are you willing to contribute time, money and code?

Your argument is so removed from the point, it’s an entirely different conversation.

I already contribute time and code to open source projects, and I promise you’ll have heard of some of the things I contributed a lot to. That’s beside the point.

This is like saying “I’d prefer if doctors took their time with patients to understand their cases and provide meaningful accurate resolutions to ailments instead of rushing” and you replying with ”oh yeah, are you willing to contribute with medicine and triage?”.


the web was famously cut off for all sorts of media before DRM was permitted

tragedy of the commons with your ideological buzzwords sprinkled in, truly innovative

i don't even own a dgpu capable of encoding av1 and they're already coming out with av2?

If the thing you are working on is already out of date to the point there is already significant work on the 2 version, why would you continue?

sometimes they don’t even have a brain to begin with

was iran a muslim theocracy when they invented the word “checkmate”?

congrats on the glorious past or whatever, in the actual present iran is a failed state ran and supported by loons


Similar arguments could be made about the US republic. The land of Washington, Jefferson, Franklin and Lincoln, now also speed running its way to failed state status and being run and supported by loons.

the real world (the place where ubuntu servers are hosted) does have borders, singing kumbaya won’t stop terrorists from attacking western infrastructure

also, “cross-border attack” is a direct quotation from canonical by ars technica, take it up with them


it’s called building and preserving a high trust society, you wouldn’t understand

How does someone being incentivized to sell a vulnerability to a private organization over disclosing it publicly preserve a "high trust society"? Do you mean in the context of a "deceptively high-trust society"?

Those private actors aren't planning to sit around and hold onto these exploits they've horded forevermore, they're obviously paying for them so they can one day use them.


have you ever tried to set up an smb share and use that as your time machine target?

10 years ago people might had cared about your whining, not anymore (thank god)
