It took a couple months, but I was finally able to adapt my workflow to more-or-less work with the “GNOME Way”

This is most certainly not the way software should work.

Basically, having read to the end of the article, although it doesn't say it explicitly and I thought the article was about Gnome from the summary, it can be summed up in one of Linus's short phrases: "Use KDE".

Sounds like the guy was just frustrated and venting. Lots of us do that sometimes, and this one seems ready made to please the slashdot crowd. But do read the retraction the guy posted.

No, it wasn't venting and no it wasn't there to please the Slashdot crowd. People are at their most truthful when they go off-the-cuff, and this was most definitely off-the-cuff. The hasty attempt at a half-retraction tells you that. He's bang on regarding systemd, however.

Nevertheless, Aaron is pretty critical of Ubuntu Phone, and frankly, he has a point. Ubuntu is not using the common codebase they try and claim and their use of Qt and QML in their phone is pretty amusing. They've wasted large sums of time and money over the years going down many different software avenues over the years, Gnome being one (and worse, doing a great deal to hurt others in the process), only to decide years later that they really needed to create Unity and then they decide that the mast they have nailed their development colours to is not good enough for phone and mobile development.

It's the kind of thing that doesn't make me interested in any form of desktop or GUI open source development and hasn't for years. It's the same old bullshit. Pardon my French but Ubuntu either needs to either produce something worthwhile and useful that will move open source desktop and GUI usage forwards dramatically or they need to run out of Shuttleworth's cash and fuck off.

It was, well, parts of the plot, the script, and that weasely little fellow who wore black leather was swinging in the trees with the monkeys.

Errr, yer. Basically anything that George Lucas came up with. I have a feeling that Speilberg was somewhat less than happy with the outcome with Lucas and there will be absolutely no other Indiana Jones films. Ever.

UEFI has nothing to do with Microsoft, even Secure Boot isn't a Microsoft thing and this story doesn't have anything to do with Secure Boot anyway...nice attempt to drag this topic into another M$ Windoze bash-fest though.

Yer, that's why the first key in any EFI system is not Microsoft's and other OS builders are not having to go to Microsoft to get their keys signed. Oh wait........

No - the above poster wrote "don't use passwords". Taken at face value that sounds like recommending not to encrypt your private key with a password - because that would mean "using a password" - thus bad advice.

No, it doesn't. Everyone with half a brain regarding SSH should know what 'not using passwords' with SSH means - and it doesn't mean *not* using a pass 'phrase' for your SSH key. He never said that. I'm afraid your splitting hairs here to have something to say.

No - that is called reading between the lines, adding something that is not there and making an assumption that somebody that doesn't know better will not make - thus it doesn't change that the post above is bad advice.

No. You have totally misunderstood the post, and please don't tie yourself in knots like that. It was very clear what he wrote and you were the one who added in 'I think a password is a very good idea if combined with a key'. It's also not called a 'password' but a 'passphrase'. It is not his fault that you or others don't know what he's talking about.

This makes no sense. Once somebody has root and can write to those binaries you are already fucked and they can change access to anything they like, and then write over it to their hearts content.

Quite right. Binaries are already write protected from users but if you're root you can do anything.

Old mail has arrived.

Working...
