News about the USA makes me so incredibly sad and anxious currently.

I hope the world won't go to shit and people will eventually see reason again.

Linux users when you use Windows: 😡

Linux users when you use Linux: 😡

See an example here:

Microsoft said both issues could allow attackers to execute code with elevated privileges, although there are currently no indications on how they are being exploited and how widespread these efforts may be. In the case of CVE-2025-24990, the company said it's planning to remove the driver entirely, rather than issue a patch for a legacy third-party component.

The security defect has been described as "dangerous" by Alex Vovk, CEO and co-founder of Action1, as it's rooted within legacy code installed by default on all Windows systems, irrespective of whether the associated hardware is present or in use.

New attack vectors are found constantly. Having no support can very likely result in a system that can be automatically breached in a few weeks to months.

As long as you don't have a public IP on your device and are in a trusted network you should be fine. But if you use a public wifi or somehow expose a port to the internet you're increasingly vulnerable for each day after the last security update.

Anyone having a screen reader read the alt text is going to have a quacking stroke.

Recently I tried to get some advice from some locals and posted in a larger subreddit.

Post got immediately removed because it's a duplicate of a year old post which is only remotely related.

That place can be so stupid.

After a particularly tough week I can't thank you enough for posting this.

Gave me back a bit of energy.

I mean. I like compiling stuff myself but when I have to update 100 tools and all are source code to be compiled, then I can't use my pc for a whole day or so.

I'm on vacation in the US atm and traffic is wild.

The worst drivers in Europe would be better than the best drivers here.

Everyone is constantly going 10-20 mph over the speed limit. You constantly get cut off and sometimes even pushed out of your lane. You can have your blinker on all you want, no one is ever letting you merge unlees you force your way in and yadda yadda yadda.

In the >6000 miles I've driven now I have seen one automated speed camera. There is a larger police presence than in the EU but they don't seem much interested in enforcing traffic laws.

To any US citizen reading this: This is not meant to be rude, but you guys could have it way better and way more safe than it is currently.
