Microsoft Wants to Protect Your Linux Desktop with Defender
Reply in thread
I've seen the server version in action. It hooks into the linux audit subsystem, and traces every system action and operation. The data it collects is super detailed, and designed to track which user, which program, and which servers are connected to, which files are read and written to track and potentially halt lateral movement through networks.
For regulated enterprise environments, it satisfies IDS/IPS/EDR requirements, and it's all wired up with their M365/Intune/Defender management portal. It makes some neat reports automatically about how data flows through a network, especially if all the points on your network are licensed ($$) and included in the defender system.
For personal systems. Yikes. Just Yikes.
It also relies on modern CPU features, so it would complain loudly about our older servers, and spam logs with messages about how it couldn't run, even though the system was updated to a current version of linux. It also had (last year?) some bugs that had it spinning wildly on a closed socket, which was fun to find :-/.

why do transphobes mention pedophiles/compare them to pedophiles when most trans people (as do most people) hate pedophiles?
There is an ongoing attempt to create an equivalence of Trans Persons (and anyone exposing youth to LGBTQ+ ideas in any form, including loving families) to pedophiles through CONSTANT repetition, despite any lack of widespread evidence. There is also a simultaneous attempt to strongly advocate for death penalty for pedophiles. I'm sure you can see where this is heading ......

Check out AMSAT-OSCAR 7 -- Closer to home, but launched in 1974, and still waking up when there's sun to operate. It's the oldest "operational" satellite still up there. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMSAT-OSCAR_7

Women shouldn’t hold office, says Republican woman now running for office
Biggs returned to McCurdy’s show in December to analyze the results of the 2024 election. Discussing electoral maps, she again questioned the wisdom of women voting. “Have you seen ones where it’s like, if women were the only ones to vote, what it would look like and it’s literally like 80% blue," Biggs said with a laugh. "It’s like, ‘Whoa. Repeal the 19th Amendment.’”
These people are sick. They don't even really care WHY it'd be 80% blue. Just jump right to, "Well disenfranchise them, they clearly don't vote the right way"

YSK: On the internet you can just freely say what you really think even if you know it's unpopular.
Of course you can. You're not free from consequences of what you said though. The internet remembers EVERYTHING. Especially on federated platforms like lemmy. Some of my first messages on newsgroups in the 1990's are still floating around the internet.

LG’s changelog confirms its monitor app installs bloatware on Windows 11, exposing Microsoft’s long-standing problem
Windows Latest previously reported that some Windows 11 PCs ship with malware built in that not even a clean install through the wrong region setting can avoid, and Microsoft told us at the time that they were aware of the behavior and looking into it. 3 years later, the company still hasn’t closed the door on OEMs using their own update pipeline to push ads.
This is supposed to be literally the selling point of a gated app store -- they app store owner makes sure the apps available do not do anything negative to the user. If it fails this basic function, then why put up with it?
