Copy+paste the article into GPTZero, and every sentence is flagged as likely to be generated text.

Furthermore, the article is utterly devoid of substance. Every section reads like boilerplate filler that could maybe be building to some larger point, then the article ends with basically “people use the OS that meets their needs.”

It’s a junk article on what appears to be a junk site.

There is nothing of substance in this obviously LLM-generated spam.

I see two possible reasons for your situation. One is that the company is turning to contractors to fill in gaps in their knowledge/experience, which is why everyone else has no clue how to tackle these tasks and why they get assigned the easy ones.

The other possibility is that the senior devs are gaming the metrics, letting the employees knock out easy tasks while the contractor is stuck with untangling the knots of the more intractable tasks.

Look into installing AppArmor instead of SELinux. AppArmor is easier to configure, and SELinux is not officially supported on Arch.

They are under expansion chips.

I was referring to the linked site, but yeah I’ve had turn on the option to hide bot accounts to cut down on some of the junk here.

This entire site feels like it was written by ChatGPT or some other LLM.

More specifically, it’s a lobbying group.

Most of my recent experience with office is on corporate laptops loaded down with enterprise management software, antivirus, etc, so I relate to this meme.

After being on Linux desktops for both work and home for the last few years, it’s jarring how sluggish corporate windows laptops can be, even with new and fast hardware.

GPL can be used for commercial purposes, but it requires all software derived from it to also be open source and GPL compatible. So no one whose commercial business relies on selling software will use GPL because their customers can copy and distribute the code.

Neither Safari nor Chrome’s rendering engine is GPL. Safari’s engine is LGPL, which means the binary library can be linked into a closed source program, but modifications to the library’s code must remain open.

Chromium is BSD, which doesn’t even require modifications to remain open. So I can take chromium’s source, change it however I want for my own browser, and never distribute that code.

If Safari’s and Chrome’s engines were GPL, Safari and Chrome would be forced to be open source, and they very much are not.
