You can start with dpigs. Then start marking packages automatically installed with apt-mark. aptitude may be a good frontend when removing a lot of packages, you can mark entire categories, like libraries, as automatically installed.

Pay attention to the package headers when removing packages. You don’t want to remove essential packages.

This would be illegal in EU now, at least if the BT addresses or car plates were logged.

The Linux kernel would maintain a list of the latest Intel microcode versions for each CPU family, which is based on the data from the Intel microcode GitHub repository. In turn this list would need to be kept updated with new Linux kernel releases and as Intel pushes out new CPU microcode files.

Sounds like that would be outdated for everyone without a rolling distro.

How does it work?

Nah, it’s still considered Personal Data under GDPR, because it’s possible to connect to natural persons. So GDPR applies. And this is illegal, there is no legal basis for processing this data.

Release submissions should really include a description what the project is about.

This is a topic I would like to do something about. I’m not comfortable running games with full access to my home directory.

I hope someone with firejail or bubblewrap setup can share their thoughts.

Wine was first released in 1993. I hope our children are there to see the take off.

I hope this makes it easier to do TLS sniffing and security research on Android apps. A lot of developers seem to rely on no one simply looking at how much information is exposed in the APIs apps use. Currently because it’s much more difficult to sniff Android apps, a lot of privacy/security issues are not raised.

I’m optimistic, since technical arguments can be pretty heated yet they end like this:

I miss even earlier days. Good times.

But can’t argue that I’ve been saving a lot since I can just pass every bundle now.

Can you find any links where one can read about this?

If Finland is wasting tax payer money to something shady, it should be brought to the local media.

As a finn, I understand that there are probably legal reasons for doing this.

I just wish they would be transparent and share those reasons with us. The Linux kernel is certainly not the only free software project that is impacted, if this comes straight from EU/US sanctions. Maintainers of other projects have a lot of interest in what is happening.

Transparency is also important because if EU/US policy/sanctions are causing issues for free software projects, then that discussion needs to be public, so that there is a chance to amend the policies if necessary.

finland has pretty bad, climate-change-exploitation-fucking-over-the-third-world dealings in my country

Which country is that, and what dealings?

There may be worse countries, but rest of the word is not in a proxy war with them.

Yes, not only is it realistic, it has actually happened. It’s easier to write code than understand it. Even when reviewing code, you miss more or less obvious issues. Not to mention intentional vulnerabilities that can be sneaked in over multiple commits and time span long enough to make reviewers forget the larger context.

Look buddy, you don’t need to use it if you don’t want to. Just remove the package. I’m sure telnet will continue working!

Is there a way to filter out memes?

Or maybe they could go to a separate community.

Where can we read the actual details of the abuse?

Is there a good summary of Gitea/Forgejo background somewhere?
