Maybe instead of Torvalds taking lessons on how to be less of an asshole, he should be teaching developers how to be more like him.

The world needed the open internet to bootstrap the digital revolution. It wasn’t possible without the sum of humanity working altruistically to build the Library of Alexandria of software. No private entity could have possibly done it. It truly is an under appreciated marvel of the late-20th/early-21st century. FOSS contains the knowledge of software that runs the world. Now that such a thing exists I could totally see organizations (loosely speaking) wanting to conquer or ransack it. It’s quite clear by now there’s faction of tech with a tyrannical bent. I’d put them whoever they might be exactly as possible culprits.
Yeah everything is broken with anti-patterns meant to kill competition.
I keep a separate Google Chrome install with no addons for government and banking. Websites break things so badly unless you’re leaving yourself wide open to all their privacy snooping and what not.
For random web browsing the annoyances don’t matter as much. It’s unacceptable when it comes to important things. It’s all by (anti-)design.
Are we all forgetting rm -rf
has the --no-preserve-root
safeguard? The accidental engine
DataSource culprit seems unlikely. You can experiment yourself with in VM. It’s only a couple lines of QML code. Nothing will happen without explicitly turning off safety.
The pling account that posted the theme was registered on February 25 2024. And suddently it has 3800 downloads without anyone else saying anything?
Things aren’t adding up. I think this had to be intentional malicious crafted code.
Running their mouths on Discord. Using Patreon to profit from (not) piracy (but everyone knows it is). Reckless display of hubris.
They got $136k funding from an original goal of $10k. Did it go to their head?
There’s got to be more metadata involved in fingerprinting. The type of content you’re looking at. Maybe even deriving some sort of signature from your mouse movements.
I thought that’s gentoo.
Popular tech (a la pop sci or pop psych). Brave uses the right techy sounding buzzwords to appeal to the pseudo power user.
It’s apathy, resignation, tech illiteracy. People think they’re powerless against a god machine. They think “the algorithm” is a black box which can’t be deciphered by mere mortals. Except for the few ordained priests known as software engineers. In reality is a practical application of graph theory. Edges and vertices linking their private data to various tags/labels.
I make throwaway accounts. Push code. Disappear forever. Come to find out nobody ever looks at it anyways.
Fun times. Always keep a fallback kernel installed. Even if you’re not compiling your own.
I had to learn what chroot is when I borked my own kernel compile and there wasn’t fallback.
I could see the paradigm shifting over the years on reddit. They don’t approach the internet as a knowledge base but a personal assistant chat. That’s when I knew the value of the site was on the down swing.
It’s not like Google engineers are hard up for cash. I know I know… it’s never enough for the rich…
What happened to the ethos of the original internet cultures that were so dominant. It’s like large swaths of that generation grew up and sold out to become the oppressors. And the other portion are being crushed by that system.
I’m still getting the hard lock issue with driver 535 and a laptop running Arch. I’ve did a quick searches for issues and lots of different complaints in the results. I’ve been waiting for nvidia to put out these fires. Whatever they are. Still waiting since the 535 release…
Bluetooth stacks are notorious for being gargantuan spaghetti code base. People have been trying to put out all those little fires because it’s more possible on Linux than Windows.
Their workflow would be open to the public. The organizational structure doesn’t want things like this out in the open.
For some reason I memory holed the first distro I used. There’s only vague recollection. I think it was SUSE or something. When Ubuntu came around I tried Linux again. That’s when I started to get the hang of things.
