I'd love to use it on my smartphone as well... problem is the interface was designed to react only to directional buttons, not to touch inputs. I wonder if somebody can manage to add the ability in the source code?

Heck's sake, Ballmer hexed that one on Stallman, with all that saying that "Linux is a cancer" and all that
Oh and don't forget the autistic-to-linuxer pipeline
While I'm not entirely sure about this reasoning, it might be related to the status of soy as a meat and milk substitute. Omnivores claiming that "soy is not meant for human consumption in the same way that milk and meat are" must have eventually been shortened along the way as "soy is not meant for human consumption".
It can be both at the same time - getting a professional voice actor to translate the script, then apply AI magic to have the voices match the original as exactly as possible.
Story of my life. I'm currently on the stage where I will mindlessly post a hot take that I think everyone will agree to, get downvoted to oblivion, and feel even more alone
Because by doing so, law enforcement can manipulate the image from the source by:
- Intercepting the payload and modifying the operative system to send data to law enforcement
- Pose as the origin of the original payload, and send the tainted operative system to other devices when they reboot
Unless, of course, the BIOS stores the checksum of the untainted image. (Which adds its own can of worms, because that would make legitimate image upgrades require writing the new proper checksum on each server)
Because by knowing which IP is the boot image stored from, law enforcement can locate the source of the unencrypted image, thus making the scheme lose its privacy. The only way to bypass the issue is by manually configuring the IP after every reboot and keeping it a secret.
If you want to make it the easy way, yes. If you can handle using Linux as your sole daily driver system (or can manage to configure a virtual machine to run on boot over Windows while opening all the required ports in both Windows and the VM): not necessarily
So there is still one single damning piece of information stored in the servers after all - the IP address to fetch the PXE boot image from. But hey, if Mullvad finds a way to strip even that out of the servers, that'd be great
I'm aware of PXE, but in order to do so you need either of:
- the boot image supplying server being in the same intranet as the rest of the other servers, or
- some sort of method to point the diskless server to the correct external IP address to listen to
Since the first mode is probably too unsafe, that leaves us with the second mode. Either the operator memorizes a specific IP address and types it into the BIOS each time the server is rebooted, or the IP address (and possibly the checksum of the image) are stored in a single-use pendrive that the operator carries. I wonder which of these two methods is used in this case.
My only issue with Newpipe is that I can't sync my "watch later" list with Google's servers. That, and I can't reply to comments straight from the app. Otherwise I'd probably be using either that or Piped.
