This right here. Linux security is so good that the easiest way to break in is via Phishing someone with a windows laptop.

Of all the things governments should regulate, this is probably the least important and ineffective one.
- Comment on 100% people who drink water die 1 week ago:
Title is wrong. It’s 100% of people who dies had drunk water. There’s like 8 billion people who drink water and haven’t died. Maybe never will, for all we know.

- Comment on What techniques do bad faith users use online to overwhelm other users in online discussion and arguments? 2 weeks ago:
Then almost any blatant lie would be gaslighting, which I don’t think fits the meaning. My understanding is there are more necessary attributes for a situation to be “gaslighting”, mainly the manipulation and dependency.
If someone lies about what they said in writing (in the age of internet archive of all things) it’s just a plain lie, and a dumb one at that.

How is that not just lying?
Gaslighting (if my understanding is correct) is manipulating someone. Making someone question their own sanity, blaming them, isolating from other people and making them dependent on you.
Lying on the internet to win a stupid argument with a stranger hardly can even start to measure to that.

I have never seen an online discussion where gaslighting was used. People usually just learned the term and they think it’s a synonym for lying.

Well, it’s not like some with a common name like Michael for instance can ever be really famous. Even less if you have a common surname, like Jackson, or Jordan.

Not that bad of a spelling…

You might dislike those names, but there nothing really wrong with their spellings.

Does using French count? Then I nominate “eau”. Impressive 300% bloat, 0 correct letters.

Another example: gears. You have a small wheel moving a large wheel trading speed for torque (or vice versa).
- Comment on VMware perpetual license holders receive cease-and-desist letters from Broadcom 3 weeks ago:
Yes, that guy. If you compare it to the guy getting children addicted to gambling and manipulating elections, or to the guy destroying workers rights and manipulating the press, or to the guy firing half of the federal workers while doing the Nazi salute, changing the name of a project or a frivolous lawsuit here and there is the least of our concerns.

Why? I get that the company is awful, but the database is quite good, isn’t it?

Wait until you hear the bastard child of French, germanic and a bunch of other languages. You can have a word like “lead” and you don’t even know how to pronounce it!
