"Finally I see some gears turning. We're making progress here people!"

I'm sorry, I don't think I can see the point you are making. Are you saying that one can get around the 3-5 people by using flatpaks, ro home directories and other mitigations?

A matter of perspective I think. It's a flaw in my opinion. Just downloading anything from anywhere sets one up for failure/malware.

Code Signing on its own is useless, I think. If there is no distribution structure or user-validated trustchain, of course. But then you don't really need Code Signing, a simple hash is enough.

My personal preference are the distro repos, to a point where I even dislike additional package managers like pip, npm or cargo.

I do mean downloading random stuff from random websites.

True. Still the most windows-like installation method.

Your wanted option is not gone, you can still download the binaries if the author presents them; or you can compile it from source. This is just another, more convenient way to distribute the program.

If you are looking to get your programs Windows-style, to download a binary or "install wizard", then you can look into appimages.

Like any form of distribution however: someone has to offer this, be it the author or "some rando".

Here.

You can only compare that if the $100/hr are certain. Having no clients means having $0/hr.

Also to compare the two she has to have an 8hr day. I don't have many experiences in the field, but that sounds not sustainable.

That's the joke ^^

But it also shows the influence of watching YouTube|TikTok|Other Streamers that ARE using advertiser friendly language.

Gotta keep the language advertiser friendly.

Well, she's advertised as a pretty woman, not a smart one.

And now, with a little less jest: It's a stable income over a week, with a guy she evidently likes to at least look at. No need for advertising in that time. Meals are paid, as is time off. Also, the 21$ assume that she is paid 24 hours a day (3000$ ÷ 24 ÷ 6 = 20,83333...$) so she gets paid for sleeping, eating, essentially her own time. She also gets the opportunity to scout new, well off clients.

I would take that deal.

Happiness is just a lack of information.

It's very versatile. It can be used as a threat, a sudden shock or long term torture. I'm not comfortable going into further detail.

Honestly I would be angry too. But then after I would have completely woken up I would laugh about it. And think of a payback. Maybe even something involving a moist, cold sponge.

Is it good or bad if it runs?

Fuck those people. Still not worth getting infected by a rootkit.

No.

Edit: Fuck your the deceiving walls of text (TOS).

Normally I would say that nobody deserves to be hacked. But now my perception of the situation has changed.

If viewed like a bank and my data is the money in it, then what's happening mostly is that my money gets stolen. After getting found out the bank says "We're sorry ;)"; the bank might even get insurance money, while I get multiple attempts at accessing my accounts at other services.

Now I would like to see this gross negligence punished. Preferably by a 4x2 to the head. Or cat-o-ninetails.
