squaresinger,

If the vulnerability is in the wild, what other security mechanisms do you have until it’s patched?

squaresinger,

Oh, we play dumb ad-hominem without any basis in reality?

I can play this too: Was your last school homework hard?

squaresinger,

But this issue wasn’t found because of code analysis per se, but because of microbenchmarking.

squaresinger,

The only real downside on the open source side is that the fix is also public, and thus the recipe how to exploit the backdoor.

If there’s a massive CVE on a closed source system, you get a super high-level description of the issue and that’s it.

If there’s one on an open source system, you get ready-made “proof of concepts” on github that any script kiddy can exploit.

And since not every software can be updated instantly, you are left with millions of vulnerable servers/PCs and a lot of happy script kiddies.

See, for example, Log4Shell.

squaresinger,

Just plant the tree on the neighbours property ;)

squaresinger,

Tbh, I don’t recommend beginners to try out multiple distros in the beginning. Realistically, if you don’t have in depth Linux knowledge already, all you’ll be able to differentiate is the look of the DE and the wallpaper.

I find, too much choice tends to confuse beginners more than it helps them.

So I’d rather recommend something simple like Ubuntu and let them try out the flavours with the different DEs.

Choice is better for later when people actually understand what they are looking for.

squaresinger,

Most people I helped getting Linux to work are actually not techy at all and they haven’t touched the CLI at all so far…

I guess it differs if you use Linux because you are interested in the technology or if you use it because Windows 11 doesn’t run on your PC.

squaresinger,

While you are right, it is important to consider that Hamas has very low support in the population of Palestine, similar to Netanjahu and his fascist government having rather little support in the Israeli population.

The corrupt and criminal leaderships of both countries are fighting a war for their own advantage and civilians on both sides (though ~20x Palestinians than Israelis) are dieing for a war they just want to end.

squaresinger,

Mhm. Please quote me where I said anything about that. You are projecting.

squaresinger,

A Fairphone 4. Got it at launch and it’s a terribly buggy mess.

Describing all the issues would make a huge wall of text.

The sad part is that the hardware is ok. But they don’t seem to have any software QA at all.

My goal was to carry it until 2027, when replacable batteries will become standard, but since I can’t even use the phone for calling, I am trying to at least carry it until the Galaxy S55 launches.

squaresinger,

To the first point: no. There is no wide-spread hunger yet. People on the very low end of the income scale are suffering and many are homeless, but that’s not what the majority of the people experience. The middle class currently mostly takes hits to their savings or to their comfort, but they still have a roof over their heads and they still don’t suffer hunger.

To the second point, I can only speculate. I think the EU has a rather stable system. Individual countries might shift to the left or right, but the whole system of the EU is made to prevent anything really bad. Secession from the EU is something that no current member state of the EU can afford and after Brexit not even rightwing extremists want to seriously leave the EU.

The USA isn’t setup nearly as stable, since they are still running one of the earliest democratic systems in the world. I see two (not mutually exclusive) options there.

  • A republican dictatorship, which is not too difficult for them, because all you really need is the president and the surpreme court being corrupt enough to want that power.
  • Secession of multipe states. Texas is testing the waters, and if they actually seceede, other states might follow. This might either lead to a new edition of the civil war, or multiple rogue nations with nukes. Either way, the USA’s status as an economic and military superpower would be gone. This again would destabilize Europe, since the EU currently doesn’t have the military power to defend itself without NATO. What will happen from there on is anyone’s guess.
squaresinger,

@aihorde draw for me Soup with Mona Lisa splashed on it. The soup is enjoying the Mona Lisa and the Mona Lisa is very tasty.

squaresinger,

You lost your job? Your wife an away with the post man? You are just grumpy?

Go splash the Mona Lisa’s glass and all your troubles go away!

squaresinger,

And you are not getting the point. Every method of killing people is terrible and inhumane. There is no humane way of killing people, because the very act of killing people is inhumane.

The only humane method is one that doesn’t kill or harm people.

squaresinger,

Now this is getting ridiculous.

squaresinger,

So, a gas chamber? Back to 1938, are we?

squaresinger,

Stuff only becomes valuable when it’s mostly gone…

squaresinger,

That would indeed be very helpful. But if all the other usages keep draining the supply, it will only help extend artificial reserves.

squaresinger,

One relevant part that I couldn’t really find in the article is that helium is so light that it escapes Earth’s atmosphere when released into the air.

So any helium that is released to the air is permanently gone.

There is also no known way to synthesize helium, and it also doesn’t renew itself at all on Earth.

It’s also the only substance we have to cool stuff really far down. That’s why e.g. MRIs depend on it.

And we put this precious, finite and often life saving substance into kids’ balloons to make them bobble nicely through the air.

squaresinger,

That happens if you don’t have an actual legal team… I am sure they are doing their best, but if you don’t have a lawyer, you can’t do legal texts.
