1. Artisans are capitalists.
2. Proletarians cannot own private intellectual property. If they do, then they become bourgeoisie.
>to say otherwise would be like one of those people who says burgling some wageslave's house is leftist praxis because property should be abolished
The proletariat's ultimate goal is to abolish private property, ie., capital.

Xfce was supposed to be THE lightweight fully-featured desktop manager but it seems fucking KDE has around the same memory footprint and performance?!

This. You should be able to hold the phone in one hand and reach any part of the screen with the thumb of that hand. And not just a general average consumer hand, but also smaller adult hands within like 2 standard deviations.

I'm not an apple user, I genuinely want a phone with ports and other amenities that devices used to have and that's why I posted that image.

 

Laptops have GPUs and shit now, they're becoming more portable (in the RIP to your back way) workstations than actual computers to put on your lap

Is adding the wine binary to a user with no internet access enough to securely use Windows programs under Linux? It seems using the 
winetricks sandbox
command also removes all links to $HOME.
Is this enough if I want to not worry about running stuff under Wine or should I opt for sandboxing with Firejail, Flatpak+Flatseal, etc?

>Flatpak would be really cool if it was a sandbox/permission system integrated into the system package manager.
And if Flatpak packages actually had good sandbox (some of them don't have any sandboxing at all). There is a site that has collected criticism on Flatpak; https://flatkill.org

>>it wants to install its own separate Gnome
yeah, flatpaks are literally hell
just use this instead: https://github.com/Kron4ek/Conty
it's made by one of the mods on rutracker who packages a bunch of wine and native games for linux
it bundles EVERYTHING (wine, amd/nvidia drivers, steam, lutris, emulators, obs, legendary, etc) you need to play vidya gaems into a single appimage that requires no root access/install and need no extra dependencies
just create another user, download this appimage and run your games inside that environment

 

>>22626 (me)
>single appimage
meant package since it's actually a shell script + squashfs inside a .sh file

 

>>22626
Thanks, this looks very good. You can also run wine under a separate user with no privileges but this alternative also won't ruin my packages, it seems.

< 2011: DARPA announced that the team "All Your Shreds Are Belong to U.S." won DARPA's Shredder Challenge and $50k. The team used computer-vision algorithms to suggest fragment pairings to human assemblers for verification, piecing together documents shredded into over 10k pieces.

They don't usually have adversaries that are desperate enough to put them together. You always have to consider the threat model they are working with.

 

>>22681
ok but this doesn't eliminate the problem of having to exhume a bunch of wet shit-covered shreds from a landfill before reassembling them.

 

>>22683
Shred and then burn.
Or shred and then compost.

The latter is probably the best method, but it requires paper that isn't chemically treated in a way that would prevent it.

 

>>22693
shred, burn and then snort the ashes

 

should be used for archeology. will probably be used for spying on political dissidents

Oxymoron.

Different Anon, that's how I do it and I'm not nearly as (delightfully) geeky as the other posters. Rsync is so fucking well written too, hot damn.

 

yeah well downloading from mediafire or, god fucking forbid, mega has become a very niche use case now. if anything each day we're further away from an alternative.
