I don’t think there is a “dead giveaway”. Plenty of kids can pass as adults online and plenty of adults seem like kids online. And sometimes with stuff like word usage/grammar/etc you can’t tell if it’s a child or someone who doesn’t speak English very well or maybe an English-speaking adult who happens to type like that. There’s a lot of different people in the world.

Not if I don’t need to, like if I need to have a conversation with someone that doesn’t need to be overheard. In any case turning your phone off and putting it in a faraday bag then putting it somewhere relatively noiseproof should be more than enough if you need to bring your phone with you.

Obviously you don’t have your phones on you. Otherwise what’s the point of meeting up in person.

Signal is fine for a drop-in WhatsApp replacement. I use it for chatting to my friends casually. For something you need more security for you could do encrypted emails as that doesn’t require exchanging phone numbers, or ideally just arrange to meet up in-person and discuss things so you don’t leave any kind of digital or paper trail.

Yeah I’ve always entered my location manually for both redshift and gammastep (like redshift but for wayland) in a config file because these programs can never seem to auto-detect my location on any of the devices I’ve tried them on. You don’t have to use your real location. Just put yourself in the correct hemisphere and continent and it’ll probably be ok. If putting a location in the same approximate location as your country in a local text file is too much of a privacy concern to you, then so is setting your system’s local time to your real timezone.

Do you know if it’s limited to first gen Ryzens? I’m looking into getting a Ryzen 5 5600X and I want to be sure I’m not gonna have the same issue

Thank you!!

Edit: Tried running that, I’m getting the error that /dev/cpu/0/msr doesn’t exist. dev/cpu doesn’t seem to exist at all on my machine. Hm

Edit 2: You need to run sudo modprobe msr. All good now :)

Ah, thanks. I’m using runit not systemd (although this was happening on systemd when I was on systemd too) but I saw amd-disable-c6 in the AUR so I’ve installed that now, fingers crossed it works (the fixes in the Arch Wiki article haven’t fixed it for me, it just happened again rip)

Edit: nvm, looks like that package is a systemd service

Why exclude GrapheneOS? It’s a really good mobile OS, and the creator has given his reasons for only supporting Pixels.

As in it’s unfortunate that there isn’t a foss photo editor better than gimp (which us quite clunky and awkward to use)

GIMP is the best you’re gonna get unfortunately.

If you just want something that’s free as in price, honestly the best thing (in terms of functionality only) is pirated photoshop natively on windows. I’ve found PS is kinda crap on Wine.

Photopea is proprietary so at that point you may as well just pirate photoshop, at least then you’re getting the real thing.

Ok firstly that’s hilarious. Secondly I’m pretty sure && means “execute the second thing if the first thing exits with code 0” so if waybar is segfaulting it shouldn’t execute any of the other waybars; if you were to do it this way (while true or a systemd service as suggested in the comments makes more sense) a semicolon would probably make sense?
