Don’t bring anything with a modem and you’re good to go.

I sincerely hope your reply in the mailing list was satire .

You can run an imitation of the DeepSeek R1 model, but not the actual one unless you literally buy a dozen of whatever NVIDIA’s top GPU is at the moment.

Is there another example of this happening in Facebook aside for the openKylin post? I looked around and every article is only talking about this specific DistroWatch issue.

wlroots doesn’t support HDR.

Everybody knows how to produce the chips. The problem is getting your hands on new ASML machines without the USA finding out.

TRULY modern OS

What does this even mean? So iOS, MacOS, Windows11, Linux aren’t modern?

a way better compositor than wayland (in fact, android has the best compositor in the world, compared to ANY OS)

Wayland is not a compositor, it’s a protocol. SurfaceFlinger can totally be made in Wayland. Saying SurfaceFlinger is better than Wayland is like saying words are better than English.

A properly modified desktop OS based on it (better than Samsung’s DeX for example), that is also able to run normal Linux apps, would be a huge winner.

Nobody will ever use this on Linux, unless it is implemented in Wayland. It is infinitely more likely for Android to rewrite its compositor for Wayland than SurfaceFlinger being adopted as Linux’s main compositor.

Do you really talk to your friends through email?

the proposal included a 5 year ban on any browsering

I guess 5 years is not too bad, but the judge would probably never agree to the ban.

Did you submit a bug report?

Given that even Mozilla (who has significantly less resources than Google) had the ability to create a second web engine and then abandon it, it would be dumb to think that Google doesn’t have at least 2 or 3 teams working on different browsers or engines for no reason.

Unless they’re prohibited from creating another web browser ever again (which would most likely be a bad idea), they can probably come up with a working browser in less than two years

Pointing out their hypocrisy will not help anybody. The best you can do is sit down and watch this comedy from the sidelines.

I’m pretty sure that screenshot is Wayfire, not Weston.

What about the certificate installation on windows?

That’s simply bad software practice, which was fixed once pointed out. Fact is that if they had done this on purpose, they wouldn’t have changed it and instead, would’ve came up with an excuse to keep it the same way.

I never claimed it’s malware

I don’t keep track of who says what on this app. Many people in this thread have the idea that RustDesk is some sort of Chinese spyware that is secretly transmitting their files to the CCP. If that’s not your opinion, then I guess we are not in disagreement.

There’s no way for the user to know that clicking this button will edit their GDM config and disable Wayland

Yes, that’s the wrong way to do it, which is why they changed it. I’m not saying this is perfect software developed by experts, but the idea that RustDesk should be avoided at all cost is insane, specially when they have fixed every issue that was raised.

The only thing they are missing is a security audit done by a third party, which costs money and I doubt they care enough to pay for that just to stop all the finger pointing.

Bad coding practices is not malware, that just means the devs are not experts. Also, these were fixed when pointed out by the users, which is the whole point of being open source. The only reasonable issue is the direct modification of the GDM config, which required the user to click a button.

If you don’t want the NSA to spy on you, don’t use anything with a modem. Otherwise forget about it.

I didn’t even know it asked for an email for sign up. I just remember the recovery email.

I don’t think you are required to provide a secondary email, but you get less features without it.
