There's a real opportunity here and we can either take it and run or we can let it pass us by.

They're definitely going to back down. I'm guessing they're going to back down a little (maybe create an opt out for the enterprise customers?) and then claim victory, but we'll see.
You should really be using a pre commit hook to catch secrets. Admittedly it may not have caught this, but manual review is (clearly) not always sufficient.
Basically what it's doing is booting to an alternate OS configuration to do the install. It's way easier to just reboot again rather than tear down the installer environment and go into a normal one. That's basically a reboot in all but name. It's annoying to have to enter your encryption passphrase twice, though.
I feel like a lot of Linux behaviors tell me most Linux people don't encrypt their data, which tbh should not only be the default but should be difficult to opt out of. Apple actually does this one right. Encryption is just the way it works.
Pretty sure you can configure "open as root" in some file managers. Also you can configure a gksudo (or similar) setup.
Really though, that makes me think. The file manager should detect you're opening something you don't have write access to and ask if you want to authenticate as root to open it.
Yeah, like, "how did it get this was"? Well it wasn't easy, it took a lot of hard work.
I don't think i care what Jack Dorsey says that isn't backed up independently. Even if he's right i just don't trust him.
XFS. It fills the same role as ext4 but it's less likely to lose your data and that's probably the most important part of a file system. Not that ext4 is bad or anything, but XFS is good. The only downside to XFS is you can't shrink the filesystem size.
Okay this is sick as fuck, though. I wouldn't pay for it but it's sweet.
That 2023 number is about to get way more lopsided.
In the USSR it was kind of mixed. If you were at all associated with the old regime you were fucked but tbh a lot of them weren't super sympathetic anyway.
In China, lol. They fucking murdered everyone who knew anything and then suffered horribly for it. Of course, even then they might have been somewhat okay except Mao thought he knew better so they got the Great Leap Forward and stuff like the Four Pests campaign.
Yeah, even if zero people ever consented the ability to defeat end to end exception would still be required in the software just in case someone ever did consent. That's all governments need to bring their other powers down on companies. They can spy on whoever they like with this.
