When it comes to game development it doesn't really matter so much on which distro you use but rather on the following three things listed in order of importance: 1. powerful machine 2. game engine 3. development environment Point 1 is most important, your computer should not be just a gaming...

Welcome to the forums!

Version number is what is a game changer :cool: Because GIMP is very slow to major releases, only 3rd so far, often times major release does not mean major additions but rather major reduction in bugs and functionality improvements that accumulated over time preventing v3.0 In that sense v3.0...

Welcome to the forums! Why did you choose Python? Is this your first programming language? and what do you plan to develop in the future?

Which Kali? Most of Kali problems such as this one are related to installing the wrong image, and improper preparation of bootable USB. You need to provide more information on what and how you did, also please provide your PC or laptop specs. And welcome to the forums btw!

Good point, that's certainly a rule of thumb! Almost all browser extensions have full access to our history and all browser data, so giving this to some closed sourced extension would be way too risky yes. No need to think, there are methods to monitor what an extension does to be 100% sure...

That's why you should use services from Switzerland like protonmail for email. Or if you're so much worried that NSA might influence the Swiss law (I hardly doubt) then go to Russian or Chinese services. I noticed how you're concerned with security and privacy in several threads, I suggest you...

@InvaderSumo The best defense against browser fingerprinting is tor browser. But you shouldn't worry much about that, I've shared 3 extensions which to use in my previous post, adding more extensions will only bring page browsing experience worse and make you less secure.

What do you mean by "Canvas"? What is Canvas?

@InvaderSumo For home users such as us, browser security and privacy is the most important of all other types of security on home PC (or laptop) because web browser is one software which we not only use the most but also we constantly use it to connect to multitude of remote computers many of...

I'm sure it will not became default installer, but many stores are "integral" to the OS or DE, for instance KDE discover is integral to KDE desktop, what this means you can't uninstall it, you have no choice over this. You're only choice is to not use it, same pretty much applies to other types...

That's probably the only reason I would give a like toward app stores on Linux. Free software is cool but making it is not free, it takes developer's time and sometimes other resources, so I support paying them. But, this could be easily abused in the future, many devs could focus on commercial...

Finding youtube channels is better than tutorials and articles when it comes to programs like GIMP or Blender ;) Another method that is also good is to google out each gimp function and then practice.

Thanks, added to bookmarks, here are few more but sadly none matches the quality of youtube: https://videolectures.net/ https://odysee.com/ https://rumble.com/ https://vimeo.com/ https://www.khanacademy.org/

It's about 2 things: 1. It's about principles 2. It makes me feel better True, that's why I still use services such as google, youtube, forums, GitHub etc. those are 4 examples I choose over privacy. But there is also a ton of stuff I decided to dump, like social media platforms, gmail and Windows.

I don't think privacy is dead, you just have to drop a lot of stuff that you like to do on your PC or online. The cost of more privacy is less enjoyment online and on PC. It's a tradeoff between usability and convenience vs privacy. Not really, I'm not a criminal :p

That's great advice, don't share on internet anything about you, especially not your computer configuration, be careful what you share on forums too. If you have to share computer config or logs, anonymize it with LLM such as private IP addresses or usernames.

OK, seems this term applies to Linux only so I was not aware of it, thanks for letting me know!

fork() is Linux specific function, not sure how it works but for Windows there is CreateProcess(), what this sample code does is similar to process hollowing, it basically creates a child process which runs shellcode locally that is usually encrypted on Windows machines and then decrypted in...

@GatorsFan Zombie is a system that has been compromised, no root\Administrator access is required, unprivileged malware will do the job as well. For instance if you install some software that you'll run as regular user without root privileges that's already enough to turn your system into a...
