Hard to take anything these morons take seriously. I’d need to see some receipts to even half believe this isn’t the setup to declare an emergency in an attempt to delay or deny the midterm outcomes.

If it’s just a modem with no WiFi, then it’s not capable of this specific thing.

That’s what they are deploying. This has been possible for awhile, but has recently gotten much creepier: https://groundy.com/articles/wifi-densepose-full-body-tracking-through-walls-using-your/

Nope: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/wi-fi-routers-used-to-detect-human-locations-poses-within-a-room

It’s gotten even more capable where it can basically act as a presence sensor through walls as well. It’s not simple device tracking at all.

Yes, but as I said, on a 4GB budget, this matters quite a bit. I run thousands of edge devices on a custom distro with similar constraints, and it adds up quickly. It’s not that it’s insurmountable or anything, but I’m answering the question asked and not getting into the particulars. It’s just a known fact.

Change management on a layered FS, containers everywhere…etc.

Depending on what you’re doing, it can make a big difference. Especially when you’re talking about a 4GB machine with little to no margin of extra working space. Updates will certainly be problematic.

Immutable uses more memory during many operations. You’re probably not going to find anything stable, with a desktop, and all the other bits you’d expect running at under 4G. Safely.

That being said, any other traditional distro is lower maintenance anyway. Not sure why you think immutable is special in that regard.

And saddle them with the debt. Fuck the investors and the cyclical scam machine. They should forfeit that money outright.

So a right-wing arm of a polling scam to poison public opinion? Seems like it should be illegal.

Corporate sponsorship in the FOSS community has always existed. It’s how many of your favorite projects have managed to stay alive and thrive, including kernel develop.

Your suspicion and fear is lacking sustenance.

Less than a day old turf account. Nobody is listening to you.

Nice account there. Shame if something happened to it…

Perfectly legal. Unless they were legally charged and ordered by a court to preserve data considered to be used in a crime, they can’t be charged with shit. Cops don’t dictate this, courts do, AND that scope only applies to an active prosecution anyway.

I hate to keep being in these threads saying the same thing, but new people need to know:

THERE IS NO APPRECIABLE PERFORMANCE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ANY LINUX DISTRO FOR GAMING

Doesn’t matter if it calls itself a “gaming” distro, or it wins by 10% in some benchmarks here and there. Any distro can be tuned like any other distro in every single way. No distro has any proprietary bits that make it better than another, and even if they did, you’d see devblogs or GitHub scripts you can one-shot to tune whatever you’re running to perform similarly.

Save yourself from falling for the hype, and save yourself the time of sitting through videos like this.
