    Ubuntu Pro is free for up to 5 machines.

    Ubuntu pro Costs handing over your Data to a company.

    And if the whole concept of getting extra security updates for unsupported packages really bothers you

    And if it Bothers you that a company actually supports the packages it is making availible…

    No, Ubuntu pro brings faster Security updates, even for still supported apps.


  • Luffy@lemmy.mltomemes@lemmy.worldWell, it really is the end of times soon.

    First 7 words:

    Bill Gates just dropped a wild prediction

    In other words: Insider trading.

    Have you ever though about why millionaires suddenly start predicting stuff? Because they just made a multi million investment and they are looking for such trashy magazines to push their agenda.

    So thanks, but no, I won’t get hyped over some words.


  • is the only difference the syntax ? How libraries interact? How disks are mounted ?

    Ah, yes.

    You know, the things you just mentioned ARE the basic differences. As long as both work on the same architecture, and none reinvent the wheel, everything is the same.

    And as long as you don’t reinvent the computer and make a new assembly and binary, a kernel and libraries will be the most effective ways to work.

    Its like saying „what is the difference between python and c++ anyway? If we just strip away everything differentiating the 2, we just get a programming lang.

    And yes, I would prefer Linux, for the same reason a python Dev prefers python and a C++ Dev prefers C++: because I’m Used to the syntax and the quirks of Linux. I don’t want to jump back to the ungodly CLI of cmd, powershell and everything else. I have learned the ins and outs of Linux, and that’s how its gonna stay.





  • privacy-first company

    My

    wet

    asshole

    is a Privacy first company.

    They are worse then Linaege. Linaege at least supports local system backups. With /e/, you have to use their own unencrypted servers.

    (Also btw they support Phones with not anymore updated firmware, which partially allows script kiddies with a flipper zero to exploit your chipset)

    I can tattoo „privacy first” on the inside of my asscheek. Dosent mean it actually means anything.

    Like I said, /e/ is not at all better than LinaegeOS, but instead takes the OK LinaegeOS, adds their own insecure services, removes everything that could be more secure, and misrepresents what is essentially a LinaegeOS Flavor as

    • uLtRa gIgA sEcUrEeweeeeeee!!!;111! V. 1211 b !!!

  • So this kill switch will auto delete all the telemetry /e/ collects by default, including the Voice data Sent to OpenAI? right? RIGHT?

    Btw, if you dont understand their text, let me translate it for you

    We took out loans from a bunch of venture capitalists in order to make a phone with a weird gimmick which is completely unnecessary since our OS collects your Data by default and dosent care about your Privacy at all anyway, just so we can please a crowd of tech hippies who have no idea about actual privacy but want to look cool by switching off their Camera after posting their 24/7 location on facebook and letting ChatGPT analyze their breakup text. (Also btw we have to somehow pay back those millions by raising our stock prizes, so stay tuned for our cloud selling your unencrypted photos because we have to enshittify).

    The only reason to have hardware switches is if you fear that you’ve been compromised. And if you’ve been compromised, why would you continue to use a compromised phone for things that need your location or access to your camera?

    And if you go in with the expectation of „this phone is going to be compromised”, just remove the Camera and everything and attach a Webcam or Mic for whenever you really need it. This way you can actually verify easily if its on, instead of having a mm button that can be easily toggled while putting the phone away

    /e/ is not private at all

    They have a lot of telemetry already installed, their voice to text is sent directly to OpenAI, and their Cloud is not encrypted (and presumably in the US), so anyone can view all your data without a subpoena when (not if) their services get compromised
