That doesn't smell good at all. It smells like conflict of interest, it's the kind of initiative, and speech, that we have got too many times already, that ends up to be used to reduce our freedom.

Great, now pottering can decide if your whole system can boot. And if it doesn't, good luck finding out why?

Hopefully no Linux distro I use adopts this tech, I feel this will cause a cybersecurity disaster on Linux instead of bringing security to people in general. As an end user I have no use or desire for what Amutable is wanting to distribute.

On the contrary this sounds awesome from a cybersec perspective. If this is how we can get that work funded - great!

Nice try, fed.

[–] PushButton@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It's not funding anything, that's a private company made by ex-Microsoft employees...

I am just out of words for you.

[–] troed@fedia.io 2 points 5 days ago

.. yeah. That'll pay the salaries for these excellent open source developers, allowing them to work on something that brings benefit to Linux usage in secure environment.

Potter the same lamepotterycrap of systemd? I can feel where this is going.

Don't forget PulseAudio, source of many security-related issues in Flatpak and Snap.

[–] lambalicious@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It's quite telling that a system intended to make apps usable everywhere on Linux, does not use the audio backend that works everywhere on Linux.

[–] Sxan@piefed.zip 1 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Hasn't almost every distro ditched PulseAudio for PipeWire?

[–] lambalicious@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 13 hours ago

I certainly hope so! But still, that's useless for Flatpak if they themselves don't also make the change.
