Their statement is that Alpine is designed such that it is friendlier to corporations who want to lock down their devices and prevent you from modifying them.
You cannot use coreutils and have a DRM locked down device.
You can use Alpine w/ musl + busybox and make a DRM locked down device
Alpine’s licensing favors large corporation’s rights in preventing the user from modifying their device
Operating systems using coreutils favor the end user’s rights
If they can take my unlocked device by force, they can probably also break my fingers to coerce me to unlock it See also: https://xkcd.com/538/
Randall is right in pointing out you need to consider your attack vectors, but this doesn’t mean you shouldn’t take reasonable precautions
Most people are more likely to run into the type of attack OP references than someone who can break LUKS encryption stealing their device
I wasn’t confident which requirement you were missing, but I love that error
The default in systemd, unless your distribution has modified it either globally, or for a specific service, is 90 seconds
Wasn’t France the one that started switching to Matrix and funded a bunch of improvements?
It’s great that Germany is doing the same, I just remember Matrix talking about money from France and helping the French government deploy Matrix for government use back in the day. A lot of the E2E encryption improvements were attributed to their collaboration with France at the time
That one’s especially egregious because the Direct Rendering Manager handles displaying things to the screen, where you might have Digital Rights Management involvement in the form of HDCP support, etc.

I wasn’t trying to give a positive side, I was just explaining why Microsoft wants the feature
If the executable binary has to be signed with a key, similar to the module signing key, Microsoft could sign their binaries
This, along with secureboot, would prevent the owner of the machine from running eBPF programs Microsoft doesn’t want you to run, even with root
I agree, but the wording of that is imprecise…
Google reimplemented the same API (which should be legal) but “use” sounds like they called Oracle’s implementation of the function
Oracle tried to argue that writing your own virtual machine with the exact same same interface as theirs (even a clean room reimplementatio, or an improved version) was copyright infringement
If Oracle had won, it would likely have killed things like OpenJDK, WINE, Proton, Rosetta, etc. and would have made licensing around OpenGL/Vulkan very confusing (for a few examples)
The Ubuntu security team only supports the ~2,000 packages in “main”
Things like ffmpeg are in “universe” and only get security updates if you subscribe to Ubuntu Pro
Debian’s security team has always been significantly more responsive than Ubuntu. It’s regularly had CVE fixes in older versions of Debian that newer versions of Ubuntu don’t bother to pull into universe
Sure, I just wasn’t sure if 2^9 has some historical significance in nazism or fascism
512 million seems just specific enough… is that a reference to something, or just a random large number?
FWIW, if you decide to go with KDE and manage to delete your panel, it’s

My job is literally to make Linux distros using Yocto for various boards. I’m constantly writing new build scripts or updating build scripts, debugging the kernel/systemd/glibc and whatever libraries are on the system.
All of my work and personal desktops run some version of Fedora Atomic or a uBlue variant right now.
With distrobox/toybox/brew and using podman/docker/KVM+qemu, even as a tinkerer, it’s great
A safe would make more sense for an encrypted partition or directory
And “the specific resource ID” is almost certainly for localization of the text
Maybe it’s a generational thing, or geographic thing?
My wife was born in a village near Xi’an, and lived there for ~22 years
She isn’t into fengshui, and doesn’t adhere to any major superstitions (I guess other than you have to keep your belly button warm 😂)
Fixed, thanks
