oh they’ll take it. whether offered up freely or not.
If you’ve so much as stepped foot in a grocery store in the last 5 years they’ve created a profile on you. even if you brought no electronics and left without buying anything. they’ve tagged you with facial recognition and gait analysis. they know what they can advertise to you based on how you made your way through the store. they’ve gathered everything they possibly can and they’ll sell it to anyone who’ll pay.

what's a good general purpose linux distro to run inside of qubes or VMs that compliments it well? a lot of distros ship by default with annoying programs installed that make unnecessary outbound connections or use port 80 by default for repository packages. gets tedious trying to reconfigure, disable or remove packages every new VM creation.

>what's your setup like?
I use an ASUS laptop running Windows 10 on the public wifi from McDonald's across the street. Been doing this for 3 years and never been compromised. Your schizo "muh privacy" measures are all just placebos and actually do nothing.

>>107669564
>gets tedious trying to reconfigure, disable or remove packages every new VM creation.
You should just do that from the VM template(s), so that every new VM created based on that template would already have those changes applied. Unfortunately, you can't really just install [insert random distro here] and have it integrated as seamlessly as one of the preconfigured template VMs because the VMs need some extra qubes-related packages in order for them to integrate like they're supposed to. Otherwise it will be like running a whole virtualized, independent desktop inside the VM window like you do with 'traditional' VM software, and that's not really the point of Qubes.

So, what you should do is select one of the existing templates, then make all the changes to your template to remove the unwanted software etc. Then make all your appVMs based on your improved template configuration. That way, instead of having to make these modifications every time you create a new VM, you only have to do it once, and the new VMs will adopt these changes automatically.

How would you know if you've been compromised? You think you're going to see a pop-up window saying "I've been owned"? If you read between the lines, OP is clearly doing some "dangerous" stuff online and probably needs security/anonymity more than you. Just because you haven't been owned doesn't mean someone couldn't do it if they wanted to.

Probably have some very minor use case scenarios where you want a constant swivel with little to no friction similar to the infinite scroll wheel for…scrolling.
So not having to readjust to continue to 360 indefinitely or otherwise move your mouse great distances for long periods of time
Other than that. No.

Wouldn't matter in practice because there are a lot of non-GTK applications now and even amongst the GTK app developers many of them are seeing sense to switch to something else, for example, EasyEffects recently had a Qt release in part because of all of the issues with GTK.
So GTK can have the inferior experience and everyone else can point and laugh at them.

I had similar problems with kubuntu but everything worked perfectly once I switched to cachyos

Oh brother.

I get this without the extension. I only have darkreader & ublock running.
It seems periodic but I haven't tried diving into devtools yet.. I was assuming timeouts. it's always the thumbnails at the bottom of the catalog

It works fine for me on the native extension but it's occurring on 4stats. Both call to the same API so it must be a regionalized Cloudflare issue.

>>107669704

I would like a decent ARM laptop that I'm not forced to run Mac OS or worse Windows on. These manufacturers don't seem to give a shit about Linux. People in general didn't give Windows on ARM a warm reception. So I just stick with x64. I am happy with my Huawei laptop. That doesn't mean I don't want something better but it needs to be actually compelling.

This doesn't have much to do with what other people are saying but it is a little weird that the change to vulkan hardware decoding by default didn't also make vulkan the default gpu-api. Obviously it the api and context will get pulled in by the hwdec setting IF it is enabled but in the default case with software decoding it will still use d3d11 on windows and opengl on linux. Seems like kind of a kasper moment. I bet if I check the commit history this will be his fault.

>>107669571
basically, its because vulkan as hwdec is the best-maintained zerocopy path on a lot of systems atm. but that doesnt automatically mean that vulkan is also the best gpu-api at the same time

>>107669619
Forgive my ignorance why does zerocopy matter? When I've tried settings that mention zero copy in their name before on Chromium and mpv they've caused pretty severe bugs.

>>107669635
basically everything you can think of EXCEPT visual quality. so lower overhead, power consumption, latency, way better frame pacing, way more headroom for heavy shaders if you do that (i know i do baby). also, less chances of pathological stalls from synchro (think of all the "flush & wait" type shit madvr always had to do)

>>107669635
>they've caused pretty severe bugs
That shouldn't happen for Vulkan since the spec requires that zero-copy decoding is the only option. So it is the default, tested path. There were bugs in other APIs because nobody ever supported doing it that way.

i want to upgrade from a34 and 13r seems like a good idea but why the fuck is it so expensive atm?
also a few more questions
>are there phones with actually good cameras and not fake ai upscaling?
>buying chinese domestic phones, good idea?
>are phone cameras atm good enough to replace real cameras?
i wish there was a phone with a headphone jack, an sd card slot, durable, and supports custom roms or somethin cheap

>80gb storage already used
>already feel insecure about installing new games despite having 512gb of storage
I can't understand how some people can fill up their storage without care

>>107668581
Dunno, I always prefer a laptop.
All modern phones use OLED screen anyway. The burn-in and lesser brightness is too noticeable for me to care about the longevity of a phone.

I am a gardaworld federal black ops unarmed security special forces operator and I need a P.P.E.D. (Personal Portable Entertainment Device) in the form of a smartphone. I need it to be IP waterproof or whatever it's called and tough and rugged. The cheaper the better. I was thinking the Honor x9D or the Oppo Pro 6. What are your thots? Oh yes my location, Portugal but I will be on the USA in next month. My company doesn't pay for personal devices.

Don't try to simplify the top one to be display none instead of hidden it will rape the rest of the layout

uBlock Origin:

developer.chrome.com##+js(trusted-set-cookie, devsite-appearance-cookie, device)

This will require you to add "user-" to your trusted prefixes in the advances settings.
AdGuard:

developer.chrome.com#%#//scriptlet('trusted-set-cookie', 'devsite-appearance-cookie', 'device')

AdGuard always trusts user filters.
This for some reason defaults to light instead of device and is a session cookie so it's wiped every time. fuck you too google. by the way google is the one who came up with the prefers-color-scheme CSS media queries and they refuse to use them anywhere except YouTube.

The most puzzling thing about MV3-based content blockers is this line in the Chrome docs:
>Note: As of Manifest V3, the "webRequestBlocking" permission is no longer available for most extensions. Consider "declarativeNetRequest", which enables use the declarativeNetRequest API. Aside from "webRequestBlocking", the webRequest API is unchanged and available for normal use. Policy installed extensions can continue to use "webRequestBlocking".
https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference/api/webRequest
Why are MV3 blockers missing so much functionality then? Can't they just use dNR to block and wR for literally everything else? Both uBlock and AdGuard docs refer to limitations in the dNR API for various things that are not blocking, but these operations that are not blocking can just be done in wR it would seem.
