Hopeless yuri addict.
Honestly, in terms of the actual system architecture, I prefer NT’s object-based approach to the the file-based design that Linux (and other Unix systems) use.
The best part of Linux is the license. The OS can definitely be rough around the edges and have some maddening problems. But it still feels like something that is built and maintained by actual users rather than by a corporation that’s slowly trying to milk you for all you’re worth.
No, but the social conditions that allow the gig economy to even exist hurts gig workers. As usual, a systemic issue is being framed as a matter of consumer choice.
Then we can moralize.
I don’t think people are wrong to point out how wrong this is morally. I despise how ethics are seen as irrelevant when operating at a large scale. Everything is about the material cost and benefit to us.
The advantage of framing things this way, however, is that a significant portion of this country have demonstrated that they don’t give a shit about morality. So maybe arguments based solely on our own self-interest could convince them. Maybe…
This is just masturbation.
I think they know; They just don’t care.
A secure OS should account for dumb/malicious users and mitigate the damage they can do. If a user can be convinced to disable protections on Windows or Android, that same user could easily be convinced to download a script and run it with sudo.
I’ve had a hot take for a while now that Linux isn’t “more secure” than other operating systems like a lot of evangelists will claim. I think people get this impression because the user base for desktop Linux has been small enough that no one was writing malware targeted at us.
Unix’s security model was developed in a world where the primary concern was protecting the system from users and protecting users from each other. It wasn’t really designed for single-user systems where the main concern is protecting the user from their own applications.
I have a dual boot set up, and even I find it annoying to reboot into a different OS just to play an unsupported game. Especially since I use Windows so rarely now that the first thing it wants to do is install a dozen updates.
With our current Overton window, the word“bipartisan” means a coalition between conservatives (Democrats) and fascists (Republicans). So, yeah, it is a bipartisan meltdown, because neither party really represents Zohran’s base (or most Americans).
So that’s why Fedora is complaining about running out of space on /boot/efi!
I’ve never tried it, so I don’t know. From what I can tell, BitLocker should work. Windows seems to be happy with my current security settings.
I’m currently dual-booting Windows 11 and Fedora Silverblue (actually the ublue-os/silverblue-nvidia image) with secure boot enabled. No BitLocker, though.
You, as a developer, make a user interface, not a piece of art.
I’m a user. Why do you assume I’m a dev?
I’m going to provide the counter opinion here: I prefer CSD. SSD gives you a consistent title bar across applications, but it can cause a wildly inconsistent look within a single app. Part of the application is being themed by a different piece of software that doesn’t know anything about it.
I also like apps being able to make use of some of the extra space in the titlebar if they want to.
Modern PCs can trace their lineage all the way back to the IBM PC Compatibles. Multiple vendors across the industry consolidated on a set of standards (because IBM basically had a monopoly at one point), and consumers came to expect that these standards would be followed.
When smartphones came on the scene, there was no expectation for them to follow desktop standards. It was the Wild West, and every manufacturer ended up doing things at least a little differently—much like the early PC market, actually. The customer base was the general public, not the hobbyists and tinkerers who bought into the early PC market, and there was no regulatory pressure to adopt open standards. In addition, I don’t think people anticipated the extent to which phones would become the dominant form of computing for much of the globe.
