How do you implement that? How is it feasible that Microsoft tests all the third party drivers?

Don't get me wrong I believe Microsoft is partly to blame for this problem as well but for making it so hard for system admins to go around the system and solve things (as compared to Linux where you can do anything). I think sys admins would have solved this much faster if they were using Linux systems

I was just probing your argument because I guessed it was the typical nonsense of Microsoft bad, Linux good, without a good explanation

Can you explain why you think this is a Microsoft issue?

Yes. I'm no security expert, but ebpf always seemed a bit weird to me. But in the end how much different is it from kernel drivers?

You look so kewl if I were a child again I'd speak just like you

Can you expand more, why it is limited?

This is proof you shouldn't invest everything in one technology. I won't say everyone should change to Linux because it isn't immune to this, but we need to push companies to support several OS

Yes yes go read my other comments.

If you read my other comments you'll see that I defend exactly what you said ...

Yes I think we both agree with that. It was a misinterpretation on my part of OP arguments: no charging at all vs charging students

but a society which levels the financial burden on the student is imposing an artificial and indefensible barrier on their collective progress.

I absolutely agree with this.

Finally, taxes don’t pay for anything when the funding originates from the issuing entity of a fiat currency.

Not sure I understand your point

A society which charges students to acquire knowledge values neither.

Because this is literally what he said. He never mentioned sports, just charging in general.

I understand his sentiment, but it's not practical.

Read my comment again, you entirely missed my point: I want to think about it as paying it for others. I'm all for it I'll gladly pay taxes to allow others to go study, it's one of the things I'll defend fiercely. An educated society is a better one

What I meant is someone has to pay for it, it's not free lunch. You're right that the students don't pay it through taxes, but someone has to. Myself as a working person do pay for others through taxes

Edit: as people seem to have failed to see my point: I'm glad my taxes help pay for other's studies

That seems like an Utopian view you're not paying for the knowledge but for the resources to learn and accreditation. Universities, professors, etc don't pay for themselves. Even when University is "free" you are paying it through taxes - which is still fine by me.

I don't agree, though, with the prices practiced in the US, that's just a way of restraining the population. Where I'm from, going to college is not expensive, I cannot fathom having to pay those ridiculous prices.

So someone who wrote their own functional operating system and browser from scratch which he is now targeting the public with, is not comfortable learning something new?

You are all assuming that the project will be c++ only when the authors haven't said anything about the matter. Who knows if they aren't open to moving to rust? The project is originally in c++, not only but, because that's what the target OS supported. There are examples of other browser moving from c++ to rust (Firefox) who says they can't do the same?

Let's be honest, we both were childish :)

English is not my first language. I saw the mistake and left it here. You fixated on that simple mistake instead of answering the main point

I'm not sure 10 years old are allowed on the internet. Isn't it time for Coco and bed?

I agree that Rust would be an interesting choice for this project but there's a reason why this particular project is done in C++
