Don't windows-shame me!

I prefer to think of it as an open relationship. I have my home distro, my work distro, and if either of them aren't in the mood, there is an wide variety of other distros to get the job done.

And if I'm feeling really kinky, there's always Windows.

I think it perfectly highlights what can happen when the risk/severity is blown out of proportion. People will latch on to that and waste precious time and energy defending that.

If the original guy had just published "CUPS has a RCE, firewall it if you haven't already", the issue would have been patched in the next release, and the world would have kept turning.

It was a really cool bug, and a great find, it didn't need the hype

Didn't know that, but makes sense.

if you are from Russia, it is impossible to convince the US that you are not a part of a state-sponsored entity

This quote from your article does nail the problem on the head though.

Pfft, thats an easy one to solve, just make it illegal it miscarry. Next!

Do I need /s?

Russians can still contribute, they just can't be direct maintainers.

Nothing will likely change in the short term.

Chess/Go? AlphaZero would fit that description. Also think they were tackling StarCraft as well?

Do you mean pleading guilty?

I am not a lawyer, but my understanding is its a way to shortcut the trial, and hopefully get a lenient sentence.

We get drug spam and stock spam, no reason to expect that political spam is any less likely.

Lemmy has a huge amount of hardcore lefty's. If you can get them to not vote, and especially if you can get them to tell their friends not to vote, that is a big win.

Astroturfing/sockpuppeting is dirty cheap to do, so no reason not to try.

You do see some users here that will post continously on about a certain topic repeatedly, with no other opinions. They might be legit, but I have my suspicions.
