Yeah, this isn’t like using OpenBSD! /s

I mean, how do you think spelling correction works? Local on-device “reading” of text is a pretty simple feature that’s used for a bunch of stuff (detecting URLs, email addresses…)

That’s a pretty brutal takedown, made all the better by the fact it’s well written and provides a sound technical analysis.

Neither, it’s apparently a set of not very good bash scripts to configure Arch to use Hyprland and a few apps marketed as a “professional” distro.

“and we are thereforerenaming the project Joséer González”

Terrified Pro Max.

Terrified Robespierre St Just.

Uh, there “Trump 2028” caps at the top left of the photo.

He’s casually showing world leaders his shitty hats and that he plans to run for a third term despite it being entirely unconstitutional.

I can’t tell if it’s complete bravado or sheer incompetence.

It makes them part of the cultural Zeitgeist. And when they are already famous, it maintains their currency in that regard.

Or an OS that can rollback easily (ie: Silverblue and friends, NixOS…) Unless you’ve mangled your bootloader. Then the USB drive comes in handy 😄

Not really. Do you know how many proprietary, company-specific extensions and modules there are of the Linux kernel out there?

Loads of companies choose not to contribute their stuff back upstream. I don’t know why the NSA did originally in the case of SELinux, but I would guess it had to do with transparency, national defense and not carrying the burden of a module / fork solo. They were also not the only contributors even early on, according to the Wikipedia page

Also, if I recall correctly, there was no other option for MAC back them (no AppArmor or Tomoyo).

I have a feeling this is just looking for a clever way to say “but Linux isn’t as secure as everyone thinks”, which sure, yes. But also, not many people, especially knowledgeable people, are claiming that Linux is “secure”.

And when it comes to “privacy friendly” that depends so much on what flavour of Linux you are using (Ubuntu? a minimal Arch? Tails?) that it’s not really something you can make broad statements about.

Oh no. Can we please stop pushing (Open)PGP / GPG?
