    Sadly security gets accepted only in its worse-than-nothing forms by the masses. I suspect the only reason it gets accepted at all is because the average normie wants to do something exactly not in the same way as those annoying nerds and asocial types who are not on Facebook\Twitter\whatever recommend.

    That’s like Apple-style innovations.

    First something really exists and is really cool under Linux\FreeBSD\etc in environments for X11. Normies say “get off me with this haxor shit, heresy, my honor is called Apple loyalty, MS above all”.

    Then Apple stuffs some shiny cut down unusable variant of the same into their GUI. Normies say “ow, how innovative, shut up and take my money”.

    Then MS stuffs something scary as shit, buggy and ugly, remotely reminiscent of the same feature. Normies say “look how good Windows NN has become, what, which year of Linux desktop it is again, sure you don’t have anything as good”.

    That doesn’t belong here and I’m a bit butthurt, but I won’t delete it after typing it.
