To be one user application to make intensive use of the UID.Ī whisper in an ear brought a new cron job on a number of systems, they removed the unique ID just after boot,Ī newly born installation pinged itself to the world, then another every boot. Happens on first boot and used to uniquely identify a computer installation. Mischevious ugly gnome called something near too but not quite Harry the Potter. May I humbly add Sytemd ID to the tracking features of many distros.
UNGOOGLED CHROMIUM LINUX MINT PASSWORD
You seem to have misunderstood the “login manager features” intending to let agencys inĮasily and make most users feel happy and sleep well.Ī secure (HAHAHA) win 7 or 10 password is also a joke to get past using a method a 3 year old can follow. Prior to presenting the new “slimski” login manager application. It is intended to serve as a gentle (or not-so-gentle) introduction, Geoclue, and surreptitious geolocation pings Well, skidoo is left shaking its their ( how is this gender-neutral stuff ever expected to work, longterm?) shaking me head and wondering WTF? Oh, soooo cute! Lookit, when I go to login, I can see a mini thumbnail… so ( hurr durr?) I know it’s really me, and this is really my computer.
Popup a box inviting the user to hurr durr “fill in the blanks” with personal details, including fullname, phone#… even a happy button to accept assignment of an “avatar” self-photo. (an imprecise word I’m leaning on the definition I found here: Īcross distros, desktop linux users are being herded into using components which - outside the context of a corporate computing scenario - are (IMO) outright offensive. Specific to the topic of one’s login manager component, from skidoo’s unapologetically opinionated viewpoint the “modern” login managers have become perversely corporatized.
We can expect it will be a bland, lowest-common-denominator, monoculture (as well as an “ as the Behemith dictates” monoculture). If TacoBell manages to win the restaurant wars… desktop linux computing may also wind up existing only as a monoculture. Our “mix-n-match components, as we see fit” philosophy freedom increasingly faces threats on multiple fronts, leading toward “corporitization” of desktop linux. Systemd -ish embrace–extend–extinguish is problematic, but its creep is not an isolated symptom. Many of the forum participants here would probably agree “systemd (and Orange Man) bad” ~~ if interested, you can antixforum search LightDM and skim skidoo posts in the search results ~~ I won’t rehash here the similar (multiple) LightDM vulnerabilities which have “made the headlines” com websearch “ Kids find a security flaw in Linux Mint by mashing keys” My focus is toward the affected component ~~ the login manager, aka display manager. The (my) focus in this topic is not LinuxMint, nor CinnamonSprinkles Desktop. ( wanted to post this topic to “Software” subforum, but its title mentions another distro )
