If you want a gui for android take a look at Seal, for Linux Parabolic.

/mnt/something has root as Owner. So When I try to move something to Trash, it’s not allowing me to do

You have to change permissions or owner of that folder (not /mnt itself but the subfolder “something”).
If I’m not wrong changing permissions is enough to use gui “move to trash”, you can use chmod thru cli (man chmod) o your gui file manager with root privileges.

If you want only your user be able to read/write to that disk, then change the owner using chown thru cli (man chown) or again your gui file manager.

The Linux FHS does not address this, so it’s up to you where to mount it. There is no correct choice, but if you want to follow standards just mount it inside /mnt which is the nearest use-case (/media could be automatically used by your DE, so avoid it). Otherwise you can just create a custom folder in root like someone else suggested.

Take a look at FHS spec.

Edit:
On arch forum someone suggests /mnt/data

/srv contains site-specific data which is served by this system.

It does, because I’ve tried to install some apps from Aurora store (denying network permission) and then I saw these requests on TrackerControl, so maybe those apps wantend to be opened by default with these links. We are talking about video player apps, so there is no need to default on them for Amazon.

From video description:

Reason 1: Gaming
Reason 2: Creative Apps
Reason 3: Foobar2000 (my music player)
Reason 4 (bonus) Fussing, fussing, fussing!

How does this actually works? Can you point me to technical documentation about this?

I’ve only found info about SSAI, not about SSAP. Is it the same?

Seems too much, really. Even if they do such a terrible thing, would they not expose a “report ad” or “see the product” buttons? Video buffer is still locally downloaded.

I don’t see any technical specification in the article, but if they inject the ad at the start of the video, making it part of the video itself, would make possible to just skip it using video controls. To avoid user skippin ad thru video controls there should be client-side script blocking it, so an ad-blocker can use this to tell apart an ad from the video itself.

Can anyone correct me on this?

Also, would this affect piped and invidious too?

I’ve used a bit xrdp and even less vnc. Can you please elaborate why is rdp better?

¯_(ツ)_/¯

GrapheneOS is only available for Pixel phones, so maybe that’s why they suggest /e/os.

I still don’t get why GNOME moved to RDP instead of sticking with VNC.
Embracing Microsoft technologies to better fit offices?

I don’t use searxng because I’m comfortable with ddg instant answers. We should build an open source alternative like duckduckhack.

Edit: Dunno why people downvoted, but in my opinion having a local js “addon” which for example can convert inch to cm if you search for “2inch in cm” (obviously all should be locally processed) would be very useful.

Asking a parrot if its house is safe.

I use DDG, BTW. But searxng is very cool.

is there any hidden data collection I should be aware of ?

Aka backdoors.
They played cat and mouse for a while, Facebook (Meta) moving the backdoor and NSO finding it again. I don’t trust their software.

Thanks for the alternatives.

I’m currently using a used ('cause fuck Google, you’re not gettin my money) Pixel phone with GrapheneOS (since my Pinephone stopped turning on) with TrackerControl and InviZible Pro. Is nice having a real clean AOSP rom with privacy/security customization.

GrapheneOS also provide an indeed cool feature: a proxy for Android services provided by Google, like Attestation key provisioning, Widevine provisioning, SUPL and PSDS. Does CalyxOS and/or LineageOS provide something like this?
Thanks in advance.

What privacy oriented rom do you suggest?

Anyway happy cake day!

I know Microsoft gave Gnome a donation of 10.000$ because they use Ubuntu (which use Gnome) and inside the repo (inside SPECS folder) I’ve seen gnome-commons to build gnoem stuff.

But yes, this is probably a server distro without a DE.

Seems to be based mostly on Fedora by reading the Readme.

I would like to know if it does use systemd and/or other redhat technologies.

In the readme they mention Qt, does anyone know what DE do they use?
