Not exactly - it was in the source tarbal available for download from the releases page but not the git source tree.

I don’t have a source but I think it is safe to say given the large corporations and government institutions that rely on XZ utils. I’m sure Microsoft, Amazon, redhat ect are in talks with the federal government about this

I had this issue and it went away on newer 6.7 releases

No, init systems sucked before. It was a bunch of poorly documented and poorly managed shell scripts

You can’t really use it with redhat. You can swap the kernel and install the user space tools, but then you won’t get support from redhat.

“profiting off their work” this is the equivalent to banning wine.

Ironically a lot of US states have banned reusable vapes but allow disposable ones making the problem worse

Yes but unless they ban cigarettes first, banning vapes will likely just have a negative effect

On the books, that is the case in the US too but it is almost never enforced

Contactor staffing companies exist solely to get around employment regulations. Demonic industry

Use gamemode

No, the problem is that they filter prompts and inject new parameters into prompts specifically to avoid creating white subjects. It’s so bad that, when asked to generate a chessboard, Gemini would only make one with black pieces.

Because all changes are transactional so you can easily revert to a previous system state if you break anything

Atomic desktops make all of that way easier though

The admin politics is exactly what turned me off to mastodon. It’s like the worst people are in charge of everything

I think that’s a Samsung feature

At this point the only thing that could save Firefox is a rewrite

A noob shouldn’t have to think about any of this. They would install from gnome software or discover and not know the difference between flatpaks or rpms or debs.

Only appimages follow that model and the problem being solved is real and has nothing to do with any of that. The problem being solved is the huge amount of wasted work that distributions do by having to package and support every single project in existence for their various targets. Giving developers a single target like the freedesktop.org runtimes (in the case of flatpaks) and having them package and support applications is a much simpler and more efficient model.

At this point, Linux game compatibility is much better than 60%. More like 99%
