You literally can't.
There's a ton of stuff you can't do with the new garbage settings.
Let's not even mention that on an operating system called "Windows" you can only have one "window" of settings open. And opening new settings will just replace where you just where. Which is extremely rage inducing.
Refrigerating bread slows down mold growth...
This increasing the shelf life.
You don't have to refrigerate bread. But you can with clear reason.
That's not how systemic problems work.
This is probably one of the most security ignorant takes on here.
People will ALWAYS fuck up. The world we craft for ourselves must take the "human factor" into account, otherwise we amplify the consequences of what are predictable outcomes. And ignoring predictable outcomes to take some high ground doesn't cary far.
The majority of industries that actually have immediate and potentially fatal consequences do exactly this, and have been for more than a generation now.
Damn near everything you interact with on a regular basis has been designed at some point in time with human psychology in mind. Built on the shoulders of decades of research and study results, that have matured to the point of becoming "standard practices".
I mean you essentially just highlighted a primary user experience problem with Linux....
Information & advice is fragmented, spread around, highly opinionated, poorly digestible, out of date, and often dangerous.
And then the other part of it is that a large part the Linux community will shit on you for not knowing what you don't know because of some weird cultural elitism...
When you finally ask for help once you realize you don't know what you're doing, you're usually met with derisive comments and criticism instead of help.
Do you want Linux to be customizable so that users can control it however they want. Or do you want it to be safe so that users don't mess it up? You can't have it both ways, and when you tell users to "go figure it out" and then :suprise_pikachu: that they found the wrong information because they have literally no idea what's good or bad, instead of helping, they get shit on.
It's the biggest thing holding Linux desktop back.
Nation state cybersecurity threats are a big deal, and heavily targeting Microsoft is definitely part of a larger game plan by Russia.
If Microsoft is struggling, imagine how helpless "smaller" corporations (Even 10/100's of billion $ corps) would be.
I'm interested in how this plays out, and the kinds of postmortems we'll get from this. Will we see any shift in security culture and best practices?
ISO-8601 or bust.
Just like others with a missed , obvious, opportunity.
I had a girl take me to a room, take her clothes off, and then just look at me and and ask "Well?"
I had no fucking clue what she meant or what to do so I just did nothing. She then changed into different clothes and left.
Imagine not using FFmpeg or anything that uses FFmpeg 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Love it when corporations have more power than government entities.
The dystopian future is coming faster than ever
I think that community guidelines/ code or conduct should still exist at a top level, in a digestible form, and not nested within a legal document.
They can still be part of the legal document, but should be made more accessible if said guidelines are cared about.
Otherwise you'll find that it's a set of expectations that no one reads (And likely cannot find even if they where looking for them), when those expectations are critically important to community health.
So, essentially, really poorly written malware? Given the number of assumptions it makes without any sort of robustness around system configuration it's about as good as any first-pass bash script.
It'd be a stretch to call it malware, it's probably an outright fabrication to call it a virus.
The comment two above this links to a tool that literally does live syncing on a line by line level. Unless you're editing the same lines at the same time you're not going to get sync conflicts.
I use it as well and it works wonderfully in real time.
