EustassKid··on Spain cancels Pegasus spyware investigation because Israel is not co-operating

Yes I mean what do/did they do to be considered dictators, not trying to argue for the opposite I just don't know.

Genuine question, why are those countries dictators?
EustassKid··on Any sufficiently advanced uninstaller is indistinguishable from malware
I feel like this is some stupid question but aren't exexutables and their libraries loaded to RAM? If yes then why can't it just delete itself (from disk)?
EustassKid··on Chrome: Heap buffer overflow in WebP
Why aren't people using safe C compilers or libraries and stuff like that? Do they affect performance that much? If yes then what about libraries written in C so that they can be used in other languages (meaning performance is not the number one concern)?
EustassKid··on OpenSSL 1.1.1 End of Life
I don't know about other Linux distributions (or operating systems) but a while ago NixOS marked Sublime Text as insecure and wouldn't let me install it without me setting the option to allow insecure packages (since it depends on openssl 1.1.1u), I don't know how dangerous it would be to have software with an out of date TLS library for me, a regular user, but I just switched to emacs, so sad because ST is an excellent editor, a great set of features and plugins while still being extremely fast (which is my problem with VSCode).
