Do you apply the same reasoning for software that use javascript, the JVM, the CLR or some other kind of VM?

These are server CPUs, not something you wanna put in your laptop or desktop.

write only medium

I guess you meant “write once”?

Anyway, this won’t prevent attacks that somehow swap the CD being read, or the backend logic for where to read the data from.

You cited Git as an example, but in Git it’s possible to e.g. force-push a branch and if someone later fetches it with no previous knowledge they will get the original version.

The problem is the “with non previous knowledge” and is the reason this isn’t a storage issue. The way you would solve this in git would be to fetch a specific commit, i.e. you need to already know the hash of the data you want.

For the Wayback Machine this could be as simple as embedding that hash in the url. That way when someone tries to fetch that url in the future they know what to expect and can verify the website data matches the hash.

This won’t however work if you don’t already have such hash or you don’t trust the source of it, and I don’t think there’s something that will ever work in those cases.

Lots of major companies like Microsoft and IBM also contribute to Linux, it doesn’t make them saints nor even necessarily compare to what they get for using the volunteer dev work inside Linux.

Most of those companies actually contribute to the kernel or to foundational software used on servers, but few contribute to the userspace for desktop consumers on the level that Valve does.

Where’s the punch?

In the face of everyone expecting an upgrade

To be fair trees still use energy for doing this, but that energy is conveniently provided by the sun.

Jokes on you, I subscribed to my mobile plan 8 years ago and I still pay 6€ for unlimited calls/sms and 30GB (Italy, Iliad)

Isn’t there already Box64/Box32? Not to mention most Linux software is already compiled for ARM thanks to being open source.

They used to, but they weren’t very good.

TBF the report says this was done using credential stuffing, so it wasn’t really Roku’s fault.

Because Rust is not the only language that made this faulty assumption. It is an issue that affects Rust’s stdlib, just like it is an issue that affects Python’s stdlib and other libraries. In fact this was first reported as a vulnerability to yt-dlp (where it was actually exploitable) and then discovered it applied to many other libraries (where the exploitability is highly dependent on how the feature is used).

Rust here is only used as clickbait because of its aim to be “safe”, but its position is no different from other languages.

If you read the article from the researcher that discovered the vulnerability you’ll see they never call out Rust in particular, only as part of a list of languages that are affected. https://flatt.tech/research/posts/batbadbut-you-cant-securely-execute-commands-on-windows/

More like Windows showing ads even when you boot Linux

However, how are they sabotaging it working on Linux.

For example they discontinued support for Rocket League on Linux (and Mac) after buying Psyonix.

I mean, if they actually tried it they should know what it’s about even without reading the article…

Citra is a 3DS emulator, this is a DS one, how are you comparing them?

They do kinda have a point against Spotify but they conveniently omit the fact that Apple Music, their own music app, competes against Spotify without those restrictions that Spotify wants to remove.

Even after reading the key points it wasn’t clear “how” they manage to do that. The article is not much more detailed, but at least mentions them exploiting android’s accessibility services.

Even if the compiler was available to the public most software doesn’t use it, so the benchmark is still not representative of real world performance.

People can only remember a limited number of passwords without resorting to systems or patterns.

People also don’t have a backup device though.
