Over the past five days alone, more than 550 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza, according to ministry of health figures. The confirmed death toll since the beginning of the war crossed 59,000 on Monday in what is widely acknowledged to be a vast undercount. Over the past two months, more than 1,000 Palestinians have been killed as they are forced to seek aid in militarized zones in a system mostly overseen by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), a shadowy U.S.- and Israeli-backed group.One of the deadliest days for aid seekers came on Sunday, when over 70 people were killed, at least 67 of them in northern Gaza where Israeli troops opened fire on crowds trying to get food from a World Food Program convoy entering through the Zikim crossing.
“The tank came, surrounded us, and started shooting at us and we kept raising our hands,” Ibrahim Hamada, who was wounded in the leg, told Drop Site as he lay on a hospital gurney wincing in pain. “There were many martyrs, no one was able to retrieve them. I crawled on my stomach just to reach a car to take me to the hospital,” he said. “I went there to eat, because there was no food at home.”

It’s probably wrong to assume that the general public will be sensitive enough to privacy to force companies to compete on that terrain.
But it’s a fascinating topic and I hope to see it in practice at some point.
Can you explain what Homomorphic Data is?
I am interested

My basic understanding is that the concept of homomorphically encrypted data allows for processing of said encrypted data without the need for prior decryption.
Hence, it enables computations and processing on encrypted data (ciphertext) that yield results matching those from the original data (plaintext) without the data needing to be decrypted at any point.
How is this then different from just processing plaintext in protecting privacy?
Phone number is encrypted but this tech still allows telemarketers to call in?
The idea is that you could have your data stored encrypted, such that the entity that is storing your data can't read any of your data, but can still make calculations or updates to your data without ever learning anything about your data.
The use cases seems rather narrow to me, but there are probably many that I just can't think of at the moment.
One idea could be something like a VPN service that wants to store as little data about the customer as possible. They could keep the account balance in an encrypted format. When you then add money to the balance, they can increment your balance by however much you paid, without knowing what your old balance was or what the new balance is. And they could then have another homomorphic function that can check whether your balance is positive. If your balance is positive you are allowed onto the service, if it's not positive you don't get access. And the company wouldn't be able to know whether you had $5 in your account or $5000, just that your balance is currently positive.
So yeah fundamentally it's just being able to store and update some data, while the data is fully encrypted, never decrypting the data, to ensure some form of privacy or confidentiality
DOGE starts typing...
Homo??? 🧐😡
Why would any company use this in the first place?
The general public is not going to pay a subscription (ew another subscription?) they’re just going to use the free services. “I already pay for internet”
There is no reason for anyone to use this, as amazing as it is. That ship sailed long ago and the moment an MBA gets wind of what this’ll mean for the data broker industry, it will be lobbied into illegality, at least here in the US.
I don't believe this will work? I would have to see an actually working example though. With actual data, not matrix vector multiplications those are trivial.
Doing math on garbled numbers and then reverse garbling it? Easy. Doing text parsing on garbled text? Probably impossible, but I'd loveto be proven wrong. I also think you have to reveal what kind of functions you want used?
The homomorphism in category theory is often shown by a commutative diagram, where you can go from a point to another by interchanging the order of operations. In the below diagram for FHE, you can go from (a, b) to E(a*b) in two separate ways.
Even in math this doesn't work for all problems.
It works in the sense that the operations are performed on binary numbers, so text handling works the same way it normally does assuming the handler function is encrypted to match. Once you have multiplication and addition, you can make logic gates and general computing follows from there - although with the noise being amplified thru each logic gate, the more complex the functions the more bootstrapping is required and the less I see this being doable in the short term.
For a working example, check out apple’s homomorphic encryption page, they use it for landmark identification and afaik will be using it for siri whenever they get to that update. It’s slow but it’s already usable - I’m not personally convinced it’ll be used everywhere, but the technology is super cool and I hope it shows up more
assuming the handler function is encrypted to match.
Yeah, this is the thing I'm doubting / don't understand how that would work.
E.g. A* / navigation problems.
You send private start and goal points.
Either the stuff is truly private, then the program can't read it.
Or the program can read it, but then the owner of the machine the program runs on can just read it from memory.
It doesn't matter if it says "45124x5234234fgasdgf" or "Paris", because the program state will identify that. Even if you encrypt the entire location database (with stuff that's then fully known to the server) and it will still look up "45124x5234234fgasdgf" and the server can trivially decrypt that.
check out apple’s homomorphic encryption page
Interesting, but I'm more leaning on "they have a vested interest to lie about this" rather than "surely this is correctly working tech that keeps me safe". Like Amazons "AI supermarket" that was just a bunch of indians doing video surveillance.
And their explanation makes the same amount of sense as the blog post. I have no doubt that it can work for simple commutative math operations, over "smooth" domains. Where my doubt comes in is functions where the encryption would cause the operation to take place outside of the domain bounds.
How does an encrypted asin or acos work?
Anyway, thanks for the answer, I was recently impressed by GNU Taler, which also did something cryptographic stuff I didn't think was possible. So I'm not saying this is heresy and can't be done and trying to say it will work is forbidden, I just don't think the explanations so far are detailed enough.
The process as explained in this article has nothing to do with privacy. The problem with privacy is not that I send Google a query, it's they Google is scanning my machine, gathering cookie data, recording every move I make, mixing and matching my data with data from other sites, data from data brokers, also using third party cookies, etc etc etc...
Encrypting the query I make with Google isn't going to change much of that.

Anything less than sanctions and total economic boycott is a stalling tactic aimed at allowing the genocide to finish.
This is no different from if the police show up to a drug house, and one of the residents stands in the doorway opining about how horrible it is that drugs were discovered at their home and how morally bankrupt the illicit drug trade is, in order for their buddy to finish flushing their stash.

VS Achuthanandan, politician who pushed for Linux adoption in India, passed away today
India has one of the highest rates of (desktop) Linux usages in the world - hovering around 10% according to StatCounter. Why is this? One reason is concerns over software controlled by foreign countries - particularly the US and China. But another is cost.
The first major boost for Linux and other free software in India came in 2006, when VS Achuthanandan - who passed away today - was elected Chief Minister of the state of Kerala. His government came up with a policy to shift all government computers to free software, starting with schools and colleges.
When the financial benefits became apparent, other states and the Union government followed suit.

EA daily is among laziest, most obvious russian propaganda channels. Full stop. Whatever you're getting paid to stink up this thread with your propganda, please for your sake, insist on hard foreign currency payments.
Your continuous stream of thread of "uS emPiRe FaiLliNg, rUzZiA $tRoNk!!" variants is admirable for dedication, but could use a little balance and subtlety if you expect actual humans to be influenced by them.
Instant aggressive whataboutism response from a two month old burner account that posts pro-russia slop several times a day! you're a moderatly well programmed bot.
Wailing about the 'empire's propaganda machine' while literally trumpeting Russian talking points with shameless aplomb. <chef's kiss>. Spectacular stuff.
That's okay. Your stream is a constant barrage of propaganda jumping from Kremlin-aligned and China friendly talking points, from "AOC IS A FRAUD", Israel is committing genocide, Zelensky is a fascist. Generalized complaints about Western propaganda, complaining about NATO expansion, celebrating Chinese achievements in high speed rail. Quick scan of your history, this one jumps out re: US sending weapons to Ukraine: "I don’t care. Whatever ends up weakening the US. I’m tired of it turning my region into a shooting range.".
Let's dissect this one for a second - the mental gymnastics to get around this are truly Olympic caliber - complaining about external forces turning your region into a shooting gallery, given that Russia and Iran have funded Hezbollah, Hamas, PLO, Assad's Syria, general terrorist activity and frequent direct military intervention for the last 75 years, and yet implying all blame rests with the U.S. and none with the corrosive, mischievous death cult of Russia and Iran - Spectactular stuff.
So - think whatever you want. It's cool - ths is social media, and you have picked your side, loud and clear. West Bad, Ukraine Bad. Got it. Yawn. Although if you are actually a human being, rather than a paid spammer or bot - it begs the question why you would waste your time picking fights on a Ukraine-sympathetic themed thread.

You know what causes more harm than Democrats? People not voting for them because they're not far enough to the left, and therefore moving the entire country to the right.
What teaches the Dems to move to the right is that those on the right actually get votes.
Correct. What caused the Democrats to move right over the last 40 years were the retirees who continuously voted for centrist conservatives in primaries. They’re the only ones who always show up, hence the <15% congressional primary attendance.
Mamdani got the NYC primary up to a record 30%. That’s all it takes for us the move the Overton Window back to the left.

Because the corporate Dems are scared when people actually show up to vote in the primary. That's why we need to keep doing it to replace the Democratic leadership.
Why are you trying so hard to keep people from doing that? Are you an idiot, or are you a troll and actually want things to stay as they are?
What kind of fucked up, Stockholm syndrome shit is this? Keep giving more money and more power to the organization that resents your participation in the process?

All meaningful positive change in the US happened outside of the theatre piece of electoral politics. These include:
- Socialist armies like vietnam's bringing the US to heel ended the US draft.
- Large numbers of people protesting internally, brought the end of the vietnam war, rights for workers like the 8 hour day, women's rights, etc. The US has one of the bloodiest labor histories of any country, and unfortunately the US state did defeat it, but all of the gains for US workers come from this historical period of anti-capitalist organization.
US electoralism is a distracting theatre piece, where both sides act as capitalist puppets. All positive change comes in spite of that system, when ppl start organizing outside of it.
Because it accomplishes nothing. It's not good strategy to play a rigged game, where acheivements were only made when people refused to play it, and went around it.
You've given me no reason to play your rigged game.
Whenever I come across one of these lemmy.ml posts where this general topic of leftists shitting on western libs comes up, it always makes me curious.
I understand what y'all hate. I regularly hear what doesn't work (voting). But I never hear a concise, specific, tactical thing that I as an individual could do.
Sometimes I'll see very generic notes about how "nothing's ever going to change until a unified, violent, upheaval happens", but that's about the closest I've ever seen.
So please. Indulge me. I'm a US lefty lib. What should I be doing if I want to help leftist causes (pro-labor / break up corporations / etc).
Because I swear to gods. According to folks here:
- voting? Doesn't work
- donating? You'll never outspend
- grass roots whatever? They'll stomp you out
- acts of coordinated violence? We'd never say that explicitly
What then? I hate the current trajectory of my country and feel helpless to change anything with the tools I have at hand. Give me one practical thing I can do to help unfuck this mess.
(And to the FBI listening in. I'd never do anything illegal based on advice of Internet strangers. I just wanna hear them say, out loud, what I think they _really want to say_)
No, the DSA doesn't have a better strategy. PSL gets more done per member, and actually has the cohesion to get things done. PSL is at the forefront of the ongoing protests against Trump, Israel, etc right now.
Maybe if Red Star Caucus became the only caucus in the DSA, they'd finally develop the cohesion necessary to wield its size properly. It's certainly better to join an org than not, but if there's both a PSL chapter and DSA in your area, you'd be far better off with PSL.
PSL's primary advantage is that it's a revolutionary party that doesn't shy away from participating in elections. It isn't focused on electoralism as the only strategy. The Democrats are a party of capital, they cannot be truly taken over.
Typical all or nothing response. Let’s forget the 535 members of Congress have primaries every 2-4 years so we can complain that ‘it was either Fetterman or Dr. Oz’ when Fetterman beat three primary contenders, two of whom were progressive, in a primary that saw <9% turnout.
If you think abstaining is the solution, why has it only made things worse for the last 40 years?

Just because some of the things in western media about NK are lies doesn't mean that they are all lies and NK is actually a democracy or a good place to live.
Read their newspapers you will never see them talk badly about their leaders the way they talk about them is creepy and cult like.
If they were a free country they wouldn't try to stop their citizens from leaving.
If they were a democracy they wouldn't have hereditary leadership like a monarchy.
I'm not going to support a monarchy just because they call themselves socialist.
Tankies keep making the mistake of assuming just because something opposes the west that it is a good thing and that anything you've ever heard about it is all lies. You guys are just choosing your preferred countries propaganda over the western propaganda you just want to lick a different boot.
It’s entirely possible to be a communist while also believing that NK is a shitty country.
You have missed the point entirely, NK isnt a "shitty country" because that is just a false narrative put forth by the empire's massive media manipulation/propaganda anti-communist machine.
It's generally seen as a submissive act to do it to someone else. There's nothing inherently wrong with it, just like there's nothing inherently wrong with wanting to lick your partner's feet. However performing a submissive act of that nature on someone who doesn't deserve it is questionable and kinda sad.
Inb4 "ur homophobic"
A) I'm not taking an accusation like that from someone who's username is mathemachristian
B) I literally told my girlfriend the other day that when I visit her I'm going to suck her dick so hard she'll think she had bottom surgery. IDK what the fuck that was supposed to mean, but she liked it.
Edit: I've seen people try to set that trap before. It's a cheap way to "gotcha" someone and is usually used to try and accuse them of being homophobic (something about sucking dick being something only gay men do, which isn't even remotely true lol). I see people resort to stuff like that when they don't have anything of more substance. It also ignores that the potential that the user themselves is gay.
Yes.
Please.
Tell me how I, a transbian, am homophobic.
Edit 2: apparently people thought I was saying "you don't have to suck their dick just because they're questionably communist" was supposed to be an insult? No, it's not the act itself lmao. I've sucked cock and I've been told I'm very good at it, and that's not something I shy away from. Nor is there anything wrong with being a sub. I'm a really subby furry ffs. No, it's the idea that someone would suck an authoritarian's dick is what I find issue with. It's not the what, it's the who. Just like I'd be very concerned if you were sucking off Trump; however if you said you wanted to suck off some widely loved political figure or celebrity then I'd be all for it.
This clarification feels tedious but apparently necessary: a political attack made in public.
I wonder if you'd defend the f-slur as not being homophobic because some gay friends of mine might use it subversively. That is not in the context you were asked for an example.
You're wrong and your argument was so stupid that there's no defending it. That's why you're play acting a fool and avoiding the criticism of it.
If it's not homophobic to attack a politician being insufficiently bloodthirsty towards another country, why do you never see this attack deployed against women in the same way?
Answer or don't. But please fuck off if you don't.
It's generally seen as a submissive act to do it to someone else.
Yes we already know that societally it's employed as a homophobic and highly sexualized demeaning slur. Everything you wrote after is just apologizing for your use of it.
I just meant "quit pleasuring an authoritarian shithead".
Are you trying to tell me that you thought I was saying that sucking dick is inherently a bad thing? I'm a fucking furry. Are you actually serious right now? It's not the act, it's who you're doing it to, ffs.
What irks me about sexual insults is that they require sex to be seen as shameful in order to work. If you understand sex as nothing more than a personal matter between adults, without any ‘special’ significance, then the insult can only be annoying in an unintended way.
I understand that it is supposed to be a crude metaphor for getting a point across, but it is really lazy rhetoric and only feeds into Northern culture’s need to stigmatize sex as shameful or shocking.
performing a submissive act of that nature on someone who doesn’t deserve it is questionable and kinda sad.
Even if that were the case here, it would be nobody else’s business, just like Mossy Feathers’s sexual relations with her lover aren’t—or at least shouldn’t have been—any of our concern. This is exactly the sort of unsophisticated thinking that I would expect from somebody who uses sexual insults.
What irks me about sexual insults is that they require sex to be seen as shameful in order to work.
Spot-on. It requires sex to be negative. Those who use sexual insults often confuse destigmatizing sex in general with taking a sex-positive stance, just because you use sex in conversation doesn't get rid of the regressive overtones.
You know what it wouldn't have ended up as? What we have now.
What's the death toll at currently for innocent people?
I wish more of my fellow Americans understood this. There has yet to have been a usurper to Trump's power for a reason, and that reason is that every offered "replacement" for him has a shred of humanity, and humans are things that consider others' reactions because it has implications for their power.
Trump has no humanity, and no such consideration of others at all. There is Trump and only Trump, and the cruelty happens breathlessly. The effortless cruelty is what MAGA likes. Anyone who even so much as flinches in the face of the cruelty that his crowd craves means that the wolves will erupt in a frenzy and consume each other.
It has flamed out a couple dozen "contenders", and it will continue as long as Trump is alive (and, perhaps, as long as Don Jr is still alive).
It's not nonsense. It's human nature. People are, in general, not different than their tribal ancestors from 300,000 years ago.
The forces that create the environment for a Hitler to come to power are different than the personality cult that develops after the person is in power.
It’s human nature
When ever you see this, is guaranteed that whatever follows is baseless pseudoscience.
You setup the strawman that I claimed it was Great man theory.
I specifically stated it wasn't Great Man throry but you continue the strawman because you have no argument.
A cult leader isn't a Great Man as described by Carlyle.
You setup the strawman that I claimed it was Great man theory.
No, what I said is that it is Great Man Theory. And it is.
But I'm putting that all to the side, I want to see the sources for your scientific claims before anything else.
I specifically said the forces that result in a Hitler aren't the same as the cult that developed after the fact.
You want me to prove a negative.
As to the evolutionary basis of tribalism, I guess you don't know how to Google "evolutionary basis of tribalism" so here are some links:

tribalism
Literally no one mentioned tribalism before this, please no Motte-and-Bailly arguments, I want to see the biology papers for the specific claim you made.
I did. You wanted me to prove that great man theory was evolutionary Tribalism which I not only didn't say but specifically refuted.
What the fuck is your problem? You aren't happy being right in an argument.
Withdraw what? You confused Tribal leadership with Great Man theory.
Prove that Tribal leadership has no evolutionary basis or withdraw your claim.
I said this:
"The forces that create the environment for a Hitler to come to power are different than the personality cult that develops after the person is in power."
Which is literally Herbert Spencer’s critique of Great Man theory!
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_ma…
I also claimed that tribalism has evolutionary roots. You need a source for that?
I also claimed that tribalism has evolutionary roots.
No, you didn't. You claimed that MAGA will die with trump because evolutionary biology. Source that claim
1st link is about 4 different types of tribe structures
2nd is about leadership and its relation to tribes
3rd link literally runs counter to your initial point about trump cults being a result of human nature, it actually fucking argues that a society is shaped by material conditions but without using the term "material conditions":
By the same logic, "Trump cultists", as you refer to them, do not stray far from your average liberal because it's also within the liberals' human nature to be apathetic towards brown kids, women and unarmed men across the planet to explode into pieces, not because trump supporters and liberals that don't like trump optics have a vested interest in maintaining status quo..
See how ridiculous that sounds?
Nobody fucking argues this way because human nature isn't something that's scientifically grounded, but rather it's a metaphysical expression of our being weaponized by libs like you.
If you're going to roleplay being an intellectual, at least do a better act of reading the stuff that you cite in relation to the points you make, otherwise @BrainInABox@lemmy.ml might bite 👻.
within the liberals' human nature to be apathetic towards brown kids,
People aren't robots made to exact specifications in a factory. There are both evolutionary and environmental factors that affect human behavior. Among a population there will be different genetics and different environments (which includes social factors).
The link you highlighted doesn't refute my position that Tribalism was created through evolutionary pressure. Your highlighted text supports the claim.
Your premise that people are wonderful caring humans is false. The majority voted for Trump. Explain it to me.
Don't weasel your way out and change the subject.
This is your position and this is what I was addressing:
Trump is a cult that dies with him.
This is your justification to that position:
It’s human nature. People are, in general, not different than their tribal ancestors from 300,000 years ago
You are suggesting that we as humans are hardwired to support the most popular individual and that anything eventful that happens is attributed to that one single individual (this is what Great Man Theory is), simply because as a result of evolution and somehow that's compared to tribes that lived 300,000 years ago, when hunting and gathering and grouping up was a necessity to ensure higher chances of survival. None of the links you provided back up that point, the hill you wish to die on, neither does your justification make any sense. I explained that these links only serve to describe and analyze tribes, not prove the Great Man Theory.
But you know what is a death cult?
Liberalism. And you're part of it, engaged in it, succumbed to it and running cheerleader for it, because it serves to benefit you, Trump, Biden, Bernie, Rubio, Team Blue, Team Red, the full works.
Human nature, again, is also not scientifically grounded. Any argument mentioning human nature necessitates an actual scientific study on human nature itself, lucky for you, there's no such a thing. Here's another video explaining why it's a thought-terminating cliche.
I don't take it you're a reading type because obviously you did not read any of the sources you linked, otherwise you'd know that none of these actually say anything about human nature in relation to cults or tribes or whatever, so watch these from start to finish, you'd stand to actually learn something, lib

STOP STRAWMANING.
y position that Tribalism was created through evolutionary pressure.
That was not your position, stop lying
That’s like saying no one should have killed Hitler.
You replied:
"Pure Great Man nonsense."
It's a non sequitur!
I didn't even suggest that Trump was a leader who got to power because of his abilities.
I then said this for clarification:
The forces that create the environment for a Hitler to come to power are different than the personality cult that develops after the person is in power.
Which is literally Herbert Spencer's critique of Great Man theory!
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_ma…
Yet you keep arguing!
I'm not sure why you are trying so hard to deflect any criticism of Trump into a societal problem. Trump isn't blameless. He has agency.
What you said is:
Trump is a cult that dies with him.
And you justified it by claiming it's "evolutionary biology". Substantiate that claim.
Evolutionary basis of cults:
csuepress.columbusstate.edu/co…
Source that cults fail after their leader dies:
The People's Temple (Jonestown)
Heaven's Gate
The Branch Davidians
Children of God
Order of the Solar Temple
Aum Shinrikyo
Modern Cults that survived their leader's death:
Mormons and Scientology.
Those are literal cults, not cults of personality. Trump supporters aren't living with him in a compound, genius.
And that paper isn't about evolutionary biology anyway, stop just linking whatever and hoping no-one checks
Cults aren't defined by people living in a compound.
And that paper isn’t about evolutionary biology
The paper referenced evolutionary reasons for cults.
You threw out the term Great Man theory without even understanding it.
I've refuted every single argument with sources and you keep arguing.
I stated the fact with sources: Cults have an evolutionary basis
I stated the fact with sources: Cults tend to die when the leader dies.
You have nothing in reply.
I believe you push Great Man Theory into arguments even when it doesn't apply to absolve Trump of any responsibility.
You keep claiming bad faith when I addressed your arguments directly.
I think outing a Trump apologist is useful.
Evolutionary justification for cults:
csuepress.columbusstate.edu/cg…
Cults tend to die with their leaders. I've listed many of the cults that died in this thread. Cults surviving the death of their leader is the exception.
You seriously believe that wasn’t staged? That patsy’s second to his last thought was about how he’d spend all the money he was promised….

Please, FOSS world, we need something like ChromeOS
I think at least part of the problem has been the built in expiry date, and the fact that so many off brand Chromebooks are absolute shit. They have tiny screens and low specs, and struggle with multiple web pages open.
I fancied one myself to take out and about, as I do most of my work on my PC, but they all seemed to have under 13 inch screens, and a five year shelf life. I like to research my family tree, so have a few tabs open, but the lack of memory would kill them and make it painful to do.
Is ChromeOS even that successful?
I think this probably makes sense from within your "bubble", that of being the sort of technical user that's on a Linux forum on the internet. Chromebooks are incredibly popular in education, and ChromeOS has held a marketshare of 5-8% over the last few years, only dipping to 2.5% in the last six months.
Linux already will run on a literal brick, we just need an OS that is web-first and locked down for high school kids in a way where educational institutions will want to buy it in bulk. As for device, we really need something built to be a modern netbook. The Framework 12 could have been that, but it starts at $1244 in fully base spec with an i3-1315U, no Windows license and DIY. What we need is a Framework 10 without expansion cards, without a digitiser/touch, running the barebones Intel N100 4c/4t, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD. Make it as repairable but single SKU and pre-built. Partner with someone like Universal Blue for the OS, who they already have as an official partner for other devices with Bazzite. It also needs to be sub-$600 to compete.
By the way, ChromeOS being folded into Android isn't a negative reflection on it. Google are trying to mimic Samsung DeX with their Pixel devices and it just isn't a smart business decision to develop two parallel desktop experiences when ChromeOS already runs on the Android kernel anyway. Android also has more brand recognition, and overall it will probably encourage developers to make proper desktop kb+m versions of their apps (which can exist in the same apk). A way for Linux to compete there would be strong system integration of Waydroid but that's probably mostly a "bonus feature" if they manage to succeed with everything else.
I read the article and it just sounds like they're praising ChromeOS for being web browser centric. Need office, open Google docs/drive. Pretty much a Linux distro but by default come with a bunch of progressive web apps installed for common applications?
Consumer expectations. On Linux you can just use the web browser just like most people already do on ChromeOS and I assume windows and mac's. But on regular Linux, Mac, and Windows people expect more. So I guess a distro that brands itself and markets to users to just use the web browser for everything and maybe a store of progressive web apps/preinstalled ones
Also out of the box support. ChromeOS is Google backed. Laptop makers sell mainstream ChromeOS boxes. Linux doesn't have major mainstream device support. It'd be far less fussy if hardware vendors were releasing plenty of Linux out the box hardware. Right now it's some workstation centric hardware from Lenovo and Dell and smaller companies like System76
On that note I'd place my hopes with System76 since they're currently focused on consumer experience. Cosmic DE is still not prime-time ready but maybe a couple more years. 26.04 release use as the default for their new hardware and it still effectively be early adopter phase for Cosmic DE. Then 28.04 ready for primetime. Keep trying to break into being a mainstream hardware brand. Other is what happens with KDE Plasma with Valve and SteamOS, Plasma Mobile, and maybe the TV interface. A bunch of consumer centric use cases driving development in KDE land. Maybe they'll come up with a way to get flatpak permissions work in a way that alerts users on need and makes it easy to do like on Android/iOS
Because arch btw 🙄
I think an immutable distro like Bazzite's cousins Aurora (KDE) and Bluefin (GNOME) would be far more appropriate. Combined with automatic rollback (if the system fails to boot, rollback to previous version) and it'd be practically bulletproof in education.
In reality, what Chromebooks provide is a reinvention of the good old mainframe and terminal principle. In theory (like my recent - half joking - 9front comment) this is something that would be really easy to set up with nearly all Linux systems and especially immutable ones.
My take would be:
Put an sign up / sign in form as a "first boot" message in a distribution of your choice where you can specify (or have pre-filled by an organisation) a central server (could be something fancy like Nextcloud or something simple rsync based) where your whole profile folder gets synced to. After that: If anything goes kaputt just roll back the sync. Or "powerwasch" (to keep the ChromeOS terminology) the system to a clean state and re-sync your home folder.
In theory something that could all be implemented with a little scripting in an afternoon.
The End of Windows 10 is looming. The world needs a simpler, easy, quick, snackable alternative
OpenBSD exists.
That said, this article remains true.
Personal Reflections On Immutable Linux
Immutable distributions are slowly spreading across the Linux world– but should you care? Are they hacker friendly? What does “immutable” mean, anyway? Immutable means “not …Hackaday
Is it difficult to break
Well, it won't forbid you rm -rf /. But generally, it is very reliable.
Is it easy to install software?
Yes, and there is quite a huge selection available from the official repositories (and you can compile most software "missing" there yourself).
Does it include support for a variety of hardware OOTB?
It depends on the hardware, but generally speaking, OpenBSD supports a nice amount of platforms and tries to keep "old" hardware alive as long as possible (for example, VAX support was dropped in 2016, which was quite some time after they were en vogue). What isn't supported, however, is Bluetooth which was removed in OpenBSD 5.6 unless you use a dongle.
you can compile most software "missing" there yourself
That's already very inappropriate for non-technical users.
What isn't supported, however, is Bluetooth
Also not appropriate. Bluetooth has been sold for decades now as an "it just works" solution to ad-hoc wireless peripherals like headphones and computer mice. Non-technical users need something that works OOTB with their existing devices.
That’s already very inappropriate for non-technical users.
There is no operating system in existence that provides every single software you could imagine as a precompiled package for your platform right out of the box.
Also not appropriate.
You do have a point here. I, personally, don't have a Bluetooth device at home, so YMMV, I guess.

You're being downvoted, but you're right.
People want something simple. Something that just runs the basics and automatically backs up online and invisibly.
The vast majority of people don't need to have the choice of 17 different browsers, or 43 office suites, and they certainly don't need the terminal or Powershell, or anything else. They just need a browser and a way to maybe write a letter and view photos. Maybe a way for the kids to do their homework. If their laptop spontaneously combusts, they want to be able to sign into a new one and have everything put back as it was automatically.
ChromeOS is perfect for them, apart from being a Google product. It's something we tend to miss because we're technically minded, but most people don't care about computers, and don't want what we want. They want an appliance. If someone created that system with privacy built in, it could be great 😀
People have lives ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It's awesome that us tech-minded nerds can get under the hood, mess with it and customise to our preferences. We can then make it simple and easy for the folks that just need a computer.
If we want Linux to succeed more broadly, than it needs to be accessible to everyone.
We really should have a FirefoxOS equivalent. Frankly, there’s little reason not to do this. The only thing really missing is Firefox support for PWAs.
I’d imagine a Debian based OS, with cage first showing a first-time-setup thing, then going to simper web first DE. You still need a panel at the bottom for managing multiple windows and the system tray and wifi and a desktop and start menu for pinned apps. Storage doesn’t even need to be local, it could just point to something in the cloud that you have execute commands on your behalf.
This is the ideal for tons of simple, lightweight users and there are a LOT of them.
Windows isn't immutable either. And i had a lot of issues with Kinoite. Some flatpaks need workarounds, everything starts only after a second, can't really remove that one annoying software and too much rpm-ostree installs slows updates to a crawl, etc. Then you look into Universalblue's build-your-custom-image and see the bazillion steps and dependencies and walk away.
Now i look into plain old Fedora as a Windows 10 alternative for my mom.
Check out Blue Build for building custom Fedora Atomic images.
You create a GitHub repo using their helper website and use yaml.
They even have some useful modules specific to desktops (that would have been a huge pain to do in Dockerfiles)

From my understanding of the article the author has noting against js, just how it affects the development process and architecture choices.
Oh yeah, it's totally JavaScript that's the reason that news and magazine websites suck. It's totally not the financial incentives of advertising that cause them to only care about the user experience so far as they get clicks. This totally wouldn't have been the exact same result if new media did everything on the backend and underfunded their backend dev teams. /S
