While being the very thing you accuse me of, pedantic and insufferable, the often used Phrase is demonstrably wrong and is used in a way so as to be coercive. Your mind wandering rant including teachers and authorities in Science is laughable and gives you away.
āA new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.ā

Let me also affirm in this way, maybe this will help. What does the Scientific Method produce? It's produces evidence/conclusions and theories. Moreso, it produces what we know as Science.
I can appreciate this perspective, but what you're referring to is the Scientific Method. Science is the field of the sum of all knowledge, Science as it is used, "settled", meaned, thought, correctly, by most is, "what is".
Really odd some Lemmy choices, allowing News Aggregation Posts (Simple link and summary) from a particular user that is somehow not flagged a bot/influencer/paid. I duna know how you can post Tech News Links 10 times a day, every day, for 5 months and still be allowed to post as a "person".
Also, it's the language scam of the decade to have a [privacy] agreement or terms with a "third party" which is basically anonymous/anyone/indeterminate/changing/.
A programming language cannot compromise your liberties.
As a decades experienced security professional myself I can tell you that people reading are not taking what you say seriously so I don't have to respond and tediously break apart that swath of misinformation.
You have it backwards. The kernel is Linux. A distribution is added to the kernel. The kernel is what matters, the distribution is consequent and relies on the kernel which dictates all it's functions. The distribution is flavor on top of foundation. 101.
All investment of time, money, resources, everything, should be ethical choices, ethical investing. Deciding to ignore who funds what makes you vulnerable to accept tainted diamonds, Cartel funded dispensaries, restaurants, and Policians, etc, etc. You should be wary of who you make rich, who you compensate, who you give your money to.
Ignorance of money and the resources it drives that determine the fate of people everywhere is simply ignorance and your viewpoint should not be rewarded.
It kinda already is a Microsoft project by Finance and each of them integrating the other's systems more and more. Also, the highly paid world programmers are putting non-free blobs and highly complex code into Linux and at 40 million LoC, I propose it will soon be beyond the community to run a coherent fork without all the global code.
Microsoft and Apple pervasively install thier entire platform in their Operating Systems so you can't just have what you need to have on one of their computers, you have the buy the whole platform.
If we are headed for a global AI monolith or Bladerunner type future, it will surely run on Linux! It's everywhere and Linux will never again be steered by the community.
Instead use and help make successful any Indie Operating System like Haiku, Aero, or Minix3 instead of literally working as the tinniest cog ever for a Global Mega-Corp Consortium.
You can also just use GhostBSD which is a superb Desktop BSD experience based off of stable FreeBSD that installs and works like Mint. Control your own kernel and everything about your BSD with NetBSD. Now is a great time to get into BSD with NetBSD 10 RC1. Learn it now and you'll have an OS that when released does only what you want it to do.
Finally there is the fastest BSD, Dragonfly. I made a Dragonfly BSD setup script that will turn a $250 2019 Thinkpad T495 into a lightning fast programmer workstation that does only what you want it to, and hardened. It never even makes one call out to the internet unless you typed the command in or allowed it beforehand.
If you insist on using Linux, then use a distro with an independent kernel that let's them know you would not like the Linux kernel which has been badly managed by the Dictator Linus, globally taken over.
Just so Iām clear in my communication, there is no case where nVidia can logically be a victim. Best case = co-conspirator.
I'm not sure how you could possibly mis-interpret that, but yet you still managed. I specifically worded it as "a victim", meaning a victim in any sense, which nVidia cannot be seen as no matter what spin you give it.
If you were a real account or geniune person without an agenda you would just admit that you misread me instead of the other way around.
This is super helpful, I may post this to infosec.exchange. Flathub makes this so much more difficult to find the reason for what looks like a real breach. I don't use Flathub for security reasons so I don't know if you can even isolate the PID? Anyone know?
I don't want you to have to spend a lot of time or troubleshoot over the web but if you see anything that stands out as "wow shouldn't be there/running" when you run these commands come back to us:
Let's not go all the way down the rabbit hole in one pill. Steps of one less person so inured (Definition: Made tough by habitual exposure), so hopelessly dependent on Google.
