Diseased Open Source Software Community - it's about ethics in Code of Conducts

[Betonhaus]

Just to clarify are we referring to the entire rootkit being in the source code or just enough of it to secretly download and run the necessary binaries for the rootkit?

Don’t worry your pretty little head about it. Your operating system vendor takes security very seriously, just ask their PR department.

Reminder: the only reason we found out about the xz backdoor is because some autist from Microsoft(!) noticed that his SSH took half a second longer to connect.

 

[Unimaginative Username]

I doubt that. The backdoors are a risk to them too if they use the software. It's good practice for maintainers to use their own software anyway ("dogfooding").

This is hopelessly naive. It's commonly accepted that government agencies like the NSA do an internal evaluation if the discover a security hole in some software: if it's likely to be discovered by rival agencies or criminals, they'll file a bug report or submit a patch to deny their enemies a chance to exploit the hole, but if the hole is obscure enough that it's unlikely to be discovered by anyone else, they'll make a patch for themselves (and maybe some friendly agencies) to avoid getting pwned if a rival does happen to discover it, but otherwise they'll keep it secret so they can exploit it themselves.

I just learned that the creator of Chimera Linux trooned out in January. Only found out because I was looking up dinit, and he just so happened to be an active contributor. I mean, I'm not surprised. He was always a bit of fruit cake, but geez.

Ah, the same guy that the eternal troon simp DeVault was fawning over in his latest blog post about the XLibre nonsense.

Off to a good start . At least the troon alias isn't Sophie or Emily.

LOL, like clockwork, it's the funny Swedish warehouse shark.

Guy seems deranged and significant enough (in Drew's orbit anyway) to be worth his own thread.

 

[The Real Slim Shady]

There are probably missile/bomb guidance systems in current use by the US military that use FFMPEG because many processors natively support it.

FFmpeg is unlikely, but OpenCV is for sure used in weapon guidance and surveillance technology.

He was some nutty dude on twitter calling himself an anarchist, and bitching and moaning about suckless being reactionary. The guy is just full of all kinds of non-sense. Was a Void dev too. They're known for producing freaks and weirdo faggots.

Suckless is reactionary? News to me.
What does reactionary even mean, is it just another word for "right-wing"/"Nazi"?

It means "anybody not 100% on board with fully automated gay space communism"

Suckless is quite literally reactionary since it's mostly about RETVRN TO TRVE VNIX. The guy is probably referring to the few lolbergs and NRXfags in the suckless community though.

Google's AI still deadnames him. Well at least it's good for something.

I just cannot believe google is complicit in trans genocide. Wow.

https://lunduke.substack.com/p/id-verification-could-fix-the-dead

Lunduke advocating for mandatory ID verification as "the only solution" to the AI bot problem (he literally just covered the Tea app leak). Besides the obvious, there are a few big problems with this. 1 platforms have the ability right now to massively downsize the AI bot problem, but they don't do this because those bots are beneficial to those platforms. 2 many of those "bots" are actually humans, whether they are Indians or Redditors. 3 even pretending that platforms want to get rid of the bots, this is unlikely to even work, because it is very unlikely that a convincing fake ID will be spotted, especially since shitholes like India will probably be willing to vouch for them. 4 this is very racist because black people are too stupid to get government IDs, as is well known. 5 the highest quality posters will leave because you would have to be terminally retarded to send your government ID to a tech company.

 

[Betonhaus]

6 real ID is wholly unnecessary because platforms already have the ip addresss of the users and can geolocate them. If they at least posted the country the user was posting from it would become blatantly clear who are bots

Instead of that, what about not believing every single thing you see on the internet like a complete retard?

 

[Max Weber]

Related to that, EU started developing their age verification app, and the README states that it will depend on Google Play Integrity API and Apple App Attestation (which may or may not be just a boilerplate they didn't remove).

There's an issue open about that, which received some attention from users, but no response from developers. GitHub / Ghostarchive

 

[Unintelligence Score]

He was so dismayed his code was used by a community he didn't like he decided that he didn't want to write FOSS code anymore to be absolutely certain nobody he didn't like would use his work ever again.

Forget code. Getting kaniini to drop out of FOSS is the greatest contribution to FOSS after the GNU license.

There's more cheap as fuck 3rd worlders who will spam than there are bots on the internet.

 

[break these cuffs]

Does this retard Lunduke not understand that the internet is already dead and were in the decay process ecosystem forming on its corpse?
