THE MARTYR OF BUTLERIAN JIHAD

Hot tip:
If you run `busctl --monitor user` in L'Eunuchs, you can watch every password that any application requests from your system keyring in plain text.

Security? What security?

Yeah, plain text passwords. Just as we expected.

Should an application trust that the keyring and its access are secure? Perhaps. Should the implementation just forward secrets over a bus without any access restrictions? FUCK NO!

Here I would like to remind you again that freedesktop.org people are a bunch of backwards shit-for-brain cockfaced retards and nothing - I repeat, NOTHING - that they have ever made is good for anything. The whole organisation is a circus full of clowns.

Fuck!
I hate L'Eunuchs and everything it stands for. The most backwards OS developed by a bunch of hacks and circlejerking shitfaced monkeys without any sense of beauty or proper design and forced into existence by the sheer power of drooling autism.

@icon_of_computational_sin

i dont know anything about security but if it means what i think it means, wth i thought linux has some basic security

edit: actually thats just plain stupid

@cho l'eunuchs kinda does. DBus and freedesktop shit does not. L'Eunuchs can grant or deny access to various resources based on your user and what not. The problem is, once you get access to dbus bus, all bets are off and you're a god. And since more and more programs use dbus for ipc, l'eunuchs security is compromised.

@cho nuke Red Hat. Seriously, I mean it. Treat every Red Hat employee with repugnance and revulsion. Tell every single one of them to either quit and commit suicide. Red Hat is the primary corposhit behind FDo and is the driving force behind L'Eunuchs enshittification (have you even see GNOME?) and hence must suffer the consequences.

Other than that, I'd start looking for an OS with another desktop stack. No, BSDs won't do since they run effectively the very same user space code.

@icon_of_computational_sin im using (a custom built) fedora atm, if thats still bad what os would you recommend

@cho at this point in time, I recommend herding mountain goats in Nepal.

MacOS doesn't seem to have this problem (it has others tho). I'm currently seriously entertaining the idea of using heavily customised builds of Windows with most MS shitware removed and good things installed instead. At least Windows has the proper notion of security, unlike some OS we know.

@icon_of_computational_sin@mstdn.starnix.network @cho@fedi.layer02.net I really want to hack on Mezzano after exams, people aren't giving enough credit to it

then say it faggotron
i love redhat, i use fedora on my laptop, fedora on my vps for this instance
only thing i got annoyed at was selinux, but then i fixed shit with it and all is fine now

@mischievoustomato I'm still convinced that you're a troll and not a raging bottom, because even with a prolapsed butthole GNOME cannot be possibly useful for anything.

not a troll nor a bottom, i have used gnome since 2020, in the beginning with extensions but for over a year now i use it vanilla, and i do:
- programming
- gaming
- music production
- basic video editing
- basic image editing
- usual computer stuff (browsing the web, using chat apps, etc)
i havent even had to use x11 in like... years either
