I wouldn't trust an LLM to give me legal advice. A regular algorithm that flags key phrases/words (designed by a legal expert) would be more trustworthy

But can we, as a society, please get past this disgusting idea that a picture is really anything more than it appears?

Congrats: you won the creepy comment of the day award! This is bordering "age is just a number" logic.

This isn't about spontaneous ejaculation upon seeing exposed legs; they could've been covered three layers of clothing and it's still fucked up. Meta is using pictures of under-aged girls to entice a 37 year old man to join Threads. What kind of adult man would join an app after seeing those pictures? Who exactly is Meta targeting with these ads? I challenge you to come up with an answer to that question that isn't "pedos".

In a sane world, Meta and all the employees involved in this campaign would be investigated for human trafficking/csam/pedophilia/etc. If I was an employee I'd even go as far as to report any coworkers with kids who were involved in this to CPS. Children are trafficked all the time on sites Meta's services, so this is a very serious and real danger to society.

Of course, that shit isn't going to happen. Instead, it's up to the sane people left in society to shame them for this disgusting behavior.

That, an "javascript" was a terrible name to begin with.

Why is there a picture of some random woman in your comment? Am I lacking in culture?

KDE recently released their own immutable distro based on Arch. It's still early though, so maybe use Bazzite or Kinoite in the meantime.

OpenSUSE MicroOS is another immutable like Fedora Atomic, and you can use it as a desktop.

Two things can be right at the same time:

• this particular security concern is bogus
• the ICE Block dev is full of shit

Idk anything about the author, but besides the apache version thing, he did bring up some very valid criticisms. The previous article they wrote is worth a read, or at the very least, it's worth watching the snippets of that HOPE interview. It's obvious the developer is a hardcore bullshitter, which is the most charitable interpretation giving him the benefit of the doubt (without speculation about malicious intent)

Whoa, take a deep breath, relax a bit. Modern life can get us constantly on our nerves, I understand it, but let’s not take it out on each other.

Any comment can appear hostile if you that's what you're looking for. I didn't think my comment was hostile, but intent isn't always obvious on the internet (and up/downvote systems tend to quickly distort it). In any case, if you're trying to keep a discussion civil, making condescending assumptions about someone's mental state is the wrong approach.

I didn’t comment like complaining in a demanding way, like thinking that mozilla devs would have to maintain it for me. I just commented to express myself and show that there are real people still using 32-bit software around the world

That's fine, and I never accused you of doing so.

I assume you saw my other comment already in this thread, which explains my position. I'll take this to mean that we're in agreement, so this exchange can have a happy ending 💖

It depends. Spend enough time on bug trackers and forums for open source software, and you're bound to encounter hostile assholes shitting on devs when they make decisions to drop support for ancient hardware like the OP. It's particularly egregious IMO because they usually are willing and happy to use an ancient build of some proprietary software without complaining, but feel entitled to demand more from open source maintainers for some reason.

If you're doing it for your own fun, not making demands of devs/maintainers, and accepting that you're not going to get support for a lot of software, then it's all good.

switch today!

If ever there was a justified case for sending a machine to the landfill, this one seems like a good candidate.

Why would you even want to use such a terrible machine? Is it nostalgia, ideals, masochism, a weird fetish, or something else? It definitely isn't money, as you can find something much better by going dumpster diving.

Seems like he has an attitude/maturity problem, as he took the criticisms very personally. This isn't the type of person you'd ever want to work with, and certainly not the type of person you should trust with your data.

I'm not trying to pick a fight or anything, just doing my part to prevent the spread of disinformation and ignorance on the internet. The second paragraph in your comment shows you don't understand these technologies at all, and I feel compelled to point it out for the benefit of people reading it, so they don't come away misinformed.

There are no abstractions here. Containers use kernel features called "namespaces" and "cgroups" to isolate system resources and implement sand boxing. There's no abstraction layer in the software engineering sense. You might be confused because containers look like virtual machines (which is by design), but they're not that at all, they're regular native system processes that just aren't allowed to see each other. There's nothing about this that is precluded by "cobbled together e-waste", except maybe if you can't install a modern-ish Linux kernel for some reason.

For some perspective, the exact same containerization technology is deployed in production on millions of Linux servers around the world every day. Every wasted second in those environment costs money, and they wouldn't be used if they were "wasteful" or inefficient.

There's a lot of misinfo online about Flatpaks and their disk usage. Yes, they include all their dependencies, but so do a lot of other devs who ship software on Linux (and some don't even bother to statically link them) outside of a system package manager. The name for that is "vendored" libraries. Flatpaks however implement deduplication.

For anyone on the fence who is reading this, some important perspective to have is that, like many old communities, Linux has people who are stubborn/resistant to change. Sometimes that's a good polocy, sometimes it's not. In this case, it certainly is not. Look at the growing success of immutable distros (like Steam OS) for proof of that. Android and iOS have successfully deployed a similar model since day one. Linux can't offer a stable API like win32 for various reasons, but it can do Flatpaks, which comes with the added benefit of secure sandboxing (which win32 lacks). It makes life easier for users, and makes it easier for devs to port their software to Linux.

It is the future.
