Rebar under the road suggests this is a raised platform. Terrifying.

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.

You know it’s bad when AI slop is calling out your human slop.

Kombucha is pretty good.

panic! at the disco

If you’re a Rust developer

I don’t use make I use msbuild /s

Any of the classic Disney animated movies. First movie is a ripoff of classic fairy tales so most of the heavy lifting writing wise was done for them, the instant Disney has to write the whole thing is when it goes to shit. If it’s “Disney presents [insert fairy tale here] 2” you know it’ll suck.

Which is particularly ironic when they go HURR DURR .ml HURR DURR TANKIE AUTHORITARIAN HURR DURR OPPOSING OPINIONS NOT ALLOWED.

Other than the tankie part what do you do differently?

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.

Those “rent a e-bike/scooter for your commute” apps. Doesn’t take that many rides to exceed the cost of getting your own. If you find yourself using those regularly just save up to buy an e-bike/scooter.

Honestly if this was possible there are more egregious issues on their part than using AI.

“I see the problem!”

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.

I just use the web UI. It scales really well on mobile.

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.

All attempts to discover how the universe works benefits us. Even a lot of really esoteric stuff has proven useful in fields like medicine and civil engineering.

Honestly if we can pivot our high tech innovation efforts from being mainly driven by military needs to being driven by basic research (basic in this case meaning researching the natural world directly without any particular goal other than learning), we’d be a lot better off.
