The wonderful world of Linux package managers
  • Shame they didn't mention that homebrew is a security nightmare and will happily download maliciously modified code

    That's so true, I was missing this part! With homebrew you're at the mercy of whoever put the package out there, much like with installers (and nix to be fair)

    Edit: omg then the author claims flatpak is better for security?!? It has the same nightmare security issues.

    LMAO no‽ Flatpaks can be verified, and you can choose not to install unverified flatpaks (which you should!) They are also containerised pretty well by default, in case they're malicious!

  • I'm just happy my boi nix got a shoutout.

    I love having a packages file and a lock file, both user-specific rather than system-wide, offering reproducibility, stability and a good, central place where I can see what I did to debug.

  • We need more opensource hardware
  • Authy just provides 2FA ,no?

    How about migrating to Aegis? It's FOSS, allows encrypted storage, allows backing up and restoring so you never have to lose access to accounts, either (talking about Google Authenticator here)

  • The guy in the store told me that there were no speaker brands that did not require an account these days

    Just buy a simple Bluetooth speaker.

    Don't look for a smart speaker. Don't look for a big brand. Just type “Bluetooth speaker” into the search engine of your favourite webshop or whatnot.

  • If anything, I think it's people used to Windows or macOS that don't want anything to change that tend to hate Linux systems; it's not exactly Windows/macOS (and doesn't run exactly the MS Office and Adobe suits) so they hate it.
