  • I dont know how things work in the US but I dont understand how its possible for an ISP to control a device you own?

    if you are using the ISP’s modem, yeah they probably have an interface to control the device remotely and i understand that - but if you using your own modem, with a different firmware, how are they even gonna access it?

    xorg letting a malicious program to record keys is not a security issue, its a weakness

    having that malicious program on the system, thats the security issue

    if you are implementing a display protocol that aims to replace the xorg, the focus should be compatibility not fixing security weaknesses especially if you dont have any better solutions, and wayland does not have a better solution for global keys, compositors are just implenting it on their own hacky way

    security? I don’t think systemd vulnerabilities are that critical, a vulnerability in systemd will provide a way to privesc at most, which means that the attacker must have initial access to exploit it. And considering that most linux servers are using containerized systems, a direct systemd exploit is not possible in most cases

    also, more people using systemd means more devs working on systemd, so more security issues will be found and patched
