Here’s the actual relevant part

These are security risks to be sure, and while these permissions are (mostly) on the surface, possibly defensible, together they do clearly represent an app trying to gather all of the data that it can.

However, a lot of info from this report is overblown. For example code compilation is sketchy to be sure, but without a privilege escalation attack, it can’t do anything the app couldn’t do with an update.

Also, there’s some weird language in the report, like counting the green security issues in other apps (like tiktok) as if they were also a problem, despite the image showing that green here means it doesn’t present that particular risk.

All of this to say, if you have temu, probably uninstall it. It’s clearly collecting all the data it can get.

But it’s unlikely to be the immediate threat that will have China taking over your phone like this report implies.

That makes more sense

X is the w

Probably worth noting that this bot uses LSA and, at least as I understand it, is quite different from gpts and the current wave of “AI” as discussed in this article.

Whatever you have to tell yourself to avoid sounding like you’re using the same transportation method as the commoners.

It’s been a wild season, I’m sure

makes software for pirates

please avoid pirated versions

Good luck with that.

I didn’t have this experience? TIL

To be fair, all of that was in the course of less than a week, and I neither heavily use nor customize my personal laptop, so it’s likely that if there are issues, I didn’t encounter them.

Even so, I was quite impressed with how simple and seamless it was for me.

I installed kinoite on my laptop. Rebased to silverblue for a while to try out gnome, rebased to kinoite rawhide to check out kde plasma 6, then back to kinoite 39. I think a few minor settings had to be redone, but no real issues.

Sure, but in both cases it installs the flatpak version that distributes the codecs with the runtime.

Although, now that I say this, I did install the flathub repo on fedora, which does slightly undermine my point

I’ve used both, and the only third party repo I’ve enabled was tailscale. I’ve not had any issue with needing codecs in anything I’ve Installed through the discover app. I’ll admit that I don’t have an Nvidia card, so I don’t know how good support is ootb there (though iirc, at least openSUSE has a separate installer that include Nvidia drivers)

I think your best bet for this is one of the spinoffs of enterprise Linux: fedora or openSUSE. both are very solid ootb, and have starting configurations that are generally good.

The microos or silverblue variants respectively are really promising as well, but still have some caveats.

Yup, Kalpa upgrade was easy

That’s the fun part of kalpa. Get to upgrade confidently. Though it does take a quick reboot to actually apply

Same time as Tumbleweed

Soon™️

I really like what I’m seeing with this project, and the opensuse spinoff.

Those are two different repositories, one hosted by GitHub, the other by linuxserver.io. both are published by linuxserver, so there shouldn’t be a practical difference between them.

I used unraid for a long while. I recently switched to opensuse microos for a better desktop experience, and it’s been fantastic

Shouldn’t this be useful for pandas and other data analytics libraries? That would be useful beyond meta and similar. A lot of mid to large sized orgs use those.

Short answer: something like nginx proxy manager with a single wildcard dns entry makes this super simple.
