Which _Israeli_ companies were used for Stuxnet or the 2024 pager attack? NSO is not the same as the company from the article since it's explicitly a cyber company.

I haven't used the devtools protocol of Firefox but CDP is one of the worst protocols I had to work with. Everything is "experimental", inconsistencies between different domains, multiple ways to do some stuff and revealing internal stuff.

> systemd is a suite of basic building blocks for a Linux system.

You can always use a simpler init system if you want

This is absolutely not enough against targeted attacks. It will be harder to detect you but once they do, Firefox (which Tor is based on) is a lot more vulnerable than Chrome. Same for Android, the locked bootloader and such can be helpful in this situation.

I think most people focus on bringing back far-right people to the platform, making the application inaccessible to logged out users and the failed attempts at Twitter Premium or whatever it's being called.

My office is half an hour by foot from my house and yet I prefer to work from home exactly for this reason. Maybe in America where the commute can become ridiculous quickly it's a problem but here I just take an e-scooter if I don't want to walk. A better office would certainly make me come to the office more. But to be fair, even the CEO doesn't have his own office currently so I don't expect any of us to get one soon.

I don't think the person was important but the employer might. It seems to be IBM which is not surprising I guess, although I'd hoped that RedHat would influence how they work with open source somehow.

Yes, Plan 9 made some bad choices in retrospect, at least in my opinion. The big dependency on the mouse is one of them but also assuming people will be in managed networks.

When I wrote it, from the options you mentioned, only Ubuntu phone existed and it was after Canonical abandoned it. So in 2019 it really felt like Android was the only option.

Please don't try to delude people by changing the definition of open source. While sadly Open Source Initiative were not able to get the trademark for open source, the de-facto definition of open source is practically the same as free software.

Dragonfly is source available which is a completely different thing.

I'm pretty sure MOTD is only shown on server installations

This is a pretty terrible comparison, suitable for those X-vs-Y websites. While on paper Go and Java have a lot in common, in practice their philosophies differs enough to produce different enough languages.

I've used both Java and Go and I can tell you, there is no right or wrong but they differ a lot in their ecosystem, tooling and in design patterns. I don't see myself going back to Java because of the virtual threads.

Maybe they intentionally want to keep books below 10 dollars?

Maybe they figured that in the end they have a lot more cheap books than a few that might be more than double because of the non-progressive scale.

Meson generates Ninja files. At first, you were supposed to run ninja after Meson yourself but modern Meson support meson compile which calls ninja under the hood
