Stop buying their products.

I feel like someone in this thread should be calling someone else a tankie, even if only for the meme of it.

I don't care who it is, they give the information, then authorities verify it. If it comes up verified, there you go.

"Orange man with small hands does another illegal thing, this might be the end"

It never is. Fuck you to every sensationalistic "news" outlet that continues to post the same artcle with differnt herbs and spices for the 10,000th time.

He's a douchebag. We all know already. Shut the fuck up about it unless he's in jail or dies. Then shut the fuck up about his dumbass kids. I don't want to start hearing about them for the next 40 years after I'm finally rid of their asshole father.

When he was forced to actually buy it (instead of just being a memelord), I immediately thought he would try to tank it (to the ends of whatever money juggling bullshit that rich people get up to).

Stories like this aren't doing much to change my mind.

In no particular order;

  • Detecting "installed" software is iffy. Linux can have all kinds of things running on it that aren't "installed" as-such (same as Windows with portable EXEs, Linux has AppImage/etc). Excepting things like that, you can detect installed apps through the package managers (apt/pkg/yum/snap/etc).
  • OS updates in Debian-likes and Redhat-likes are controllable out of the box, but I'm not familiar with a way to prevent a user from doing them (other than denying them root access, which might make it hard for them to use the system, depending on what they need to do).
  • I've had a lot of good results with OpenVPN.
  • lol antivirus. Not saying Linux doesn't get viruses, or that there arent antiviruses for Linux, but the best way to avoid getting them is still to just avoiding stupid shit. Best thing I can offer is that if you have some kind of centralized storage, check that for compromised files frequently, and keep excellent backups. And make sure your firewalls and ACLs don't suck.

Good, fuck 'em. Stop ressurecting dead people with shitty inaccurate software hacks.

[-] AlexanderESmith@kbin.social 39 points 10 months ago

Right. Like the motive isn't fucking obvious.

Why the fuck would you pause it? They should lock an actual gag around his mouth and leave it there.

[-] AlexanderESmith@kbin.social 21 points 11 months ago

Fuuuck.

It seems like just yesterday I was listening to Dana's comedy bits about Dex as a ~5 year old.

To be fair; Some people just have shitty friends.
