  • Thanks for sharing this, it’s an intersting look at the inner workings of kernel development security-trust model.

    I’ve seen a lot of stuff being about Linus in the kernel-related stuff, so I have one question: are they really as central as they seem - and we’re all gonna weep blood when they’re not here any more for any reason - or are they a figurehead (due to being the creator and still being very involved) in a sea of equally involved developpers/maintainers/contributors - and should something happen to them, the kernel would continue going in the same direction?

    My anarchist ass obviously hopes for the second option 🤞

    Other options on mobile:

    • using a firefow-based browser (like Fennec on F-droid) on which you can install Ublock Origin
    • also on the F-droid store, newpipe handles youtube shit gracefully

    For anyone not in the know, F-droid is an alternative app store for android where all applications are opensource, verified and don’t track you.
    You can download it from their website (be warned: android is likely to ask you a half a dozen times if you’re sure you want to download, install and give it permissions), install it and explore a great new world :)
