Remember. Computer companies think you are massively retarded and cannot think for yourself, therefore you need your OS to act as a nanny.

Microsoft does this.
Apple does this.
This mentality has even infected open source projects, like GNOME or Wayland.

IT people are suffering from an enormous God complex that needs to be eradicated as soon as possible, otherwise we all will end up worse and worse every year.

@icon_of_computational_sin the worst thing microsoft has done to security was turn windows defender into a copyright janny, making cracks for video games show up as false positives

but the end user is still retarded, and if the tools to really fuck something up are out in the open instead of a 30 second google search away, all you'd get is a lot more e-waste from people throwing out "broken" computers
@skylar @icon_of_computational_sin this. The reason linuxtards don’t have to worry about as much malware is because userland Linux doesn’t have enough viable targets.

@sapphire @skylar wrong. Server L'Eunuchs is an absolute haven for malware. 100000 compromised servers won't lie!

@icon_of_computational_sin @skylar some retarded jeet scammer getting social engineered out of the password to his mail spam box isn’t a “compromised server” due to malware.

@sapphire @skylar no, it's usually either simple passwords or misconfigured services that allow code execution being exposed. Redis is popular here.

Also, L'Eunuchs-based SOHO routers are the literal scourge. Half of them have backdoors right out of the box.

@icon_of_computational_sin @sapphire @skylar The routers usually run BusyBox/Linux and well the base would be BusyBox rather than Linux, although Linux does the routing.
