Very clever!

Are we finally going to jail suckerberg now?

Anytime shareholders are involved you know it’s going to be shit.

15 years or so, we only got together about four years ago. In the mean time we hated each other for a while due to misunderstandings, but now we’re beyond awesome together

32 billion still is nothing for these scumbags

JAIL MARC ZUCKERBERG ALREADY. That is still what we do with criminals, is it not?

https://rutracker.org/ works well

Exactly. We’ll switch to Linux, finally have security and dependable devices, and then we’ll move on

The required FF restart after updating is indeed an FF thing, but in combination with snap just updating without asking is extremely annoying.

True

I want to think here that this is more about not knowing about licenses than malice.

They did open it.

If open source developers can now keep the tax code updated, you’re all golden

Irá usually bad backend design, bad frontend design, all made by people who are only vaguely aware of security, and how it works.

It’s the same bunch that brought us “change your password every two weeks” and other insane anti security designs. They make it worse without even realizing it.

Do hope that your passwords aren’t stored in plain text!

Me too but what can you do? I can’t remember ever seeing a non techie using tech hardware in the right way.

Oh thank whatever god you believe in, that is such a blessing

I once bought a displayport to HDMI converter, plugged it in, and I could never unplug it anmore, so I just got another HDMI monitor for it

Why do display port cable connectors have these stupid latches with a crappy button that will, even when the button is fully depresses, still stick out so that removing the connector nis always a draaaagggg…

Yeah, HDMI licensing sucks but at least you can plug and disconnect HDMI in a normal way. Dispkay port is the worst

99% of the people out there

It basically IS the cause as it’s the system doing the updates without asking. But snap has other issues too. For one, it’s the slowest installer in recorded human history, it takes literally ten times longer on snap to install anything. Why? Beats me, in theory it ought to be faster as it shouldn’t have to resolve dependencies but here we are. Try installing anything with snap, it takes forever.

Then, snap is closed source eon the server side, so fuck all of that, that’s already 200% of reasons not to use it ever. I don’t trust closed source software anymore

VC?

I suggest we move all our machines over to Linux, which is the actual plan. Fuck everything about windows

Also, permanently locking a device after x failed attempts is just plain silly, security wise. You know I can take that drive out and just try to brute force it a million times per second without that silly rule being in my way, right? It’s an anti security pattern similar to requiring password changes every week, it’s a bad idea.

Yeah you know, maybe you should actually use it because I’ve been using it for the past 25 years as a desktop and I’ve had a fraction of the shit I see happening on windows desktops

Yes, shit just works. Yeah, there are issues, there are bugs, all software has bugs, but holy shit is the design better.

Windows always FRACKING ALWAYS has headache issues to deal with. I now control a fleet of machines for employees and sadly they’re windows, still, and the amount of shit we deal with on a daily basis is incredible. We’re too busy now but soon we’ll start a project to replace all machines.with Linux at which point shit will finally just work. How do I know this? I’ve done it before, ma y times.

So yeah, fuck Microsoft, fuck windows, it’s all trash

Ding ding ding, someone gottit

No, you don’t want all zeroesz, you want random data.

Within Linux you can quite easily do this yourself too
