Actually, yes. Because it’s just data. It might change system behaviors in annoying ways when programs read that data, but it’s just data.

Executing curl | sudo bash because docker said so, or some flavor of the week python packages manager says so, or because you want to run tailscale and your distro doesn’t have a package…any of those scenarios relies much much much much much more on trust and is a major security flaw in how applications are distributed on Linux.

Of the two of you, you seem more hateful

This will never stop being a funny joke I hope you do it forever.

Sadly while you do that our county will still be burning down the planet around you, but at least the history books will call us the nameless which is a damn cool name.

That was poetic as shit, man

Is Putin a communist now? I thought he dismantled communism into capitalist oligarchy.

So it’s stateless but there’s a state according to the common definition but not according to a different definition that is less common. Got it.

I said whataboutism isn’t what this post is about, it’s about Soviet science.

Yeah isn’t Lenny.ml full of the libs?

Yeah the nostalgia angle sounds tough. And then you have the x-sov states that are backsliding (hungary, a bit of Czechia), I assume, based on some level of love for the authoritarian nostalgia.

Edit: apparently we can’t even accept that hungary has turned into an authoritarian state. Amazing.

You should really learn to spell words before you try to fight a bunch of liberal nerds.

Lol you’re not even allowed to have your own personal experiences here, that’s apparently in conflict with the glorious Data.

I thought this was about Soviet science, not whataboutisms?

Good

What specific action should people be taking that will have an observable result?

Personally I just walk up behind them, cover their eyes with my hands and yell “guess who?”

But to each their own

Well speaking for this week: doing my taxes, reviewing documentation at work.

That’s not what DEI means, don’t accept the nazis propaganda.

Their wives are not dei because that’s not what dei means.

Don’t accept their language.

Google drive is absolutely horrible to use for any real purpose. Organizing things is awful, search sucks, sharing permissions are dumb in terms of their specific behaviors. Its not particularly hard to use for basic things where you’ve got like 10 files in there, but it’s a terrible example of usable software. Like… SharePoint is better, and I didn’t think it was possible to be worse than SharePoint.
