Yes, I realize that.
You do realize that this kind of attack happened after spectre and meltdown? Apple knew of the risks, but decided to ignore them.
I’ll support whoever gives me the best deal!
It’s just business~
This is neat, but for some reason it doesn’t keep me signed in if I try to access a link from my home instance.
I haven’t given them any of my info.
Do you think walgreens and CVS don’t sell your data? Lol.
I don’t think local drug stores can afford to be cheaper than a big corporate chain.
Sure they can! It’s not like their owners are surviving off of beans and rice, lol.
Are they?
I think using goodrx.com has given me the best results to save money on drugs.
Local drug stores should totally be displaying “we’re cheaper than CVS!” if they want people to show up.
That is, if they’re actually cheaper…
Why do people buy anything besides drugs at a CVS?
If you think a website is unsafe, don’t open it.
Ahh yes, back to the dark ages of the internet where just clicking the wrong link can completely compromise your system.
Thanks crapple and its useful idiots.
The main issue with these vulnerabilities is a loss in performance when the microcode patch gets applied.
On a more philosophical note, it’s also a trend to release insecure products to tout performance metrics. Intel did it. Now it’s apple’s turn.
Don’t trust corporations, ever.
The powers that be know the threat free software is to their control.
Richard Stallman was right when he said “free software, free society.”
You’re definitely onto something. This isn’t the first time corporations have targeted FOSS, but because Linux is gaining in popularity we’re starting to see the old FUD and EEE tactics come back into play.
Once we start seeing more normal people using it, primarily women, we’ll also see tons of misinformation that exists to sow the seeds of doubt in their minds.
Probably something like the old “mac vs. PC” commercials but with “windows vs. linux”
I don’t use facebook, but I’m seeing Linux brought up way more among the consumer tech-crowd.
Looks like they all want to fit in with each other by resisting “windows surveillance.”
Personally, I think it’s pretty stupid where they decide to draw the line, almost like they’re not even making the decision for themselves. But I’ll still accept it if it causes more people to drop proprietary software.
“prevailing narrative”
Definitely need to keep this concept in minds in our age of misinformation.
Just because something is said a lot on the internet does not mean it’s an accurate indication of reality.
Don’t concern yourself with hardening.
Just use your computer like you normally would, solving issues as you encounter them.
Don’t let people drag you down rabbit holes.
🤦
Gnome devs shouldn’t have put the onus of adding settings onto addon developers…
Never going to forgive those fools for having something like “gnome tweak tools” be recommended to so many users without them adding an official implementation.
I totally agree.
Joe biden is quite possibly the worst president the US has ever had.
I hope history remembers him as nothing more than what the ruling class decided workers could have instead of Bernie.
Greed wins.
All the proud consumerists on the left have themselves to blame/thank for voting for the lesser-evils.
Thanks for the archive link.
Yes, and Apple decided to do the same thing knowing the risks.
“Intel did it!” is not a panacea for apple; it makes things worse for them.
