Alpha males are like alpha software: unstable, filled with flaws, missing essential features, and not ready for the public.

@soulexpress nodds in agreement

  • EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM!

Like there's a reason I only got a copy of #SubgraphOS as non-public alpha under the precondition to not redistribute and was allowed to preview it because that thing was unstable and had a lot of known issues the devs were working on to get fixed.

  • It's not as if they weren't aware of those, but they also didn't want "#TechIlliterates" using it with a false belief in it being ready to use and trust in.

Not shure how #Subgraph evolved after #grsecurity decided to #paywall access to the #sourcecodes of said #patches and #tools cuz those were used in said distro as a means to harden it.

  • But then again the #grsec devs seem to be so toxic, their entire Wikipedia Article got nuked and only an old archive version exists.

Sadly the #paywalling of #grsec / #grsecurity also killed more #downstream projects like tor-ramdisk which was a minimalist #busybox / #linux #distro designed to host #OnionServices. It was pretty nifty and the #SourceCode is still online and hosted by @torproject on their #gitlab, abeit seemingly abandoned since 2018...

@torproject but then again, #grsec really didn't cooperate and I know why most people didn't bother to even consider them.

OFC @micahflee did already dissect #SubgraphOS back then and AFAICT they did took notes and worked on fixing those things...

And also an artifact of interference by human mismanagement.
@soulexpress I never understood the whole concept of "Machismo" or "Alpha Male" .. it's more like a "pretend" thing than a real one ..
