The xz backdoor was a packaged file distributed with the standard packages though. It would be trivial to find.

Don't be shitty.

Why? It's not hard. They typically hash files and look for hits against a database of known vulnerabilities.

This is fantastic.

You sound like you have no disabilities that make it hard for you to use the Internet. Good for you.

If AI can add usability features that help people use the Internet easier then that's a good thing. You don't need to use it. Why complain about software being capable of helping others?

NT (and therefore all Windows versions today) always had multi-user security. It’s essentially a ported version of DEC Alpha.

  1. DEC Alpha is a hardware not a software.
  2. I know that WinNT had multi-user capabilities, but I've simplified for conversation.

Windows is historically a "single user OS" whereas Linux is historically a multi-user OS. They're both multi-user now but the philosophy of these backgrounds results in what you see today.

So under Windows you login "as an admin" and don't need passwords for many things - similar to (but very much not the same as) running Linux as root.

Under Linux you login "as a user" and need to elevate permissions for things which can affect other users on the same system. Typically with sudo these days.

These lines are very much blurring so you can do many things under Linux without a password and some things on Windows require "running powershell as an admin".

Waiting for them to actually commit a crime is usually necessary.

Using containers for build environments is probably my favorite use of containers.

I have an application I build for Linux, Mac and Windows and frankly building two or three Linux builds in containers is easier than the Windows and Mac builds alone. A github action automates it easily.
