Wine/Proton isn't designed to be a sandbox. A motivated enough attacker could make an exploit that checks if it's running in wine and do some wine specific stuff.
Even if you do manage to sandbox it from your root filesystem, it still needs access to your Steam account, which an attacker could compromise.
Don't get me wrong, the whole debate is Microsoft just being performative (why not use your vast wealth to actually help people?). But honestly, putting the debate aside, "main" is just a clearer and more intuitive name.
Realistically, probably not much for people outside of the tech industry. People will use the best tool for the job, and whether it's foss or not won't matter.
Mint. It just works and Cinnamon is a good DE (ui design peaked in the Windows XP days). Plus you also get all the software built and tested for Ubuntu without the bullshit of using Ubuntu.
For my server I use NixOS, because having one unified configuration is so nice.
When going from point a to point b takes ages or is otherwise a pain. I get you worked hard on your world, but it losses its charm the 10th time running across it.
And don't force me to hold/tap a button to sprint. Or worse, make me click in the left stick.
It'll still slow them down and reduce load on your server. I also think many of these crawlers focus on volume; time spent computing the hash is time not spent crawling someone else's site.
Most registrars have some form of whois protection now, so the only people who can easily see it are the registars themselves (and the government that controls them).
Assuming you're paying for a domain using real money, they'll need your information on file as part of the online payment anyway, so using a fake id doesn't really hide anything from them.
Firstly, the Prime Minister and an MP are very different, so it's not really a fair comparison. Replacing an MP with one of the same party might result in what? Your bins being taken out on a different day?
Anyway, I think this is a "don't let perfect be the enemy of good situation". Without any safeguards, an assassination is most likely to come from someone across the political spectrum than someone next to them. So it makes sense to focus on preventing that even if it does open a potential (risky to execute) exploit.
... Isn't wanting to kill someone with vastly different views more common than wanting to kill someone with only slightly different views?
Like, sure someone could kill someone in the party they like for the chance to get someone they like better in power. But realistically it won't change much (they're still bound by the same whip) and it's not worth the risk of going to jail.
Skipped to the "ugly" part of the article and I kind of agree with the language being hard?
I think a bigger problem is that it's hard to find "best practices" because information is just scattered everywhere and search engines are terrible.
Like, the language itself is fairly simple and the tutorial is good. But it's a struggle when it comes to doing things like "how do I change the source of a package", "how do I compose two modules together" and "how do I add a repo to a flake so it's visible in my config". Most of this information comes from random discourse threads where the responder assumes you have a working knowledge of the part of the codebase they're taking about.
If you can provide evidence for what really happened, I'll happily take a look.
And yes, my language was harsh, and I apologise for that. I've just seen people making up drama to discredit communities before, and it gets on my nerves somewhat.
Copying my comment from the other thread (they've made a few).
So I got curious about this, and had a look into it.
Firstly, the entire conversation was scrubbed from the chat, and it was done so before the lemmy.ml callout post was discovered/made. So claiming that they're "okay with it" is a bit of a stretch.
Apparently, according to a quick search, Asmongold did make some choice comments about Palestine.
What I assumed happened is that people were talking about the lawsuit and someone offhandedly mentioned Asmongold. Then GlacialTurtle decided to go on a long rant about genocide and then was told to cool it. Because obviously anyone that doesn't want to talk about genocide in a server about Linux software is in fact tactily supporting genocide, Turtle doubled down and ended up getting banned. Then they went to their next platform to complain about it, Lemmy, and now here we are two degrees removed from the discussion with no actual receipts.
Somewhat fittingly, earlier yesterday, they were talking about the tragic death/murder of Mikayla Raines.
