Probably not after it was paid off

Not everyone thinks of dog, there's a bit of a bell curve.

No, sadly leopards are eating the proletariat faces, but they're his proletariat faces

Yay. This is excellent news and hopefully the beginning of a trend.

No source code is perfect, and the xz utils vulnerability highlights how having everything fall to enthusiasts alone isn't perfect. Adding some state level actors into the soup will hopefully add some additional validation to many key tool chains. (I wouldn't trust state actors alone, as some governments clearly don't have their citizens best interests at heart, but as another set of eyes to a public source, I think is good)

Cracking a phone is pretty doable. Cracking phones in a way that will hold up in a court trial, much more formal.

I thought her insights were practical and grounded. Do you disagree about the factual nature of their anecdote about engagement with cameras off? Or that the anecdote isn't indicative of general audiences? Would you care to elaborate on what you mean by "what actual people are actually like"?

It's worse then that. They're actively profiting from that discount rate, meaning they're ludicrously profiting from everyone who doesn't spend half their life getting discount codes (the cost of convenience)

Yep yep. Was hoping someone would call me out on that. 😝

Nah. I've been advocating for Linux for decades. For decades I've been trying to convince people to switch on its own merits, but none of that has been effective.

It took Microsoft sabotaging their product for me to see the needle shift. So I'm done trying to convince people with carrots, it's time for Microsoft to convince the masses with sticks.

What's next Microsoft? Replace the windows os loading windows page with a 30s ad? Or have defender uninstall apps if a competitor pays enough? Maybe capture a screenshot of my screen every 3 seconds for AI analysis?

If your goal is to play "Robin Morningwood Adventure - A Gay RPG" from the comfort of your closet without your aunt getting a notification, then you want to mark the game private.

Obviously, this is insufficient if you don't want the watchful eye of Valve themselves to be upon your gaming session.
