I do Linux research for a living and I barely give a shit.
The best feedback I ever got on an assignment in grad school was “wow, your homework looks like a textbook!”
It may not always be correct, but it’s always pretty!
They usually don’t have a choice. They know this stuff is bad, but they need it to demonstrate compliance with XYZ framework so they can fill out the marketing copy so sales can land a contract with some big customer that wants to know why $competitor has better security than you.
Holy shit, I remember now.
Because we have surrendered so much control of our lives to these companies we can hardly envision an alternative.
they haven’t solved it yet
Google hasn’t solved it yet either. You’ve probably all experienced the deluge of AI generated garbage with almost zero pertinent information clogging up search queries. And those aren’t even politically motivated. It’s getting harder and harder to even find actual information from actual humans.
Some of these stores are planning to have food trucks and other event stuff during the strike to raise money for SBWU. So if you’re near one, check it out!
A lot of people here in the US have bought into this as their retirement strategy. The value needs to go up, so they can downsize and ride the leftover cash for the rest of their life. If the number doesn’t go up, they can’t retire. This forces otherwise normal people to become very, very, invested in ensuring real estate is an asset with value that outpaces what people can afford. It’s a ponzi scheme.
They cite grsec, that guy is a notorious troll. I’ve seen customers apply their patches thoughtlessly, on bad advice, and bring down production systems. Linux security isn’t perfect (if it was I would be unemployed) but a lot of those problems are solved on properly configured modern systems.
