Linux-related discussion as a cybersecurity threat

7 hónap 2 hét óta
The DistroWatch January 27 edition includes this interesting tidbit:

Starting on January 19, 2025 Facebook's internal policy makers decided that Linux is malware and labeled groups associated with Linux as being "cybersecurity threats". Any posts mentioning DistroWatch and multiple groups associated with Linux and Linux discussions have either been shut down or had many of their posts removed.

We've been hearing all week from readers who say they can no longer post about Linux on Facebook or share links to DistroWatch. Some people have reported their accounts have been locked or limited for posting about Linux.

One can only hope that this is a mistake that will be resolved soon.

Update: Meta has seemingly fixed the problem. It is sad, though, that nothing happened until a large, net-wide fuss forced the issue.

[$] Vendoring Go packages by default in Fedora

7 hónap 2 hét óta

The Go language is designed to make it easy for developers to import other Go packages and compile everything into a static binary for simple distribution. Unfortunately, this complicates things for those who package Go programs for Linux distributions, such as Fedora, that have guidelines which require dependencies to be packaged separately. Fedora's Go special interest group (SIG) is asking for relief and a loosening of the bundling guidelines to allow Go packagers to bundle dependencies into the packages that need them, otherwise known as vendoring. So far, the participants in the discussion have seemed largely in favor of the idea.
