Hi I’m Tim.

I’m AuDHD - officially diagnosed ADHD and self-diagnosed (for now) with ASD. I also suffer from a great deal of Imposter Syndrome.

  • Also, I am not sure what security Podman under Distrobox is making worse. Got an example?

    From the site …

    Security implications

    Isolation and sandboxing are not the main aims of the project, on the contrary it aims to tightly integrate the container with the host. The container will have complete access to your home, pen drive, and so on, so do not expect it to be highly sandboxed like a plain docker/podman container or a Flatpak.

    You are suggesting Flatpaks for security? Um. Ok.

    OP said …

    But the question developed if it would be wise to use distrobox to execute random internet scripts without altering your base OS/putting your data to risk.

    I was suggesting a Flatpak from a supported project over a random package from wherever being run as root on their box, yes.

    And how is calling the entire Freedesktop platform just to run an app better than the much more limited dependencies that Distrobox will pull in? And, if I already use Podman, Flatpak is a lot of extra complexity compared to Distrobox.

    And I just don’t see why I would install another insecure layer that is just going to use Docker/Podman, why not just install Docker/Podman and be done. And for a desktop app installing a Flatpak seems like a better tool than a pod/docker container if you can’t get a native package.

    Some people did as they didn’t meet that min specs, but it wasn’t for something silly like the TPM requirement. Locking 11 behind a non-serviceable upgrade is artificially creating e-waste, and they should be forced to pay for it all to be properly recycled, but capitalism cares more about making the graph go up than becoming the earth from Wall-E



  • But why must they also allow bigotry if they allow people to express who they are? That is the biggest load of shit. So if I say “I have a husband of X years,” they must also allow someone to say a bunch of bigotry as a counter view?

    Or if I say I like open source software they must allow the trolls that want to call me a dirty hippie and tell me to get a job so I can pay for software? And I agree everything is political, and ignoring it doesn’t make it any less so.






  • Fair enough, I just can’t imagine for me anything Jay could have put in that video that I would need any commentary done on it. Jay is a Windows/hardware guy making a Linux video for fun, trying to make it something it isn’t is disingenuous, and if I even knew who this guy was I would avoid his content going forward as he clearly is scrapping the bottom of the barrel.

    But I guess to each their own, a lot of people watch the slop which is why the bots/AI bros are flooding YouTube with videos. This is just one more video added to the mix.


  • Yep, this is a low effort video that had no real need to be made except to get clicks. It’s like when Linus does his random Linux videos every couple of years, there is absolutely no value in making a “reaction video” about them. Nothing he says in those videos could be worth the creator’s time, OR the viewers time.

    Your agreement is we need these low effort, low value videos, and I strongly disagree. You might as well make “reaction videos” about whatever stupid shit Mr. Beast is doing, same amount of value. Garbage in -> garbage out.
