Company profiting from allowing pedos to groom children enacts steps to prevent pedos from grooming children? Like that’s going to happen.
Whatever solution they come up with, I can guarantee that it “accidentally” has a loophole in it.
“Neither” is also an acceptable answer.
Agreed. The call trace shows it occurred as part of a drm_ function, which is related to the DRM (Direct Rendering Manager) subsystem.
There’s a chance it might not be the root cause, but the more obvious answer is that the Nvidia driver managed to corrupt a kernel data structure.
Please fill in the blanks:
The other reason is that I’m kinda verbose.
Some say, “why many words when few work?”
Others express their freedom to choose exactly to what extent of verbosity and verbiage they consider necessary in order to accurately and effectively communicate their previously-unspoken thoughts either through private correspondence or statements to some subset of the general populace.
Contrary to popular belief, it is possible to write software in assembly that is very readable. It takes thought but assembly has the edge with its miniscule footprint and zero-dependency runtime.

I agree with them when they say distros shouldn’t be theming their apps by default. When the packager breaks a package, it misleadingly gives users the impression that the software is at fault. Unless the distro itself is willing to field all the user complaints and bug reports, it just ends up causing problems for the maintainers.
Where I will never agree with them is in the demand that the developer has exclusive control over the application icon. It’s inconsequential to the software’s functionality, and if anyone thinks their brand should have more rights to a computer than the person who owns it, they can rightfully fuck off with the likes of Apple and Microsoft.
App Icons are the identity of an app. Changing an app’s icon denies the developer the possibility to control their brand.
Here’s an novel solution to that: fuck off! A lot of us use Linux because we’re sick of corporations and rightsholders trying to control how we use our devices while treating us as marketing tools by shoving their “vision” in our face.
Can you recommend me other (non atomic) distros that play nice with both secure boot and nvidia drivers?
I wouldn’t exactly recommend it because of the learning curve, but I have the exact setup you’re looking for working on NixOS.
Lanzaboote made it pretty easy. The downside is that you need to put secure boot into user-managed mode, and some asshole anticheats might not like that even though only Microsoft-signed executables were used in the boot chain of Windows.
For gamers who are newcomes to Linux, Ubuntu (or Debian) should be a hard pass. Linux gaming is advancing too fast for the 2-3 year gap between LTS versions to not matter, and trying to work around the stable (outdated) packages is typically what ends up breaking installs.
For gaming, you can’t go wrong with Bazzite. It’s meant for gaming to mostly just work out of the box, so you likely won’t need to tinker with anything.
It’s that tinkering that introduces stability risks. Adding third-party package repositories and trying to install newer software on top of older LTS distros is what tends to end up breaking them.
And the taxpayer money spent?
… To shreds you say …
Neither did I. Now I just don’t have time for sleep.
Even if the server had zero knowledge of your private keys (which is doubtful), I’m sure the client code won’t have any backdoors. It’s only the social media “platform” owned by the world’s most thin-skinned billionaire.

You can block it with a carefully-crafted userscript that hooks the fetch API and returns fake responses for the svc event, but then Reddit starts flagging your IP address as a bot and demands you log in to an account to prove otherwise. You can’t win.
Curious what kind of real world use makes it a good choice?
It’s declarative. Everything is (usually) configured via Nix itself, without requiring manual steps of running additional commands. This ends up being pretty useful when you have a fleet of devices that you want to configure.
Changing config is atomic. If you end up breaking your system when trying to tweak it, you can boot into the previous generation and try again with different settings.
I wouldn’t count on it. I’m 100% expecting them to follow up on this in another update, blocking devices from wirelessly debugging themselves for “security” reasons.
To prevent future radicalization and violence, the CEOs of Discord, Steam, Twitch, and Reddit must appear before the Oversight Committee and explain what actions they will take to ensure their platforms are not exploited for nefarious purposes
In other words, explain what you’ll be doing to add censorship to your platforms.
They really could not have picked a worse demographic to try that on. Not only do online gamers despise censorship and policing, their vocal minority is known for being extremely toxic and unrelenting. The icing on the cake is that a good number of them are right-wing, too.
Have fun dealing with the shitstorm you’re about to create!
No, no. It makes perfect sense from an investment standpoint. Their actual target audience would love to be able to pay for access to that catalog.
