CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@krzk incredible. If one ever wanted AI review on their patch, I'm sure they would've asked one already? (nice reply btw)

Quickly skimmed through Lunduke's video, I gotta say he's terrible at actually sharing real news.

All he shows is devuan's tweet, *HIS* tweet, and a small part of the summary blog post brought completely out of context (which doesn't even mention systemd). Not very convincing overall. Then he's talking about age verification and doing stupid irrelevant comments all over the place.

Surprise surprise, when I lookup "systemd root vulnerability" on youtube, all I see is that idiot whose name starts with L.

To anyone who thinks there is a systemd root privilege escalation vulnerability discovered recently. Please read the technical details instead of listening to idiots on youtube and reddit.

Because, if you actually read the technical details of this vulnerability, you'll know that it is a *snapd* vulnerability (which involved misconfiguration in systemd-tmpfiles). It is *NOT* a systemd vulnerability, and anyone who's telling you the opposite does not have a single idea what they're talking about.

I am specifically looking at that complete idiot on youtube who keeps bringing up things completely out of context, is a literal nazi, and whose name starts with L.

Please, don't listen to idiots who don't know anything about the subject they're bringing up.

@justsoup Slowly starting to feel the same way for age verification and uspol..

I mean, I do care about these subjects, but at some point it's kind of getting unhealthy.

No one is happy with age verification, in the one hand.

But in the other hand, *please* don't harass maintainers. It only makes things worse.
Don't listen to stupid people who don't know what they're talking about like lunduke.

It really does not help.

@justsoup oh of course

all this makes me a lot more reluctant about switching to systemd on my host really

@cas I like your "hot takes" even if I disagree sometimes, please do continue

@Khrys that's called harassment

@justsoup I never said it did, more that it really is a shame..

apparently from my cursory looking (please don't quote me on that) they mainly only use LLMs for code reviews ........ already bad in itself

I suspect they generate code now too or will do so in the future.

@karolherbst Still runs linux very comfortably ^^

@DrewNaylor @jane bwrap?

@pj @elly Windows 8.1 was already bad in 2013 and caused some users to stay on 7 or quit to linux or macOS. Vista was also pretty bad. 10 went worse. 11 went way, way worse.

@justsoup systemd also did it

@elementary "sideloading" is a dumb term too, for what is literally just running your own software

@karolherbst systemd adding a field for birth date has been very controversial. My take on this though, you can just lie to the field or even force to not set it? But developers with that california law have to either comply or get bitten by law enforcement (and I can tell you, a lot of FOSS projects barely have money to sustain themselves)

@Orca @ncopa it wouldn't really affect us. We have a few armhf device ports but as it turns out all of them with the exception of two, actually target armv7-capable devices, so they should be moved to armv7. The two remaining are the Pi0 and Pi1. (see my post about this somewhere else in this thread)

@socketwench @pabloyoyoista what hardware supported by pmOS would be deprecated by this change?

@ncopa on @postmarketOS side, I looked at the wiki for armhf devices that may be impacted by armhf dropping.

postmarketOS supports 28 armhf devices. Out of all 28 armhf devices, 26 are actually armv7 running an armhf kernel/userspace for legacy reasons, and should be moved to armv7. Out of these, only one runs a mainline kernel.

The remaining 2 are the RPi1 and zero.

@moses_izumi @elly I use exactly that laptop, EliteBook 8560w with its default GPU, the Quadro 2000M. It handles 3440x1440@60Hz .... I'd say, yes, but barely (thanks nvidia...), and you can forget about 4k playback or much gpu-accelerated things due to the gpu being just bad.

But other than that it's pretty fine, with a better gpu it should still withstand .. I'd say, 5-10 years
