I’m not trying to make you feel bad. I just think this is where we are at the moment and I have a hard time not thinking about it.

- Comment on Linux help and actual pros and cons 3 weeks ago:
I have nvidia too. So all good there. Within protondb (you mentioned a Skyrim) you can filter the results by clicking on the cog and selecting GPU > nvidia. Depending on the game you might have to use some steam launch options to try to squeeze as much as you can out of your setup or to enable certain things but that’s usually captured in the comments if it’s required to play.

- Comment on What are the best options for computers that explicitly support linux operating systems? 4 weeks ago:
Sorry to not really answer your question, but I’m just curious what distros and kernel combinations you’ve tried on your 2020 thinkpad that don’t support the hardware keys? I never ran Linux on a thinkpad but I’ve heard that they are fairly well supported. Also, I wonder if it’s an issue with you desktop environment, which ones have you tried? I’ve seen most hardware features seem to work on KDE but many didn’t on xfce for example.As a bit of an anti-consumer, I would recommend trying a few totally different distros and DEs with the latest kernels just to be sure that it’s really not supported.
To answer your question a bit. I’ve honestly not had issues with drivers of any kind on any desktop hardware since I started using arch with KDE. I don’t even bother checking compatibility anymore. This is even true for Nvidia GPUs although there are some issue with Wayland there. For a laptop, I do watch videos of people opening them up to fix or upgrade them before I buy. If the laptop is hard to open or upgrade or if it breaks easily during the process because its only held together with plastic clips and glue then I don’t suggest you buy it unless portability is more important to you than device lifetime.

If freedom of speech is granted to all and there is legal precedent and long standing tradition for that case then all should be able to have freedom of speech regardless of status.

Holy shit that’s crazy. Why doesn’t Australia have toilets that you can remove from the floor? If you want to replace a toilet you gotta beat it with a mallet?

In stock android 15 it looks like this.
- Comment on How to protect against someone forcefully unlocking my phone and password manager with biometrics? 1 month ago:
Im not an android dev but I think the difference here is it’s a secure lock. Which means that encryption is engaged and requires the decryption string to unlock which means that biometrics are not asked for.
- Comment on How to protect against someone forcefully unlocking my phone and password manager with biometrics? 1 month ago:
It doesn’t require root. Device admin is different.
I currently run this app on android 15 without root and it runs very well. However I just noticed that it seems to not have a new release in a few years and should probably be considered orphaned. So I might recommend ParanoidsPal-PrivacyLock instead.
- Comment on How to protect against someone forcefully unlocking my phone and password manager with biometrics? 1 month ago:
I am running stock Android and have no idea what that is. But this forces your phone to use your none biometrics unlock after it senses acceleration.
- Comment on How to protect against someone forcefully unlocking my phone and password manager with biometrics? 1 month ago:
As others have said, the most secure option is to not use biometrics.
However an app like private lock might be a decent compromise

Well again, the claim was that somehow passkeys would stop Lemmy from being flooded by bots.
So in that situation, we aren’t talking about hacking. We are simply talking about if a login could be triggered programmatically. So if Lemmy required passkeys to be used instead of passwords. And if the passkeys required scanning a QR code to sign in. I imagine It would provide minimal disruption to an automated login.
Now if the passkeys somehow enforced a real human to do something that only a human could do, then yes it would stop an automated login. However if it’s possible to automate then it wouldn’t stop bots.

Oh I don’t know what it is, sorry I thought I made that clear. But a quick search by on the internet said it was basically 2fa with a qr code and since the issue was how it would protect Lemmy from. Bots I just thought it wouldn’t be hard for a not to read a qr code.

Oh, you can easily bypass passkeys with automation. Don’t even need an image recognition model, just a QR-code scanner like
zbarimg.But i never tried googles passkey feature since it never seemed as secure as a 48 char computer generated password. So I’m not sure exactly how it works.
