Venture capitalism is what it’s called, I think

Yes, something where FOSS shines. Linus’ law and Kerckhoff’s principle.

Too bad this doesn’t really mention the Fediverse or open-source software. Seems a next logical step

I… Don’t understand what you said here 🫤

Ugh.

I mean… For real, I’ve never heard of Linux systems being hacked this way. I’m sure it’s possible, but it certainly seems rarer.

Slipping shit in upstream also certainly doesn’t happen "that* often. It takes effort to become recognised enough as a developer to be allowed access to the upstream code, meaning you can’t automate those kinds of attacks. (I imagine. Correct me if I’m wrong.)

Don’t forget the raging alcoholism

Bless you.

I would never buy this, but it’s nice that it exists

I mean… There’s good laptop brands. Stuff like https://shop.mntre.com/ or https://frame.work/

SLAMMED

Oh… That’s… Disappointing. Firefox it is, then, for now.

It’s weird… It makes “business” sense, too. If you want people to use your stuff and you can choose to appeal to more people, why wouldn’t you? I think we’ve reached the stage of normalcy now where using “they” and “them” are not in itself something that would necessarily scare away right-wing users (given you want to keep appealing to that attractive market, too.)

Good to know, thanks for passing this on!

Ah… Proprietary hardware and software. Ugh.

Hadn’t heard of this, but I’m going to switch now!

At least. Honestly I’m expecting a full dictatorship at this point…

Meta was really GENOCIDED for their deeds.

Oh! That guy who murdered a CEO was called Luigi too, that must be what they meant!

I tried to stop following American news after Trump’s re-election, so I probably haven’t seen this story as often as most others here have.

…I don’t get it.

Honestly, my problems with Apple go beyond just the privacy issues.
