It's at least setting legal precedent which makes it easier to fight against these.

I thought voluntary scanning was already on the books (this is what I gathered from the article)? What makes this version different?

I would believe it, those fuckers are smart and if they were social creatures I think they would be in competition with humans for the dominant species . This is an opinion of a person not super well versed on octopi so take this with a good size grain of salt.

Does it show I've never used an atomic distro before?

I'm sorry to say this, but switching distros would be the better option. Bazzite locks down a lot of parts to ensure it works for games. There's ways around it, but the effort is so much more compared to any other popular distro. Plenty of distros either come with KDE or have a version that has KDE.

In terms of immutability, Bazzite by design makes it very difficult to install things that aren't in the app store/flatpal/homebrew. It is an OS dedicated to gaming, and tries to make it as hard as possible to mess that up. I've ran into similar issues when I try to do some non-gaming things, or more advanced gaming things on it (like installing a fan patch). It's not a good OS choice if you want to do more than game and surf the web.

It's been years, so I can't say for certain, but I don't think I ran into that issue. Gnome was my first Linux DE, so I kinda figured that's how things were in Linux. I decided to give KDE a spin on Fedora since I was installing a completely new distro and it wouldn't hurt to try something else new there as well. There was no straw the broke the camel's back, just trying new things and realizing, "oh shit this is waaaaay better".

Man the more I hear about issues with Gnome the more happy I am with choosing KDE. I am interested in trying out other DEs, but KDE just seems to "just work" out of the box with plenty of options for customization. For the record I did use Gnome for a good few years with a slew of plugins that were needed for basic functions.

Of fucking course you need to have their app to get any useful data from it. I certainly trust a plumbing manufacturer to have solid cybersecurity, and there certainly won't be any data breaches of people's poop data. When do you think we're gonna get FOSS poop cameras?

I've heard anecdotal evidence that the anti-malaria medication the US military uses that cause people to have recurring nightmares. If you're taking a medicine that is supposed to effect the brain I don't see any reason why it couldn't effect your dreams.

Yeah it's a mix of "fair enough" , and "are you really monitoring votes close enough to even find me?". If I went out of my way to downvote everything then I would say the ban is 100% justified. At this point I can see the point of view, but also is it worth the effort, when I will probably block the community anyways?
