Either:

  • The report incriminates him, and Johnson is defending a paedophile.
  • The report exonerates him, and Johnson is actively preventing Gaetz' exoneration.

Both options make Johnson a shitstain.

Would they? The XZ utils backdoor was only discovered by what can only be described as an insanely attentive developer who happened to be testing something unrelated and who happened to notice a small increase in the startup time of the library, and was curious enough to go and figure out why.

Open does not mean "can't be backdoored".

You must understand, young Hobbit, it takes a long time to say anything in Old Entish. And we never say anything unless it is worth taking a long time to say.

Nah, but there were some Linux evangelists claiming this couldn't possibly happen to Linux and it only happened to Windows because Windows is bad. And it was your own fault for getting this BSOD if you're still running Windows.

And sure, Windows bad and all, but this one wasn't really Microsofts fault.

It's only an Oxford comma if it's from the region of Oxford. Otherwise it's just sparkling interpunction.

Techwise it probably doesn't, but then there's marketeers, sales, accountants, legal, etc...

I don't think about them at all to be honest. Total disinterest.

I'm not sure if Milei has been in power for long enough to have any sort of meaningful impact.

I don't expect him to have a positive impact, mind. But it always takes a bit of time before things change.

Client running code should always be considered compromisable, that's security 101. Relying on kernel module checks is a terrible practice, and not a fundamental guarantee of safety either.

Good, secure anti-cheat happens serverside. But that's harder and less broadly applicable, so Epic doesn't want to bother with it.

Apparently she received some funding that was traced back to Russia and is effectively acting as a spoiler candidate.

They actively call my family members "pedophiles" for being gay. I don't like it when they make sweeping generalisations and call my family evil.

So forgive me for thinking you're a reprehensible person if you support a person as vile as Trump. He started the mudslinging, not us.
