Newer kernels are available, they even have a gui for it. Why would a Cinnamon user care about KDE or GNOME updates? (Some of which are broken on Fedora, like rdp login)
Mint Debian can run 6.7 right now.

For stuff that is still maintained but also legacy, military and contracting benefit from being a pretty insular community. Contractors are full of military retirees. What this does is give a pool of people who worked with the products for a very long time on one side who move over into maintaining them on the other, less knowledge is lost. It still happens and things must change eventually, but they manage to delay things where someone else like a bank might have a harder time when their knowledgeable employee leaves and they’re hiring people off the street.
Red Hat has long benefitted from being the primary enterprise Linux company based in the US (no, we don’t count Oracle). SUSE created US-based Rancher Government Solutions to get some of that business and it seems to have been getting a lot of interest, despite being early days. They did a good job of focusing on modern technologies and immutable systems.
That’s also empty weight on the Learjet, gross weight is higher. This one is presumably that weight with the batteries so I suspect is smaller. Wish there were more details.
Really great article, and thanks for posting the text of it.
Facebook is weird for me because it triggers my FOMO, but then if I use it all I see are a ton of random things with the most toxic people in the world living in the comments.
And similarly I just realized why my friends on instagram use stories and not posts, because for the most part stories is the only place I see content from people I know anymore (and again the FOMO).
I really relate to the sentence at the end, “there are people there but they don’t know why and most of what they are seeing is scammy or weird.”
That is a clickable menu that explains exactly what the permissions are.
Firefox on flathub is an official one, that’s not what this warning is.
Clicking the potentially unsafe item lists the exact permissions.
It can access hardware devices, like your webcam or game controller. Likely --device=all in flatpak speak but I haven’t looked.
Neither has its own extension repository, so maintaining support enables side loading but isn’t all that useful for normal people or those who want their extensions to be up to date.
Brave shields work better than the built-in protection in Vivaldi, so it’s less of an issue there but still frustrating.
Yes, and they don’t develop Firefox (legally can’t) since they made a for-profit entity for that purpose.
The Mozilla Corporation does not accept donations.
Poorly written article with little substance but a zinger of a headline. Think they’re trying to take advantage of announcements of Intel and TPM security flaws in the past to get more clicks.
This is a UEFI firmware issue that can be patched by BIOS vendors. It is an issue at a very low level, but not an issue with Intel or the TPM.
The exploit is in the UEFI firmware code for handling the TPM and used for privilege escalation in that firmware, “TPM won’t save you” doesn’t really make sense because no shit. The vulnerability doesn’t mean the TPM unseals its contents though, and I’m curious if the exploit modifies the PCR values enough that OS security could trigger (Bitlocker recovery and whatever). Wouldn’t help if the malicious software was already there though.
Yes. In low orbit like the space station they mostly deal with atmospheric drag, even just gas molecules cause it. The ISS is has a “reboost” on a regular basis, often from arriving spacecraft but it can use onboard thrusters.
At much higher orbits the gravity of the sun, moon, differences in earths gravity, and even the tiny force of photons from the sun striking the spacecraft (solar radiation pressure) contribute orbital decay. The Vanguard I satellite was the fourth satellite in space and was expected to stay up for 2000 years, but thanks to solar radiation pressure and some atmospheric drag it’s more like 240.
“Breaking userspace” is often considered a bug even if the code doing so is working as intended. Deleting user data because they bundle a config file deep in the directory tree for a completely different use case was not intended behavior even if one of them is defensive about the logic.
Firefox just pulled the browser out of it to focus on one thing, Thunderbird did the same with communications. Seamonkey still does it all.
Assuming manifest v3, it shouldn’t break. However, some extensions will stop working. Vivaldi doesn’t have its own extension repository so they will be phased out there just like in Chrome.
He’s trying to be a little Poettering.
I always think it’s crazy when employees of companies with paying customers act like such jackasses in public.
I think it was probably dropped to be more like other Linux distributions. The BSDs put a ton of stuff in rc.conf.
I thought surely some distribution had messed up by using this temporary files generator for /home, but that configuration is actually a file bundled with systemd and the purge would take effect even if the distribution was creating /home as part of the install (ignoring the tmpfiles config), which they pretty much all do. So yeah, any defense I had towards the dev is gone there.

Firefox also has a resist fingerprinting setting, but it can break many things.
If it is really a concern, I have heard the mullvad browser essentially the tor browser without tor.
