Doesn’t matter. If the “progress” you’re talking about happens now, it makes things worse, not better, because the denialist population is still growing.

I get humans are attached to the idea of growing the population, but if you can’t understand what I’m saying, you’re doing denialism too.

If a German politician thinks shutting down coal mines in Colombia will stop them from being started back up, there’s a word for that: denialism.

If you are a politician, my advice is to change jobs because there’s no point acting as a “representative” of a suicide cult.

If you’re not a politician, you should accept that politicians have to at least act denialist because they represent the democracy of a suicide cult, so accelerationism is the potentially least deadly option for them.

Until serious consequences start, the more denialist politicians are, the better.

The current stage of consequences won’t snap people out of denialism, and reducing denialism without eliminating it just makes the problem worse by having more people born and more wildlife extinct before we reach that stage.

Each of us shouldn’t be denialist or support denialism at all, but we’re not politicians. Politicians are denialist, so we should welcome it when they are as extreme and rushed as possible.

Still not getting your point. Is there a reason I should read about Redishell?

All according to script, though. Senators have access to staff who know how air traffic control works. None of this has gone unplanned

the only loss here is my time as a moderator :P

I value mine more than yours, sorry.

Do keep in mind that all this has a lot of “editor wars” vibes. But the conflict goes beyond Debian (e.g. including Rust in Linux kernel), and actual harmful discussions between Rust and C/C++ people is REAL, damaging our communities, and very much driven by generations/ network-effect. And this is just sad. It’s not a technical issue, and overcoming it seems nearly impossible at the moment.

Is this the reason you give me a “warning” later in your reply? I’m not getting the exact point clearly. This topic is “harmful,” but I don’t think you warned everyone else discussing it? So what is the actual warning? Are you telling me not to reply in threads on this topic in the future?

backdoors to me are a smaller concern in the software industry nowadays in comparison to the Redishell provided that you were unable to fully understand

Backdoors are a top priority concern in consumer electronics. I hope nobody lets themselves be mislead on that fact here.

I have no idea what “Redishell” is. I don’t think there was any point in this thread where I said anything about it, so what are you talking about with me being “unable to fully understand” it? Couldn’t you try telling me what it is and checking how much I understand before saying that? Am I totally forgetting something?

Whatever it is, it sounds like you’re implying it’s a security vulnerability that cannot be a backdoor, which I definitely don’t understand when I have no idea what it is.

Yeah. I will say, after looking at the data more, the youngest demographic does make it look like smartphones could be a bigger part than I realized. That’s very counterintuitive to me, since smartphones are interactive and great at accessing information, while we had TVs forever before that

Doesn’t look like it to me. Almost all the charts have 2015/16 close to prior years, but in a severe upswing. After 2020 we’re far out of the previous range, with still no downswing. But the article did say 2016 too, so it’s not you being dumb or anything

If you’re too fearful to think straight, sure. But I suggest honesty instead of denialism. This seems like mostly a result of the ongoing COVID pandemic

Happy for you or sorry that happened or whatever

Then I get half of a not-top-2 distro. And even the “giants” (Ubuntu / Fedora) are too small to develop full stability for their half-distros. Bad situation

Not reading this. Feel free to start this discussion with me on nostr, where there are no bans, if you have a spine

I think I’m the wrong person to try to gaslight

systemd

Looks like it’s already time to move away from MX Linux. That sucks. Whole Linux ecosystem back to getting worse instead of better?

That all lines up with what I’ve heard. Thanks for the comprehensive reply 🤙

Nice, thank you

Expected by who? Not everyone pretended this would happen more slowly

Not seeing a link here. Again, this platform has bans, making it an inappropriate place for you to rage bait me, and not a great place for me to read your replies after you’ve demonstrated your penchant for rage baiting.

Why?
