Underrated comment.

Or an OS that can rollback easily (ie: Silverblue and friends, NixOS…) Unless you’ve mangled your bootloader. Then the USB drive comes in handy 😄

I think they know. I think we are realising these people are eugenicists.

On what grounds is the terrorism charge constructed? Seriously.

What are you even talking about?

Must, not should. I was going to say “if he’s innocent, killing him is murder” but actually, even if he isn’t it still is.

No, he does not care at all. Nope. Doesn’t care about what the media says. No bearing, none.

Not really. Do you know how many proprietary, company-specific extensions and modules there are of the Linux kernel out there?

Loads of companies choose not to contribute their stuff back upstream. I don’t know why the NSA did originally in the case of SELinux, but I would guess it had to do with transparency, national defense and not carrying the burden of a module / fork solo. They were also not the only contributors even early on, according to the Wikipedia page

Also, if I recall correctly, there was no other option for MAC back them (no AppArmor or Tomoyo).

I have a feeling this is just looking for a clever way to say “but Linux isn’t as secure as everyone thinks”, which sure, yes. But also, not many people, especially knowledgeable people, are claiming that Linux is “secure”.

And when it comes to “privacy friendly” that depends so much on what flavour of Linux you are using (Ubuntu? a minimal Arch? Tails?) that it’s not really something you can make broad statements about.

Suse is a lot smaller than Red Hat. Amazon with their Amazon Linux rebuild of RHEL (is that still the case?) are auch larger danger to Red Hat than Suse.

Oracle is a nasty piece of work of a company, and also just push a RHEL clone (“Unbreakable Linux”, hence the Red Hat shirts “Unfakeable Linux”).

Oh no. Can we please stop pushing (Open)PGP / GPG?

Why? Refugees welcome.
