Israel has lots of success with that strategy to this very day.

Get a good KVM switch or stream-access the Windows machine with VNC or similar (beware of clipboard sharing). I have the same issue at home and just use a KVM switch at the moment.

Chromium has done that to me before when I didn’t setup its keyring properly. I would just hit ESC three times to get past its dialog. Now I make sure to use an empty password for its keyring because I only use Chomium when something doesn’t work in Firefox.

KDE Plasma has also asked me many times for opening its keyring and that has pissed me off. I don’t use KDE Plasma other than on one server though.

Some of the other password requests you can disable in the graphical system settings (like asking for password coming out of suspend).

For the rest, those are just the same as Windows UAC which asks whether you want to give something adminstrator privileges. There’s probably a way to set up that experience if you’d rather click ‘yes’ in a popup than type your password.

I like to think that Luanti caused this.

Do you believe in evolution by natural selection? Of course I do! Do you believe in evolution by unnatural selection? No! Traits that relate to violence vary strictly as a result of upbringing!

Steam packages its own Linux runtimes and seldom uses system dependencies. Maybe SteamOS has a different runtime for Steam Deck though.

EDIT: I suppose your comment is written in a way that it’s not clear whether you’re saying certain frequencies absolutely require meshes of a certain size to be blocked or if you’re just adding that extra detail about the design of Faraday cages for the hell of it. But…

Original comment: It doesn’t have to have holes to block radiation. A continuous sheet blocks all frequencies. A mesh is just nice so we can see through the cage or allow air to pass etc.

From the page you linked: “A Faraday shield may be formed by a continuous covering of conductive material.” “… if the conductor is thick enough and any holes are significantly smaller than the wavelength of the radiation.”

Israel has malware for phones that is unnoticeable on devices. They could easily make phones send in text message votes without the phone owners noticing. It’s a propaganda event they can’t afford to miss.
