  • On Matrix, as long as you have your username and password, it’s not possible to get “locked out” due to not having your keys. In fact, your keys are only necessary if you plan to participate in encrypted chats, in which case it’s obvious that losing your key will mean losing access to old messages. However, you will still be able to receive new messages by generating a new key.




  • For one on ChromeOS I can run whatever Linux shit I want with their compatibility layer.

    Have they announced that they’re removing the Linux compatibility layer? Or you got that from the comments too?

    Aluminum OS is going to be a locked down like Android is when your carrier locks it down and doesn’t allow users to get root on their phone. They will have an app store with all approved apps on it. Google is currently removing the ability for people to side load apps on their phones (not that most people do that anyway). They will do this on this OS too.

    And you know this how? Did they also announce it? Or are you saying this because it shares code with Android? Instead of speculation, we have a real example with Apple. iOS is arguably the most locked down mobile OS, but you can still install whatever you want on MacOS (even literally installing Linux). You are assuming that an OS based on Android (which is more open than iOS) will be more locked down than MacOS.

    I need you consider the average tech illiterate person who will use this OS and unknowingly have all of their data get silently sucked into Google’s orbit. Google already does this on Android…they want to capture what you do OFF your phone now on other devices too and control it.

    So Google is not collecting data on ChromeOS? Otherwise why even mention this.







  • A disabled service will not consume any RAM. People just look for excuses to hate on it because it has AI in the name.

    First it was that it would consume 4GB of RAM in the background. Then that it might reserve the memory just in case. Now the issue is that even if it didn’t, it would make the binary larger lol.

    I sure hope you also complain about all the disabled drivers that ship with your Linux kernel.
