I was able to solve the problem. Instead of downloading it from the Software Manager I installed it from the terminal instead.
When I installed it from the software manager it didn’t download one of the packages (org.gnome.platform/44) but when I did it from the terminal it did.
I saw this video on here sometime ago and thought it brought up a great alternative that still lets people experience these things for free and lets artists still get paid:
How does it make the decision to recommend one post over another using the data it collects? Also does it treat all that data differently when ranking posts?
Any picture/video/text that is tries to present facts or events without sources should be dismissed (unless they are facts or events that you have previously verified for yourself). At least with a source you can reason about motives, resources, etc. to get a better picture of what is being pushed and why.
So the company was aware but I was wondering on whether it was public knowledge released today or it was released back then but no one paid attention.
Also the report says that they don’t believe it is a nation state actor because it doesn’t match with any known malicious clusters but it’s likely that countries have multiple unknown clusters they can test with if necessary.
I was more thinking about all the services that rely on internet access to function. Like most economic systems would basically crash or grind to a halt.
There are a lot of products that don’t really need to be connected to the internet to do their job but are being connected anyways and would get bricked if access to the internet didn’t work. For example internet connected security cameras that don’t have cables connecting to where the data is being stored would be shot as well.
I mean the extent of the damage is really dependent on how the malware was spread which we don’t know yet so still mostly speculation on how damaging it could be.
So the attack happened in October 2023 but it was only revealed to the public now? Or is it that it was public back then but people didn’t pay attention?
Also the part where they say it has only ever happened as a precursor to a military invasion sort makes me think that this attack was some nation state practicing or signalling what they would do if they were in active cyber warfare which would be bad for the world if people in the competing nations didn’t have internet access, even if it was only for a day or two.
I can’t blame some New Caledonians for wanting to remain a part of France.
The people that are affected by the racism want to be independent and the people that aren’t want to stay a part of France. So the cost isn’t spread evenly, that’s why there is this huge problem in the first place.
