I was more concerned with government ties.

since you crawled under a rock /s
A new recall every two months is probably a world record.
then you haven’t tried many lol
bing bing wahoo moment
It won’t in 24.04 because Cosmic doesn’t support anything else
This now makes all current mainstream distros 100% unusable for blind users, as all built-in screen readers are broken on Wayland, and all the main distros now use Wayland, so you cannot even install the OS at all.
Open source is the very worst thing currently going on because it is so incredibly exploitative, it’s far more exploitative than any actual company is of the workers who work at the company.
Even the people who are getting paid in open source are getting massively underpaid to do it compared to how much the people who are using their code are making, it’s nothing compared to the power that is accreted by the people who have co-opted that work thanks to the open source model. And then mark zuckerberg gets to define how the internet works despite having paid for almost none of the software that his company actually needed to make that work.
It’s like feudalism or serfdom, these people did the work and got nothing for it. It’s like you took the worst aspects of capitalism for workers and the worst aspects of socialism for workers and put them together, that’s open source. You get no power and you get no money.
It’s exploitative whether the people chose to be exploited, just because someone chooses to let you exploit them does not meant that you didn’t exploit them. And for the record that’s how most exploitation works; convincing people to do something that turns out to be very bad for them and very good for you, and that’s exactly what the open source movement has turned out to be.
I really don’t see the “we post stuff on github under a gpl2 or lgpl or apache or mit license”, all that is to me now is just exploitation. You can say that there’s solutions but until someone demonstrates that those solutions work, it’s the standard “real communism has never been tried” argument. AGPL is the only thing that I’ve seen so far that’s an attempt to fix these fundamentally unfair compensation practices.

I think you might be in for a rude awakening.
no it’s part of the physical hardware design
RISC-V has already been ruined by a zillion proprietary vendor extensions.
Right, I’m talking about like periodic or real-time scanning and alerting, which DISM/SFC on windows does.
Fediverse itself is a privacy/GDPR minefield of epic proportions.
Nope, everyone blindly trusts AWS/Crimeflare/etc. to MITM all their traffic, storage and servers and never happen to do anything bad or leak any data. One day it’s going to bite everyone in the ass.
Even when you use AWS’s encryption feature for the VM itself, they hold the keys for you.
To be fair, I prefer nodejs/npm to have as little to do with my home folder as possible, and not have to worry about maintaining my own versions/updates/etc. as I am not a regular user of JS, don’t already have the toolchain(s) and don’t want to.
I think it’s absurd that most distros have no tools whatsoever for doing regular checksums of their own files. Windows certainly got that part right IMO.
Vivaldi is proprietary, FYI.
