right... but so what? in a relatively sandboxed environment without network access. If I wanna play a random game, it's there. If I'm using an old phone, old apps are there. I think it'd kill fdroid more to have only 10 new apps per category. Maybe you could maintain your own repo with only fresh updates

especially if there aren't obvious security concerns. Rather use an android text editor from 6 years ago if it works well than a trash one that's updated once a month and has a million features i don't care about

you installed it without uninstalling first? have you tried an apt purge to get rid of related conf files, then reinstall kde?

[–] billgamesh@lemmy.ml 1 points 7 months ago

Yeah. I like the config file being really easy to set up... permit persist user permit nopass user cmd poweroff permit otheruser cmd [whatever]

I mean, that's one of the things that definitely needs permissions, right? You're overwriting system config and executables for all users on your system. Otherwise a malicious actor could just replace firewall configs, or embed malicious code into your executables. If not /bin and /etc what else should need privileges?

But there is evidence that he defends it, and that he refused to back down after being called out. He is not a good person to look up to, and willfully makes harmful public statements, and willfully stabds by them. In other words, kinda a POS

Idk. I'm not against izzy, just don't want to have to check which repo an app is in browsing fdroid

Yet he still qualifies that statement:

Children: Humans up to age 12 or 13 are children. After that, they become adolescents or teenagers

I do too, but I think being that tone deaf after being called out says a lot, and I think it's pretty good reason to not make blanket endorsements for his statements/beliefs
