  • The answer to the PII issues is hence not restrictions in userdb, the answer is proper app sandboxing. And that even already exists in flatpak! It restricts access to $HOME already, and to userdb too! And that’s the way to do it!

    I don’t use flatpak. I don’t like it. Linux is about choice and I choose not to use that.

    Hence, just embrace app sandboxing! And if you come to me and say “hey, I run all my apps without sandboxing, but i want the birthday hidden anyway” then I can only say, your model is really really broken. Fix your security model first, then come back.

    In the words of the great Linus Torvalds, go fuck yourself.








  • Both, in a try-before-you-buy way. I did the same with Scorn which also worked perfectly.

    As the other guy said, skill issue. Getting mad that you aren’t good at this doesn’t make you somehow otherwise. Do better or just go away, nobody owes you anything.
