My bad then. I’m sorry I thought you were a shill, but those do come through here pretty often to dump their winblow and crApple dung.

As I said in another response, security is difficult to marry with convenience. You can see it on mobile operating systems where a flashlight app asks for network and storage permissions, and users just accept because they can’t be bothered with even reading it.

I too recognise that there is a lot of room to improve, but I’m hopeful that with more attention, linux will become more secure. There will be more brainpower and money flowing into it.

Linux allows nearly endless customisation. But when making a desktop distro, you have to weigh convenience and security. You can be the most secure OS on the planet, but if nothing can run because of that, nobody will use it.

Go ahead and try to use Fedora with all security options activated. Give it a try and find out how much you like it. I bet that once you have to resolve your first SELinux issue that prevents you from running your favorite application, you’ll start being more lax or drop it all together.

I think already know the answer to this, but which OS do you think is the most secure?

Linux is used in security contexts. What do you think Kali Linux is for? There’s a linux distro that is literally a hypervisor to separate everything into VMs (Qubes). Fedora allows you to activate more security options like SELinux (which is also one way Android achieves more security BTW). And I could go on, but it seems you chose to be ignorant before making the claim linux was insecure.

Linux distros babe many flavors and eachallows a different focus.

Astroturfing. Pretending to be grassroots but just being a corporate shill to be for or promote corporate services and products.

Turfblaster is a word for someone who astroturfs.

We thank you dearly for poisoning the well.

Enterprise wastes glorious amounts of money. They can easily afford a flock for 200€/month. They waste that amount of money on a single day when they vibe code.

Federated git forges can’t come fast enough. Fuck gitlab for so willingly dropping the ball

I’ve used. It works well enough. They supposedly have CI but either it’s not documented or nor ready, I can’t tell.

And there’s no way to get notifications of merge requests, comments or anything actually, so it serves well as a backup or private project host, but not much else, IMO.

It’s old Github UI

Fuck adobe

A true turfblaster found in our midst.

You can add any header to http that you like. Cookies are an RFC and not part of the http spec.

Pay for it, instead of demanding stuff for free.so entitled.

Hopefully his is a sign of linux becoming inevitable. Once all of gaming is aware of Linux and provides binaries and clients for linux, maybe the business world will catch up and go “maybe we need to provide linux as a default on the hardware we sell”. That’s when things will swing around.

If personal computing still exists by then.

Hurd. There is nothing in the protocol that can or will prevent somebody from coming along and serving ads. It’s like saying this river cannot be used to transport this cargo of the same shape and size. Somebody will make a port that will accept it.

To add to that, Gemini doesn’t solve any technical problems that HTTP hasn’t. It is of no benefit. Unless of course you want a small spec, but HTTP 1.1 is small too. I wrote a HTTP server in uni for fun to practice implementing an application layer protocol.

That’s what freedom looks like.

Beautiful. We in the West are blissfully oblivious to countries and regions outside our own. I’ve had to explain to people that third world countries aren’t poor because people are stupid there, it’s because we have and still do exploit them, but they will move forward despite that. Nobody and nothing stays number one forever.

As we rest on our laurels and burn up the planet, there are still billions who can and will take over once we stumble. Countries lucky enough to have been on the right end of the stick are decreasing in population and need workers from abroad. Those will inevitably learn, take that back home and apply it.

What’s available outside of the West will dominate sooner or later. It doesn’t have to be perfect to do so.

Openmic makes me think there will be audio.

Positively terrible. Thank you for the chuckle.

This might be the root of it. System developers seem very focused on everything but developer experience.
