I thought the same thing, then I realized “I think they mean they won’t use them for civilians (duh) or infrastructure (less duh).”

“Only” as in “not for other targets” not “exclusively using THs.”

Tbf, can’t the other party mess it up with signal too? I have a friend with a Samsung running stock samsung android, bloatware and all; how can I trust there’s no google or samsung keylogger, which I’m pretty sure at least one of those companies installs? With copilot existing now, how can I be sure that, when that makes it’s way to stock android, it won’t capture the signal convo? The man uses windows, how can I be sure he won’t surrender our chats to current copilot?

If you need nation-state level secrecy, rule #1 is don’t associate with idiots who can’t be bothered with at least the most basic opsec. I shouldn’t talk to this motherfucker at all were that my case, or at least not digitally. Thankfully at worst we talk about me middlemanning him some weed, and even local PD dgaf.

My main issue for signal is (mostly iPhone users) download it “just for protests” (ffs) and then delete it, but don’t relinquish their acct, so when I text them using signal it dies in limbo as they either deleted the app or never check it and don’t allow notifs. If they had relinquished their acct at least it would fall back on SMS and I could still contact them but the way it was I was literally cut off from texting at least three friends until I relinquished my acct. Now maybe somehow with the removal of SMS maybe that is fixed, but also removing SMS took my biggest selling point to “normals,” so, fuck me.

Fucking thank you so much I’ve spent the last hour trying to find this out lmao, but I couldn’t find it by searching “what is fedora tty1” for some reason.

I tried tty2 (as all online advice says to try): nothing. So I tried tty3, and it worked! But then I tried to switch “back” to my GUI using tty7, blinking cursor. Fuck. Went back to 3, tried 2 and breathed a sigh of relief as I saw my GUI lmao, then tried them all. But then began the quest to learn why tty1 and tty7 are different.

So, tty1 is SDDM, can I ask what that is? I see:

SDDM is a modern graphical display manager aiming to be fast, simple and beautiful. It uses modern technologies like QtQuick, which in turn gives the designer the ability to create smooth, animated user interfaces.

But uuhhhh… what? I see no graphicals only the blinky cursor. And is tty7 that also?

Got it now! For some reason, the internet seems to think my GUI is on tty7, but it’s on tty2, and on tty1 I only get a blinking cursor, but on the rest (besides the GUI) I get the “sysname login:” prompt. I’m sure this is a fedora thing but I can’t find out why it switched, or why tty1 shows up different.

Explains why “switch to tty2” has never worked for me though, because I was already on it and I need to switch to 3!

Edit: okay comment below says tty1 is SDDM. What’s that? Idfk. It’s a “graphical display manager” but all I see is a lone blinky line that seems fairly ungraphical. Also, tty7 shows the same blinky line, also SDDM? The world may never know. man ssdm seems to indicate it’s a user called sddm, whom I need to add to the video group and then I’ll see… something? Maybe?

You limey buzztard!

Tbf I’d take a pic of the command, or failing that, write it down, before switching.

My issue is “am noob, how login? And how switch back?” Lol. This post made me realize I need to learn how to do that now before I’m faced with a situation where I have to, so that’s good!

I buy physical copies if available, usually only if available in a local store or directly from their bandcamp or a show, otherwise yarr matey.

Well neither is a gas mask, so that’s hardly relevant to fitting a mustache under a gas mask lol. Unless it’s a gas drone swarm I guess.

Tbf it was a popular style at the invention of the gas mask (because any more could fuck up the seal and leak through), with WWIII possibly around the corner, the Charlie might make a comeback.

Try and play Destiny 2 lol. Mostly that complaint refers to games with anticheat, commercial software and some hardware, and people who just CAN’T use anything other than adobe products because of their own personal choice.

They still make those?! Lol

True, it’d have to pretty much be a square hit especially at that distance (but it is rated by the NIJ to stop two 30-06 black tips, supposedly at 15m.)

Not only that btw, but the armor needed to stop a 30-06 is NIJ level IV rated, like these. Thick bois. Not only could it have taken out a moose at 5x the distance, at that distance it would have blown through level III plates, much less soft armor that’d be concealable. And none of that helps when the round hits your unarmored neck lol.

POO-5000 is my new favorite license plate.

Then shouldn’t it be g/m^2 ?

So do tri-nipped women have twins more often? Inquiring minds want to know!

Sometimes. Some servers will “rule 1” you and rule one basically amounts to “don’t say things I don’t like.”

And then sometimes you say the Tiflis bank robbery was bad because they blew up innocent people on the street with grenades, and then a guy responds that “it was pretty cool actually,” and then you get banned for saying “well I hope something cool happens to you then” in an attempt to get them to empathize with the victims by putting themselves as the victim instead if the “pretty cool” robbers, despite being the one who in practice is against the murder of innocents, and then you can’t tell if you were banned because the mod couldn’t process the context of the thread or because they were a tankie who agrees murdering innocents is, in fact, pretty cool. I mean, sure I was being rude becauase I’m not usually nice when people say murdering innocents in the process of a bank robbery is “pretty cool,” so, 50/50, but it’s still silly.

And then sometimes you get banned because one person on your server has an argument with one mod on another and the second mod decides to ban your whole instance as a result because he’s totally not butthurt.

It’s a little more transparent, but this place can be just as silly as reddit.

(The joke was: you mean “bait and switch.” “Bate” is short for “masturbate.”)

bate and switch

Is that when you use your left hand?

PKhex, I hope. As long as it’ll run it, PKhex needs not your GPU acceleration, it just gives me pokemon when I have nobody to trade with (or $999999999, change OT names, etc).

Although worst case scenario, it runs ok under wine, and for the trading I can actually use the Flipper 0, but not the OT names.
