Words of wisdom from SatansMaggotyCumFart.

Meredith Whitaker, the president of Signal, said “I keep brooding on the way the xz backdoor was enabled in significant part via weaponizing the FOSS [free and open source software culture of shitty behavior and abuse.”

“What is striking is that the uncool, mean standards of FOSS conduct that many of us have decried for years, and that many defended as authentic, tough, etc., ended up not just being exclusionary loser behavior, but a significant attack surface.”

Emphasis mine.

A software economy based around sharing and openness is not compatible with whatever the fuck you want it to be. If you want decent, secure software, provided for free, then be a decent human.

First time seeing him. Jesus. He looks just like him, 60 years ago. Y'all sure he didn't just clone himself?

Sorry for the confusion. I should probably start using emojis to convey playfulness in nonserious comments.

You know jokes and sarcasm are a thing, right?

Everything's "techbros living in a sci-fi novel", until one day it isn't.

I'm only 42 and I have seen very incredible advancements made in my lifetime that I never thought would be reality as a child. Handheld mobile communications devices that allow you to talk and share media instantly with anyone on the planet, for instance. That's some literal Star Trek shit. Or the fact we now have the equivalent computing power of all the world's supercomputers in the 80s put together on our desks. Or RNA vaccines, instead of using dead or dying viruses, we can now reprogram the body to make whatever antibodies it needs.

This is only true if you’re still using a 32 bit cpu

Bank switching to "fake" the ability to access more address space was a big thing in the 80s...so it's technically possible to access addresses that are wider than the address bus by dividing it up into portions that it can see.

Why? I'd use the shit out of them at work. I work on construction sites. It'd be awesome to have an app to superimpose the finished plans on top of what I'm seeing so I don't have to constantly refer back to the paper prints. No more measuring shit five times, just install it exactly as you see it.

Do any of you people actually use your OS, or do you just distro-hop and tweak things all day?

This comic strip always weirded me out. It's like the Veggie Tales of comic strips.

Did you forgot about Tamagotchi? It would just be the next iteration of that.

Kids aren't that stupid, in my experience. My son knew at 6 years old that the voice coming out of our Google Home speakers is fake.
