Window manager people definitely are in need of good file managers because every time i see someone use a window manager system it's always:
nautilus
gnome-keyring
gtk-whateverutility
bruh.

Surprised by the enormously positive reactions to his task manager, @thomasklemenc decided to release TaskSlinger as a free beta! Go check it out now!

Just found out an active File Pilot community member @thomasklemenc made a task manager inspired by it! Handmade from scratch, C++, win32, D3D custom renderer, 1.55 MB. More of this in my feed, less AI slopware.

Interesting news
Worrying. But I was always a paying customer.

@PureRinFunction If its a work laptop i need to take outside then the hard drive is encrypted.
That's about all I need in terms of security.

@bee_fumo Ofc your personal device does not need to be infinitely secure (it just has to be secure enough to deter other people from wasting their time on you).
English
I am kind of shocked how many people disagree with this statement considering linus torvalds himself has gone on record for not really being focused on security.
Guys it's fine that your average linux distro is not secure by default. Not everything needs to be insanely secure.
That's why we have projects full of people who care about that stuff.(like the SELinux people at the NSA which whose software prevented the recent vulnerabilities and kept your android device safe)

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang was spotted eating Beijing’s famous fried bean sauce noodles. Huang, who is in Beijing as part of Donald Trump’s state visit to China, seemed perfectly content relishing the local staple right on the sidewalk. Follow our coverage from the summit: bloom.bg/3PDfoVX

@HSVSphere If you think about it that command is german, aryan, hitlerian even
It's hitler's top command.

This command would be named rmmaefaogapceusssuaiufabr on a POSIX system, which is obviously better

my dream OS would be - looks like windows 7 - runs all windows app natively - the privacy and security of linux

let me clarify even further on point 3.
I firmly believe that every decision that makes windows slower less performant more privacy disrespecting and buggier comes directly from management and not the developers.
Granted it should be noted that microsoft developers are now jut imported modern day slaves from india with barely any real qualifications.

1. Not less, not more than RHEL for example. And the plus side of that is you can tailor your distribution as you see fit. 2. You just don't. You can definitely install software as a non-privilege user. But you can restrict the execution outside of some filesystems and/or directory. Which is awesome, and a big plus for security. If you prevent non-privilege users from running self-installed software, you reduce dramatically the attack surface. (Such parameters exist as well in windows btw) 3. And we know how good Microsoft is at producing quality software. You get the same (paid) overworked and amateur developers working at Microsoft. You just don't see it because it is closed source. Not seeing a problem doesn't make it disappear. Did you know that the vast majority of Microsoft Azure runs on Linux? Why do you believe Microsoft spend so much time, money and energy developing Linux software if their product was so much better?

@NTGKerwas Certainly important but again don't get security advice from me.
I'm the type of maniac that does this

@guigotgit Software only? Not sure, it ain't your average Linux distro though.
English
@ramennnnoodle Oh I know they can make no mistake.
Its how I installed fedora the arch(TM) way. However its a far cry from a good solution.
And you know, many they should not place packages in your account either.
English
Most package managers actually do let you specify a custom root so you *can* actually install packages to your local user directory (you can also do that anyway if you build stuff yourself from source), it's just not default or recommended behaviour
🐝🇬🇷@bee_fumo
Okay here goes. 1. One of the benefits of BSDs/Windows/Mac is that the entire operating system is a single package developed by the BSD/Windows/Mac devs. instead of being a collection of packages from random projects we all happen to share. 2. Really do not like the fact we need to use root to install packages. There's no reason why i should need to use root to install neovim or steam all non system packages should be shoved in a seperate piece of storage that is aware of both per user or multiuser installs. (nix is cool) 3. Most of the people working on your applications are unpaid, overworked, or amateurs. Not necessarily the people working on your distro. But if you combine it with 1 and 2 you start realizing how much power random people on github have over your system. Now make no mistake there's a few things we do better than Windows but also not that better. For example the fact we ship mostly open drivers ourselves is a good thing. However we should probably start moving towards drivers in the userspace as much as possible. Android started doing that and I think it's the correct approach. I could certainly see a linux-drivers project working in tandem with linux and linux-firmware.

Age-verification laws designed for iOS & Android are creating headaches for the open-source world, and the Linux community is pushing back.
Our founder, Carl Richell, has been one of the voices engaging directly with lawmakers on this. As he testified before a Colorado House committee: "Open-source software ensures that everyone, regardless of age or background, can learn, experiment, and build at the most fundamental level."
Colorado just passed an open-source exemption, but similar bills are moving in CA, IL, and NY.
