It was a serious issue back then. People were wandering around on the Internet with root accounts. A lot of #linux IRC channels were kicking&banning anyone with “~root” or “root” ident with educational sentence like “Do not use root account as your ordinary account, check instructions”. We don’t see the issue widespread today since distros did very good intended “dark patterns” to push users to regular user accounts. Linux (or UNIX) “root” account is true god mode. E.g. infamous “rm” as root joke (!) could even affect Windows running WSL2, so MS had to implement special workarounds.
A separate /home can save you hours or even days in several occasions however don’t try crazy things like trying to have KDE of Ubuntu share same theme/settings with KDE6. A /var on a fast drive can create wonders too.
Unsurprisingly it is the gigantic EA application which breaks Sims 4 most of the times. It crashes, Steam notices non zero exit and gives up.
EA isn’t so managed so they don’t even reach MS to stop pushing alpha/beta updates to stable version of their apps via Winget. So you can guess how much they will care about Linux issues. I mean Steam guys won’t really hack their binaries to fix it so it is up to them.
I run KDE 6 on Core 2 Duo with Nvidia 9400/nouveau.
Apple did something like that, I guess in the first version of fast user switching for OSX.
On the bottom of the page containing the cool rotation animation, they wrote "Because we can.’
You either have to learn very advanced, current security stuff and completely understand the logic of Linux security or pay significant sum to a person who knows to do criminal things on any Linux or protect your private life. Windows? Multiply time& money by 10X. Unless you are Fortune 500 or a government you aren’t getting the source anyway.
I am telling it to people who will install any ISO blindly paying significant amounts of cash to VPN services with their own credit cards and access their Gmail :-)
Link gives 404 error. Perhaps change it to archive.org or fix?
These are international festivals. Their Facebook page is still up last time I checked which could be a deadly mistake. The announcements etc were mentioning it and there are people who blames them for finding a “f.cked up place” to set it.
This is what Islamic fascism does when they think they have enough power. A Turkish leader said “Democracy is a train which you can use to reach your target.”
People not inside hotel industry would have zero clue about what kind of a leeching monopoly that is. Especially for little /boutique ones.
You can track this globally using this service (social category selected and USA). IMHO it is doing awesome.

I live in a country where reporters are kidnapped, jailed or getting account hacked since all GSM operators gave “root access” to the Strongman 's script kiddies.
While reporters barely “eat” they were even forced to buy blue ticks because of new algorithm. Why? Because the general public didn’t give up the platform.
Musk recently had a closed meeting with the Strongman even bringing his baby and promised some Tesla shit. His SpaceX also carry satellite missions of the regime.
I don’t know if it is based on truth however these cars are called moving spies. I don’t drive cars so I didn’t investigate it and on the other hand Tesla is coming from Elon Musk a friend of sheiks and dictators.
Unless the user made very specific choices and gave up many features, they are being “spied” at “root” level while using Android. Android is free (as in beer) and ad/private data of end users pay for it.
I use like 95% FOSS (except DRM crap), trying to contribute much as possible and I know a lot of people/projects. The question should be asked is if these fanatics donated a cent to projects /services they use?
Universal answer to that is: money. That cult/islamic sect/religious organisation whatever has amazing amount of money and connections in the whole World. Thanks to Islamo-fascist govt and their clown like propaganda World doesn’t take any allegations against them serious.
Downloads doesn’t mean usage. I really hope it happens one day but it isn’t currently the case. We need governments, politicians and media to wake up.
(citation needed) Seriously there are zero sources, numbers and article ends with a typical interaction bait. As a Turkish person who knows the Turkish shiftdelete I was almost happy that they have an English version for global market but not this tabloid like junk.
The phone sensors are so advanced that tools like “Sleep as Android” can record a perfect sleep snapshot just by leaving the phone on the bed while sleeping. I think Google can also record “private encounters” too. Actually, everything with a good sensor (smart watch(!)) can record everything. I am saying don’t be afraid, be horrified :-)
