Yeah no way in hell should you use this the csvs should be public access. Anyone know if they’re floating around?

bazzite mentioned 🐧

technically like 2003

Due to how atomic works on bazzite the update for it will preconfigure it to work

Thank god SDDM is a nightmare

ive done a channel before (like 10 years ago) just to anonymously post things i like and after a certain point a corporation began giving me free stuff on the condition i hock their shit all the time. that lost all of the magic for me and it made none of it fun anymore.

i kinda wish i could just live a very basic life, simple food, simple place to stay, and do free shit for people all the time as my whims demand. but the world isnt structured for that.

the corporation has a large financial wing, why they think im a good target to include in some idiots tiktok video is your guess. i dont speak linkedin or tiktok

the job is easy but dealing with the people is a miserable experience. i normally get by with earplugs and nodding and asking people to add all inquiries to my calendar. i think some people may legitimately believe im partially deaf, this is a burden i am happy to bear.

i work in a software security department at a large corporation. I HATE IT HERE.

i would normally tell him to fuck off but the chief leeches were there and wanted me to. whats worse is he has a somewhat large amount of followers and the chief leeches like him being there because of exposure.

as soon as i realize someone is an idiot irl i do my best to be annoying and waste their time

i just cant stop myself

Which desktop environment did you do

handhelds are really great with it too. i use it on my main pc tho because bazzite-dx simplifies a lot for me

i do KDE and Graphene, i usually sponsor bug hunts. might buy some system76 stuff if cosmic keeps getting better

mullvad is a better choice anyways. you can also download a wireguard config and load it directly into the network manager

you can layer vpns via rpm-ostree install [.rpm location]

fedora distros have a thing called countme that pings their servers so they can measure general trends in how many people are using the OS and the various spins, which can be helpful for determining what to focus on. some amount of the userbase opt out of it

could be bazzite users are more/less likely to take the hardware survey or are likely to opt out of countme.

iirc it doesnt track ip, it just sends a ping for counting, the unique ID is when you installed your distro. its easy to opt out of. in the past it used IP but they changed it because they didnt like the privacy implications of it. regardless, you should use secureblue if you want a fedora atomic image focused on privacy and security. personally i consider the risk of being included in the count negligible (and on par with pinging timeservers imo, so unless youre making your computer completely silent its kinda nonsensical to worry about) so i keep it running. you still ultimately pull data from fedora/bazzite servers for updates (and thus, show IP) so i dont really understand consternation over this.

Just buy mullvad vpn, turn it on and make sure leak protection is on, then do whatever
