This is your layer styles

or for more individual control

>filters>light and shadow>inner glow (use blend mode other then replace)

You can apply bevel and inner glow first then a seperate Styles, like I do a lot to get the most out of them. I went through blood sweat and tears just so people could do layer styles in GIMP without paying endless subscription royalties to Adobe.

When using GEGL bevel starts up it is on chebyshev chamfer mode. Chamfer looks bad on chebyshev and manhattan but decent on euclidean, if i could go back I'd make its default euclidean.

When using it consider using euclidean distancemap. Unless you want the weird banding from manhattan and chebyshev

I see two possibilities for plausible deniability

1. A fully encrypted device, no hidden volume. You can simply claim the device was securely wiped with random data.
2. A fully encrypted device with a hidden volume. You give them the decoy password.

In scenario #1 the plausible deniability is good but they might say you're refusing to give a password. In scenario #2 they can't say you've refused to give a password, so you look better in that sense, however you've disclosed that you're using veracrypt and now they can suspect a hidden volume. They could accuse you of not disclosing the hidden password, but on what basis? But then on what basis can they say you're refusing to give a password in scenario #1? I think in scenario #1 it's easier to portray you as uncooperative, while in scenario #2 it's a bit harder, since you did at least disclose something. It seems like a delicate balance.

Another possibility I could see is that the presence of pseudorandom data nullifies plausible deniability off the bat. The only way to truly prove your device has nothing on it is if it's very low entropy, i.e. just straight 0s or 1s or other low entropy patterns. I'm not sure if any countries have taken this stance. In this scenario, #2 is the only route for some plausible deniability.

It depends on the volume of material you wish to hide. But if you were really paranoid you could have a single encrypted partition then hide your actual secrets in various files e.g. salting them in the complete Seinfeld collection or some shit. If you actually need to hide many gigabytes of super secret material on your laptop then reconsider your life choices and seek Jesus immediately.

Good point, I clearly don't have the mental capacity to spell correctly and am always prone to mistyping words. Good thing Mental "Yakub" Outlaw created minimalist spell checking software that runs on anything from a 70s UNIX to a modern Linux distro.

aspell -a 

then type your word and Ctrl + D to exit.


Usually a normie would open up a bloated electron spelling app or bloated browser and send private information to Google and or a spelling website, but Yakub's software makes it all possible local ultra minimal and offlline. Also Surf has a built in spell check, but Surf is basically a bloated crutch. Yakub recommends we do almost everything in xterm with w3m browser.

Close enough on most parts except 4.
There is no connection to how much the FED prints and individual behavior--they print, primarily, to cover mal investment at the corporate or government level and to pick winners.

AI's utility isn't remotely overblown. It's fledgling tech. The limitation is silicon is a crap substrate and is only still around because people are retarded.

AI is a progression of automation. Ignore whatever you think you know about it, which is clearly not much, and contextualize it as automation.

If this were 1980 that would be like saying "I'm waiting for the automation bubble to burst"...

The reality is AI won't go anywhere until silicon processors DIE and you fucking retards stop shelling out thousands and thousands for 1940 science.

I don't see how this follows the previous claim. Prices have skyrocketed due to demand outstripping supply. Investing in supply chains should help with that, although I imagine it takes years to build.

I hear a lot of shit about systemd and Wayland. I use Arch but I'm a noob I install with the script and I sort of just stumble through things and learn as I go.

Why are these things considered bad?

Will not using them make a difference to me?

I have been looking at things like Artix and I saw this thing from a dude called Luke Smith that can run a script that sets up the os for you.

I want to get good but there is so much to learn. Also I'm a gamer so that's a priority, not a hardcore gamer but I like playing games with my mates it's the only way I socialise.
>>
>>108001123
If you don't know it's because you don't have enough information yet to form your own opinions.

Systemd is a huge topic so you can't really say why it's good/bad in a single 4chan post.

Wayland on the other hand is much easier to say why it's bad. It's mostly very, very good, but it's not X11. Some people have very specific workflows that only work with X11 and they can't properly replicate that in Wayland compositors. It's less about being good or bad and more about it not working for them. It works fine for me and plenty of others but it's not a proper replacement for people that have very specific workflows based around X11.

You can do a lot with XWayland (X11 compatibility layer for Wayland) but for some people they really need an Xorg Server and X11 window manager for what they're doing.

>>108001123
>Why are these things considered bad?
Can't speak for wayland because I've never used it, but for systemd... well it's one big and long shitshow:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ui_LhqMVPXU
And this is just the tip of the iceberg, systemd's history is full of lies and gaslighting.

To give you some idea, in 2014 the Debian community had a big debate about what init system to use:
https://wiki.debian.org/Debate/initsystem
The result? they abandoned all other systems in favor of systemd, despite a very large number of people opposing such move, it was so bad that a big part of the community split off and forked Debian and called it Devuan, and so begins the birth of the first anti-systemd distro.

>>108001123
>Why are these things considered bad?
They're not. This is like saying "why is it considered bad to think the Earth isn't flat". There's just a handful of loud mentally ill freaks who hate anything.

Originally systemd was hated because it was "doing too much but it's meant to just be an init system!" and "this is not UNIX philosophy!". But this drama concluded a decade ago.
Now it's an industry standard on Linux, every serious distro uses it and nobody sane can say it's "bad". People who still hate it today are just basement dwellers who are barely using their PC outside of a CLI.

Wayland was hated because it was pushed before it was ready, because it was originally associated with GNOME, and because it's core developers seem to be slow and hostile to improvements/criticism.
It was enabled by both Fedora and Ubuntu for all GPUs, despite it barely working on nVidia until 2024/2025. And nVidia wasn't the only issue, the issue was also the fact it barely had half the required protocols working when it was pushed out as a default, especially on Fedora which did it back in 2016 or so.
Since GNOME was the first to use it, and GNOME/Adwaita itself is a somewhat hated project, some people just hated it for that reason.
And Wayland devs are in general very slow to add necessary features and tend to overthink things or outright dismiss useful feature requests. I'm pretty sure things like HDR support wouldn't have happened if Valve didn't step in and started directly shitting on them. It's gotten so bad that the KDE team added custom features to their own Wayland compositor because they just couldn't wait for Wayland devs to get their shit together.

Does any of this mean systemd or wayland are bad and shouldn't be used? No, they're what you should be using on a desktop unless you fall into some niche scenario.
Systemd is more "set in stone" since lots of Linux software now expects it. But X11 still has some niche use cases and existing scripts/apps.

It would have happened, perhaps just not as quickly. The Wayland devs like to do things right first time if they can because it's difficult to change an already established protocol (see the whole text input mess).

Valve helped tremendously here, as did KDE by working with them. They proved it could work and then from that basis they could make the official protocols instead of some hacky froggy protocol. Now HDR and colour management is an official and well supported protocol.

>A full year of development goes fucking nowhere due to "internal issues"
>Ubisoft Montreal steps in, scraps everything, and crunches out a decent game in 9 months time to meet the release date.
>Devs describe it as the most stressful project they've ever worked on.
>Ubisoft Morocco is quietly shut down in 2016 after a solid decade of doing nothing.

Outsourcing to the turd world is a mistake and only leads to greater costs in the long run as the white man must inevitably wipe everything and start from scratch.
