  • I do not get what you're trying to say here, sorry.

    On the note on similarity I mean macos userland is closer to bsd than linux. Also for normal usage freebsd is much different in nature than usual linux (free)desktop though they share same desktop shells which isn't the case for macos either. And while most people aren't writing with posix api everyday, many (most?) paradigms translate to win32 so that the crt from mingw works well. It matters only if you're working with msvc toolchain, and then you've to adapt to windows-isms.

    Personal anecdote: yes I find macos more familiar than windows even though I use windows vm often and macos rarely. At least the command names are same/similar.. So your point stands, my point is more on the Aktually side.

  • Wait what? The default kernel doesn't have a fuse fs, inbuilt or as kext? Didn't know that. I thought all modern un*ces come with fuse.

    Edit: It seems apple is introducing something called LiveFS similar to (but incompatible) fuse. Couldn't find much docs and I'm not gonna read xnu sources rn.

    underpants of MacOS is very similar to linux

    no it's not. xnu is very different from linux, with even design philosophy far apart. The userland (and bsd interface aka positive syscall world) is similar to *bsd's, not typical linux userland. Only real similarity is launchd because systemd drew inspiration from it.

  • A Gun

    Jump
  • concentrate into the hands of the wealthy, and their militarized forces.

    They already have weapons incomparable to those of civilians and also have resources to produce much more. Try to fight with military of any reasonably strong country with all the millions of guns of US citizens lol. This is such a bogus claim.

  • Unpopular opinion, these are handy for quickly installing in a new vm or container (usually throwaway) where one don't have to think much unless the script breaks. People don't install thing on host or production multiple times, so anything installed there is usually vetted and most of the times from trusted sources like distro repos.

    For normal threat model, it is not much different from downloading compiled binary from somewhere other than well trusted repos. Windows software ecosystem is famously infamous for exactly the same but it sticks around still.

  • Invest in basic tools and have good relations with local repair persons, try to learn from them too as they fix stuffs. Hands on expertise is more helpful than theoretical how to knowledge. Also invest time in designing fail safe insect and paste management and plumbing. Bit of initial work usually pays off later.

  • Yeah I only find this which is bit technical. Anything else seems marketing bs. Seems like they're making something similar to fuchsia by google but with linux abi compatibility.

    Having linux shim alone makes it effectively monolithic like xnu.They even claim this by saying linux shim will hold global state in this otherwise microkernel.
