@JessTheUnstill @bohwaz @punkfairie @ajsadauskas @tomiahonen @fuchsiii Exactly...

Coincidentially, that's why #Android (and #iOS) doesn't let users have #root access because billions of devices owned by mostly "#TechIlliterates" that hardly get #SecurityUpdates would be an even bigger risk if they didn't boot a locked-down #ROM image, thus only allowing for #malware in user-privilegued userspace!

Cuz having a mobile OS that shoves everything through #Tor and only allows #userspace-Apps in the form modern web technologies would be a big #security and #privacy gain.

  • Not to mention #amd64 is on it's way out and inevitably they gotta have to transition to supporting #arm64 and eventually #RISCv-#64bit at some point.

Wäre vielleicht geschickt sich als #iOS Nutzer*in jetzt schonmal über alternative #Hardware, #Bootloader, #Root und #CustomOS zu informieren. Ist überhaupt kein Hexenwerk und dürfte in den kommenden Jahren wohl anfangen eine größere Rolle zu spielen!

@ai6yr @briankrebs OFC this targets #TechIlliterates and the only effective means here are:

  1. Teach #TechLiteracy instead of consumerism.
  2. Mandate #confirmation & #notification - #PopUp|s for every use of #Clipboard (similar to #webcam use by websites)...
  3. Ban #JavaScript - seriously!
  4. Ban #Windows, because it's a #Govware, espechally since #Windows10 and even more so on #Windows11 that is *insecure in every configuration!
  5. Put #TechIlliterates before a system they can't feck up. I.e. @tails_live @tails / #Tails for that reason alone (can't run such commands if they neither got #root nor any #persistent #storage to target).
  6. Normalize the use of @torproject #TorBrowser!
  7. #Teach #tech #literacy instead of #consumerism!
  8. Ban #GAFAMs and their shitty products!
  9. Migrate every #TechIlliterate to #Linux and don't give them administrative privilegues.
  10. Teach tech literacy instead of consumerism!

Ma’alkoush was happy his daughters, Feast and Slaughter, had invited over a few human friends. He left them to it.

“Da-aaad!” Slaughter shouted.

Ma’alkoush hurried into the lounge.

“They’re all ill, like vomiting and stuff!” Slaughter said as he entered the room.

Two human youngsters were groaning in the corner, looking greener than they should. There was the sound of another retching in the bathroom.

Feast said, “It’s like they’ve been cursed, but we didn’t—”

“Or poisoned, maybe? What did you give them?” Ma’alkoush asked.

“Only plant things. Eve is a vegetarian.”

“Some plants are poisonous to humans. You’re only half human. Demon blood protects you.”

He looked at the food on the table. “Did you give them elderberries? That’s definitely a plant humans shouldn’t eat. Not deadly, but very unpleasant.”

Wide-eyed, Slaughter asked, “Even the roots?”

“Yes, even the roots.”

As the building shuddered, the rogue flinched. "Now what? It's not going to stop."

The barbarian hefted his axe. "We'll sell our lives dearly."

"Amateurs." The mage rolled his eyes. "If we know what the creature wants, we can make it leave."

"Huh?"

"What's the #root of its problem?"

"It's hungry."

"There!" The mage beamed. "So we feed it."

The rogue scowled. "That's what we're trying to avoid!"

One thing I have from immutable (atomic) distros, and is how cumbersome is installing apps that require root permissions.

Supposedly you have to use Distrobox. Even that never worked for me. I always have to resort to `rpm-ostree` and then uninstall it so BootC can update the system. Every single time.
