You think the fucking pope is “adhering to atheist values”? What an interesting place the inside of your head must be.

I’m sure they don’t make silly decisions for no reason.

Ah, I see you’ve never used Firefox or paid attention to any of the decisions that Mozilla’s leadership makes.

While calling him “the dude who hacked Rockstar games” is a catchy meme, Arion Kurtaj was sentenced to indefinite detainment in a secure hospital after being found unfit to stand trial after being arrested a third time for violating the terms of his parole and committing further offenses (only one of which was hacking Rockstar Games.) Rockstar is basically entirely incidental to what happened there, and it’s disingenuous to pretend it’s more important to the outcome than the previous convictions or other acts involved in the trial. He’s also since been deemed fit to stand trial and will be tried in November.

If you must make comparisons, it would be better to pick someone like Aaron Swartz instead of laundering the reputation of a convicted fraudster and extortionist.

You are wrong. Omarchy is still listed on https://frame.work/linux as one of the “distributions” that they give free hardware to, and Nirav’s statement that they “don’t partner based on individuals’ or organizations’ beliefs, values, or political stances outside of their alignment with us on increasing the adoption of open source software” is still available at https://community.frame.work/t/framework-supporting-far-right-racists/75986

You’ll also note that Hyprland is on the list of officially sponsored projects, and while I was willing to give that community the benefit of the doubt for a bit, Vaxry was a speaker at Omacon and sponsored by Omacom, proving that I was wrong to do so.

Radicle, the peer-to-peer Git forge designed by cryptocurrency weirdos, made a little whoopsy-doodle and left the encryption out of their transport layer and the authentication out of the authentication handshake: https://radicle.dev/2026/09/23/disclosure-of-vulnerability-in-network-protocol

Shot:

Anyone who can observe the network path between two nodes can read the data they exchange as the data is sent in plain text.

Chaser:

Peer authentication in the connection handshake is broken and allows impersonation. An attacker can connect to your node and present a Node ID that is not its own.

Fuck off, no one asked you for your bad opinions.

I only know about one movie, the 2016 biopic of Jacques-Yves Cousteau, and I’m really looking forward to seeing it on IMAX this Friday. (Weird that it’s suddenly in theaters again, I kind of thought it flopped, but see no need to investigate further.)

he would not want professionally shipped code to carry an invisible marker that could raise questions about authorship, compliance, or client policies.

Gee, if only there were some way to create code that doesn’t raise questions about authorship. Some sort of skill that people could learn that allowed them to deliver code to their clients that complied with their policies…

For future reference: “throwing hands” means initiating a fight, it’s a piece of slang that is very distinct from throwing your hands (up/in the air.)

Your behaviour is indistinguishable from that of someone who is defending them, since you’re arguing their side of the lawsuit. The magazine is legally required to publish a reply which is “suc­cinct and con­fine[s] it­self to the sub­ject mat­ter of the con­ten­tious rep­res­ent­a­tion,” not any given reply that Palantir wants to make. As quoted at several removes, “Republik’s managing director Katharina Hemmer said Palantir had wanted the magazine to publish a very lengthy counterstatement to each article. Republik believed the proposed statements did not fairly address or rebut the reporting”

And Vaxry’s defense of the community was “actually, we harassed a transphobe a few months later.” Yes, great, you’re shitty to everyone. Yay.
