What is the point in an official upgrade if it is unsupported? Seems like a way to trick people into an upgrade so they can start nagging users to throw away their hardware and get a new computer.
So glad I don't have to worry about this bullshit on my 11+ year old computer that is perfectly fine running Linux without any major issue or lack of support.
They refuse to make changes to their C code, so it can cooperate with Rust code via bindings.
I don't even think the rust devs where asking for that. They are refusing changes by rust devs that help with rust while making the c code clearer and even refuse to answer questions about the semantics behind the c code. At least as far as I can see from the outside.
There is no real technical challenge in displaying ads that are based on the page content. But ads based on tracking users is much more profitable. Plus they can sell the data collected to anyone else that is interested.
How the hell is arch so large? My laptop is only 27GB and that includes all user data and several years of crap being installed as well as several docker images. A fresh install should rival that fedora install.
Worse, it also affect the pronouns the teachers want others to use for themselves:
school employees can’t ask students for their preferred pronouns and restricts school staff from sharing their pronouns with students if they “do not correspond” with their sex.
As an example, one plaintiff, Katie Wood, who teaches math at a Hillsborough County high school, is a transgender woman who transitioned in 2020 and has since used she/her pronouns, including when she started at the school district two years ago. But under the new rules, Wood this year was told by school administrators that she could no longer use female pronouns and would have to use titles like Mr., teacher, or coach. Further, the lawsuit alleges that Wood is forbidden from correcting students who refer to her as Mr. or by he/him pronouns.
But, I will not be purchasing another AAA game ~~from CDPR~~ until at least 6 months post-release
FTFY, unfinished release day games seems to be more than just a CDPR problem.
Software ~~that controls your body~~ should always respect your freedom
FTFY
But it is extremely worrying that so many devices that people require for their health and have no alternative for are so invasive and can be turned off without any warning.
Or he wants to delay things until after the election in hopes that he will get into office again and attempt to pardon all his crimes.
While it is free to download it, the license still costs. Though they seem to let you use it unlicensed for an unlimited amount of time with some restrictions (like not being able to change the background image and an ever present watermark). At least this was true for windows 10. No telling if/when they will drop that feature though, especially if loads of people start using it unlicensed like that (though I doubt that has any effect on people using it that way or not).
The software can read from both locations in a backwards compatible way. Many tools already do this.
Linux is fairly secure out the box and typically does not need any sort of extra hardening for most people unless you have a specific case you are worried about or some threat model that requires it. And hardening a system is not simply about installing some package, but more about learning to setup and utilise said packages to mitigate the threats you think you are going to be dealing with. Hardening a system generally comes with tradeoffs and these are not always worth the cost involved for what you get from them. All depends on what types of threats you think you will face - a journalist in a hostile country is going to want a far more secure system and will be more willing to compromise on other aspects to get that then some grandma that just wants to look at pictures on facebook. Both of these will want different tradeoffs for their systems.
Generally speaking I would start by reading up more about hardening linux systems, and what types of things these tools are designed to do. I would start with anything related to the system you are interested in, nixos has its own guides general security which links to many things you might want to think about. Arch Linux also has some good guides on security that are worth a read. And there is more general stuff like The Practical Linux Hardening Guide or redhats guides though these are more server focused and might offer tips that can be too restrictive for desktop systems.
As for apparmor and selinux, these are competing technologies and I don't think you can use both at once.
While true and some will do it for that reason, I bet most do it simply because the friction to forking is so low.
Some might have an intention to work on it but then don't or might start looking at it in detail then give up or get to busy or lose interest.
Others might just click it to save it for later.
And don't forget all the people that click it by accident.
It's not like it is a big investment to click the button.
