So take this chance to educate yourself.

As I said, comics is both a genre and a medium.

Due to the format of comics (generally 30 pages, once a month, emphasis on illustration over dialog), there are certain characteristics specific to that genre.

Yes, Superheroes are a genre, but that doesn't mean that comics are not also a genre. Superheroes do not define comics books.

The tropes specific to comic books define comic books, and there are enough that comics has become it's own genre.

It doesn't matter if you want horror, superhero, fantasy, or even a realistic story. They all will have things in common if told in the medium of comics, making them fit in the genre of comics.

I was an exclusive slack user for about 8 years.

At some point they started trying to compete with Ubuntu and the like, and many packages had weird dependencies which to get around you had to install the dependency or recompile. An example would be mplayer now requiring samba.

The community is also far less willing to offer support if you didn't do a full install.

You couldn't be more wrong. Improving an dauditing code is a noble goal, but OpenBSD haven't done enough in that regard. They were vulnerable to heartbleed just as everyone else, were they not?

SELinux isn't the nicest implementation, but the idea is sound. Take away the legacy concept of an all powerful user. Don't have processes automatically inherit permissions, instead assign them only the permissions they need.

There have not been many SELinux exploits and you generally need local access anyway, with the ability to run executable. If SELinux is in place, that actually becomes a hell of a lot harder.

I'd much rather have a system that protects against unknown future attacks than a system which does nothing to protect against attacks and instead tries to remove them all..leaving little to deal with to contain a compromise.
