A reminder: Google added support for and then subsequently dropped JPEGXL support in Chrome. Fuck Google.

The problem is that they’re trying to frame it as a better replacement for sudo when it’s really not.

In some respects, it’s safer by not using a setuid binary. In other respects, it massively increases the surface area by relying on the correctness of three separate daemons: systemd, dbus, and polkitd. If any one of those components are misconfigured, you risk an unauthorized user gaining root privileges.

With sudo, the main concern is the sudo process being exploited through memory safety bugs since it runs at root automatically.

Don’t get me wrong, sudo has a lot of stupid decisions and problems. There’s a ton of code in sudo for features that almost nobody uses, and there’s bound to be bugs in there somewhere. It needs to be replaced with something simpler, but run0 is not that.

A better implementation than run0.

If you’re willing to admit that you’re denigrating an operating system for having the same flaws as the one you prefer and are being a massive hypocrite in doing so, sure.

You’re thinking of operating systems that give unrestricted access to all parts of a computer that aren’t memory or the camera. That would everything¹, actually.

¹ There’s also Linux with properly-configured SELinux, but good luck with that on a distro that isn’t focused on opsec.

Name a real-world implementation of communism that either isn’t Marxist–Lenninist, or one that is and has moved beyond the “dictatorship of the proletariat” stage. I’ll be waiting.

From a theoretical point, they don’t count as communist. They entirely dropped the all-important aspect of giving power to the working class.

Both the USSR and China, in their self-described “communist” periods, were ruled with absolute power and directed by a head of state. The USSR collapsed, and modern China is about as communist as North Korea is democratic.

Communism would work if it weren’t for people trying to co-opt it for power

As long as there exists a way to gain power over others, someone will do it. That’s just the reality of our nature, unfortunately.

Apparently, I did not. Or I might have replied to the wrong comment. Either way, my apologies.

Or, teach them both LibreOffice and Office 365. They’ll have more technical literacy by learning to adapt to new situations rather than relying on clicking this button here and that button there.

There’s OpenOffice and LibreOffice. There’s even Google Docs or Office 365, which run in a web browser.

Microsoft Office for Windows is about as useful as manufacturer-installed bloatware these days.

Good luck teaching middle schoolers how to use a pivot table when there’s barely enough time to teach the basics of Excel’s convoluted user interface.

Obligatory fuck Nintendo, but don’t make too much light out of this lawsuit. They’re aren’t attacking the legality of emulation itself (which has a ton of precedent defending it) but are instead trying to convince a judge that Yuzu is a DRM circumvention tool.

If they land a technologically-inept judge that believes decryption itself constitutes circumvention regardless of how it’s used in the bigger picture, there’s a decent chance the argument might have some teeth. Or, because there’s no precedent for this, the lawsuit will drag on until Yuzu runs out of money and is forced to settle.

If it’s within your financial means, please donate to Yuzu. If they lose this lawsuit, the precedent it sets will open up other emulators that work with encrypted ROMs (e.g. Dolphin and Ryujinx) to similar lawsuits.
