Lemmy is drowning in duplicate posts about Linux's new Documentation/process/threat-model.rst file and additions to Documentation/process/security-bugs.rst which were added in this commit: same story, same commit, but different URLs, post titles, and human submitters. Posts linking a phoronix article about the commit, posts linking Linus' LKML email about it, posts linking The Register's article about Linus' LKML email, posts linking a gamingonlinux article about the email about the commit - and now, this post linking a screenshot of a mastodon post containing a screenshot of [part of] the diff of the commit. Lemmy moderators have now formalized the obvious: one post per this topic per community is enough. Most of these posts aren't even good summaries of the situation anyway: For instance, this one says "1 CVE, 0 patches" which is not accurate at all.
