Yes, I specified which cover since it's certainly been covered by more people.

So any passionate actor is a bad actor. Which is necessary for wrong information to be disinformation according to your definition.

I will argue that a disinformation campaign could find agents that are able to remain calm and engage in 'polite' debate (via training, scripts and other forms of support, perhaps AI can help write some posts/articles etc). Meanwhile ordinary users are more likely to lose their cool when presented with propaganda even if it is well presented.

I am also going to address you suggesting that I believe most information is "arbitrarily" subjective. I don't. The issue is that of course we cannot actually apply the scientific method in a lot of cases, including news and politics.

For example either the US attacked first or Iran did in the most recent case. How would one apply the scientific method to find out? In a lot of cases there is simply not enough data accessible to people.

Even in science, both physical and especially social ones we have this issue. We don't really do experiments on whole countries etc.

I think you are handwaving away the issue. I am sure you know who the bad actors are and what is disinformation.

For starters we need someone to set what is a good or a bad actor, what is misinformation and what is Truth.

I think it was accepted in systemd. There was no commit in the kernel because such things are really don't belong in the kernel.

But the law it was a response too is horrible. If any 'app', regardless of it including any unsafe content (or content at all really) must ask for this information from the OS. Otherwise the developer and/or controller (which can be whoever installed the app) is liable for thousands of dollars.

This only makes sense if you think the only 'apps' that exist are ones written by FAANG.

Which move are you referring to? Because most of them include far more than that.

Edge is the only Chromium‑based browser I’ve tested that behaves this way. By contrast, Chrome uses a design that makes it far harder for attackers to extract saved passwords by simply reading process memory.

It decrypts credentials only when needed,

It's not the new name but an alternative. I guess it will have to fit where GIMP does, so it's better to have the same amount of letters.

Glimpse is already taken by an abandoned fork that simply changed the name.

ΟΥ in Greek makes sounds like oo as in look,wood etc. It does not lead with a γ sound that would make Uranus sound naughty.

Of course it should also end in -os as -us is a Latin ending.
