That is an old myth. There are less viruses for Linux because there are less users. But if you do things like install priated games, you have the same risk as on windows
notarobot@lemmy.zipto Linux@lemmy.ml•What are some bare minimum concepts beginner Linux users should understand?0·3 days agoI’m not sure this is great advice. In principle it is. But you can’t tell a windows user “yes. You know how many of the programs you used to use are not available because they don’t make a Linux version? Well a lot of the ones that do you shouldn’t use even though the distro supports it for reasons you don’t understand”
That is better advice for an intermediate used learning about the dangers (or lack there of) sideloading.
In general o disagree with your stance on a basically semantic reasons: the definition of a trusted source. If I trust a software manufacturer and they tell me to use their flatpak, it’s fine because they are trusted, regardless of the format. What I do not like are things like the AUR
Can you hook me up? I don’t know how to find those torrents/indexers/trackers
Are there any cool i2p sites or apps? Since it doesn’t have exit nodes I never found a reason to use it.
Yeah. AFAIK there is no messenger that purposely delays your messages anywhere from 1 second to ,I don’t know, a month? To stop someone from correlating your time online with the time messages are sent. That would be insanity. But it does increase privacy and anonymity a bit
Because no one will ever send you a message
~/s it was a joke. Hold you horses xmpp fans. Im not attacking anyone here~
Such a high horse for such a tiny person.
- On simplex you can “start chatting” asynchronously
- You didn’t say “start chatting”. You said “start sending messages” which is something you do with people every day
- “Start chatting” and “continue chatting” do not mean what you imply the mean. There is no distinction between them as “the absolute first time” and “all the others”. I can start talking again with a friend I haven’t talked to in months. I can also start talking about a previous topi (" me and my girlfriend started talking once again about having children")
So… You know… Maybe get off the horse? It’s not that everyone around you is an idiot is that you failed to communicate… Or you are an idiot
Simplex works async. You might be thinking of briar
Love signal but it’s NOT anonymous
Edit: signal. Not simpkex
+1 for simplex. I don’t use tor, but if you want the best of the best, use it

From the blog you provided. Next time. Read your sources
In the absolute worst case, a totally malicious Signal Server can perform traffic analysis to correlate the IP address assigned to the messages arriving with the delivery token for a recipient.
And
Sealed Sender cannot totally hide the recipient (else the server wouldn’t know where to route the messages).
Edit: removed the word “moron”. I’m not a native English speaker and I thought it meant something else. It seems its like “retard” which I wouldn’t use as an insult. I’ve used it so much…
I’m not the one that is not listening. I don’t care about the ones they post. I care about the ones they don’t. I trust they client code. I don’t trust ANYONES server side code. Their encryption is top of the line and an industry standard. But is DOES NOT hide your IP, the time of the day you send messages
ONCE AGAIN (this is the third time I’m saying this) I like and recommend signal. I have no evil motives nor I’m trying to be paranoid. But let’s not pretend they are perfect.
If you are hurt because I said mean things about a company you base your personality on, that is not my problem.
Since they are not required to publish these they could be publishing only the ones that make them look good. You might also notice that they haven’t published any for over a year. I know how siglan works and I trust the client and the security. I even recommend it. But let’s not pretend they are INCAPABLE of building your social graph
Are they legally required to publish that?
Man. Props to the team. At least from my perspective (I’m not into distro hoping anymore) they came out of nowhere and people absolutely loved them. I should give them a test on a VM, specially since I’ve been recommending against them because I didn’t think they are a good fit for llinux newcomers
