Goblin’ deez nuts

The actual cheaters completely bypassed the new anti-cheat in about 6 hours. They had to update their cheats a bit, but are otherwise essentially unaffected. Linux users, Steam Deck users, and people who don’t want to give a single game full hardware access, are all affected. None of those can play GTA:Online anymore, unless they mod the game to bypass the anti-cheat, which can be seen as cheating in itself, and could result in a ban.

The ddos attacks are likely being orchestrated by a small group of people or even an individual, it probably does not represent the vast majority of affected users.

Linux, it fits my needs better on desktop, and is much less painful to troubleshoot than Windows, with more freedom and control than macOS.

I took a shortcut when typing that, quoting the OP instead of further explaining. It is definitely possible to visualize 4 datapoints, but not 4 spatial dimensions. The only way to do so is to project to lower dimensions or take a lower dimension slice and display that. That works for 2D slices/projections of 3D objects because we already have a full understanding of 3D. It does not work for 2D projections of 4D objects, similar to how “flatlanders” couldn’t make sense of a 2D or 1D projection of a 3D object.

Wasted my time watching this. 23 minute video that repeats itself so often there’s only ~30 seconds of information. It feels very AI-generated. And it is not possible to “visualize 4D”, the video does not prove otherwise.

Correct, Vector does not receive this information unless you willingly share it with them.

Element is able to use features called “Integration Manager” and “Identity Server”. When using an Identity Server, you can choose to link name, email, and phone number to your Matrix account. When using an Integration Manager, there’s a feature to share your location with others in chat.

As such, Vector discloses that they “collect this information”, although (except some diagnostics), this is completely optional.

(I am not associated with Vector, just interested in Matrix)

“clean driver install”, which heavily suggests you installed nvidia drivers, probably from the website. That issue is entirely on you.

Although “custom Windows ISOs” are a big security risk, AtlasOS isn’t a “custom ISO” and running a random binary off some guy on YouTube is arguably just as bad. He has next to no knowledge of Linux, neither do any other “Linux YouTubers”. Trusting someone like that with your Linux machine is risky at best.

They do make other Android-based devices like the Meta Quest line of VR headsets, and Facebook was just an example, any other OEM fits in that statement as well, like Samsung, Google, OnePlus, etc.

Lets go through the summary and see if anything is wrong or misleading:

Linutil is a distro-agnostic toolbox designed to simplify everyday Linux tasks. It helps you set up applications and optimize your system for specific use cases. The utility is actively developed in Rust 🦀, providing performance and reliability.

• It is not distro agnostic. There is Arch and Fedora specific code, which are not separated into modules, but part of other scripts. Outside of the package manager, it also relies heavily on systemd.
• Installing “Diablo II Resurrected loot filters” is not an “everyday task”. A lot of other scripts are similar, very specific, “one time use” things, not “everyday tasks”.
• helps you set up applications, maybe, but only if you count running sudo pacman -S networkmanager as “helping”, even when it ignores existing network configuration.
• “optimize your system for specific use cases”, it does nothing of the sort. There’s no kernel parameter tweaking, no other cpu scheduler, no IO options being changed, or anything remotely similar.
• “The utility is actively developed in Rust” except for the ~70% that is shell scripts. (according to GitHub)
• “Providing performance and reliability”, which is not something that’s determined by the programming language.

So lets revise the short description, to exclude any incorrect/misleading statements:

Linutil is a toolbox. The utility is actively developed.

Alongside all that, the “installation instructions” include the biggest sin of all:

curl -fsSL https://christitus.com/linux | sh

TL;DR Never trust Chris Titus, or any “Linux YouTuber”, with your Linux machine. They do not know what the hell they’re doing.

That indicator and the permission system are provided by the OS on your phone. If you trust your OEM not to abuse it, then it works. If the company that made your device is facebook, neither of those features prevent facebook from listening in 24/7.

I think the last thing you’d have to worrh about is your job when nearly all infrastructure collapses.

Louis Rossman’s video describes his behavior in public spaces accurately: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4To-F6W1NT0

His activity on GrapheneOS repositories, issues, etc. indicates he’s still very active in development and in the community.

is clearly on the spectrum in some way

This is not an excuse to behave the way he does.

Very good decision from him to withdraw from social media

He hasn’t, still on github, still on HN.

“Limited patience” is understandable, but the behavior of the GrapheneOS dev is completely different. I’ve personally interacted with them not too long ago, and nothing has changed since the public accusations from a year ago.

His github says otherwise
