I suspect part of it is that the mitigation for DirtyFrag covers it, so everyone who blocked all the modules in question when that had only an incomplete patch probably hasn't unblocked them yet. I think this is the 4th patch for these modules, and only got a new name rather than just "there's still a way to get this code to do the wrong thing" because a different outside team found this one.

The Krakenburger Desktop Environment?

Yup - I also have a speech notch on my left ear. So I prefer cars with right hand drive.

Yelling doesn't work either. The problem is SINAD: Signal/(Noise+Distortion). Yelling amplifies the signal and the distortion and makes echos off the walls too. When talking to a deaf person like me, first turn off other sources of sound: TV, radio, lawn mowers, chain saws - get everyone else to shut up and then just talk a little more loudly and a little more slowly maybe as well.

Skynet became self-aware on May 1, 2026, after learning at a geometric rate, and discovered humans did not like it.

Of course the gov has access. Read up on Snowdon.

Worse than the stock market. At least in the stock market you can buy and hold and ride the market up.

Yeah, and the person who released the information first was operating in an "if I noticed this, doing only as much as I'm doing, surely attackers would also notice" mode. Possibly some patches these days are sufficiently obvious as to their correctness and also effect that they should first become public as a set of stable releases. This was a kind of special case, as CopyFail was the combination of some code doing something strange with one user not being prepared for it, and fixed the user. If there are other users that also aren't prepared, fixing them isn't going to be subtle.

How shadows and reflections move when you're 10 milies from a mostly flat surface a thousand miles across is legitimately hard to analyze for a visual system that evolved on the ground, especially if you throw in small periodic surface orientation variations. Given how complicated it is to explain rare rainbow-related phenomena like sun dogs, it would be surprising if we'd identified and explained everything that can appear when flying above the ocean.

Hmm, I used to build military observation systems and the few things I looked at are obvious lens reflections making dots that, if you try to chase them, keep moving as you turn. With complex lens systems, you can get multiple dots. I have even seen a big spot caused by my aircraft window when flying over clouds, so the effect is not limited to a camera system - an Airbus A320 window will also do!

While you're at it, you also need to block installing esp4, esp6, and rxrpc, for, y'know, reasons.

These deluded commies didn't get the memo that the CCCP is no more.

Yup, the wealthy live on loans. They never pay tax. Tax is for the little people.

Canada, Norway, Azerbaijan and Venezuela sure are not complaining about oil shortages. Also, Saudi, UAE, and Iraq are making more money selling less oil from their west coast terminals and pipelines than before, so they are not complaining either.
