Oh dear, had to pay a million dollar fine... What's this, a million dollar bonus? How did that happen?
That is some serious "capitalism can solve anything and therefore will, if only we let it"-type brain rot.
This "solution" relies on so many assumptions that don't even begin to hold water.
Of course any utopian framework for society could deal with every conceivable problem... But in practice they don't, and always require intentional regulation to a greater or lesser extent in order to prevent harm, because humans are humans.
This particular potential problem is almost certainly not the kind that simply "solves itself" if you let it.
And IMO suggesting otherwise is an irresponsible perpetuation of the kind of thinking that has led human civilization to the current reality of millions starving in the next few decades, due to the predictable environmental destruction of arable land in the near future.
Depends on the malware.
With total access, nothing would prevent the malicious code from modifying the task viewer itself to make it ignore the resources it is using.
Accounting for every way malware might be discovered is difficult, but with enough system access, it's all possible.
it's like a no-fly list, but for being alive

Even if someone did steal a mars-bar... Banning them from all food-selling establishments seems... Disproportional.
Like if you steal out of necessity, and get caught once, you then just starve?
Obviously not all grocers/chains/restaurants are that networked yet, but are we gonna get to a point where hungry people are turned away at every business that provides food, once they are on "the list"?
Because they only work on one distro/package manager.
Distributing software is simply transitioning to work in a distro-agnostic way. It's only a matter of time until distros start updating flatpaks along with system packages. Many already do.
And some apps distributed as appimages self-update. (RPCS3 for example)
Not to mention that Ubuntu itself has basically ditched apt for snap.
The idea of using lutris as a launcher is appalling to me. I have a library of thousands of games, the thought of setting them all up in lutris, is anxiety inducing. Its library management and browsing features, do not exist.
Bottles seems more aimed at software.
It is not. Though it can still do that, too.
I've not found a single thing only lutris could do. It's a single app that tries to do everything, but IMO the result is that it does none of it well. Least of all function as an attractive and functional everyday way to access my games library.
Bottles gets my game installed and running, and then added to steam, which actually does have tags and categories, as well as various other management tools, as well as a good-looking UI.
Why?
Bottles can add executables to steam, same as lutris, and configuring games in lutris is supposed to be easy, but that's never really been my experience.
If I'm going to have to fiddle with wine versions and prefixes, I'd rather do it with the app that has a vastly more navigable UI.
With Heroic for GOG and Epic, and Bottles for the odd other game, whats the use case for lutris?
Two mentions of Lutris, it works, but personally I think it's over-complicated, ugly and unreliable.
Bottles is the better alternative, IMO. Simpler UI, still with access to advanced options if you need them, wine bottle version control, etc.
The article has literally zero info about what they are actually going to do. It's just people going "this is bad and these people are the worst, we do not want them here".
Ok? So what are you gonna do about it?
All it does is mention that "tech that can be a game-changer sometimes takes a long time" and I'm guessing that's referring to Riot's plans to use AI to mass-surveill all voice chats to detect harassment.
