“Finally I see some gears turning. We’re making progress here people!”

I’m sorry, I don’t think I can see the point you are making. Are you saying that one can get around the 3-5 people by using flatpaks, ro home directories and other mitigations?

A matter of perspective I think. It’s a flaw in my opinion. Just downloading anything from anywhere sets one up for failure/malware.

Code Signing on its own is useless, I think. If there is no distribution structure or user-validated trustchain, of course. But then you don’t really need Code Signing, a simple hash is enough.

My personal preference are the distro repos, to a point where I even dislike additional package managers like pip, npm or cargo.

I do mean downloading random stuff from random websites.

True. Still the most windows-like installation method.

Your wanted option is not gone, you can still download the binaries if the author presents them; or you can compile it from source. This is just another, more convenient way to distribute the program.

If you are looking to get your programs Windows-style, to download a binary or “install wizard”, then you can look into appimages.

Like any form of distribution however: someone has to offer this, be it the author or “some rando”.

You can only compare that if the $100/hr are certain. Having no clients means having $0/hr.

Also to compare the two she has to have an 8hr day. I don’t have many experiences in the field, but that sounds not sustainable.

Well, she’s advertised as a pretty woman, not a smart one.

And now, with a little less jest: It’s a stable income over a week, with a guy she evidently likes to at least look at. No need for advertising in that time. Meals are paid, as is time off. Also, the 21$ assume that she is paid 24 hours a day (3000$ ÷ 24 ÷ 6 = 20,83333…$) so she gets paid for sleeping, eating, essentially her own time. She also gets the opportunity to scout new, well off clients.

I would take that deal.

Korrekt, Kommentar. Da hab ich den Ragebait geschluckt ohne zu kauen.

Wow, der Artikel liest sich wie eine Vorbereitung um Fox News “Infotainment” in Deutschland einzuführen. Ich will der Autorin böse Absichten unterstellen. So ein rein emotionaler Bullshit, bar jeder Fakten.

Aber das kann ich auch.

It’s very versatile. It can be used as a threat, a sudden shock or long term torture. I’m not comfortable going into further detail.

Honestly I would be angry too. But then after I would have completely woken up I would laugh about it. And think of a payback. Maybe even something involving a moist, cold sponge.

Fuck those people. Still not worth getting infected by a rootkit.

Before any of that: Let her try it out on your machine (assuming it can be used for this kind of workload) during business hours. She will run into problems (Software not working, something upstream at her workplace not working, …). If all of those are fixed or she deems them negligible, then you can start thinking of switching her over.

This can take over a year of time, depending on how frequent some work related tasks are.

Dualboot on the new machine can also be good alternative, if you don’t mind spending the money.

A “do or die” approach might lead to a very big fight about her not being important to you, or even respected by you, among other things.

Oh nice. Did somebody learn something from Helldivers 2? Let’s game it out

Have to test it but guides suggest that it’s possible

I didn’t try yet but there are guides.

Oh, I still use Teamspeak! It’s very nice for small groups up to 32 people (after that one has to use the paid tiers). I do not use X though.

Maybe I’ll give Mumble a shot, so I can integrate it with Matrix/Synapse/Element.
