Why is the US not considered a third world country?
  • Oh, I read this..

    The CPI ranks 180 countries and territories around the globe by their perceived levels of public sector corruption, scoring on a scale of 0 (highly corrupt) to 100 (very clean).

    And it completely threw me off, it makes sense that the most corrupt country is an african country..

    Somalia Rank 180

    I was like... no way Somalia is cleaner than Denmark.. lol

  • Where can I geht signal?
  • Your keyboard is doing you dirty my friend.. :)

    Signal is packaged by many people now, you can add a third party repo and you're good to go.. If you're on GOS you can use Signal FOSS which is the debloated version of Signal

  • Why is the US not considered a third world country?
  • I think that these studies are very flawed, speaking as someone who lives in a 3rd world country.. I'll take a wild guess and say that the main indicator or at least one of the main indicators is the number of incidents where government officials were exposed of doing something illegal or unethical..

    If that's the case they'll end up with heavily flawed diagrams due to the lack of data and reports coming from these corrupt nations

    speaking from life experience now, you can't tell me that in the US for example, you can crtisize a certain party, and your punishment is going to be some accusations or a lawsuit at worse.. But here you'll be kidnapped and erased from existence ( even if you're a nobody yes, a simple Facebook post is enough )... And then tell me African countries are not that corrupt compared to a secular nation.. I'll just tell you : give me a break

  • KDE Vault refuses to mount and open
  • Last time I copied the encrypted directory to an external drive it took a solid 5 hours, the directory size is 25Gb but on disk it becomes ...idk I would say 170GB or more.. 😭, so I'm assuming you mean I should try to mount it using the CLi then moving everything out ( which won't take long )

    This bug report shows a solution but I don't understand it ?

  • KDE Vault refuses to mount and open

    I have two vaults set up using CryFS, one is large and the other one is small >1Gb

    The small one mounts perfectly fine, the larger one doesn't mount it launches Dolphin but shows the file directory is empty

    It doesn't throw any errors, just this weird behavior happens.. I checked the vaults hidden directory all my files are still there but encrypted ( just seeing random folders )..

    Is there a way to force it to mount using the command line ?

    GrapheneOS Sensors and Network permissions confuse me
  • You shouldn't be messing around in the Sensors list, that functionality isn't exposed to the user on stock Android or other Roms, it's just there to give extra control over apps that don't need the Sensors

    Is this malware? Is this virus? Is this safe or how do I remove them?

    I'm assuming you toggled "view system apps", think of them as services that you phone needs to do various tasks, so disabling them or trying to remove them might damage or brick your system, GOS is debloated already, I don't know what you're trying to achieve ?

    I don't use apps that require sensor permissions and for other apps, if I find they don't require fingerprint lock as in they don't have that functionality at all, I remove that permission

    Edit: also, GOS devs are very active on Mastodon and on their forum, consider asking them there

  • PureOS Optional Subscription Added to Advance Development
  • most users would have the feature anyway.

    PureOS users won't... unless they pay, ( funny how that works 😆 ) but sure you can find it in other distros for free...

    But for now I'm not seeing any feature offerings, just the fact that it'll help support the development..

  • Nothing CMF Phone 1 review
  • For the price I would say it's a win for the consumer mainly because of that 2 years of updates + 3 years of extended security updates ( 5 years in total ), how fast those updates will come ? that's the question

    the rest of accessories which are kinda expensive because they add up, you can get for any brand for much less
