So true!!!

(I learned to program before there was Google)

I learned to code on a Sinclair ZX Spectrum machine!

"Those were the days, next n" ( https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-d8UfQn3BEg&list=RD-d8UfQn3BEg... )

Ah-ah!!!

You nailed it! Simple and short!

GREAT COMMENT!!!

I couldn't think of a better way to put it!

Well done!!!

Ahahah

I'm sorry, that's actually what I meant!

It's a comparison between

Gen Y and Gen Z

and NOT Gen X and Gen Z!

It's people born after 1995 that are completely unprepared! Worst: they almost all tend to think they are prepared and that they even know more about it than previous gens (and because tech has evolved they actually accomplish more, but unfortunately they understand a LOT LESS about the underlyings of it!!! Naturally, there are exceptions! Few, however!)

I was in kind of a hurry and messed it up!!! (however, I do tend to think of Y as a transitional generation where late borns - think 92 or after - won't actually remember much of theirs "last analog generation")

So, I do agree with you!

I've tried to edit it but I'm no longer allowed to!

Thank you for pointing out my mistake!

Also, I'm kind of amazed you do remember the analog days! Being born in 87 makes you aware of it around 92 or 93! Past 95 things start to flip and after 00 all hell broke loose (what's analog again?!)!

Most people don't old up much to their 13yo memories! Keep that up! It really makes a difference "today"!

Still it does depend where you live in! This "generations" timeline work well in US cities! But if you change country or if you don't live in a city that timeline doesn't hold up that well! Tech arrives latter and the ways of life get altered later! That's why many people tend to identify more with the previous generations! Specially if you're born on a generation edge!

Yeah... scientists try to put all in one simple bag but the truth ain't that simple!

Young people on average have grown up with drastically greater understanding of what a file is than any other generation that has come before them.

I totally disagree!!! Yes, everyone works with computer, phone, tablet, whatever, nowdays!

But does generation z "knows" about what a computer is?

Absolutely not!!!

While tech has advanced and graduated IT personal know more than previous generations (obviously!), all the rest, while they do know how to do their jobs, they know nothing about computers!!! They are pretty much like everyone else that didn't know what a computer was in generations x and previous!!!

However, contrary to previous generations, because they do interact with the tech, they represent a higher security risc for them and for others!

... Because they know nothing about it!!!

It's like giving a box of matches to a neanderthal in the middle of the woods...

Almost everyone in the "Gen x and previous" that interacted with the tech, did know what they were doing (past the initial learning phase)!!!

This does not happen after gen x!

it's wonderful it got ported to qt6.

It's surely the most feature full audio player for linux (maybe even windows...)

this is old news to me! I've known this from about ~15 years now...

And to think people need to lie and create stories with the sole purpose of shaming the church when it actually has true stories like this! (it was other times, nonetheless!)

it just shows the level of culture of those who create the lies...

(do notice, however, that wikipedia is a terrible source for history! Very biased in general. better to redirect to brittanica (E.g.: https://www.britannica.com/topic/Cadaver-Synod ) or other trustful source)

Meh... still not based on LXQt :(

Would be very interesting to see how other IM behave with this:

For example: Jami - one of the most feature-complete, distributed IM...

Funny... no one mentioned

Jim Warner Wallace's

COLD-CASE CHRISTIANITY

It really should be read by everyone!!!

Amazing!!!

I want this in my regular browser (you ear me Mozilla && Servo devs?!)

An Adobe Flash alternative that worked with CSS or SVG animations for the web

Yeah!!!

Having it side by side on the installer would be the right way to do it!!!

openSUSE guys also do it that way (no advanced button, however! just an extra step at the installer)

yes, but it's still hidden behind the "Spins" label.

The change means moving it into the "Editions" label!!!

(hopefully label it as Plasma Workstation vs Gnome Workstation)

yeah!!! I agree with you!

"And Linux isn't minimal effort."

I don't agree with this anymore!!! Linux, presently, it's an easy OS. You don't have to get to the CLI if you don't want to. If you're "just" a simple user you can just live in the GUI like in windows and get on with it!!!

Where is this part documented?

i don't have any example over this part. Maybe the OP has...

Still, a layered approach is great "on paper" (and probably the best actual solution we have atm), but it is only great in practice if it's well coded and the op is right that in lots of cases there are numerous flaws.

yes, you have failsafes on the layer bellow, but then again... it's just another "challenge" to find the flaw...

If we have a simple and effective code (à lá unix: do one thing, do it well), that has the possibility of becoming more effective that "flawed layers".

yeah... we can have multiple - simple - layers... but again... that will also raise the possibility of unforeseen flaws...

all in all: it's always a double-edged sword...

you're right and the op is right XP

(unless the layered approach is actually really really well coded!!! That's the ideal... but not many can do it!!! - i surely can't ahahah)

Linux on x86 will target high value users.

I'm not sure i agree with all you said.

Servers: mostly are not on x86. Also they are a lot more difficult to exploit due to the security nature of linux (yes, they go down very often and nothing is unhackable)

developers, sysadmins: tend to have the hardest configs and thus making it a lot more difficult to hack.

So, afaik, most of the hacks on this areas are more due to human flaws than the systems per se.

Now, i do agree that for a group of hackers with profound knowledge and that is trying to hit really big, servers are more attractive. devs and sysadms alone/personally not that much! ... unless ... they are targeting the servers managed by those devs and sysadms and in this case, targeting the devs and sysadms personally make more sense - which tend to be one of the best/easiest ways to hack the servers - again, exploiting human flaw instead of system flaw)

naturally, this is my personal view! I may be wrong here!

yeap... i really don't know what i'm talking about, how would I...

I also don't like to go with the flock...

and... how cares about the defaults? You have the options you should care to configure things for yourself. if you don't know how you should search and instruct yourself to do it.

About iOS... Have you even considered that Apple has forced their rendering engine ( https://gprivate.com/6btxx ) and that alone makes it impossible to have an adblocker - yeah... apple is THAT great!!! (in fact, their products are the best of the best. You should keep using them...)

but then again... i don't know what i'm talking about, do I!!!

(also... you should learn how to be polite to others!!!)

yeah... that's the "details" i talk about we have to ignore.

They take privacy and security seriously but then they have all this "extras" (ads, cryptocoins, rewards and a bunch of other things i don't like...)

All in all, i would say it's probably the best within the Chromium-based browsers, but i still don't use it!

RedoxOS, yes... I like that!!! :)

But i still prefer Genode/Sculpt + seL4 (https://genode.org)

they are doing amazing work there!!! If only they had a nice GUI (say... LXQt, for example)

naturally! There are always exceptions and there will always be people that will bother targeting those 10%.

Even more: if they could create something that targets both platforms that will be even better...

The question will always be of Work Vs Gain. Will your work result in gain. Does it justify targeting those 10%? (if it's an "easy thing to do" then we'll all get targeted)

not sure why you say it's a "controversial comment"...

What you say is well documented and you made a reasonable comment!

The bigger the software, the more likely it is to be exploited...

Yes,

Specially Brave (within the Chromium-spectrum only) is probably one of the best choices (if we ignore some details, of course...)

Still, i actually have more faith in servo: https://servo.org

Let's not talk about privacy (because there is no point in talking about it: Firefox is eons more private than Chrome - or any of it's based browsers - can ever be)

About security: Chrome has a biggest workforce, yes. but let's think about this a bit...

First, let's not forget that chrome is also a bigger target.

let's imagine this: Consider that 90% of the users worldwide use chromium-based browsers, and you are an hacker who wants to steal peoples data or access their computers.

Would you bother targeting 10% of the users. Or would you just go after those 90%???

now add another detail into that thinking:

people who use Firefox are mostly techies, people who know about computers, gnu/linux users, developers, more security-conscientious users, people who actually know and care about the tech that goes bellow, people that knows what's happening in the IT world, and people that simple don't go with the flock without studding it's path first... now... would you really bother targeting those when you have 90% of people - where probably 85% don't know anything about computers or just don't give a #$%& about it???

Would you go easy bait, or would you try to outsmart those who might be at the same level you are???

(sure, there is always exceptions!!!)

but then again... maybe that's just me...

I'm not sure what to think of this.................

if it's 100% private (e.g.: users are not at all identifiable) then it's probably ok... but i'm not sure it will be 100% private...

My favorite music player is alive!

The biggest problem is just one:

Nobody Cares

(at least 95% does not)

We can say M$ tried to fight the spy-system (you can see that with the scroogled campaign) but learnt that - say - 95% didn't care...

so why couldn't they get rich as Google and Facebook was getting?!?!

Problem solved!

everyone is eating what they ordered.

Bon Appetite

Great news!!!
