    oh but guys! Linux is so much more secure than windows!

    Linux can’t get hacked or get malware! That’s absurd!

    That was all sarcasm

      Anyone who still thinks that is either new to Linux or profoundly naive.

      Also:

      It was patched in January, but as the CISA advisory indicates, some production systems have yet to install it.

      So it’s really primarily a production issue at this point.

        People still shit downvotes on me whenever I talk about how linux isn’t perfect.

        Microsoft, for all its faults is at least honest enough to admit outright that their software needs protection. They’re still not honest about what kind of protection it needs. But at least they’re not going to yoink anything off your system they don’t want you to use like Apple does

          Back in the last century, iirc, or the very early 2000’s, I logged-out of my desktop ( linux ) one time & discovered there was a new user on my machine…

          the new username was “you are dead”.

          1st time I knew I’d been cracked.

          Not a nice feeling.

          Educational, however, & motivating…

          did me good.

          I’m glad the person was more interested in communicating my trusting foolishness to me, than in doing real harm…

    I appreciate that you curate the RSS feed. I get very little time for social media these days and I’m glad there’s someone here populating feeds with content.

    I’m not a huge fan of cynicism and non-contributory comments when this space is meant to be better than the toxic sites we all fled. There’s a plethora of options for tailoring your feed to exclude unwanted content, none of which require attacking other users acting in good faith.

    Thanks to your profile, I found several new communities I will happily follow now. Keep up the good work!

      I wondered how the heck humans made so. many. posts! Thanks for this post, I may unblock someone else. But maybe not bc I didn’t need every stupid comment made by orange people (although it may be a good Idea, residing where I do, to be informed about certain developments pertaining to them).
