My point was that those kinds of reports are useless, this kind of feature is only useful if experienced devs voluntarily use it.

Better a false positive than false negative, as long as people aren’t submitting AI generated bug bounty reports to projects and hiding the fact they’re AI.

GitHub Advanced Security seems useful. AI has successfully found security vulnerabilities that would’ve otherwise gone undetected, and as a rule of thumb all security vulnerabilities need to be found and patched.

And KDE is predominately German.

I don’t even know what it does.

Why do people use PopOS? I genuinely don’t get it.

Fedora Kinoite is, probably, the best recommendation.

Debian is a stable server distro, but in the desktop space users expect everything to just work and while Fedora is usually backwards compatible, Debian isn’t always forwards compatible.

As for security updates, IDK.

I’m operating mostly of second-hand information I vaguely remember, I’m not an expert on these things so I’m not really the person to be discussing this with. There’s surely a reason Linus uses Fedora over Debian though.

Because holding back updates makes the system insecure and unstable.

I’m considering distro-hopping from Kubuntu to Fedora Kinoite. I just am trying to figure out how it fairs in terms of application sandboxing, what they’re doing on supply chain security (re: XZ Utils) and whether I might want to give GNOME another shake.

Is this enough to update the Fedora Linux wikipedia page, or is it still just “the distribution used by Linus Torvalds, creator of the Linux kernel (as of May 2020)”? It isn’t exactly confirmed but … like what else is he gonna use. I don’t know if he’d be caught dead using Debian or Arch, and OpenSUSE would be too wild a choice.

Commercializing means sell for profit. If a non-profit were to create a cracked version of Windows 7 with security updates and sell that for $200 an install that’d not count as commercialization. The idea here is that if Netflix took someone else’s work and made a bajillion dollars off it they’d need to ask for permission and credit the original author.

I don’t know if something still counts as intellectual property if it can be infringed upon except by for-profit entities.

I’m on the side of abolishing intellectual property, with the caveats that commercializing someone else’s work or taking credit for someone else’s work should be illegal.

If there wasn’t a profit motive we’d get much less “slop art” and more challenging art made with passion. The slop would also be far less off-putting because at least the slop would be made with love for slop.

Second-hand phones.

That’s kinda what I meant by “Microsoft is both”. I branded those as under the “effort of paying” (though I probably shouldn’t have).

Sometimes it’s about the effort of paying than the actual cost.

Of course, with Microsoft it’s both.

YouTube still isn’t ad-free like that. They devote SO much of the screen to advertisements for other YouTube videos.

I have an browser extension to remove those and haven’t seen ANY ads on YouTube in years.

Wow, the MNT Pocket Reform looks so cool, but it’s outside my budget.

I’m busy saving for the Steam Frame myself.
