as in, disable the optional fixes and you remain just with the mandatory shit that came with them? thanks but no thanks
-
the improvements and fixes would be welcome if we could tell them apart and separate them from undesirable changes imposed through a nonfree packaging arrangement

> releasing a patch to make your computer work better
how can you tell? yeah, it might fix a security hole they put in there, but it also makes the cpu much slower, so you'll be driven to buy a newer one from them. but what else does it do? you can't tell. there's the channel for enshittification.

you missed "theater" or "illusion" after "security"
doctorow law: if they give you a lock without the key, it's not for your benefit
analogously, if you get software without freedom, it's not for your benefit, it's to control you. and the more control the software installation channel gives the software supplier, the stronger the risk of enshittification it imposes on you
-
it's only needed to stay secure if you are already insecure to begin with, running software that you shouldn't be trusting and that makes you vulnerable to boot. the "required" updates won't fix the underlying source of your insecurity, they will only provide a channel for enshittification of your computing device

é muito autista eu ficar incomodado de falarem na tv que sou portador do espectro autista?
não, gente, não sou o portador desse espectro. ninguém é. espectro autista é que nem facebook, não sou eu que o tenho, é ele que me tem. ou, no caso, não tem, porque nunca fui capturado por essa rede daninha. mas de estar nalgum ponto do espectro autista ninguém escapa. **todos** estamos nesse espectro, em pontos diferentes dele, a maioria sem transtornos nem deficiências relacionadas a ele. no meu caso, me descobri portador de alguns transtornos, algumas deficiências relacionadas ao meu ponto nesse espectro. e algumas delas tornam difícil eu levar de boa essas bobagens que falam sobre nós na tv.

resumorístico da ópera: co-mantenedor do xz tentou botar um blob binário nele e o pessoal não curtiu porque podia tomar o controle do computador e fazer coisas indesejadas, como qualquer software inauditável. pessoal do kernel linux e das distros que tentam fazer parecido, se liga aí e aprende como se devia tratar esse tipo de software...

imagine if a terrorist attack targeted one of these countries and murdered innocent civilians, and instead of getting condemnation, it got celebrated or minimized. say an attack perpetrated by isis, or by some country’s armed forces.

I'm afraid I can't tell what question of mine you're responding to. your response seems disconnected from what I asked or wrote. I suppose we're miscommunicating.
if I were to apply your own apparent standards to your own posts, I'd have to conclude you're the one making absurd claims and lying, but I realize this would make for more heat than useful information in this conversation, so I won't apply them.
instead, I will try again to point out that you and we may very well have different experiences.
I suspect what you qualify as absurd claims are actually rhetorical devices intended to bring about the very kind of reaction you had, which, if your media experience was similar to ours, would lead to pondering and useful exploration of the media contradictions and hypocrisy.
since your media experience appears to be different, that doesn't work for you. but it doesn't invalidate the article, because there are people whose experience is as described. you might be surprised by how many people it applies to, and by how lucky and privileged you are that it doesn't apply to you
note that this is not about being able to find a counterexample or two in dissonant media, it's about taking note of dominant trends. being able to find the information in some non-maintstream news sources is not even close to the same as having it properly and fairly covered without too much bias in mainstream media. I hope you can see the difference.
-
do you feel that describing your fortunate (privileged?) local mainstream media experience somehow invalidates mine or hers?
if your local dominant media calls out Israel's war crimes, rather than defending Israel's supposed right to defend from the people it oppresses, casting doubt on anything that would make Israel look bad, and taking for granted anything that would make it look good, I wonder how it has affected local government's stances towards Israel. does it manage to prevail over US/NATO's dominance?

whew! my neo freerunner very nearly died because of a filesystem corruption on the removal storage device that was configured to mount-or-fail on boot. it contained my alt boot image too. not finding a card reader, I used my backup freerunner to fsck it

and the invasion of ukraine has been widely reported and called out
contrast with the reporting on the invasion of gaza
both invasions are horrible
one is reported as horrible. the other, as righteous.
that's the injustice that the article calls out

Embarrassment, hopefully

that's a complex question
it's the Fed multiplied by the square root of -1
