We don’t use computers the same way we did when unix was designed. And the internet didn’t exist then.
End of rant. Maybe.
I guess it’s 2 versions now given that ARM chips are popular now. Anyway its is just some pipe dream shit.
Practically speaking, we need a new open source OS that is designed with all the stuff that we’ve learnt over the last 50-something years.
Mobile OSs have sandboxed app environments. The fear of installing non “bare metal machines” originates in desktop operating systems. Which are all fucking trash and need a rethink but just nobody has gone and put in the work to make a modern desktop OS that addresses this. We need to define an ISA so that I can run any x86 app on any x86 machine without giving it access to the entire system. That we have to have 3 fucking versions of an app that runs on the same hardware is insane. It’s this nonsense that led to running everything in the browser seem like a good ideas (it’s not).

I’d rather lick Tim Apples balls than put anything semi serious in a fucking web app.
Honestly, anyone suggesting that nonsense already gave up on any kind of mechanical sympathy.
The only people suggesting web apps are front end web developers that don’t really give a shit how slow or insecure stuff is.
And yes my arguments are unapologetically sloppy 😂
To be clear, I don’t very much rate the dark matter theory. To me it’s the same as saying “we have no idea why this doesn’t add up”
Your model relies on an assumed continuum of past events. In the grabby alien example it goes so far as to assume a model of the universe which we cannot explain “errrrr dark matter or something”, its practical to do so but to claim a precision to the extent of “no unknowns” I think it verging on hubris.
I.e. there are always unknowns outside of any model. Arguably this is the only rational assumption you can make: that you don’t know what you don’t know.
Assuming a simplistic model may be rational and even “precise” but it does not tell us anything quantitative about said precision.
Who did you speak to and how close together were their eyes?
😂 say it to my face
My model is that all my data is compromised anyway. I use Linux because it sucks a bit less than windows and macOS, not for security reasons. But I get what your saying and you’re right. I’m just frustrated at the state of things.
Tbf GrapheneOS looks like a good project… but my security model is such that I might as well just accept all my data is being pinged to some server and not waste any time kidding myself otherwise or potentially falling into a honeypot.
