OSM is run by a foundation - https://www.openstreetmap.org/about

This makes it a lot more difficult to cock it up compared to a shareholder run company.

Is it actually dangerous to run Firefox as root?

Yes, very. This is not specific to Firefox, but anything running as root gets access to everything. Only one thing has to go wrong for the whole system to get busted.

usually logged into KDE Plasma as root.

Please don't do this! DEs are not tested to be run as root! Millions of lines of code are expected to not have access to anything they shouldn't have and as such might be built to fail quietly if accessing something they shouldn't in the first place. Same thing applies to Firefox, really.

Most of them.

• Debian world - apt sucks. For something with a sole purpose of resolving a dependency tree, it's surprisingly bad at that.

• Redhat world - everything is soooo old. I can see why business people like it, buy I rarely, if ever, agree with business people.

• Opensuse world - I've only tried it once, probably 15 years ago. Didn't really know my way around computers all that much at the time, but it didn't click and I've left it. Later on I found out about their selling out to Microsoft and never bothered touching it again.

• Arch - it was my daily for a year or two. Big fan. It still runs my email. At some point the size of packages started to annoy me, though. Still has the best wiki. I've never really bothered with the spinoffs, as the model of Arch makes them useless and more problematic to deal with.

I've got the Gentoo bug now. For the first time I genuinely feel ~/. A lean, mean system of machines :)

I wholeheartedly support this dumbass decision. Nothing makes youngsters learn basic computing better than a ban that can be arbitralily overcome using basic networking skills.

I get the same issue all the time lately. Search, click link, go back - clicked link gone, different results shown.

It's not. TempleOS is a famous from scratch OS created by a guy with serious mental illness. It's a sad story, but the capability of that guy was incredible. He's gone now :(

I'll believe it when I see it.

that doesn't necessarily mean it will be an RTS, and whatever shape it takes will depend on the person or team who goes to bat for it.

So... it's not Starcraft, then. It's just another game.

This is a shit article from a shit source. It references itself, which, in turn, references guardian. There's no mention of police pulling data from period tracking services. The only related thing I could find in OP was a quote from whatever tortoisemedia is:

We already know that police routinely remove phones and computers from women suspected of having an [illegal] abortion and it’s even happening following miscarriage and pregnancy loss.

And it sucks, but this is not a dystopian surveillance bullshit OP is trying to sell. Put a password on your shit and you're good to go.

That's a drop in profit, right? Not an actual loss

I think the main keyword here is could, unfortunately. I live in a first world country and could benefit from it, which means there's very little chance nobody will snatch it up and abuse it.

Why does this feel like an ad
