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.

It’s not on flathub, so it won’t show up in discover.

Generally, it doesn’t have command line programs, just gui ones

There are only two system partitions, you might only have to make the change twice

It’s surprisingly unreliable. We have had frequent issues (once every two weeks or so), with peripherals suddenly stopping to work for no apparent reason, or the system being slowed waaaay down. Turning it off and on again worked most of the time, but that is not something I expected from a Linux-based machine.

I think this might be an issue with the official dock. I’ve got a third party dock that’s a lot more stable. The biggest problem I have here is that the port not being thunderbolt or usb-4 limits your dock options a lot

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

Regarding difficulty,

The difficulty of this game is sort of what you make of it. If you’re struggling, try out a different build and try to incorporate some spells. Farming runes can go a long way to gradually making the game easier

Except when they do

For me, since I use the flatpak version of steam, at no point have I ever provided the admin password in order to install steam or any game. It, like all of my desktop software, runs in it’s own little sandbox that has limited access to the rest of the computer. It would take a somewhat sophisticated attack for an anticheat to actually run in kernalspace on the host os.

But that’s also why companies like riot have their anticheat block Linux from running the game at all.

If Linux becomes a populate enough platform, I’m sure cheaters will start using it to get around anticheat and something else will have to be done. Until then, I’m happy knowing this is a problem that I can mostly avoid.

It runs in userspace on Linux

That doesn’t make it a good idea

At least we’ve all got reasonable unemployment measures to make sure these people are able to transition to better work.

It’s an authorization to give the executive branch the authority to ban. Completely different.

I’m not sure “Open Home Foundation” was the best name to give a privacy focused advocacy program. It kind of sounds like the opposite.

Yeah, probably more boring than I assumed; podman with 1 apt based distro, one rpm based distro, and Nixos. Each doing an independent build and packaging in their respective builds systems.

I was hoping for some rube Goldberg’s machine of compilation, but that’s probably not the case.

The why is a good question, but I’d also like to know “How?”

In about 2 weeks this will be 10 years old
