Cool looking distro

I used ubuntu and am currently using mint, but my thinkpad lacks "coolness". Dont get me wrong mint is a great distro but its also more restricting than most in terms of customability. Which distro could I use that by default has animations or good looks, and I don't have to thinker much?

I'm mainly a developer and YouTube watcher. I'm into cyberpunk and tron

How to use the notification package while in the background/foreground

I'm currently working in displaying my phone notifications in a ble display. I have managed to get by using the notification package and universal_ble, however when the device exits the app, it stops sending information to the ble device. How can I keep the app working in the foreground/background. More specifically these lines from the notification package:

```

Notifications _notifications;

StreamSubscription<NotificationEvent> _subscription;

...

void onData(NotificationEvent event) {

print(event);

}

void startListening() {

_notifications = new Notifications();

try {

_subscription = _notifications!.notificationStream!.listen(onData);

} on NotificationException catch (exception) {

print(exception);

}

}

```

I just found out , intel PCs spy on you using IME

The Intel Backdoor Nobody Can Remove.

IME - hardware level backdoor which intel uses to provides info to NSA.

security researchers (notably Positive Technologies) discovered an undocumented feature inside the Intel ME configuration profile: the HAP (High Assurance Platform) bit (and the AltMeDisable bit on older chipsets).link

How the Community Disables It

Privacy-focused hardware vendors (like Purism, System76, and NovaCustom) and enthusiasts use specific tools to minimize or kill the ME:

>me_cleaner

An open-source Python tool called me_cleaner is used by advanced users and homelab hobbyists. It works in two ways:

  1. Neutering: Wiping out the majority of non-essential code blocks inside the ME firmware image (like the network stack, remote management tools, and Java applets), leaving only the bare minimum code needed to prevent the 30-minute shutdown timer.
  2. HAP Bit Flipping: Explicitly enabling the HAP bit so the firmware gracefully stops executing at boot.

>Coreboot and Libreboot

Open-source firmware replacements like Coreboot natively support configurations that flip the HAP bit or integrate stripped down ME firmware images. Older hardware (pre-2008 architectures) can use Libreboot, which completely wipes out the ME because older processors didn't enforce the 30-minute firmware-check shutdown.

Substrate questions (Mexico)

So I've got a vft I wanna move to a bigger pot and some drosera seeds I wanna germinate (any tips would be greatly appreciated).

Is using 1:1 peat moss and perlite good for both cases?

I know it's much to ask, but in Amazon I saw these options, are they good or would they kill the plants?

Revenge from mosquitoe

My drosera has only 2 days with me, but has been catching a good amount of bugs. Today, it catched a mosquitoe! (And in the bg, it catched a very small bug too).

Offering English (advanced), spanish (native), French (intermediate). | Seeking: French or Mandarin

Hello everyone, I'm looking for some people I could talk some French with. I know words but I haven't learned how to talk really, I'm hoping to have some casual conversations but please correct me.

I also want to learn Mandarin, but I'm a total beginner.
