Is saying the role open source plays in Linux security is minor compared to the role other aspects play, not that the attacks are minor.
I like how you just ignored the comment you replied to which acknowledged linux makes up most servers and instead just argued against a guy you made up.
Oh yeah, definitely but those tend to be different attacks than would target random consumer computers.
Being open source definitely plays a role in Linux security, but it’s minor compared to stuff like market share, user privilege, package management vs just installing random exes, different distros using different packaging systems.
Not really, windows is most targeted because it’s most used. If Linux had comparable market share it would be attacked way more.
There’s the Intel management engine and the amd platform security processor. Both manage low level tasks like booting, and have access to network data. Amds psp is known to have unrestricted access to user memory.
There have been security vulnerabilities that would grant access to sensitive data exploiting both systems if not patched.
As for a backdoor, there’s no evidence but I wouldn’t be surprised. The NSA has programs to insert backdoors into consumer products and these seem like the perfect place to do it. But again, there’s no evidence either chip is part of these programs.
I mean I’d much prefer they didn’t fly a plane that was repeatedly saying there’s a serious issue with it.
Yeah, and understanding the context of a massive codebase will give it a ton of challenges

No, it’s not, maybe actually listen to what people you disagree with are saying.
Volvo Cars (VOLCARb.ST) said on Tuesday that it will end production of any remaining diesel models by early 2024 as it heads towards becoming an all-electric carmaker.
“In a few months from now, the last diesel-powered Volvo car will have been built, making Volvo Cars one of the first legacy car makers to take this step,” the Swedish company said in a statement.
Majority owned by China’s Geely (0175.HK), Volvo has committed to going fully electric by 2030.
While a majority of the cars Volvo sold in Europe were diesel as recently as 2019, in 2022 they made up just 8.9% of the Swedish carmaker’s sales.
In August 33% of Volvo’s sales were fully-electric or hybrid models. The company did not break out how many of the remaining 67% combustion-engine models were diesel and how many ran on petrol.
Sales of diesel models have declined rapidly in Europe since Volkswagen’s (VOWG_p.DE) emission-cheating scandal and carmakers have been gradually reducing the number of diesel models available in their model lineups. Advertisement · Scroll to continue
Diesel vehicles comprised more than 50% of Europe’s new car sales in 2015, but accounted for just over 14% of sales in July.
I wonder if playing around with filtering like top/local (on different instances)/subscribed would make this better. There’s always the block community option, but that doesn’t seem to work well to hide topics and would be a pain to keep on top of.
Yeah, how do you go from a genuinely great investigative reporter to a conspiracy nut
The main gain would be losing any tracking youtube does on how you interact with their app. They could only track based off what videos your ip address watches.
