Kind of seems like punishing a person for doing what you do.
Yeah, that’s the Olympian gods for ya.
There’s a reason almost all of Greek mythology can be summed up in only eight words:
“Unfortunately, Zeus was feeling rather horny that day.”

I’m not even that interested in kitchenware (mostly) and I still enjoyed that video! Just goes to show how great he is. Hehe.
It’s Technology Connections.
It’s always worth it. Because
There’s a certain point where it just comes down to trust. And if you distrust a company enough that you think they aren’t posting the same code to the git repository that they say they are, then maybe that’s when you shouldn’t be doing business with them.
This is the case with all organizations, corporate or otherwise.
My apologies. Your comment came off (to me anyway) as the former.
So, I just looked it up and apparently their official stance is that auditing is questionably effective and thus unnecessary:
Our software is free and open source, while we repute at the moment [it’s] not acceptable to provide external companies with root access to our servers to perform audits which can not anyway guarantee future avoidance of traffic logging or transmission to third parties. On the contrary, we deem very useful anything related to penetration tests. Such tests are frequently performed by independent researchers and bounty hunters and we also have a bounty program.
In other words, their reasoning seems to be:
Personally, I don’t agree with points #2 and #3, but point #1 is fair I suppose. In my opinion, it should not be up to the users to hold the company accountable; and there is a difference between penetration tests and log auditing, as the former I believe are merely to check the resilience against outside hacking.
My end impression is that judging from their other documentation and forum posts, the fact that their software is fully open-source, and their past behavior in accordance with their stated values, I think I’m inclined to believe them. However, it is somewhat worrying nevertheless that there isn’t log auditing involved regardless of their actions.
What do you mean? Are they not good for privacy or security? They seem definitely more zealous about that on their FAQs and forum pages than, say, ProtonVPN, for sure.
That is so weird. Haha.
I didn’t know that. Thanks!
Which distros, out of curiosity?
Maybe. I’m busy right now.
I might do it later. Maybe I’ll do it on

THANK you for the advice. I will keep that in mind. I might start writing today while I’m at work. :)
Lol, that’s why I said yet. Give it another couple years; we might have started plasma cannons out of toothpicks and bra straps. Haha.
Wow, thanks for all the information! Very fascinating, I think. I enjoyed reading it! :)
That is a good example. Thanks.
One can only hope.
Yeah, not all games work on Linux in all situations though. It depends for example on
So, no, although it’s gotten a LOT better in the last 5 years, the notion that it “just works” is only situationally correct, and is by no means correct to the extent that justifies ridiculing those who say that it is not so plug-and-play as what is claimed.
Furthermore, doing so only sets up new Linux users without the optimal hardware or firmware for disappointment due to unrealistic expectations.
I’ll be married for 5 years next month. We haven’t killed each other (yet)!
That’s good news!
I feel that.
Spent 5 years in college, had to drop out because I ran out of money, now I work a dead-end job in retail for shit pay and like 70k in debt.
Don’t do college, kids. It ain’t worth it. Or, rather, do college but do community (or a trade school).
Good on you! That’s a HUGE accomplishment!!!
How is it that no matter what the damn topic is, Linux always seems to be the most level-headed in the room? I really admire him for that…
