So, Microsoft is silently installing Copilot onto Windows Server 2022 systems and this is a disaster.
How can you push a tool that siphons data to a third party onto a security-critical system?
What privileges does it have upon install? Who thought this is a good idea? And most importantly, who needs this?

Went to their site to see the pitch. “avoiding unnecessary entanglements” lmao this fuckin distro is trying to prevent WWI
We just saw an attempted hack from having the xz library loaded into OpenSSH via libsystemd. Linux kernel and glibc are large enough without adding yet another thing that’s contrary to the Unix philosophy.
I still have systemd on my distro because that isn’t my top priority. I respect the efforts of everyone trying to keep it out and wish them success. Same with every distro trying to use musl.
I completely agree, but I do find the anti-systemd crowd to be more annoying than helpful in most contexts.
IDK. Yeah it’s somehow a controversial topic. I understand how people get heated because from my position it should be obvious. But I must think the convenience somewhat outweighs the downsides if I am still using it myself, so it’d be hypocritical of me to take an aggressive tone about it.
I use systemd on my daily driver. But I can still have Alpine or Void or others in VMs and on servers, I’m grateful those projects are making the choice to not require it.
