My exact thought

Script that shit

Apparently this was a controversial take

When I first started learning how to Linux long ago everyone recommended Ubuntu... and I had a similar issue to the OP.

I had to dump the EDID of my monitor from a Windows machine to actually get X to recognise any kind of monitor modes ..it was an eye opening experience for a newbie.

Today, I still dont really like it for other reasons (I'd take Debian over Ubuntu any day). Call me crazy here guys but I think its okay to share an opinion without being called an edgelord for it.

(I use arch btw 🎩)

Have you used it for this lately?

I want to believe it used to be okay for this, but just yesterday I uses it to generate some pretty basic bash and I'm honestly not convinced it saved me any time after I cleaned it all up and actually made it functional

What? Gitea. Gitlab is a complete devops platform. Awesome, but complete overkill.

Why? Because I regularly commit code atrocities and have a hard enough time dealing with imposter syndrome, I don't need to add public shaming on top of it (And just data sovereignty I guess)

Hang in there, three unicorns

I'm Aussie and I don't really closely follow the news, but that sounds more like a censorship problem than a privacy one? Even the Chinese find a way around the wall though. My governments been trying to protect its citizens from the horrors of the open internet for decades, they're... not good at it. I understand the desire for more freedom though.

Yeah, nightmare fuel I guess

I'm usually an XFCE guy but I'm giving Cinnamon a whirl at the moment

Buy a nice TV

Give it a static IP

Firewall it off from the internet

Voila!

Edit: Make sure it cant call UPNP on your router or any such tomfoolery

How to quantify that?

Number of surveillance cameras per square km?

Being members of international intelligence sharing networks?

Data protection laws in place? Level of enforcement?

Not sure theres an easy answer to the question, I think you'd have to put together data based on a wide set of criteria, and even then you would only be able to work off publically accessible/known info

Why do you ask? Did your government put a camera in your bathroom?

We're seeing a few of these lately, hey

Token Aussie reporting in. Good effort.

Given this is was described as a shout this probably more of a 'COOOO-EEEEEEEee!'

Or maybe a 'OI OVER HERE YA CUNT', but I cant speak to the tension level at the Canberra DSC.
