Some might be interested in pre-compressing their sites:

It doesn't stop client CPU burn, but it might help get data to the client device without on-the-fly compression a bit quicker, which in my experience is helpful from the server side too.

Used clamav a lot in the past, it prevented a lot of Windows viruses making it past qmail on to exchange.

Yes, there have been times when distros have allowed things through, but that happens far less than malware getting through in a self service ecosystem.

The only benefit I see is that AV may point out that you have software that needs updating.

Is running AV on linux worth the downgrade performance that you'd get from dropping your CPU one or two generations and a couple of hours of battery life?

How is Gates past? Doesn't he still own the majority share but just someone else is the face of the company? I would assume, as a majority share holder, your interests and ethics would remain the same.

Wouldn't anyone with a pension or shares in a company want it to succeed?

Hello, author of please (https://gitlab.com/edneville/please) here, where I've taken a different approach to make permitting grnular things simple.

Permiting everything is no different really to browsing the web as root.

Permitting granular things in sudo and doas isn't easy.

For what it is worth, many of the systems I work on on have many more than just one user and I am sure that other people work on bigger environments too. When you have multiple users, you run the risk of delegating more access than you should and thus compromise content, hence why I think access should simple!
