Aw yeah let's turn Linux desktop into the same miserable nightmare as macOS where you get smart home and airdrop and cloud sync and stocks and weather and all sorts of crap all against your will and you can't get rid of them

Why am I so obsessed with information security people?
Because computers are a f***ing nightmare. And, as I see it, the infosec people are the only ones doing anything to make it slightly less horrible.
Not regulators. Not tech companies. Not the software developers who are constantly adding more "features" (aka even more vulnerabilities). Those groups are all making it worse - or, at best, doing absolutely nothing.
It only makes sense that I would worship the solitary group of "good guys" in the entire fray.

I don't understand how people use rolling anything. I'm still struggling to move away from now 6-year-old software. Do they just not sleep? Is this stuff a hobby of theirs that they do in all their free time anyways? Are they masochists? Are their brains more evolved in some way to adapting to constant changes and disruptions? So many questions.
