Now imagine how many services just silently cut off your password at 8 characters and people never notice.

UltraVNC is very guilty of this.

I thought Rust already had several different methods for interacting with C++? I’m not sure what actual roadblocks there are to developing KDE apps with it?

So blown out of proportion. Nobody is saying to stop using them. The report is more of a state of the union on software in secure systems and the talking points hinge on the most common type of vulnerability seen in large scale attacks: memory safety.

The report (which apparently barely anyone is reading) mentions C/C++ aren’t memory safe (truth) and with specific respect to space flight, alternatives such as Rust haven’t been proven yet. Both languages meet other important criteria (again specific to space flight) but it then immediately states afterwards that until other languages can be qualified, other means of ensuring memory safety are recommended such as hardware. The report makes other mentions. It’s a good read but is not a directive like media is making it.

We know… but people do not all use the same definition of that word.

What do you mean by “isn’t an issue”? You still need a dedicated GPU for the VM.

There are indeed many applications and games that still don’t run under wine for all different kinds of reasons. And the windows-on-linux virtualized GPU solutions for VMs are still not mature enough to work for many apps, so unfortunately for those people, their only choice is a physical GPU passthrough VM.

Why do you think that?

LOL so it’s completely made up then, as I thought.

nope

Do you have a source for that claim? And what state-controlled VPN services?

Source?

Most confidently wrong statement I have read all year.

nope I had it bookmarked

The burden of proof lies upon the person making empirically unfalsifiable claims.

depends on your definition of good, and free
