The main advantage of NixOS containers, to my limited understanding, is that since they are built by Nix, all dependencies are updated with nixpkgs (no woefully out of date stuff in one of the layers of the container image) and you can pin these if you need to.

I’d like to understand the differences and similarities between the two better too though.

I think they know. I think we are realising these people are eugenicists.

C’est quoi “les wokes” ?

On what grounds is the terrorism charge constructed? Seriously.

What are you even talking about?

Must, not should. I was going to say “if he’s innocent, killing him is murder” but actually, even if he isn’t it still is.

No, he does not care at all. Nope. Doesn’t care about what the media says. No bearing, none.

Not really. Do you know how many proprietary, company-specific extensions and modules there are of the Linux kernel out there?

Loads of companies choose not to contribute their stuff back upstream. I don’t know why the NSA did originally in the case of SELinux, but I would guess it had to do with transparency, national defense and not carrying the burden of a module / fork solo. They were also not the only contributors even early on, according to the Wikipedia page

Also, if I recall correctly, there was no other option for MAC back them (no AppArmor or Tomoyo).

I have a feeling this is just looking for a clever way to say “but Linux isn’t as secure as everyone thinks”, which sure, yes. But also, not many people, especially knowledgeable people, are claiming that Linux is “secure”.

And when it comes to “privacy friendly” that depends so much on what flavour of Linux you are using (Ubuntu? a minimal Arch? Tails?) that it’s not really something you can make broad statements about.

It could also be, simply, that she’s a lying bastard.

It’s pretty clear from the few mentions of her positions in the article that she has at best a very superficial relationship with facts and the truth.

Non non non, ça ça ne compte pas, ça marche pas comme ça ! Cest la liberté de faire comme les autres et pas autrement (surtout quand mon industrie en dépend).

Kinda. They are better than most, but don’t score that well on Ethical Consumer’s grading. (I could look up why, if anyone’s interested.)

And while they do offer free repair, which is wonderful and something i genuinely command them for doing, the results can be hit or miss. I had a pair of jeans with pretty standard areas worn out come back from a repair with a massive piece of mismatched denim covering almost the entire upper part of the pants. Unwearable. I ended up having to pay a local shop to redo the repair properly. And the Patagonia customer rep didn’t seem to see the problem with the repair and offered… 15% off my next order.

I’m assuming that’s a funny sarcastic take, given the sub we’re on.

Suse is a lot smaller than Red Hat. Amazon with their Amazon Linux rebuild of RHEL (is that still the case?) are auch larger danger to Red Hat than Suse.

Oracle is a nasty piece of work of a company, and also just push a RHEL clone (“Unbreakable Linux”, hence the Red Hat shirts “Unfakeable Linux”).

Oh no. Can we please stop pushing (Open)PGP / GPG?

Fuck if that will happen.

They can’t even agree to limit coal, they can’t care about rocks, so sentient beings?

Le titre en question :

Dérapage des finances publiques : Gabriel Attal estime devant le Sénat avoir pris des « décisions fortes »

L’ancien premier ministre a par ailleurs défendu son ministre de l’économie, Bruno Le Maire, jugeant « scandaleux » le « procès politique, médiatique » qui lui est fait, et saluant son « obsession de désendetter la France ».

This is a perspective than can only be held in a political system that has devolved to a two-party system.

If you step out of that, it stops making sense. A democracy allows for people to express their actual opinion. Anything less than that is not a proper democracy. I’d argue there are no “third parties” in a proper democracy.

You might be saying that the American regime is illegitimate, it’s unclear.

Entirely agree. The people responsible for trump getting votes are the people voting for Trump.

Tactical voting is bullshit of the highest order and the undeniable sign of a fucked up political and voting system, not some sort of political astuteness.

If your voting system can’t allow people to express their true choice, you should throw it away. Yes, that means the majority of voting systems around the world are bad and need to be changed. Getting people to recognise that this is even an issue in the first place is a huge battle.

Excellent, thanks for sharing this.
