It’a surprisingly detailed installation description 🤔

Joke project gets bonsai treatment, production gets one comment in docker compose.

[-] Strawberry 21 points 2 years ago

Dev of joke project is having fun, dev of production software is not gonna do extra work they don't have to

[-] cupcakezealot 2 points 2 years ago

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)

[-] pazukaza@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Lol

[-] darcy@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 years ago

ideally package build scripts should be checked each update (although i am personally too lazy to)

[-] pazukaza@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago

Ain't nobody got time for that 🎶

This must be the new version of Fedora

[-] mapokapo@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

It's a shame that Fedora is also the most usable linux desktop distro

[-] maeries@feddit.de 7 points 2 years ago

Wait, did they mess with fedora, too?

[-] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 6 points 2 years ago

No.

[-] blackstrat@lemmy.fwgx.uk 7 points 2 years ago

You mean, no, not yet

[-] DmMacniel@feddit.de 37 points 2 years ago

Red Hat edition?

[-] parsonpigeon@feddit.uk 8 points 2 years ago

It's a bit more than $15 for RHEL

[-] SinJab0n@mujico.org 2 points 2 years ago

That's exactly why we need to give them the boot.

[-] tool@r.rosettast0ned.com 7 points 2 years ago

That's exactly why we need to give them the boot.

Hard disagree. If you're running something business-critical, the support that you get with a RHEL license {or any other vendor, for that matter) is worth its weight in gold.

If you can't fix something, you don't want to be looking for solutions by sifting through forum posts directed at home users when the business is losing thousands of dollars per hour. That's what the license is for, and that's what you pay for.

[-] dinodroid@programming.dev 26 points 2 years ago

Even after paying, windows sells our info, every keystroke.

[-] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

Any proof? Kinda seems like major privacy violation if it sold our keystrokes like that.

[-] SinJab0n@mujico.org 9 points 2 years ago

Cortana enhanced program, enhanced tipe writing, voice recognition. Maybe they don't sell it directly, but the register every move.

[-] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

Again, proof? Articles? Anything? Pretty bold statement without evidence.

[-] SinJab0n@mujico.org 15 points 2 years ago

Their own installation process tells u about it

Am I missing something? This article is 7 years old & mentions nothing about keylogging

[-] sarsaparilyptus@lemmy.fmhy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

"Source??? Source??? Source??????"

Whoa, somebody get this man 50ccs of Source before he goes into Source Withdrawal

[-] Cabrio@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

It's called trust but verify. Without proof you're just talking shit and wasting everyone's time and effort. But you know that because you're disingenuous, not stupid, right?

[-] sarsaparilyptus@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

That point went about a mile above your head

[-] Hexarei@programming.dev 9 points 2 years ago

Please, lower it for the rest of us then, because it just looked like you were being insulting for no reason from my end.

[-] atyaz@reddthat.com 4 points 2 years ago

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?

[-] eugene1970@waveform.social 12 points 2 years ago

Definitely not, that would be an absurd privacy violation

[-] Nalivai@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 2 years ago

Ahaha, privacy. Yeah.

[-] eugene1970@waveform.social 5 points 2 years ago

I mean yeah it’s not exactly a private OS but a key logger would be mental

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.

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?

[-] spiffeeroo@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago

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.

https://about.ads.microsoft.com/en-us/solutions/microsoft-audience-network

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.

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...

[-] cupcakezealot 14 points 2 years ago

I'll wait for Linux Millennium Edition to come out first

[-] IDatedSuccubi@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

More like Linux Year of The Desktop Edition

[-] snor10@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago

I heard it is buggy, I think I'll wait for Linux Vista to be released.

[-] snor10@lemm.ee 11 points 2 years ago

The bad ending.

[-] bread_with_toast@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 2 years ago

I'll give it about tree fiddy

God Dammit Loch Ness Monster, I ain't gonna give you no tree fiddy.

[-] lawrence@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

It's ok. I have the crack.

[-] Nalivai@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 years ago

Good, but what does it have to do with Linux

[-] mertssmnoglu@programming.dev 5 points 2 years ago

Is anyone have oem keys, just asking.
