Someone must have nicked my mine and swapped them

I did just read I think 90% of that, and it just seems like that person is sour about systemd in general.

I agree it's not unix/Linux philosophy but it's the best we have.

Does it do too much? Maybe. I haven't seen that exploited on a large scale in the real world, but it's definitely a golden key.

There are options. But it's just one of those things. You're pissing in the wind unless you're willing to write it yourself. You can use non systemd distros or even use bsd.

All that said, you're absolutely right to be concerned, but speaking on it like it's an active vulnerability is dangerous.

It's also evident that it's reliant on the software you run, it's not systemd that's giving you away, it's your application that you chose to install that's abusing or neglegent of systemd's access.

Probably correct. I'm not going to pretend to have the know how, but I would assume that if this was exploited widely, we'd have heard about it.

Would it be a great target? Maybe. Attack it. Show us all the love of contributing in hardening it.

Could be spicier, mom wasn't into me like that unfortunately

To be fair, yeah that shit is egregious.

But that's not at all what I asked you or what you claimed. Those are technically two different things. And not technically like yes or no. Those are entirely different security fronts.

You've got to back that claim up or take it back, and I have a feeling you'll be taking it back.

It's okay to be cautious, and it's especially okay to warn others of trajectories that could lean into privacy or security issues, but it's not okay to make shit up.

Lastly it's no longer an init system. It's a system that happens to handle init.

Okay but correlate that with the same methods and usage and by the same threat actor (MS) in this case.

Or any of the combination, as a treat

I'm not saying it's impossible, but it's extremely implausible.

I used to fuck with my mom every time she answered the landline, she'd get all high pitch and neutral and business like.

Now that I know better, I was just one more fucker lol

Have you ever heard of next quarter?

[–] Whostosay@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 weeks ago

I couldn't give a shit less about apple but man I'm I hoping this comes to fruition.

I'd like to buy hardware again.

I'm not excited to admit that while sitting around people I hadn't seen in a year, several people referred to chatgpt on how to divide poker chips. Not once but many times. Not only did it take fucking forever, but they didn't remember so they did it again and again.

Also, the chips had arbitrary value. It was a tourny so the values never meant anything.

This was not an issue last year.

Also, in extremely related news, I won some money tonight.

It's only a crime if you fuck with old money.
