  • Now I have no fucking idea what your exact ideas are, but I will be assuming they largely coincide with Lunduke’s from the way you’re wording your temper tantrum. Here’s what I found about him in around 10 minutes of digging:

    1. He mocks and belittles people who are more than four times more likely to get assaulted and have sky-high suicide rates. His mocking isn’t even accurate. Even skipping over the fact that gender isn’t synonymous with sex, trans people who have medically transitioned ARE females. Sex isn’t just about the producing of gametes, that would mean infertile people (like women in menopause, or people just born without a functioning reproductive system) would be sexless. Sex is a combination of multiple biological characteristics, and achieving most of them (such as having the correct hormones) would make you fit the description of male/female.
    2. Seems to also be against vaccines. Definitely just “a couple of off-hand remarks”. I have seen other sources claiming this, and also him believing in other conspiracy theories too but I’m not willing to pay for his shitty articles so I guess I’ll never know how crazy he is in this regard.
    3. Anti-DEI, expressed in the screenshotted video. This is way too complex of a topic to discuss here, but here’s what I’ll chime in: DEI’s purpose is largely to mitigate the generational economic suffering caused by systemic racism from the past centuries. It does this by giving priority to applicants in minority groups. It doesn’t cause less qualified people to get the job, nor is it fucking racist to force companies to give both white and black people an equal chance at getting employed.

    I doubt ML’ers will do much against you, but if they do you can just fuck off to X anytime you want if you want to be able to regurgitate lies your internet daddies told you (truth). That site welcomes such people.




  • First-party stuff from your system package manager (things you install from the official repos with APT) are pretty much guaranteed to be safe. But the Snap Store (which uses snaps instead of flatpaks and is not installed by default on Debian) has unknowingly allowed and distributed malicious apps before. Flathub with flatpaks (which I think is enabled by default on Debian) hasn’t had such issues to this day AFAIK, but I would still be skeptical of stuff I install from there, and just not install apps with the Unverified badge on Flathub.

    In the case of flatpaks, Flathub shows what permissions an app requests and gives it a kind of arbitrary safety level on its page:
    You can click on it to see more information:
    You can also use Flatseal to disallow any flatpak app from having certain permissions that you think it doesn’t deserve having.





  • The person here wasn’t mad about Proton charging money. They were mad that when they signed up to the service and entrusted login information to Proton it was not a restricted feature, but now Proton has started to request money for it and they can’t get access to it again.

    Not to mention this person is already a paying customer, they just don’t pay the 13 dollars Proton started requesting to store a couple bytes of data, or at the very least provide temporary access for backup.
