    Are there any good news even lately. Every day I wake up to a new CVE, the list of things in the post title isn’t encouraging either.

      CVEs mean the issues are getting found and fixed instead of sitting on a three letter agency arsenal.

      and all the end-user has to do is update.

      Serbia recently democratically ousted their fascist leadership and are in the process of replacing it with people from a curated list of teachers and professionals that students have spent the last few years compiling via open democratic debate.

      There’s something interesting, if not encouraging:

      AlpineBSD is an operating system based on the NetBSD kernel with a userspace inspired by Alpine Linux and the objective to use as little AI-generated software as possible.

      There are good news too, but those doesn’t NEED to be told to everyone. A CVE is very important to get it out as fast and to many possible. But if something good happens, it doesn’t have the urgency and need to reach everyone in short possible time. Plus bad news are for most people more interesting and get you clicks too, just to add to the fuel. And Ai doesn’t help with that either.

      Therefore its only natural that we see more bad news than good news.

            You have either been living under a rock for years, or you are deliberately delusional.

              You are either lying or hanging out in weird places but sure let’s make it a character flaw of mine

          Sorry, I missed the “/s” (which stands for sarcasm) in your original reply. I wasn’t being toxic in anyway, just wanted clarify that Proton wasn’t an Ai company before the recent forced Ai usage, because it looked like you wouldn’t know what you talking about.
