you're new (to the site, and here), aren't you?

not ~~even~~ just an apologist, a literal hardcore german neonazi. matthew garrett surfaced a 2018 mail to a devuan mailing list chock full of nazi historical revisionism that you don't get into casually.

tbh i would not call richard hanania “an ex-white nationalist”; he's a white supremacist through and through and never stopped, also, freddie deboer is as far to the left as the late unlamented gregor strasser, and probably much less.

and even with these caveats, it's a pretty damning piece, even if every other careful reader is probably aware that siskind engages in whitewashing scientific racism and white supremacy for fucking decades.

it was always a risk; questioning someone's integrity, be it directly or indirectly, is rarely welcomed.

needless to say, i'm even less inclined to resume any activity on reddit.

yup.

also: it was microsoft's business decision to make the api required for av (or, more general security subsystems) to function so low-level that it has to be delivered as a kernel driver and operate in ring0. i guess it's primarily for the performance reasons, but still, there are other technical options. someone made the executive decision there.

on the other hand, it was crowdstrike's business decision to make the bloody update parser run in ring0, and without verification that the update data is correct, nobody forced them to do it that way.

let them both burn.

this is quite infuriating, i had a number of mozilla/firefox people telling me that this feature wouldn't work with opt-in (it's bullshit though) because too few users would enable it, and neither fucker asked himself : “wait, if we're afraid we can't convince our user base to buy-in, perhaps we shouldn't develop the feature?”

for people who thought this might not be related to the llm brainworms, the reasoning of the iterm2 author for inclusion of the feature (when promptedy by @[email protected]) :

I got a number of requests. I also got tired of copy-pasting things to ChatGPT. Usually if I find a feature useful, other people do, too.

ah, a civility connoisseur.

if i wouldn't know from @[email protected] that it's undoubtfully a manor house, i'd think it's a fucking castle.

(btw, did we ever hear back from the person after they decided to go full tescreal on their popular website?)

ah, davis aurini, a man after gamergate's heart.

so, copium?

not going to waste my time on a random terf, but i'm happy to see said terf to waste ten times more to write and meticulously cross-reference all that crap.
