  • Yes, I realize that.

    You do realize that this kind of attack happened after spectre and meltdown? Apple knew of the risks, but decided to ignore them.

  • Why does it have to be about privacy? Why can't it be about not centralizing power into a handful of for-profit entities?

  • PixelFed has increased the Fediverse's monthly active users by over 40% in the last few weeks, how do we feel?

    Do you think walgreens and CVS don't sell your data? Lol.

  • I don’t think local drug stores can afford to be cheaper than a big corporate chain.

    Sure they can! It's not like their owners are surviving off of beans and rice, lol.

  • Are they?

    I think using goodrx.com has given me the best results to save money on drugs.

    Local drug stores should totally be displaying "we're cheaper than CVS!" if they want people to show up.

    That is, if they're actually cheaper...

  • If you think a website is unsafe, don’t open it.

    Ahh yes, back to the dark ages of the internet where just clicking the wrong link can completely compromise your system.

    Thanks crapple and its useful idiots.

  • The main issue with these vulnerabilities is a loss in performance when the microcode patch gets applied.

    On a more philosophical note, it's also a trend to release insecure products to tout performance metrics. Intel did it. Now it's apple's turn.

    Don't trust corporations, ever.

  • The powers that be know the threat free software is to their control.

    Richard Stallman was right when he said "free software, free society."

  • You're definitely onto something. This isn't the first time corporations have targeted FOSS, but because Linux is gaining in popularity we're starting to see the old FUD and EEE tactics come back into play.

    Once we start seeing more normal people using it, primarily women, we'll also see tons of misinformation that exists to sow the seeds of doubt in their minds.

    Probably something like the old "mac vs. PC" commercials but with "windows vs. linux"

  • I don't use facebook, but I'm seeing Linux brought up way more among the consumer tech-crowd.

    Looks like they all want to fit in with each other by resisting "windows surveillance."

    Personally, I think it's pretty stupid where they decide to draw the line, almost like they're not even making the decision for themselves. But I'll still accept it if it causes more people to drop proprietary software.

  • Hey man, neither of us can see the future.

    It's totally possible I'm incorrect, I even said that at the bottom of my text.

    If I'm wrong, great. But I won't hold my breath because I wasn't born yesterday. Seeing this guy say "not for sale" while begging for money is a very tired stance to have, considering all the people who work harder than him and don't rely on donations or sales.

  • Great questions!

    I would assume there are no plans to release on free stores like F-droid because the people behind these projects usually don't care about the ecosystem; they're just in it for the money! It's all auto-pilot for them, which means releasing only on the company stores "just because" that's what everyone else is doing.

    I'd love to be proven wrong, but I won't hold my breath!
