Also, Chinese cities don’t give a shit if you decorate the outside of your unit. HOAs do.

Literally one of the first complaints libs have about Chinese cities is “copy paste skyscrapers everywhere.” They have some variety in parts of the city but most of the residential areas are still “boring” and “homogeneous” and “kills individualism” according to Western internet geniuses.

Minimalism in GUIs, maybe (still, give me CLI any day). But minimalism in housing and infrastructure is absolutely critical and they are absolutely not equal to software. We need to be as efficient as we can because I don’t know if the author has noticed the state of housing in the world. How many more “boring, dull” buildings could be built for the same price? How many more if we copy pasted the same designs instead of demanding everything be unique? (But god forbid they be too different from the existing style or else the NIMBYs protesting minimalist buildings complain about that too.) The people who “prefer” the visually complex building have never been homeless in the back alley of that building before, nor have they ever been priced out of their neighbourhood by gentrification when their boring gray building gets torn down to build the pretty building.

So instead of seeing an opportunity to do the same, they burned bridges with one of the only companies not locking down their OS?

Not really. Proprietary software have just as many if not more vulnerabilities. Linux is just more honest and open about reporting them so it seems like they have more.

Honestly if you’re at the point of suspecting that your Linux system is infected, just back everything up, wipe, and reinstall. Make sure to use a known good computer to make the install disk, and completely wipe the drive before install and not use existing partitions.

People have mentioned Wireshark which you can use to monitor for suspicious network activity, but IMO for most people this isn’t super helpful because it’s hard to tell what’s suspicious and what’s normal from Wireshark alone without quite a bit of networking/software knowledge. Maybe there’s more user friendly packet capture software though, something that can string the packets together into their respective connections and summarise key information like the protocol and domain involved.

QDirStat can visualize the contents of your drive as an interactive map. Might be helpful for finding files that aren’t supposed to be there.

ClamAV is an open source antivirus available for Linux but I don’t know how well it does at actually detecting Linux malware. Seems to be more for people running file/email servers to scan incoming file uploads.

I mean corporate names aren’t better meaning wise, they just have WAY more marketing behind them so they sound natural by virtue of being in your face until you capitulate.

What does 10^100 have to do with search engines? Also they spelled it wrong.

What does the biggest rainforest in the world have to do with shopping?

What do slight muscle spasms have to do with streaming?

What does a fruit have to do with shitty locked down phones and computers?

What does a colloquial superlative prefix have to do with taxis and food delivery?

What does the sound of a clock have to do with short videos? And before that it was a plant structure.

What does a reflective finish/coating have to do with web browsing?

One of the Wright brothers maybe? Still has nothing to do with image editing though.

Fedora gets no funding and all the karen behaviour in their issues channel I bet. Working with a giant corporation as an open source project sounds like actual hell.

Not surprising, the venn diagram of people who would buy a Framework (or even know it exists) and people who would choose an open source OS (or even know they exist) overlaps quite a bit, I imagine.

Part of the problem is the “mysticism” technology has to people who don’t understand it. The tech companies have an advantage when you don’t understand how tech works and they’ll keep it that way.

Couldn’t even write a decent viral marketing ARG. Like if you’re going to go that route at least respect the art form.

They said \s, stupid

I mean, the math required is basically first year college level stuff.

Making a machine that will accurately follow that trajectory and not kill you is the hard part.

I get what you mean, but programmers in 1969 would have had their minds absolutely fucking blown by a cursor-based GUI in general, let alone modern websites.

“2030? So still a long time awa-holy shit that’s four years from now”

Tl;DR

Yet, Dolby’s lawsuit filed in the US District Court for the District of Delaware [PDF] alleges that AV1 leverages technologies that Dolby has patented and has not agreed to license for free and without receiving royalties. The filing reads:

[AOMedia] does not own all patents practiced by implementations of the AV1 codec. Rather, the AV1 specification was developed after many foundational video coding patents had already been filed, and AV1 incorporates technologies that are also present in HEVC. Those technologies are subject to existing third-party patent rights and associated licensing obligations.

Does KDE also use UserDB?

Any way to not have Systemd on NixOS?

Is this not against GDPR? I feel like this would be a slam dunk case.
