  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    It’s called “redundant acronym syndrome”, or “RAS syndrome” for short.

    using foss operating systems and installing lots of spyware and proprietary software on it double finger guns

    Who would do such a thing? side-eyes Discord, Spotify, Bitwig, Steam, VS Code, Sublime, etc. on my taskbar

    *Clones vscode source and packages it using electron

    [–] Barometer3689@feddit.nl 20 points 2 years ago

    Like all cases, it depends. I use both foss and proprietary software. I always checkout foss first when needing new software.

    Do the *ladder.

    It's like a dance move. Climbing motion.

    FOSS is sometimes less secure, because it builds on the fact that the user is also a contributor, not all decisions are premade and there is a ton of freedom.

    Take Android or iOS for example, both are pretty much equally secure and both are very freedom restricting.

    These are core architecture advantages like

    • encrypted user accounts
    • the system actually using the secure element
    • monopole allowing them to enforce a mostly opt-in permission model
    • apps need to comply or they dont exist

    Android is still mostly Open source but it isnt really free from the user perspective. This is not really the purpose of FOSS tbh, but FOSS software is often very configurable, allows replacing stuff, using what you want, which increases attack surface a lot.

    It's funny how people forget games are software.
