ANYTHING owned by "Facefarm" and the billion fellow idiots with a biometric riddled account would like to know. The AI they're developing keeps asking about it. It's like when kindergarteners go to the police station as a "field trip" that ends with "fun" fingerprinting, except for adults. Because you know, Facebook and other social media make forfeiting privacy "fun." But, as long as common strangers don't have access, I guess that makes it ok. Nope, that's nothing more than a peekaboo game as far as anyone that really wants your data is concerned.
You're not using their software or platforms to develop, so of course they find issues. Let a third party check Google's stuff for bugs, oh that's right....most of the code that matters you can't look at, the big and thankful difference between FOSS and table scrap API's.
How do they expect people to not just walk out with goods? You can't put antitheft on everything. Next step is all stores replaced by vending machines and then the lines will just come back again anyway. Facial recognition for security cameras only work on white Europeans. On top of which, tech companies act like they can use AI to detect whether or not your a "risk," so good luck buying anything if you're just having a bad day. And by going cashless, your government can bankrupt you in a heartbeat because it's all just data. With no paper trail to use as evidence, can you imagine that argument with a bank teller, especially with the lame brains they hire now, if there's even going to be a human to talk to in the next few years?
What I am saying is that DDoS attacks are incredibly common, more so than people realize. A Trump competitor could have such an attack but be held more accountable than others simply because of who is in office and be perfectly legal however immoral. Think 1980s "war on drugs wars" but now it's "cyber."
What this means is Trump and supporters will ultimately have the power to decide who will be held accountable and who will not, influencing industry because these "cyber attacks" are only going to get worse and more selective if you know what I'm saying. He is at heart a business man after all.
Also be sure to look up keyboard shortcuts such as Command+Spacebar for the WhiskerMenu, Command+1,2,3,4 to switch between workspaces, and Ctrl+Spacebar for file searching. After running the Upgrade script, I added the ability to highlight text from anywhere and then press Alt+t to open a dialog box with an English translation (uses Google Translate). The Upgrade script also adds what I have called "climenu," which is this: https://imgur.com/a/BS2jW, for the command line extremists; everything in climenu works both in GUI and TTY environments.
I think it is because some applications wont run properly via Live, hence the "%F" part of the error and perhaps the MakeHuman issue. As far as desktops go, it also includes IceWM and GNOME as choices. At the password part of the login, click the gear icon to change it. I would have used LightDM instead of GDM as the login manager, but LightDM didn't look the same as what I was used to. Also, the Upgrade script is very important for all kinds of fixes, but you shouldn't run it without installing PsychOS first.
If you need more incentive to use PsychOS, my actual "test machine" is a tiny Acer Aspire One ZG5 with 1GB of RAM, though I usually do my PsychOS installations on it through a TTY environment (Ctrl+Alt+F1) to save RAM; after it's installed, RAM isn't much of an issue.
For download management, I like uGet, which is just a front-end for aria2c, and it even excepts torrent files, metalinks, and things like that; I haven't tried it with HubiC though.
I would host the file on the website, but if something happens to the site itself, then I don't have that extra security for anyone that may decide to crawl around where they shouldn't; most people don't even check the Sha-1. The US and Japan have very strict laws regarding software. France does not; that's why developers from there can legally create a program like VLC to play so many file formats, including libraries such as libdvdcss for DVD playing. So, the warning is more for the US and Japan downloaders, and using a French cloud storage service just seemed to make sense.
I don't think you understand how much Window$ 10 relies on the internet to properly function. Have you noticed how 2017 laptops still only have 4GB of RAM and 1.2 Gz processing? Cloud computing; anything bought made by M$ in the last few years is notorious for this. A lot of it is stupid little things just for statistic purposes, but it is still a breach in privacy. Using the Linux that a proprietary company provides to you (Linux Foundation members, so they can) means that anything you do on it still ultimately falls under the proprietor, much like a Russian doll within a doll and the largest doll still has all the control it wants, having nothing to do with license.
Micro$oft has been pushing incredibly hard trying to get people to use their software as opposed to true FOSS. Most of Micro$oft's applications phone home to the internet and many of them use cloud computing while true Linux does not do any of this, ergo it is a trap or maybe a "fishnet" is a better visual. It's a security risk that otherwise wouldn't be there if anything. By creating a dependency like this, it "locks" people into paying for something they can get as a free standalone, and they have no way of looking at the code to see what is actually going on.
Cloud computing puts the control out of the user's hands. Ubunut/Suse/Fedora do not use these practices on their desktop versions as of yet and people will mistake the Window$/Linux combo as a convenience that offers the same things. And the way Ubuntu has been partnering with them, they'll give up on making their own distro eventually and just have a Windows/Ubuntu combo, but the company with the most money will have the final say. I know this because the older Debian folk are dying out, Ubuntu is the "cool" system to use, and Ubuntu's millennial users, which are most of them, (ie the future of Linux) could give a crap less if that happened.
I know you don't believe that M$ is that far into cloud computing just yet, but they definitely will be very soon, and they are even releasing their own line of laptops much similar to Chromebooks, which would most definitely verify what I'm ranting about because when they realize people will be dumb enough to buy them, they will not go back to a traditional internet-free desktop. They will get people to pay more for less while letting software developers to get lazy and use their platforms out of "convenience." With cloud computing as a requirement, that would be called a monopoly, hence the "locking." M$ will have the final say with what you can do with their product and having Linux built-in as a subsystem will not rectify that, especially if they decide to do something at the hardware level, to which manufacturers have been caught doing multiple times already.
This wouldn't be too much of an issue if Window$ 10 wasn't riddled with spyware. You have Linux inside of Window$, not side-by-side. This means that Micro$oft still has all the control and final say while pushing and locking people into cloud computing crap, same business as usually and totally defeats the purpose as to why people choose Linux in the first place. If they don't want you to use FOSS on their platform, you won't.
I'm really sorrow about using HubiC, but I've been trying to get away from cloud services like Google as much as possible, and HubiC is also based in France, to which they are much more strict than the US or UK about privacy and less strict regarding "non-free" software; VLC is a good example.
Also, my website uses its own analytics so people like Google don't have access and my settings are are set to honor "Do Not Track" settings that most web browsers have. And even if your browser doesn't, all you have to do is go to the "Privacy" link: https://theouterlinux.com/priv... and there's an option to tell my site not to. I'm only mentioning it because the warning I give before downloading may seem a little ominous to people, but it is really targeted towards those who live in the US or Japan if you know what I'm getting at.
Holly shit...I need to fix that. Thanks for pointing that out. It is supposed to say 2.6.1. I added the wrong link.:(. Make sure to check it again. Shows you how popular it is...The Upgrade script link is the correct one though. The way I have it working is that 2.6.1 is the last build since SuseStudio doesn't support OpenSUSE 13.2 anymore. Ergo, all changes will be made from now on via the Upgrade script.
The website and all the social links at the top is being maintained by one person. I love Linux and do what I can. Having that said, if you do run into bugs with the Upgrade script (written in Bash), please let me know. I don't get a lot a lot of traffic to help me figure stuff out like I would want, though I haven't been brave enough to get it on DistroWatch or anything like that.
PsychOS will run just fine without the Upgrade script, but the included default repos will be broken if you chose not to, though regardless, it does include a crap ton of stuff. 32-bit is starting to meet its end and after annoying the OpenSUSE admins to death, it was explained to me as a phenomena they are calling "bit rotting," i.e. letting old servers die. So, I have had to find people that still at least maintain 32-bit Tumbleweed repos as replacements.
Also know that PsychOS uses rpm packages and not deb like most people are used to. Zypper is the package manager; it is very similar to apt-get in a way that you can run "sudo zypper refresh," "sudo zypper update," or "sudo zypper install [package]." When in doubt, "zypper --help" is actually helpful contrary to most managers. It does have a GUI version for this, but it's incredibly annoying.
One of these days when 32-bit is no longer a viable option, I'll think about it. But by then, I will probably just run Linux on my 2014 MacBook and get another 4-5 years out of it. Though, I can tell you right now, you won't notice the speed difference with the custom Linux distro I made, so a better CPU would only make a few things "smoother," but that is usually because newer laptops have better GPU for graphics and 64-bit allots for better graphics processing. The laptop I have only has 128 MB of video RAM. But, I can still use Blender with up to 150K faces before the lag gets too much and GIMP and Inkscape haven't given me trouble yet. I'm not a computer gamer beyond a few emulators anyway. A PAE kernel allows a 32-bit user to have more RAM access, but I have had Firefox, GIMP, LIbreOffice, PCSXR, and Kodi opened at the same time just to see what it would do, and it barely went over 2GB of total RAM. I did roughly the same thing to a 1GB of RAM laptop I had and it got up to 800MB; thank god for swap. The load averages were fantastic too.
I use Protonmail for email (uses two passwords; one for logging in and another for that actual email box; they cannot recover if you lose it). I also have this rare material called paper for schedule keeping; it works everywhere. I gave up letting Google know what I am up to when I realized its security is only as good as it is convenient for them and whomever has the authority to say otherwise. And, I like to keep my documents printed or on a hard drive. It doesn't make any sense to rely on cloud computing when there are FOSS software like LibreOffice. Heaven forbid you can't do something on your phone other than use it as a phone. IF I do need cloud storage, I use HubiC; 30GB for free and not based in the U.S. or U.K., just how I like it because their privacy laws and practices are a joke if nonexistent (talking to you UK). If you need more security, Tresorit works really well too. For web browsing, Chrome could disappear and we will still have enough developers for Firefox (add-ons are much better anyway) and Chromium. Widevine might disappear, but so long and thanks for all the DRM. For DNS, there are plenty of other options, including DNSCrypt.
To "someone1234": I usually run NoScript and uBlock like a boss and I can tell you that I block most, sometimes all, of Google's scripts and the Internet still works fine for me. You can even curl or text-browser your way into your email if you know what you are doing. Most server maintainers don't even use GUI at all. So in a way, Google doesn't even need Google to manage Google.
Most people look at Google as a search engine and not an enterprise, even though in our social circles it may not seem that way. As a search engine, no one needs them but lucky for them and investors, it has become a household colloquial expression for "internet search." There isn't a single service that Google provides that there isn't a FOSS or non-API alternative to. They are the masters of developer convenience and created a platform to get people dependent on them much like Micro$oft is doing with their cloud services. I will miss YouTube, but still say good riddance. Though if Google does go, Facebook and Micro$oft need to leave too. They already have too much power as it is.
If you have any questions about PsychOS, feel free to email me and also take a look at https://github.com/TheOuterLin...; it's like journal I've kept during making it. If you're worried about RAM, you can also run "yast" in a console and then navigate to the YaST live installer. It is not as easy as Ubiquity is for Ubuntu-based systems. I really need to make a YouTube video of it, but I've been lazy. If you're bored and looking for an extremely light and feature rich OS, try KolibriOS or MenuetOS; it's made with assembly and will fit on a floppy but works just fine from a USB. If you do some digging, you can find interesting assembly software for them such as ZSNES.
I used to dual boot Mac OS X Snow Leopard and Xubuntu. I run OpenSUSE now and love it. It's sooooo much faster than Ubuntu based systems, except for maybe WattOS.
I guess it's about 1/14 if there are 7 billion people with 500 million systems. Though, it's not really their fault when you force updates to a system that spies on you 24/7 and limits what you can do with it, claiming it's for your "safety." No, you have a "store" you want all of us to use. Ever heard of FOSS or Linux? Micro$oft payed their way into the Linux Foundation and partnered with Canonical (Ubuntu) and have been trying their damnedest for decades now to destroy Linux and FOSS software so that we all end up under their control. We've got cloud computing for that now. You'd be amazed at how many people never even heard of Firefox or LibreOffice and you can thank Google and M$ for that. And now, you've got idiot millennials on FOSS related forums trying to get developers to make cloud app versions just so they can use it on their tablets. News flash, those tablets are throttled on purpose just to get you to suggest such a thing. Cloud computing is not for your benefit, only the developers and the company making money off of open source server software, basically using open source to destroy open source. If they wanted to put 4GB+ RAM and x86 in tablets they really could. I have a decade old laptop with 4GB of RAM. The iPad is 7 years old and was actually in development before the iPhone but didn't get released until later. So, how does selling new 2017 laptops with the same 64-bit version of the 32-bit specs but with only about 1.2 Gz at such high prices make any sense? Look how thin laptops are now. There's no reason not to make a tablet, or are they terrified people will just wipe it and put another OS on it?

Seriously though, a 22 year old wouldn't be that hard to google these days, even the ones that work in security. It's sad. Just say no to Facefarm.
And like they need more data -_-. Besides, you then got to hope that the IT people are complete sh*t heads and most are.

For me, using Google without JavaScript breaks the ability to preview images.

The title cut me off. The last word should be "use."
Linux. Prepared or not, we'd all be safer using it. Gamers and IT...go ahead and say something. I know you want to.
I used to dual boot Mac OS X Snow Leopard and Xubuntu. I run OpenSUSE now and love it. It's sooooo much faster than Ubuntu based systems, except for maybe WattOS.
