Systemd-init, the core part of systemd, offersa wide range of features surpassing other init systems. More features lead to more bugs and security vulnerabilities.

This is a bad take. Many of systemd's features improve security significantly. And having all that code in one cohesive place can't possibly be inherently less secure than the cornucopia of init scripts we used to use.

In an interview during the 90's, William Shatner told of a story of him being recognized in mid-perfomance by a sword dancer in a small Iranian village. The man stopped dead in his tracks and looked straight at him uttering with utter amazement; "Captain Kirk?!?" That should give us perspective as to how deep and far Star Trek reached people for the last 51 years.

And then when I asked advice from people in Hollywood—I knew a handful of people, not many in those days—and I said to them, "Look, I've been offered this, what should I do? I've got plays lined up in London, I'm finally beginning to get a reputation in the West End playing leading roles." And they told me now, this is a six-year contract, don't worry about it. You cannot revive an iconic show like Star Trek, it cannot happen, you will be lucky to make it halfway through the season before it's canceled.

Nobody really uses Kubernetes for day-to-day work, and it shows.

Wat.

That isn't the purpose of the new API. Apps can already prevent screenshots by using FLAG_SECURE.

The purpose is to move away from the resource- and privacy-invasive ways that apps implement screenshot detection today, such as through monitoring the directory in which screenshots are saved. The new functionality will require a permission and will no longer require the apps to have access to the screenshots themselves.

So you know those buttons at the top of Google search results?

Images, News, Videos, etc?

You'll never guess what new button they're testing out now.
