It’a surprisingly detailed installation description 🤔
Joke project gets bonsai treatment, production gets one comment in docker compose.
Dev of joke project is having fun, dev of production software is not gonna do extra work they don't have to
Yes, finally Linux gets a Bonzi Buddy release.
Actual question. Isn't installing stuff from third party repos like super dangerous? The package scripts run with root access, right?
So, I guess you could tell if the hash of the package matches the hash of the code after you build it... But, what about upgrades on that package after it is installed? They could change the setup scripts and screw a lot of people right?
Not saying these guys do it, just wondering about security stuff.
quote stolen directly from the repo:
"Science isn't about WHY. It's about WHY NOT. Why is so much of our science dangerous? Why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you on the butt on the way out, because you are fired." — Cave Johnson (Portal 2)
Lol
ideally package build scripts should be checked each update (although i am personally too lazy to)
Ain't nobody got time for that 🎶
This must be the new version of Fedora
Wait, did they mess with fedora, too?
No.
You mean, no, not yet
It's a shame that Fedora is also the most usable linux desktop distro
Red Hat edition?
It's a bit more than $15 for RHEL
Even after paying, windows sells our info, every keystroke.
Any proof? Kinda seems like major privacy violation if it sold our keystrokes like that.
Is it really that bad? I haven't used it in years so I'm not following it. Do they literally have a built-in keylogger?
Definitely not, that would be an absurd privacy violation
Microsoft does collect a lot of data. But storing every keystroke is first of all impractical, because it would take a lot of disk space to store every keystroke of every user, and secondly not very useful unless they also knew when, in which application, and in what context each key was pressed.
Ahaha, privacy. Yeah.
I mean yeah it’s not exactly a private OS but a key logger would be mental
At this point I don't think it will be, to be honest. And at this point they don't need one, their pretend assistant has the ability to record all the activity anyway
Yeah I guess it was hyperbole but I wasn't sure
Think about it practically. Microsoft is not an advertising company, they make their money from enterprise software. Windows is installed on billions of computers. The infrastructure required to accept and process every single key pressed by every single windows user and turn it into something usable would be enormous. And for what? To make a few extra millions by selling it to some advertising company?
Microsoft is an advertising company just like Google, Meta, Amazon, and Apple. Bing search and Edge browser in Windows are a few ways ads are shown to users. Netflix is using Microsoft ads network for their platform to show to their subscribers. Companies pay a lot of money to get preferential suggestions/queries on their stores and search engines.

Microsoft generates over 10 billion US Dollars per year in revenue from their advertisement division. The revenue growth from their advertisement business is growing exponentially at around 10 percent every year.
Fair enough, I didn't know they actually operated an ad network outside their own services. I still don't think they are keylogging everyone though
The right license in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world. So, wake up, Mister Torvalds. Wake up and... smell the ashes...
I'll wait for Linux Millennium Edition to come out first
More like Linux Year of The Desktop Edition
I heard it is buggy, I think I'll wait for Linux Vista to be released.
The bad ending.
paybuntu when
Pay 2 Win(dows)
I'll give it about tree fiddy
God Dammit Loch Ness Monster, I ain't gonna give you no tree fiddy.
It's ok. I have the crack.
Good, but what does it have to do with Linux
Is anyone have oem keys, just asking.
FXLinux?
