  1.  @billtheunjust  Not a great sign but I'd prefer something a bit more concrete.

  2. Gatekeep your projects. Once these people get in, they'll invite their friends, outnumber and remove you (if you don't kneel) and drive what you loved into the ground.

  3. It doesn't affect you until it does.

  4. That's why I'm sticking with Slackware. I tried other non-systemd distros but I'm just too comfortable with Slackware.

  5. It's a 9.9 if you're running CUPS but I'm not sure that rates a 9.9 overall. I'd think that would be for kernel-level, always vulnerable stuff. Maybe a one-dimensional numeric rating is not an ideal methodology. I was getting ready to just close down all incoming connections just before this was announced (isn't it like 4 days early?), CUPS off by default on Slackware FWIW.

  6. The people adopting Linux in the 90s weren't doing it so much for what was happening in the 90s but for what we could see coming (though you didn't have to be particularly prescient considering what was happening)..

  7. Not gatekeeping your organizations from wokies is like putting your windows machine on the internet without a firewall.

  8. In the late 90s, I was running slackware with fvwm95 and it was fast and snappy, especially compared to the lackluster Windows 3.1. In many ways, we've gone backwards. Though I don't miss having to edit modelines.

  9. The eff have good whitepapers on voting best practices on their website from a time when it wasn't a partisan issue.

  10. "User friendly"? Isn't that triggering to people without friends?

  11.  @rustandmagic  Slackware for nearly 30 years here.

  12.  @EvanBlax  I think Lunduke went off a bit half-cocked. The storage also shows as just being regular NVME in the LTT video. I do think this is a bit of an odd direction for them though.

  13. Google caching seems to have been gone for a long time?

  14. 10 PRINT "Linux v5.0.1" 20 GOTO 10

  15. Either way, I think it would be incautious to consider it not compromised.

  16.  @JohnChrysostom101  Yes. People should bear in mind that this arose from Lunduke himself talking about LW.

  17.  @mckendrick7672  Ah, right you are. I haven't paid attention in many years to be honest.

  18. Tragic. You used to be cool, Mozilla.

  19. It's not just the open source community. Thunderf00t was complaining about the atheist community and I've even heard of the knitting community becoming infested. It's a mind virus.

  20. They've probably learned from Android. While you'll be able to use Windows without TPM, you'll be unable to log into your bank's website or use many other services so it becomes a defacto requirement anyway. (This is speculation but informed speculation). The actual ultimate aim is to make Microsoft a required conduit for all software installs (with a 30% cut of the price). Valve sees this, hence Proton and SteamOS.

  21. When a company steps outside of its core competence, it's not a good sign. It all seems quite odd.

  22. Right. I'm resigning!

  23. Fun fact: Bryan Lunduke has won the same number of Democratic primaries as Kamala Harris.

  24. I assume that "Blue" in project titles now means "You're gonna have a bad time".

  25.  @Zamsky39  Anyone exposing private services to the public internet should be standing in the parking lot waiting for their box of personal belongings.

  26. It's less about the archiving, more about the distribution.

  27.  @RCSky7711  And the planet.

  28.  @klin1klinom  Partnering with your competition is walking into the lion's den. As those who've partnered with Microsoft have frequently found out.

  29. Is this stuff all just money laundering to the DNC?
    2
  30. Debian = Deb + Ian. Sounds a bit too heteronormative to me. Maybe time to rename it to Dougian?
    2
  31. Yes. As Lunduke says, it's vastly improved though I do have to pop back to Google every now and then (and more often for images and every time for maps). They do offer Google results mixing but I'm deliberately making an effort to not turn that on.

  32. While I appreciate the retro, ssh might be a worthy addition.

  33. I think my Nuc is more upgradable. Edit: I just saw the LTT video and the dude is on there saying they wanted upgradeable RAM but AMD said it couldn't work but they want to have it in future. Still a bit disappointing though.

  34. Into trashing the UI and performance by what I can tell.

  35. They also get to enter four teams into the Olympics and their stamps don't have the country name on them.

  36. Valve have promised to remove the DRM on everything if they go down but color me skeptical (it's even possible they've already walked that back and I didn't hear).

  37. Given the location of Silicon Valley, it was predictable.

  38. They also have moxie.

  39. I'm not saying we should punish speech but we should punish speech. Sheesh

  40. Forcing people to link two separate accounts is no bueno.

  41. I guess banning mention of your name is a step up from calling for your murder.

  42. "Debunked" these days just means there's going to be incontrovertible proof within a decade.

  43. It's being weaponized to destroy everything. Open source is particularly vulnerable because it's typically more accepting. So far, I've heard of atheism (thunderf00t), knitting (Karly Borysenko), movies, videogames, comics, Science Fiction literature and probably a few others I've forgotten.

  44.  @xpusostomos  I mean, it's USB-C but in bays instead of having stuff hanging off your PC. I think that's fair. So much stuff in laptops is USB anyway these days.

  45.  @xpusostomos  Well, like you say, there are laptops with those things already. I kinda don't completely disagree with you though.

  46.  @justincase9471  Microsoft have always leaned into the crud somewhat. Their focus has always been on the $ rather than the customer experience and it definitely shows. And in some ways, it was a mistake to merge the home-customer win9x experience with the professional NT line because it tainted it badly. Linux started out lean & mean with issues but unfortunately, having cycles to spare and new community members graduating from a Windows world has added a lot of bloat even as many of those issues have been dealt with.

  47. This should have been the case under existing law anyway. Companies have been allowed to get away with stretching things for too long.

  48. Shame. I used to refer people to the EFF site for their papers on electronic voting. I guess they got subverted like so many others. Come to think of it, I haven't heard much from them recently. Maybe they got paid to shut up?

  49. It was always only a matter of time...
    1
  50. Companies, especially those who have (or at least start out with) motivations that are not, let's say, establishment friendly, really need to take great care to guard against being subverted. I think a lot of this stuff is not organic.
