  • Is it problematic? yes. Is it evil? no.

    As long as these gender-exclusive spaces don’t preclude people from participating in wider society, it’s fine. I can live just fine knowing I’m not welcome in womens safe spaces. I think most women are okay with not being invited to the boys weekend.

    Just overall this seems like a non-issue. Where I draw the line is things like, men not letting women into certain jobs, or barring them from voting, etc. Basically if you prevent people from participating in society in some way. That has nothing to do with people wanting their own spaces.












  • SSH (Secure SHell) is a protocol that allows remote shell access from other computers over network. It’s quite secure, but not everybody may want sshd (SSH daemon) running in the background automatically.

    systemd, by far the most common init system (first program that the kernel runs, which starts and stops your other programs), however, does run it in the background automatically now.

    The way to disable this is neither through a simple command, nor configured in a simple config file somewhere in /etc/systemd/... , but instead in your boot options. Understandably, this feels dumb.

    It’s not really something to worry about for average users.






  • Red Hat: Hi here’s some tools we made, you can see how every single one of them works in full detail and you can modify them as you see fit, and distribute modified copies.

    Microsoft: Hi we peddle proprietary spyware and we aren’t even secretive about it.

    Basically the same thing?

    Also systemd rocks, and the kernel is widely audited OSS, Microsoft will have a very hard time sneaking in anything malicious.
