You're not wrong but I don't love the implication that people who use wheelchairs aren't healthy

Adding to your point: the freedom to petition the government for the redress of grievances is not just in the Bill of Rights, it's also in the Magna Carta.

I love you all very much but just please be aware that "the floor" is literally where the files are supposed to go, according to the spec. I don't like it, you don't like it, nobody likes it. But that's why it's happening.

Relevant section quoted for the lazy:

User specific configuration files for applications are stored in the user's home directory in a file that starts with the '.' character (a "dot file"). If an application needs to create more than one dot file then they should be placed in a subdirectory with a name starting with a '.' character, (a "dot directory"). In this case the configuration files should not start with the '.' character.

Noob question: that's a really old library, right? Has this issue been there for decades before someone found it, or is this vulnerability part of some newer addition to it?

Edit: I didn't understand the first sentence of the article so I figured I wouldn't understand any of it -- but my question is answered pretty early on:

It's said to have been accidentally introduced in August 2022 with the release of glibc 2.37.

Disagree. The hostility expresses frustration and indicates recognition of a long term pattern, and emphasizes the gravity of Torvalds's observation.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not pro-abuse -- while the hostility does contribute to the content, that doesn't mean it will have the desired effect. Some people get a fire lit under them when they experience that kind of feedback; others get defensive or heated or hurt, and those people are NOT motivated effectively -- and it can cause lasting harm.

The key of it is: group B will not learn and grow from this approach; they'll learn and grow from a more cool headed approach. Group A, however, will grow from either approach. Therefore, the cool headed approach is preferable.

He probably knew. There are more stories of bad outcomes for that kind of shit than good ones. The fact that he did it anyway is why his actions are so admirable and heroic.

You're not wrong but I feel you might be being overly specific. It's not just the US that protects their wealthy -- this would happen anywhere -- some places maybe a little less harshly, but plenty would be more harsh, too. The Panama Papers journalist was killed "extrajudicially"

If you try to get any supervisory position in the federal government, they do a thorough background check, including checking on your debts. It's important to know whether someone at any level of management is susceptible to pressure or bribery. This goes for a LOT of non-management federal positions, too.

But the president? No, we'll just trust him. What's a political candidate going to do, get up on a stage and lie?? Don't be ridiculous.

The judge compared his actions to Jan 6 -- so if Trump's elected, he'll surely pardon this guy, right?? Trump was going to release that stuff anyway, he just couldn't because mumbles into hand and then trails off

ITT: people who didn't click the link. It's in like the very first sentence.

Even if Trump got the maximum sentence for all of his crimes, he wouldn't live another 5 years. (I don't mean to imply he'd be Epstein'd, or even Chauvin'd -- though i guess that's possible -- I just mean he's old, fat, eats unhealthily -- I can't think of a softer, weaker person. And "dying of old age" happens a lot younger when you're under a lot of stress.)

Raping multiple children while supposedly being the spiritual leader of a community: sideways job transfer.

Becoming president and attempting to overthrow the government: ???

Let's find out!
