From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

YSK archive.is uses you to maliciously DDOS a random blogger they don't like and other weird stuff.
https://cybernews.com/security/archive-today-launches-ddos-directing-visitors-to-attack-blog/
In a world where psychopathic mega corporations are openly looking for ways to enslave humanity and bring about the end of the planet, the weird tantrums of an obviously mentally spicy web site owner just seem cute.
Wait, what?
How can he be such a dick? I'll take the link down.
over doxxing? callling doxxing them as "something they dont like" makes it seem so arbitrary
I don't care about who did what, it's all he said/she said and either way I didn't consent to being part of such an attack.
At this point, it feels like there's very little left that isn't malicious.
Other sites could also do this. That's a design fault in the internet.
