  • It provides a safety net by pooling the resources of the community to support the less fortunate. This prevents people from having to sacrifice their long term goals because their short term needs may not be otherwise met.

    Also in contrast to capitalism that treats society as a zero sum game (“I can’t get ahead unless I take something from someone else”) socialism is a benefit multiplier (“I’m part of the community. By making the life of everyone in the community better I’m also improving my own life”).

    Using containers from public registries is no worse than using third party software. In both cases there’s a risk of malicious code. The big difference is that for containers you can scan the image before running it, SBOMs are becoming ubiquitous so dependency vulnerabilities are easier to detect, and runtime protection software is more effective on containers because each container has a deterministic expected behaviour, making it easier to find deviations. I’d much rather manage runtime controls for containers than craft selinux policies.

    The bottom line (which the OP article misses) is that while individual container configurations require more effort to set up the additional work to manage them at scale is low, whereas compliance for host based installs is requiring more and more effort. In fact given how popular curl | sh ... is becoming for host based installs I’d argue that they are regressing in terms of safety and reproducibility.






  • I believe they’re referring to the character of Jaskier/Dandelion, who in the lore is a womanizing, promiscuous bard. Pretty much the DnD bard player character archetype. It is also pivotal to a number of plot points, because the character’s womanizing habits frequently land him in trouble, making him a “damsel in distress” supporting character. Which in itself works better when the character is straight because it subverts the trope.

    The thing is also that there’s plenty of characters in the story who are or could be made gay without serious repercussions to the plot.
