> True diversity means listening to qualified and civil voices...
Referring to the leadership of Heritage as "civil" is a stretch from the point of view of individuals in categories repeatedly demeaned and dehumanized by the members of the organization acting in their official capacities.
All of these are true! Except maybe the first one, which is a gross oversimplification.
"The dose makes the poison" is not something I expect an average Google user to have modeled accurately.
Edit: after reviewing other examples in this thread, my opinion of an average Google user has fallen drastically. Was mostly having a laugh at the fact fluoride salts are generally a thing I avoid, which seems to be the intuition represented by your example.
Maybe once upon a time, but with blobless mainline Linux kernel support for almost all features on almost all SOCs[1], including video codecs on many parts[2], anyone claiming Allwinner to be "the devil" or variants on a theme is unambiguously incorrect. Broadcomm and the raspi foundation are evil. [3][4]
Running a build of Ayufan's 4.19 patches on a rock64 with latest dev device tree from the Armbian project. Eth runs close to theoretical, finally, and I've not observed any issues with USB3 either. Months of uptime, TB of traffic.
Here with the rock64 it was just a matter of time till hardware support settled in mainline, and it seems like we're there!
Proprietary - Can't patch out the autoupdate, which I might be tempted to do if something else in my toolchain did things at someone else's leisure.
DRM/monetisation - the product as of my comment didn't seem to acknowledge the open source works compiled into the binary, and I didn't think that was a good look for someone with the authority to push out malicious code.
I don't think a DRM solution that is both robust against an adversary and inspectable by a stakeholder can be engineered. Software can't look out for both the person running it and the person selling it simultaneously when their needs are mutually exclusive. Cory Doctorow has some eloquent content on the topic, ie at [0].
In this particular case, the use of TLS (good!) makes it relatively challenging to inspect. Assuming the author isn't shipping a cert in his binary (doesn't look like it) - I'd have to spinup a new VM, load a custom root cert, and mess with a TLS terminating proxy / forwarding solution, and hope he's not using a secondary stream cipher on top of TLS. Maybe I get lucky and https://mitmproxy.org/ or something just works out of the box. In any case, lots of effort to know he's not siphoning up all the source code on the local machine and using it to train v2 of his project. And the more robust the DRM solution, the less feasible it is to inspect.
...as risky as installing a proprietary editor plugin which updates automatically, yes.
Also, AFAIK most understandings of MIT, BSD, and Apache 2.0 licenses require you to acknowledge the copyright holders of the source code you compile into your binary, even if the licenses permit binary distribution. I can't find your "Copyright (c) 2018 Tokio Contributors" or "Copyright (c) 2014 The Rust Project Developers" that I'd expect based on `strings TabNine | grep github`. Maybe you've got a lawyer that suggests otherwise? Your plea of "trust me, I have good hygiene" carries less weight when I have to `strings` your stuff to know what shoulders of which giants you're standing on.
Fortunately, seems as if this is not as easy to exploit as it sounds. Patched dropbear to send SUCCESS instead of REQUEST and my servers throw `dispatch_protocol_error: type 52 seq 5 [preauth]`
I'm astonished that there are folks in this thread who believe vaping to be as harmful as smoking cigarettes. Are there any peer reviewed papers supporting this assertion? I've kept an eye on literature as it's been released and everything indicates orders of magnitude less cell death and disruption from nicotine and flavor carrying PG/VG vape juice than cigarette smoke. Linked a DOI supporting this understanding elsewhere, but wondering if folks have papers supporting the opposite?
Floss is often / typically Nylon, which will take decades. If you accidentally wound up with PTFE floss (which is apparently a thing) I'd expect millennia unless it's in direct sun.
Tampons should biodegrade at home, but I'm willing to bet there are large swaths of the US where composting anything with human fluids is illegal.
In any case, hat-tip for empiricism! Very pro composting, wish it was safer, smaller, and easier to do at home.
