Humanity still doesn’t get germ theory. 🤷‍♂️

I have news for you about where the taxes you paid on those burgers went.

Hope everyone is voting!

Mprotect stops any read and write and execute access to memory in both user and kernel lands (only rx or wx). Stuff like web browsers won’t work unless you have a program to mark it in elf to not use pax. However, this kills a lot of exploits with that turned on by itself (though there are probably work arounds if you are developing exploits which the other features would hopefully catch). That’s why people installed 3rd party unmainlined security patches, but that’s just me maybe idk.

I am having a hard time following what this does or why this is desirable. You’re saying there’s a patch this thing provides that … disables memory access … unless a flag is set in an executable … which will then bypass the security?

Why would anyone want to run unmainlined security patches from a company?

This is how CrowdStrike happened.

This feels like security via business decision which is always the opposite of security. At least this would be open source now? 🤷‍♂️

The brutal cognitive dissonance you manage to encapsulated in this comment is impressive.

Russia could withdraw from the country they invaded, too. That might be a much quicker solution.

That’s weird timing:

You are … making my point.

I worry sometimes that the reddit exodus brought mostly bellyachers.

The sheer boringness of these repeated questions about the size, growth, health of the fediverse.

Fuck metrics. Jesus, do you mot get it at all?

The 90s was Pop Art

Real talk ☝️

Five!

Why do you do this?

Yeah, I am well aware. The absolute fuckin morons we put in charge as humans can’t seem to figure out how not to fuck everything up.

Your mistake is thinking I don’t think invading a sovereign nation for trumped up reasons is wrong.

You need a break. Go outside and look around. Breathe in the air, listen to the sounds. Trump can’t just magically take all that away from you.

Vote against him. Help get out the vote. Donate.

But live your life. Don’t let that asshole have so much space in your head. At least take a week off from politics or something to reset because as concerned as I am, you sound way too worried about stuff you can’t directly control.

Edit: I want to be clear that I think breaking people down mentally like this is part of Trump’s strategy. It’s terrifying and paralyzing. It’s not productive. I am not telling people we can ignore this, just to make sure we are not falling into the very traps they want. VOTE.

You forget one thing: the bulk of his supporters are old as fuck. They don’t have a lot of elections left in them. I would be far less pessimistic about '28. (Not that I think it’s a lock for the left, just that if Trump loses this time he has really fucked up the GOP and it may take a decade or two to get back to the power levels they have now.)
