Honestly, if an attacker has shell access you’re toast regardless. I know you shouldn’t be able to escalate privileges, but better to never let them on the machine.

Most security in industry only holds because employees have no interest in attacking, or knowledge how to attack, their employer.

Don’t need specifically SU by my understanding. Just any suid executable.

That’s not how the word gimp was used. It was a cripple. Somebody with a gimp was somebody with a limp.

Ironically, that stability is probably why AMD target Ubuntu. They don’t want everything else on the bleeding edge. Just their bit.

If you have a swap partition setup that’s larger than the RAM the Linux will hibernate into it. Trouble is a lot of people don’t bother with swap partitions these days.

No

I think framework are worthy of support even though the company is American.

1. Regardless of who you buy from… Manufacture including assembly is done in east Asia. That’s where most of your money is going.
2. Framework are not tech giants. They’re a small company battling giants.
3. The ethos of ownership, repair and upgrade needs supporting.
4. They’ve been following through on their promises.

So yes, I’m not buying US goods as much as I can also. I make an exception for Framework. They’re the resistance in an occupied nation.

Name of another similar tool, prefixed with the language it was rewritten in.

I’m always getting powers of ten wrong.

Regardless 500 workers Vs one CFO?

That would include the CFO too, right?

Alternative viewpoint. You could have retained 5,000 employees.

Tying everything on the internet to a government ID is the end goal here. That is what all the age verification laws are enabling, intentionally or not.

In a land of ICE forcefully deporting people and people losing their lives in foreign prisons or just for resisting a little, do you not think privacy is more important now than ever?

This man took a step on the road of removing all of our privacy, and the community shouted “WTF DO YOU THINK YOU’RE DOING?!?!”.

57% of adults worldwide experienced a scam in 2025

Sure. I experienced a scam and I told them to “fuck off”.

That’s not 57% fell for a scam, or 57% of android users got scammed by “side loaded” software. It’s cherry picking a stat just justify a monopolistic practice.

As a thought experiment: please recommend them a better way than bullying

We could:

• reject the PR: no, because it’s already accepted by the lead.
• try to argue with the project maintainers: already failed. This is systemd we’re talking about. They are used to just plowing on regardless of what the wider community thinks.
• reject the software: systemd is fundamental to a lot of systems, so this is very painful.

It’s not hard to see why people have resorted to bullying. It’s not right, but there’s no way to make your voice heard. OSS development is not a democracy. It’s a do-ocracy. Those that d"do" dictate. Fine when the developer is aligned with the users. Chaos otherwise.

You’re not going to get something complying with Californian law out of Brazil (for example), so you’re talking about diverging. California can have it’s own version. Sadly that pushes burden onto maintainers that may not be interested in dealing with the pain.

The engineering mindset is to have it support both use models, but that is explicitly what people don’t want. Hidden features which enable authorities to enforce toxic concepts.

It’s one battlefront of many, and a fairly significant one. As we’ve become on online society, computer software has come to encode human rights to expression and privacy. Those rights are worth fighting for.

Unless you’re randomising it constantly, it still becomes part of a fingerprint for you.

A large part of the disagreement was never a tech debate. Systemd on a purely technical level had advantages, but the arguments were always about a concentration of functionality into a single critical program. Great while things are going well. Hell when it falls apart. That fear wasn’t totally based in technical reasoning.

So Nexi can’t justify it. FSFe would be entirely within their rights to seek a judicial path.

I’d happily contribute towards that case.
