pages and the layout of your filesystem.



That’s really only in theory. I don’t think there’s any country where the government does what the polis wants in every instance.


Pretty sure Twitter strips it out by default.


Thanks, I didn’t know about this, have been using ‘i don’t care about cookies’ for ages. Mozilla should really let us know if an extension gets acquired.



You can create a new account with email, yes. Transferring to another oauth provider or to classic email login is not something you can easily do.


I think it might be difficult if you used oauth to create the account. In most cases your account will just continue to be tied to that oauth provider.


You’re most likely logged into the browser with your Google account in Chrome. I’m sure they take that into account as well.


I run it on a pretty old PC and it mostly runs fine. I do get audio stuttering sometimes, but I think that might have something to do with having it installed on a HDD instead of an SSD.
