Linus, you must deliver Linux to Nerdman.
If your app becomes vulnerable because the source code leaked, your app was always vulnerable.
Security by obscurity isn't reliable protection.
That’s why I only use brand name condoms!
Even then you can get a trojan.

I mentioned this last time this was posted, but linux only has around 20 million lines of code. It's funny how people always seem to overestimate the size.
300 trillion lines you say!?!?
Commit 7 billion lines
SMH with some serious management we could double that number of lines in mere months.
(Do I have to put the / ?)

You seem to underestimate how much 20 million loc is.
The difference in size between billions and 20 million is actually about the same order of magnitude as the difference between linux and my largest personal project (~100x).
Of course, "only 20 million lines" is a ridiculous statement taken out of context.
Wild thing is some total moron will read that and be like "phew thank god I run windows!”
"See? I told you this lunix (sic) is dangerous!"
The funniest part of your comment is that you could not let Linux be misspelled without a correction, even though that's the joke.
Hence the preemptive sic 😁
This joke will always be relevant.
oh man thats crazy! Hope no one leaks git's source code next
c/linuxsucks be like
Didn't knos !linuxsucks@lemmy.world is a thing
Edit: It seems posting is disabled. Missed opportunity to advocate BSD
“paid partnership” fuck yeah
Idk how the monetization of a Twitter account works in the first place, but this detail boggles my mind
It has already been forked more than 60K times, there is no way linux can recover from this.
He's even rumoured to have recently started to use AI to assist in his project...!
What a dbag! Next we’ll find out he cusses people out on email lists and PRs.
what the heck the whole kernel, really?
Scientists who looked at the code are TERRIFIED!!!

Create an operating system. Write code. Do not make any mistakes. Don't hallucinate
You should know by bow you have to capitalize "DON'T" so it really does not make mistakes. And if you really wanna emphasize it, say "DO NOT". this tells ai to really think. Know your tools!

Joke's on us? I dunno leave me alone.
Maybe it's just me but that site is atrocious to navigate on mobile, text and pictures didn't load until it's like half way on the page and the text does some weird animation effect when scrolling. Very distracting and difficult to skim

This joke is always funny.
Soon enough there will be a fully decompiled Windows 11
It turns out Windows 11 was just a backed up septic system all along.
backed up septic system
It's called "MFC".
Now imagine someone who would believe this is for real.
Up to a few days ago I assumed that would be my Director of Security.
My condolences.
You all laugh but I know people this dumb.
