  Thanks for sharing this, it’s an intersting look at the inner workings of kernel development security-trust model.

  I’ve seen a lot of stuff being about Linus in the kernel-related stuff, so I have one question: are they really as central as they seem - and we’re all gonna weep blood when they’re not here any more for any reason - or are they a figurehead (due to being the creator and still being very involved) in a sea of equally involved developpers/maintainers/contributors - and should something happen to them, the kernel would continue going in the same direction?

  My anarchist ass obviously hopes for the second option 🤞

  Other options on mobile:

  • using a firefow-based browser (like Fennec on F-droid) on which you can install Ublock Origin
  • also on the F-droid store, newpipe handles youtube shit gracefully

  For anyone not in the know, F-droid is an alternative app store for android where all applications are opensource, verified and don’t track you.
  You can download it from their website (be warned: android is likely to ask you a half a dozen times if you’re sure you want to download, install and give it permissions), install it and explore a great new world :)

  I started and finished Stray today. It’s a bit short (5.5 hours) and imo not really replayable, but I had a really nice time with it. I found it akin to Outer Wilds in the sense that you get to discover the lore as you progress in the world. I recommend picking it up if you get it on sale (the full price is a bit much for the duration).

  In a capitalistic world where your right to stay alive is determined by the money you make, replacing himan jobs by machine ones is a real problem.

  If what was happening was “ok so the machines are gonna do that so you’re gonna have a lot more free time but you still get your wages”, I for one would be happy.

  But what’s happening is more along the lines of “well I hope you didn’t just get a mortgage because here’s the door hahaha don’t be sad think lf the extra money the shareholders are going to make” and it’s a real problem.

  Just because it’s logical that shitty bosses take shitty decisions which impact negatively other person’s lives doesn’t mean we can’t be upset and vocal about it.
