  Yes, something where FOSS shines. Linus’ law.

  Too bad this doesn’t really mention the Fediverse or open-source software. Seems a next logical step

  I… Don’t understand what you said here 🫤

  I mean… For real, I’ve never heard of Linux systems being hacked this way. I’m sure it’s possible, but it certainly seems rarer.

  Slipping shit in upstream also certainly doesn’t happen "that* often. It takes effort to become recognised enough as a developer to be allowed access to the upstream code, meaning you can’t automate those kinds of attacks. (I imagine. Correct me if I’m wrong.)

  Don’t forget the raging alcoholism

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[VIDEO] Japan Sanctions Visa after the Censorship of Anime and Manga⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I imagine that’s because that would be against the interests of the owners of those companies. Which presumably have some power in the world, being practically internationally successful banks.

  Tldr; money.

  I would never buy this, but it’s nice that it exists

  Thanks, I despise this.

  At least. Honestly I’m expecting a full dictatorship at this point…

  Oh! That guy who murdered a CEO was called Luigi too, that must be what they meant!

  I tried to stop following American news after Trump’s re-election, so I probably haven’t seen this story as often as most others here have.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI-generated phishing emails are getting very good at targeting executives⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  …I don’t get it.

  Interesting! I’m glad the fediverse is expanding in this way.

  Came here to say this! Also Bastion, kind of the same generation of indie games, I feel.
