I feel like the whole switch came from him needing to kill the USAID investigation into star link. That and he has always been a piece of shit and the electric car was just goals aligning. Us wanting off fossil fuels and him wanting to make lots of money.
I know it’s not but Gaming Pillow just sounds dirty.
Yeah I use debian + kde for decades. Debian will install your pick of DEs at install.
Debian it’s a rock solid base that can be updated automatically with minimal user oversight
Yeah that is his point he is trying to make at some point you just have to come to terms with that trust since you are right it’s not feasible to build your own hardware.
No worries , but i think I’m not being clear if you build it from scratch. how are you going you going to compile it ?
Your welcome but that’s the point he was making even if you build everything on your own. The backdoor would be in the compiler. So even if you built /bin/login for example he would just inject it at compile time when compiling your code. But then you asked I will just compile the compiler but you have to compile it at some point and he can inject the code back into the compiler at that point.
If you read this you will never trust anything again. If you aee not familiar with him that is Ken Thompson one of the father’s of Unix.
The only one that has held up for me is USS Callister. But black mirror is no longer relevant on a socal commentary as the world we live in already put on the clown makeup and it’s clear no one listens to the warnings.
