  • Thanks for sharing this, it’s an intersting look at the inner workings of kernel development security-trust model.

    I’ve seen a lot of stuff being about Linus in the kernel-related stuff, so I have one question: are they really as central as they seem - and we’re all gonna weep blood when they’re not here any more for any reason - or are they a figurehead (due to being the creator and still being very involved) in a sea of equally involved developpers/maintainers/contributors - and should something happen to them, the kernel would continue going in the same direction?

    My anarchist ass obviously hopes for the second option 🤞

    Other options on mobile:

    • using a firefow-based browser (like Fennec on F-droid) on which you can install Ublock Origin
    • also on the F-droid store, newpipe handles youtube shit gracefully

    For anyone not in the know, F-droid is an alternative app store for android where all applications are opensource, verified and don’t track you.
    You can download it from their website (be warned: android is likely to ask you a half a dozen times if you’re sure you want to download, install and give it permissions), install it and explore a great new world :)








  • Off-topic only, has nothing to do with the content related to CP2077 and the muskrat

    So, based on some comments here, it looks like I came across as trying to ban language, to forbid words, to restrict your free speech.

    As stated in my original post, this was and still is not my intention. I have not attacked personally the persones using “cunt”, nor have I said no one should say that.

    I just shared a reflexion, because that’s why I sign up on social media platforms.

    I am happy that some people felt safe enough in this community to explain why they think my views are incorrect, I actually learned some things thanks to you.

    I’m not trying to ban the “cunt” word from language - and if I was, it would be so laughable to think I could have that kind of influence.

    I just believe that the words we use have an effect on people. And I think it’s worth it to sometimes pause and wonder which words we are using and if we can use better ones.

    I’m not going to engage further on this topic in this channel, it’s probably not the most appropriate space.

    Btw, I saw some posters here still use the slur “cunt”.

    It’s my understanding that depending on which country you’re from (eg Australia or UK) this slur might not carry a sexist connotation in the mainstream culture, so I don’t think any of you used it with the intent of being sexist.

    Nevertheless, in the feminist circles I belong to, uskng a word that describes the genitalia of AFAB as a slur carries a sexist charge whether it was the intent or not. So we try to create new slur reflexes for ourselves and tend to use other words that do not carry an offensive charge towards a discriminated category.

    Please do not take this as a personal attack or an attempt to tell you how to speak, I just think we can do better as a community if everyone spots the stuff they are the more sensitive to and explains to the others why they see a problem.

    On-topic. Elon, please get lost in outer space in one of your stupid rockets.
