- Comment on Arch Linux and Valve Collaboration 1 month ago:
Lots of major companies like Microsoft and IBM also contribute to Linux, it doesn’t make them saints nor even necessarily compare to what they get for using the volunteer dev work inside Linux.
Most of those companies actually contribute to the kernel or to foundational software used on servers, but few contribute to the userspace for desktop consumers on the level that Valve does.

- Comment on Critical 'BatBadBut' Rust Vulnerability Exposes Windows Systems to Attacks 7 months ago:
Because Rust is not the only language that made this faulty assumption. It is an issue that affects Rust’s stdlib, just like it is an issue that affects Python’s stdlib and other libraries. In fact this was first reported as a vulnerability to yt-dlp (where it was actually exploitable) and then discovered it applied to many other libraries (where the exploitability is highly dependent on how the feature is used).
Rust here is only used as clickbait because of its aim to be “safe”, but it’s position is no different from other languages.
If you read the article from the researcher that discovered the vulnerability you’ll see they never call out Rust in particular, only as part of a list of languages that are affected. flatt.tech/…/batbadbut-you-cant-securely-execute-…

- Comment on Apple’s biggest critics are big mad about the new 27 percent App Store tax 9 months ago:
But I just need to find one that doesn’t and by an open source Android there will always be an image to flash.
