      Why do I like computing as a field of study and as an industry?&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Why still, when the tech industry works so hard to find new reasons to be reviled - invading privacy; bending public sentiment against democratic institutions by monetizing disinformation campaigns; leveraging enormous financial instruments against laws, regulations, &amp;amp; social norms that have protected employees &amp;amp; preserved dignity; driving up profit for investors at the expense of environmental externalities borne by the powerless?

      This is probably a pretty cold take at this point, but I feel like SELinux is a failed idea.  Not in that it doesn&amp;#39;t function, because it does; nor in that its functionality isn&amp;#39;t valuable, because it is; but in that it has failed to turn that value into a wide improvement in the security of the linux ecosystem.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I think a contributing cause for this is how it feels like a sales pitch: &amp;#34;buy our training course&amp;#34;, &amp;#34;buy our consultancy package&amp;#34;.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Feels like it was written by IBM.
