  • I want to move to Linux, I tried a few months ago with a few distros but ran into two issues. One, I’m a content creator so easy access and use of my digital tools is paramount.

    Secondly I make extensive use of VR and the support for VR graphics drivers was not good. I heard many duct tape and bubble gum solutions to run virtual desktops but I can’t mess around with my operating system every day when I need my machine to run and do what I need it to do without lots of little roadblocks.

    I want to move to Linux but I do not think it’s where it needs to be yet to take me off of Windows :(

    Tldr: Someone can guess reasonably where you are by sending you a glitched friend request notification on your phone that tells the hacker what data center you’re closest to.

    It is pretty clever but I wouldn’t call it full deanonymizing, should still get patched though.

    good find by the tester.

    Edit: used the term ‘glitch’ for simplicity of people reading, didn’t mean to upset people; I’m just an amateur.

    Just don’t use Facebook. Get your friends contact information and text/call/meme directly with them or in groups. You’ll find it a much more encouraging and rewarding experience if you connect with people instead of let some big company tell you how to engage with your friends and family.

    Edit: I did not expect this thread to be so controversial. I suspect a lot of people really are not ready to give up Facebook.
