I ran across it when it was still pitching “cozy twitter”, but rapidly also saw that a lot of that was driven by some of the homesteader and natalist types. then after a few rounds of looking into some histories and bigger posters, started backing away… can imagine it’s more mask-off now

I regret to inform you: is*

please enjoy the calibre dev repeatedly stepping on rakes that smack him in the face when multiple computer security professionals showed him 10+(!) severe vulnerabilities in a setuid root mount program nobody asked for that he implemented for frankly fucked personal reasons over the strong objections of his own community

I’d heard of these but never looked into it (hadn’t needed to), opened now and saw who the bug was reported by. imagine getting that report from that source and then your first answer is to start arguing

double up that multiple distros going back older than that report have had support for automatic user mount systems (and that calibre could’ve just used that)… goddamn

recently I ran into the term “outsider programming” and I really like it as a frame for the kind of inexpert contributors (driveby or otherwise) that you get in a project like calibre, people who just trying to make their own little thing work as best they can - you could look at e.g. the code for the dedrm plugin if you want some examples of this. but then you also get whatever the fuck goyal is doing here, which is … far the other way

oof

thanks for linking that hyuna, I’d run across it once but lost the link/name

I’m not really sure how far that’ll go, tbh. a couple of dipshits will gripe on the orange site but I can’t see this becoming any real kind of wailing flashpoint - largely because I don’t think that most of those clowns even have any idea that the psf exists and even less what it is they do

wtf is this comment

fucking willison and his bullshit booster takes

“we can’t figure out how to make them stop” just stop using the lies generator, you fuckwit.

taking all the wrong bloody lessons from “computer says no”

ah, the Billionaire Builder class. I was assured that these are the people who should lead the world “they” have “built”, and see absolutely no issue here whatsoever!~

I mostly saw because my main view is new-comments :)
