You have far too much faith in this crappy thing that MS essentially forced on everybody to implement DRM.

"Every small business is a corporation."

That is a lie. Not every small business is an LLC, let alone a more structured corporation. For instance, the RV shop where I was underpaid and got a settlement against them for unpaid wages and retaliatory firing is a sole proprietorship.

Why do you tell so many obvious lies?

Sure. But when you have systems that handle your keys to the kingdom, you want to find out who successfully attacked them. Without logs that is next to impossible. And you need that info to fix the vulnerability the attackers came in on. Not saying that you should keep any and all logs and I have personally edited logs when I screwed up pretty much like your example, but for systems with very high criticality you need to spend the effort and handle the logs on the same criticality and confidentiality level.

This is nonsense. Cattle displaced bison in the USA, and they produce less methane per pound of meat.

Well, Slackware is the Holy Grail, obviously. I am lazy, so I use Devuan and occasionally have a look at Gentoo.

Indeed. Same with anybody. The NSA, FBI, regular cops, judges, etc. All have examples of corruption and selfish illegal acts. That is why no backdoor will ever be secure.

But why would you say that? Have you reviewed the sources? If not, you're just making things up to believe. Your religious beliefs about Apple are not relevant.

"I like to think the ones I worked with were good"

If you have 1 bad cop and 10 more that let them get away with it, what you've got is 11 bad cops.

Indeed. I mean, even the NSA has had attack code stolen now and that did quite a bit of damage. There are no harmless or "safe" backdoors and not fixing vulnerabilities is always bad for everyone. No idea why this needs to be re-stated time and again.

Naa, police forces are there to keep the rich safe against the unwashed masses. All that "serve & protect" stuff is just the marketing narrative.

What else is new? These people are a threat, nothing else.

Well that's telling... It truly is the gnome windowing system!

It's kind of like saying the text only virtual terminal replaced X address so because many people use it.

Until very recently screen capture didn't work. Window placement still doesn't, and the tooling is still a fragmented mess across the Wayland ecosystem.

You can replace X with Wayland if you don't need to do very much. But it's telling that fanbois describe it as fully featured provided it has the features they personally need. I'd much rather have a replacement system that works on more than the broadest sense.

It's not a fully featured system yet and it is most definitely not going to be the year of the Wayland desktop when the Wayland fans and Devs insist that those users and features don't count.

People are choosing unsustainably and will not do otherwise unless forced.

Sustainability is the most important thing.

Gas vehicle tech has not quite plateaued, but the cost of improvements is quite high and protectionism has kept them viable until now even without making improvements we know how to make. EVs are improving more quickly than they credibly could at this point so there aren't really sufficient returns to make it worth it.

Other countries have safety inspections like we mostly don't in the USA.
