So what? We’re going to keep getting it, same as with other viruses. Imagine people making this kind of post every time they sneezed.

And before someone calls me an anti-vaxxer, I’m not. We got the vaccine, now let’s get over it and stop obsessing

You could try out this crazy new thing called reading the article

False, just go to old.reddit.com.

“available”

Cool, where’s the code?

I think you were going for some gotcha, but you’re just embarrassing yourself

While taking memes seriously is clearly a sign of maturity

Such horrible people, fighting back against senseless DRM

Exactly this. The goal of requiring explicit cookie consent/refusal is admirable, but the implementation of cookie banners is both useless and terrible. We already have a way to communicate to websites whether we’re alright with cookies or not, they’re called HTTP headers.

Huh, I thought only pedos and terrorists needed encryption? /s

The rest of the world

Ah yes, the US, Canada, and the ocean

I mean, it’s literally freezing.

Imagine a Prusa where […] saved payment details which ensure that a fresh spool of Prusa filament arrives at your front door when it auto-detects that your printer is almost out.

Yeah, no, fuck off.

You can in /dev at least, I sometimes rename/move /dev/ttyUSB1 to /dev/ttyUSB0 for my 3D printer

We were hoping for a new Tesla and instead got yet another Edison.

Kali, I actually think that’s the old Backtrack logo

Idk, mine can. https://docs.qmk.fm/#/feature_unicode

Correct, users that are not explicitly configured as sudoers are limited both in files they can access and commands they can run.

Yeah, Linux was built as a multi-user system, so user and group permissions have always been a core aspect of it. The “password locked admin account” is just the root user, although you should maybe leave that as a “failsafe” account and create a separate user with sudoer permissions. Every file and folder in Linux has an owner and read/write/execute permissions for the owner, members of its group, and others. By default, users are limited to their own home folder (/home/username, where folders like Documents are stored) and a handful of world-writable locations (like /tmp) If you need more specific permissions, ACLs are also available. Or SELinux.

The biggest difference regarding distribution choice is that some distros ship with SELinux enabled, while most don’t. For everything else there’s not much difference, so maybe start with Debian for its community support/resources?
