You do have a point—Linux does not warn users against running superuser commands constantly and naggingly. Also not the beginner-friendly distros like Zorin, Mint and Ubuntu (as far as I know).

To me that's fine, because I know not to just run any command, but my grandma who gets an email from a trustworthy-sounding person telling them to run "sudo install this keyboard logger and Rustdesk scripted installer" will not know better.

So then that begs the question, given you seem to know something about it: how should this be addressed? (I assume you know something about this—I don't even know what an UAC prompt is.)


On the other hand: How does Windows stop users from running the .exe file a trustworthy-sounding person emailed them? You could argue that's easier to ask people to do than to open the terminal and write a command in there.

Hey, at least they got it to work! Progress has to start somewhere.

This was a nice read and the theme looks really nice. Great job on rewriting so much and improving the documentation.

Mmm, that is true. But honestly, the amount of carbonation I do get is enough, for me. Just enough to make it taste a bit fancier.

Oh whoops, thanks for the correction!

Sounds like... Dykes. See: The Netherlands.

My Sodastream has saved me a lot of money—with some cheap syrups I just make very inexpensive nice drinks. Especially considering I got mine second-hand and refill it through a local guy who fills the cylinders for half the price. I suppose I could save even more money if I figure out how to refill the cylinders myself.

I don't know, but if it supports VIA / QMK then yes! You can ask around on the OpenRGB Discord for help. (And no, in fact, I'm not sure what these things mean 🙈)

Though you could say that all those things influence the collective more than the individual, of course.

(Of course, being able to do this stuff in the first place is a testament to the freedom Linux provides.)

 

Just got this puppy second-hand for a reasonable price. A Keychron V5 Max... I would've liked another brand, but these were just the only ones with VIA I could find second-hand nearby.

The plan is to slowly customize it with second-hand switches and keycaps, 'cuz I can't really justify buying new stuff... Financially and environmentally!

Also part of the plan is opening it up to add some foam and do a tape mod... Curious what that'll do. I already stuck some painter's tape on the inside of the space bar, backspace, backward slash and enter keys, which makes a big difference already!

...But man, it's hard to resist the temptation to order something new anyway. Also, does anyone have any tips for making the key with the Windows logo into a little Tux? I found this, but I don't think that would ever look actually pretty...
