Where are these resources and efforts for crimes against regular people?
  • Seems like a confirmation bias

    There are lot of resource and effort put in place for crimes against regular people. Rescue operations and holding justice has come a long way, although it's not perfect. They dont appear in news often because its just regular people.

    Because of attention of media and since it is a significant person who died, there is significant attention give from law enforcement to this case.

    The differnce is just attention and not about resource. We saw more update of this particular situation from media which may have caused a bias of thinking "resources and efforts are little for regular people".

  • what if linux or ubuntu took the android route???
  • Openness of linux would be lost

    Although device drivers are proprietary, linux does its best to limit such proprietry stuff. But in case of android, Google pretty much has a monopoly because a standard build of android isnt enough for use.

    I hate that the spirit of openness is shot on the foot just because of the need of commercialization. I would prefer linux than android.

  • Crashing when posting images

    For some reason when I select images and post it, my app crashes. But not when selecting text and then inserting it in markdown image link like this one below. (Just a test, ignore the meme)

    Is anybody else facing this problem?

    Making a very less privelleged user accounts

    When I started linux, I heard creating seperate user accounts for specific uses only is a good step to security in linux. I haven't tried it but after seeing concerns regarding some game launchers snooping around the os, I am trying to see how hard will it be to not let them. I only know the basics of user creation through GUI.

    I wont be running games by the way, but I want to have this knowledge of user accounts in linux as a linux security enthusiast. I just want to create a user account where only apps or packages will run with no root access or access to outside its home folder. Even installing apps or packages should not require root to install and must be installed in that home folder and not /usr/bin or /lib. Should be like sandbox environment. I have complete control of permisions and processes of the app. Dont say about flatpak or virtual machines, not talking about that here, just plain old linux.

    Note that I am not doing this out of paronoia but as a security enthusiast. I have heard about firejail, SE linux, and WhonixOS but just scratched the surface of it.

    How should I do this? I need some sources to read all about linux user accounts.
