    this will probably get downvoted to hell but im just gonna say it: minetest is just not as good as minecraft (and tbh i don’t think it ever will be)

    now to be clear im not happy what microsoft is doing lately with minecraft but i really like the older versions of the game (1.7 era) and those are way better than what minetest offers - also minecraft has a larger player base so there are tons of free/open source mods






  • ngn@lemy.loltoLinux@lemmy.mlThoughts on this?

    xorg letting a malicious program to record keys is not a security issue, its a weakness

    having that malicious program on the system, thats the security issue

    if you are implementing a display protocol that aims to replace the xorg, the focus should be compatibility not fixing security weaknesses especially if you dont have any better solutions, and wayland does not have a better solution for global keys, compositors are just implenting it on their own hacky way

    security? I don’t think systemd vulnerabilities are that critical, a vulnerability in systemd will provide a way to privesc at most, which means that the attacker must have initial access to exploit it. And considering that most linux servers are using containerized systems, a direct systemd exploit is not possible in most cases

    also, more people using systemd means more devs working on systemd, so more security issues will be found and patched
