For what it’s worth, I am a frequent lurker of hexbear and their users’ newspaper archive is wonderful - every politician is full of it and they know it full well.

Tried it, my device crashes every 2 minutes in. Not worth the effort for now.

If they have root access to my PC, webcam access is arguably not my biggest concern

To the people who insist on me adding a sticky note to my webcam, I can only say

Pink Floyd is underwhelming for a band commonly labelled as “prog rock”. Most of their stuff is forgettable, albeit Alan Parsons Project came off it, so I guess it’s not irredeemable if it inspired something genuinely good.

Executives are also trying to use it to eliminate the jobs of artists, and I feel it’s wrong to try and obsolete something people love doing.

Luddism, much?

Nevermind, Instagram somehow manages to recommend better music in their ads

WYSIWYG editors rock. Long live TeXmacs!

Do you really need a cool usable theme to be productive, whatever the crap that is? Are you 7 years old?

Prior to going into the post, I was just hesitant to try it but curious. The fact that they are working on releasing Cosmic to other operating systems and how comprehensive the piece of news is (for instance, featuring a section of what’s present and what’s missing at this stage of development) is what may have just sold me into trying it.

Who the fuck cares

I’m afraid basing their distro off TempleOS would be a bit too hard.

the lack of XWayland support scares me

I’ve been using niri lately and couldn’t believe so many apps wouldn’t launch. I didn’t know that was the issue. I had been manually editing so many desktop entries to make them work…

Reading this feels like reading those famous math textbooks, which are for people who are already well-versed in the field yet kept being shoved into undergraduate courses.

How about you do your work instead?

Another commenter mentioned going by a pseudonym, which is pretty much what I had in mind - I’ve always been grown up on the idea of not disclosing your full name nor your physical location, but many universities’ websites not only shows the full names of their profs, but also their coordinates and their office hours.

There’s a publicly available record of where and when someone is readily present, for better and, especially when it comes to preserving one’s safety, for worse.

Let me make this point clearer: would you publicly disclose where you live or where you spend most of your time? I hope you see some of my concerns now.

I trust this is the right place to find like minded people and maybe find a solution, not to argue about what an academic should or should not be.

I think you did alright by resorting to flatpak. When it comes to closed source applications, it’s not uncommon for problems like this to appear every so often.
