New 'Looney Tunables' Linux bug gives root on major distros

Android doesn't use glibc, but Bionic, a C standard library developed by Google. So I don't think this vulnerability affects Android.

Tidal’s subscription is getting simpler and cheaper — yes, you read that right
I really wanted to like tidal, but honestly it's not really good. The search sucks, no offline mode on desktop, no official Linux client, an incomplete catalog...
It's not worth it, even if they are the least bad for paying artists.

This is not a problem with people, but with UX design.
We don't need a corporation to have usable interfaces. Right now, if you visit join-lemmy.org, the main focus is for people wanting to host an instance, which is only a small part of the advanced user base. The common user won't care about the fact Lemmy is made with rust or that there's a docker image.
I don't think it's only an issue with Lemmy, lots of open-source projects lack user-friendliness and onboarding.

Your first link is based on XUL, which was deprecated because it was wasting resources being unmaintainable and insecure.
Here's a great article about that

Thom Yorke finally made a statement on Israel and Gaza, and it's one of the most neutral stuff ever. Imagine Dragons on the other hand waved a Palestinian flag during a show.

Ambulance hits cyclist, rushes him to hospital, then sticks him with $1,800 bill
How the fuck is this "fuck cars" content? I hate cars as much as everyone here, but I don't think we can replace ambulances with bikes

Damn, you're shilling hard!
I don't want to use my phone for basic features like the offline mode, I'm not always connected to the internet on my laptop, that's it.
I don't care about Apple music, and almost every streaming platform provides some kind of SDK. It doesn't change the fact that I don't have a Linux client, and probably never will (or at least feature-complete) because they partly use Dolby Atmos, which is a closed-source licensed format.
And no, even on paper, tidal's not the better option to support artists. Buy tracks on Bandcamp, buy merch and vinyl directly from artists...

Tech Guidelines For Europeans
These posts are already beginning to be tiring. It's always the same software, and always the same arguments against some of the choices.
Ditching open source projects for corporate European stuff doesn't solve anything, it just moves the problem. How can you be sure that every country in the EU won't break some trade deals and leave the EU at some point? And closed source software is not better at protecting your privacy if that's what you want.
And the "European based forks/open source projects"(whatever that means) is a stupid argument. For example, cryptography experts pointed out issues in threema, so why recommend it instead of signal which is open source projects, and by definition, not tied to a country?
And finally, I think we should stop recommending LLMs altogether. They're an ecological and sociological disaster.

I don't think it's necessarily the job of the developers, the main issue IMO is that there's not enough involvement from other specialists such as designers in open-source communities.
