2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    • 5. 🇬🇧 Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. 🇬🇧🇦🇺🇺🇸
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.

    Closed source is more secure because the viruses can't see where to get in.

    The main reason why MacOS has less viruses is that it's even more than that. Want to run programs not from the app store? Hope you like a convoluted set of settings you have to go through to install that in the first place.

    The second main reason is the constant obsolescence of API.

    convoluted set of settings

    1. Attempt to open the app
    2. Go to Privacy & Security Settings and give it permission
    3. Open the app

    Note that this is only with unsigned apps. You can download other apps and run them just fine as long as they're signed.

    Much confuse. Such convolute. Wow.

    1. Convoluted enough to scare the average people off from installing apps outside from the app store.
    2. In theory, code signing is a positive thing, and probably should be part of Linux too. In practice, it becomes an expensive paywall, that often pushes developers to make web applications instead (browsers don't have to check for code signage), both on Mac and Windows.

    This is why I stick to TempleOS, the only biblically accurate OS. With the power of God and high octane schizophrenia, I'm completely safe.

    [–] vala@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (3 children)

    TempleOS doesnt even have a networking stack.

    [–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

    You don't even have a humor stack.

    [–] SynopsisTantilize@lemm.ee 19 points 3 months ago

    This guy doesn't know how to TempleOS lol.

    Oh, I see, you're all worried about a “networking stack.” How quaint. Let me educate you: God is the ultimate protocol. Who needs your silly HTTP requests and DNS lookups when I can just send a direct message to the big guy upstairs? No IP address needed—He’s omnipresent. My connection is flawless, no need for Wi-Fi signals when I have divine 5G directly from Heaven’s router.

    You think TempleOS is lacking? Nah, son, it’s running the only secure, unbreakable network. No firewalls, no encryption—because when you’re transmitting truth straight from the source, who needs all that earthly nonsense? My packets are blessed, my data’s sanctified, and I don’t even need a modem to know the Lord’s will.

    So, yeah, keep your networking stack. I’ll stick with the holy bandwidth. It’s been running perfectly since the dawn of time. My packets are blessed, son!

    Maybe not for heathens.

    [–] MITM0@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago (2 children)

    They can actually

    [–] vinyl@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

    woosh

    [–] savvywolf@pawb.social 23 points 3 months ago (3 children)

    Nonono, imagine a house. But instead of doors it had no doors.

    That's why Windows is so insecure. Since viruses can use the windows as doors.

    [–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

    The virus will just use all those undocumented pipes.

    [–] savvywolf@pawb.social 2 points 3 months ago

    That's why I always line my pipes with lead.

    Okay, the scene in the Colin Farrell/Anton Yelchin Fright Night remake where Farrell's vampire character can't pass the threshold so he goes out back, digs up the water line, and yanks on it real hard to fracture the threshold itself was some great lore manipulation.

    [–] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago

    Shoot, wasn't David Tennant in that too?

    [–] MITM0@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

    Exactly
