alsadi··on Malware Found in the Ubuntu Snap Store

alsadi··on Malware Found in the Ubuntu Snap Store
Snap is a proprietary format that is canonical-centric, don't tell me that the community make choice to make client opensource but official store both hardcoded (initially) and closed source.

On the other hand,flatpak is a freedesktop project, done using open standards like OCI and ostree.

By reaching them via official website/email. You are aware that most software have official website, have readme with some copyright note, some authors file...etc

Yes, it's a policy Quote

If there’s an app that you'd like to be distributed on Flathub, the best first course of action is to approach the app’s developers and ask them to submit it.

Unlike flahub where either original develop or flathub admins take control

Canonical's Snapcraft literally says "Get published in minutes"

Any random guy would publish his malware with near no review

https://dashboard.snapcraft.io/snaps/

Yes, they maybe win the counter for published apps compared to flathub. Congratulations!

alsadi··on What Made Lisp Different (2002)
So if we go back in 1977 we should pick lisp instead of fortran because they invited if statement first.

alsadi··on Meltdown, aka “Dear Intel, you suck”
from what I understand AMD and ARM are also affected by the toy POC, quote

Out-of-order execution is an indispensable performance feature and present in a wide range of modern processors.

quote

However, for both ARM and AMD, the toy example as described in Section 3 works reliably, indicating that out-of-order execution generally occurs and instructions past illegal memory accesses are also performed

end of quote

it just need more work to make it work their

alsadi··on PostgreSQL Benchmark on FreeBSD, CentOS, Ubuntu Debian and OpenSUSE
The fs of choice for a database workload in centos 7 should be xfs because it's one of the defaults (specially in public clouds) and because it can be grown online. I suggest you add it.

alsadi··on Duck Duck Go: Illusion of Privacy (2013)
To be fair here is ceo response quote

Hi, this is Gabriel Weinberg, CEO and founder of DuckDuckGo. I do not believe we can be compelled to store or siphon off user data to the NSA or anyone else. All the existing US laws are about turning over existing business records and not about compelling you change your business practices. In our case such an order would further force us to lie to consumers, which would put us in trouble with the FTC and irreparably hurt our business.

We have not received any request like this, and do not expect to. We have spoken with many lawyers particularly skilled and experienced in this part of US and international law. If we were to receive such a request we believe as do these others it would be highly unconstitutional on many independent grounds, and there is plenty of legal precedent there. With CALEA in particular, search engines are exempt.

There are many additional legal and technical inaccuracies in this article and I will not address all of them in this comment. All our front-end servers are hosted on Amazon not Verizon, for example.

alsadi··on For software that is cross platform and accessible, forget about Qt
But you paid jaws, and got qt for free as a favor and you are blaiming qt. You are a customer of jaws ask them to contribute to qt.

Regarding marketing qt or gnome as accessible it means in a specific setup with a specific set of working readers in the opensource/freesoftware eco-system

Not accessible to all possible setups. Specially proprietary readers?

You have paid nvidia for your gpu card, don't ask me volunteer to fix their properietary driver compatability with your opensource game.
