Right you are! I'm not sure how that went over my head. Eh, too much morning, too little coffee. Thanks for correcting me.

Isn't that irrelevant? According to the article, the archive itself doesn't contain any malicious code. Rather, it's encoded in the file name, and can start executing itself when being parsed by the shell - no extraction needed.

It seems to me that avoiding rar files, or limiting your ability to extract them will provide a false sense of security at best. Seems to me that this could be done using any file type at all.

I think you're allowed to set your Day mode to sepia. :p

I'm not actually sure I understand it. What about Mint is easier or more user friendly than say, a Fedora spin?

And if having that decanonicalized Ubuntu base is important, then why not install Tuxedo OS instead? Plasma is by far the most Windows-like DE in my experience, and it is more developed and featureful. Cinnamon, as I understand it, is still stuck in X11 land, which is less secure, and only in maintenance mode.

Is there life after death? Yes, there is Second Life!

Would you be kind enough to share the resource you find that satisfies you? :)

Say hello to Yet Another Linus Thorvalds Android, or YALTA for short. Name was decided upon at a conference. It was the compromise option, but remember that Android (and now, also androids) are technically still Linux (and now, also Linus).

Drawing directly on the desktop is a native feature of KDE Plasma. :)

Nu ved jeg ikke længere om “to potter pis” refererer til natpotter, eller til dette mål!

Hmm... It's only logical.

Intet ved virkeligheden er nogensinde simpelt. :)

Men hvis det er noget du er nysgerrig omkring, så kan jeg klart anbefale at lytte til denne episode af podcast'et The Foreign Affairs Interview, hvor gæsten er Lant Pritchett, en økonomiprofessor (London School of Economics, og før dét ved Oxford), der tidligere har arbejdet i Verdensbanken, og som forsker i bl.a. immigration og udvikling. Hvis jeg skulle udpege én enkelt podcast-episode som jeg ikke ville have været foruden, så er det denne.

Jeg har ikke tallene på hånden, men ja, fodlænke gør det hundrede gange nemmere ikke at ende på kanten af samfundet, når din om er afsonet.
