        I’m not sure if you’re being serious here or not, but I too have a tux tattoo. I knew at the time that it wasn’t a unique idea, but I’ve never met anyone else who has one. There must be dozens of us.

        The security nightmare is reduced by a lot, thanks to Linux being a lot more safe system. Of course the occasional very old security issues get found, but those are only old if some swifty hacker found out and didn’t disclose it publicly, or had to wait for years to be solved.

        I tried it to do some research recalls, like set it up for doing very specific things and I found it filled my hard drive pretty fast with screenshots. It’s probably a good idea if you can turn it on and off like this one and be careful, but it likely still needs polishing. That was when it was first out.

        Python? This will require “specialized hardware” just due to the interpreter overhead taking continuous screenshots of everything you do and indexing/storing them. Why bother implementing something like this using an interpreted language??

        When I first heard of the MS feature, my first thought was that there’s gotta be a more efficient way to do this than taking screen shots and analyzing the image. The window manager has all of that information plus more context (like knowing that these pixels are part of a non-standard window that uses transparency to act like a non-rectangular shape, while this thing that looks like a window is actually an image because the user was looking at someone else’s screenshot).

        Even better would be integration with the applications themselves; they have even more contextual information than the window manager has.

          If it required waiting for apps to provide this integration you would be waiting 10 years for it to mature. There would logically be some benefit to looking at the window before compositing + saving text from none visible windows and avoiding recapturing content which hadn’t changed.

            Fucking podman… Oh man. I have lost way too many hours dealing with podman.

            It’s frustrating, because they’ve put so much into it. It’s close enough that vendors think they can get away with saying their containers are compatible and they’ve probably really honestly tested for brief periods and it really usually is close enough that you don’t discover the differences until you’re already very well established, but then it’s just a little different and it takes you FOREVER to find out why but then the only option once you do find that out is to completely start over from scratch with docker. And, almost no vendor is going to treat them differently because if we talk to redhat, the first note we’ll get back is that everything we’re trying to do should be fully compatible and there should be no need to worry about that. And, then eventually after a few weeks, it’s docker’s fault that IT WORKS IN DOCKER AND NOT IN PODMAN. Docker needs to go fix it so it’s broken for them too, it’s not a bug for podman, the problem is with the one that’s working.

            I’m a bit traumatized, not always the same, but this isn’t a singular occurrence.

        I generally agree with you, but wasn’t SELinux primarily the NSA and Tresys? I know it’s a primarily Red Hat thing now, but I think it would have existed in some form without them.

        It is entirely possible I’m misinformed.

          It was made by the NSA to secure the already existing RHEL systems. Without RHEL there wouldnt be SELinux, I guess.

          I didn’t know what lard bread is, so I looked it up.

          I discovered it was bread with prosciutto baked in. I thought it sounded unappealing.

          Then I thought of “making bacon pancakes” and thought I should open my mind.

            So the thing is, English is not my first language and I used the wrong word. I guess it’s more like greasy bread. Just plain pig fat spread on a slice of bread. But what you just described actually sounds awesome.

            Like the primary fault in bread is that it doesn’t have enough fat. You can fix that with butter or cheese, but what if you bake saturated fat into the bread?
