Google fixes high severity Chrome flaw with public exploit

That’s some “fighting fire with fire” shit right there.

OP stated that a VM is not feasable because of ressources on the PC.

I very much doubt that is true. Most standard issue system these days should be able to run an emulator well enough to run iTunes.

The enshittification begins (continues?)…

This technique, which bypasses traditional antivirus systems, highlights an alarming evolution in cybercrime tactics.

It’s called steganography and has been around for ages. I wrote code back in the, well let’s just say “a while ago”, that “hid” data in PNG files.

Russia needs a good ass-kicking.

🤷‍♂️

About $5USD on Amazon.

My only real concern with the whole thing is that there’s no rubber isolators on them which could cause issues longterm.

The number of times I’ve ran a system with a hard drive just sitting on the floor of the computer without issues…

Wut?

So bottom line. Start putting the non tech consumer first or we’ll forever be stuck in this “almost mainstream” category forever.

I’m okay with that.

“Mainstream” users are getting stupider. Even Windows is to difficult for them. They want the Apple walled garden with a subscription plan for their devices and no permissions to do anything that a corporation doesn’t want you to do.

Fuck. That.

The formats are “quasi-open”. There’s still a lot of proprietary stuff in them. Or undocumented or poorly documented things. MS didn’t really want it to be an open standard.

Being compatible with them requires a lot of work to reverse engineer the formats. Some companies make licensing deals with ms to get access to better docs but must keep their code closed. Something libreoffice can’t do.

That is… A big claim. Yeah, rust minimizes or removes some categories of vulnerabilities. This is true. BUT sudo has been well tested over decades.

we’re also sponsoring the uutils project to ensure that some key gaps are closed before we ship 25.10. The sponsorship will primarily cover the development of SELinux support for common commands such as mv, ls, cp, etc.

I didn’t think Ubuntu used SELinux.

I understand you make a point about gender

No, you don’t.

Too much what exactly? Don’t use the functionality you don’t want.

Meanwhile on Windows it has basic GPU drivers for the entire OS bakes in,

Wut? Linux bundles drivers for tons of things out-of-the-box literally built as part of the kernel and many distros (e.g. Pop_OS) even provide NVidia drivers out-of-the-box as well.

First - I’d like you to reconsider you use of “grandma” as a stand-in for “somebody who is technically illiterate”. Maybe ask yourself why “grandpa” is not the go-to here and whether you may be perpetuating an ugly stereotype.

Second - I actually included handbrake in my list as an easier alternative to use.

Yeah, I could see that.

I’m genuinely confused about the use cases you all seem to have. When are you sitting in a field on your phone trying desperately to convert a .avi to a .mkv?

For desktops you just need to have ffmpeg or handbrake or ImageMagick installed - there’s nothing to “maintain”. Image conversion is as simple as convert test.jpg test.png.
