I3 ??!!!??111 That’s bloatware OUT OF MY HOUSE

Any gui rendering is bloat

[-] lennivelkant@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 1 week ago

Really, the metric we should be looking at is (f+a)/b where f is some subjective weighted measure of functionality, a of aesthetic value and b describes the bloat.

Pfft, Linux users don't date. We're all virginal, paranoid shut-ins.

The trick is securing a marriage before using Linux, if try the other way around it doesn't work.

Shortly after getting my steam deck and seriously learning Linux past tiny personal servers, I got divorced

I don't know. I'm pretty sure one of the many ways you can end a marriage is installing Gentoo and saying "I'm just gonna go and compile my kernel." to your significant other, then go to your computer and just never be heard from again.

I don't date because women are proprietary.
You can share them with the community, but you can't modify and use them in any way you like.

Yeah, ikr? My wife won't even bang me, and I'm fairly sure it's part of a global conspiracy to make my balls explode

First time seeing hate for deepin. What's wrong with it?

[-] Moobythegoldensock@lemm.ee 108 points 1 week ago

It’s by a Chinese company, and collects telemetry on its users via Umeng+, which is a Beijing-based analytics company. Even though it’s open source, the code is large enough that it’s hard to tell if there is anythinf compromising in there from the Chinese government, and/or whether/what data collected by Umeng+ is making it to the Chinese government.

It's unfortunate, because I really like the DE. Real stand out. If it were more trustworthy, it'd be my first choice.

First time seeing hate for deepin. What’s wrong with it?

Western concerns about connections to Chinese government

Radware's head of threat research has commented on concerns about analytics collected by Deepin, and whether these are sent to the Chinese government: while the CNZZ analytics service has been removed, analytics are still collected, now by "Umeng+".[29] According to cybersecurity lawyer Steven T. Snyder, due to the sheer size of Deepin's codebase, it is impossible to really scrutinize all the code comprising it to be sure the Chinese government doesn't have backdoors.[29] The project does remain fully open source allowing anyone to review, modify or change the code to meet their standards.

Not just deepin, but really any piece of software made by a Chinese or Chinese owned company should be treated with suspicion. At least, until the inevitable fall of the CCP occurs.

[-] emeralddawn45@discuss.tchncs.de 18 points 1 week ago

This is insane. US companies blatantly collect data, meanwhile a chinese company releases OPEN SOURCE software that hasnt been shown to do anything malicious and your response is "but maybe they somehow hid some tracking in there". Bro examine your prejudices.

[-] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 10 points 1 week ago

What gets me is how everyone can spout this shit and not feel any shame. Somehow it's okay when US companies do it, but even suspecting the Chinese is enough to shun something. I'm disappointed to see all the upvotes this bigotry gets.

For a while the deepin desktop's looked pretty cool. It got old quickly though and it doesn't seem like they are innovating as much.

just use Garuda if you are a gamer, Qubes or Tails if you wear tin foil as your hat, Mint or Ubuntu if you barely know anything about computers, Arch or Void if you like to tinker with your system, Slackware or Gentoo if you hate yourself, Alma or Debian testing if you need a secure server, openSuse Tumbleweed or Kde neon if you like KDE and productivity

Slackware or Gentoo if you hate yourself
