Brave Search: Am I a joke to you?
I somewhat get the stance some have against Windows. I myself aren’t to fond of Windows anymore and I’ll gladly doge it (and its company) at every chance I get.
HOWEVER, I understand that there’s software or even hardware that won’t and likely will never work on any other OS but Windows (even if it’s only through market dominance).
If ones use case is primarely for multi-player gaming then Windows (for most of these games) is the go to as for that aspect it offers the less painful way.
Could some of those games be made to run on Linux? Sure but it’s likely gonna be a pain all the way through (and will likely break with the next patch).
Some might answer with “to avoid those games then”, but realistically, many want to enjoy these titles, and they have every right to do so.
TLDR: Windows is good at certain tasks, Linux is good at certain tasks. Use the tool that that fits your use case (tasks) the best, but still look over to the other side every onece in a while.
Or the LibreWolf fork 😁
I’m using uBlock, so far it works no problem for me :)
Meanwhile Comma is looking pretty interesting
So it’s the “We can take down what we don’t like”-Act
That’s what I hate about the open source crowd’s “everyone can check the source code” argument! How many users actually do that?
It’s still a decent argument. While many/most may not be able to read it and understand it it is still better to have some (outside the project) that can look at the code and check it independently.
It must be pretty fucking close to 0%!
It certainly depends on the project and how much it is used. A library someone threw together on an afternoon will unlike a bigger project like NGINX, have little to no external eyes on it.
Though it’s not just about reading it. Open source projects (depending on their size) can usually react faster when a bug or problem is found within it.
A dev with malicious intent could easily introduce shit in an update that no one would notice for an extended period of time if ever!
The same can be said with closed source applications. A dev or the entire company (if they where to go down such a path) could also easily introduce something nasty. In that case there would be no way at all to confirm that anything bad or upright malicious was introduced (unless it gets so bad that it would trigger an Anti-Virus or is easily noticeable).
Is Open Source alone making software more secure (or prevent malicious actions)?
No. But it can be a sizable improvement. Just like security through obscurity1/2 (when given as an isolated argument) is not making software more secure (dare I say it decreases its security; when used in isolation).

TOSDR (terms of service; didn’t read) can also be a really nice help
Aand they’ve blocked any new comments or issues on their Github…
So that’s how it begins
