Welcome to the community for Windows 11, Microsoft's latest computer operating system.
Rules:
I've been using it for a few months and it's been great, but I just found out that by default it injects itself into all processes and it gave me the ick (for example if you use Firefox you can see in about:third-party)
The explanation provided seems kinda logical but I don't know if it's legit or not
Looks dope, ty for sharing ❤️
I stumbled across this recently trying to make my taskbar smaller without borking the size of everything else
It's nice :)
I tried out a few of them, and I'm currently using these two:
You could also post this in [email protected]
I'm afraid of the Windows hate on general Lemmy communities. 😅
Thank you!
Each mod includes a caution to review its source code on GitHub, ensuring users can make informed decisions before installing any customizations.
About as useful as an “I agree to the terms and conditions” checkbox tbh. Open source code suffers horribly from misplaced community trust. The most deadly type of gathering for children is a pool party surrounded by adults. Because if everyone is watching the kids to make sure they don’t drown, nobody is watching the kids. Every single person independently goes “I don’t need to worry about it, cuz someone else will notice.” If everyone is auditing the code, nobody is auditing the code.
This also implies that the average population has an astronomically higher capacity to read code than actually exists. The average Excel user can’t read most simple Excel methods.
I don't understand your argument. Closed source is better?
No. Simply pointing out that urging users to audit the code is a lost cause; The vast majority of users won’t even know how to read the code, much less how to check for exploits or backdoors.
Yep, looks like code to me!
