The choice to freeze a Linux kernel has always been about being fit for a particular purpose, never about being able to run hypothetical hardware from the 2040s. You're building a strawman.

You'll also be running the kernel with all the recent CVEs unpatched, and boy there's a LOT of them. You know, all those ones that have been written up, with exploit code out there in the open. And not only kernel, userspace code (browsers) too. If you plan to go online, like EVER, might as well cut the chase short and paste your bank credentials in the next comment.

Many CVE's are somewhat junk of the form if you already have 3 ways to legitimately become root, you can use this 4th way too. OR (samn close to) OMG!!! Denial of Service attack, you can turn off the power and nobody can access the server!!! RED ALERT!!!

Others are real and need to be addressed, but the junk does more harm than good by distracting from real issues.

Do you haters even notice how quickly you have to shift your goalposts? When Mythos combed through Firefox codebase you were all "waaaaah, almost none of these bugs are CVEs!!!!!111 It's all SLOOOOOOOP!!!!!!111". And that was what, like 5 months ago? Well, here's the CVEs you wanted. So, where exactly are the goalposts now?

O well. Remember that stuff you people were oh-so-fond of saying when coal miners and oil industry workers were protesting the loss of their jobs (sorry, "JERBS") to green transformation?

You know, the thing about march of technology, about buggy whip manufacturers, about society not owing them the preservation of their jobs (sorry, "JERBS") when newer technology obsoletes them, and about how they should retrain to be PV panel installers? Yeah, that thing?

Well, guess you now get to stand in front of a mirror and repeat all of that. I can play the world's tiniest violin in background for you as you do it. Karma's a bitch, eh?

I'm sure your humongous brain can handle the intrisics of PV panel installations.

You know, I always marvel at the level of brainwashing it took to convice leftists to hate cars: a transport system that operates on my schedule, on my route, with no walking to stop involved, no waiting in wind or rain at said stop, which doesn't leave without me if I'm late, with no transfers needed, where I control the AC setting, the music, which doesn't put screens in front of my face with the same 3 ads on a loop during my hour-long journey, in which I can ALWAYS comfortably sit not just during off-hours, need I go on?

So you mean it's a system that can only work well in a fictional universe, and even there it requires the existence of a magical technology that literally makes shit out of nothing, i.e. the universal replicator? Thank you, I couldn't have put it better.

Not many people in the U.S. like communism. The problem comes from folks on the right painting everything they don't like as communist, and from painting socialism with the same brush. They are not the same. Socialism is a spectrum, with the moderate end wanting things like guaranteed medical care, K-12 schooling, TVA, police and fire protection, etc. and the extreme end wanting governments to buy all the big companies and give the money back to the people.

A lot of folks on the right paint even the moderate end as communism, which is an attitude that's far-removed from any reasoned analysis of objective reality. And they do this because blowhard politicians use the word "communism" as a shibboleth/dog whistle, along with words like "woke", "DEI", etc., deliberately distorting the meaning of words to score cheap political points. It's not the positions the right takes that offend the left. It is the massively distorted caricatures of the left's positions that the right has to use to scare people into voting for them.

Swap "communism" with "fascism", "woke" with "racist", "DEI" with "discrimination", "left" with "right" and vice versa, and so on. and tell me with a straight face it's not just as true as before the swap. Next, tell me, when was the last time you heard about someone getting fired from job/public office because of communism allegations, and when was the last time same thing happened because some leftist snowflake was triggered.

I'm not so sure about statistics being a good way to detect if racism exists. For example I could make the claim that NBA is racist against white players based on statistics. That's obviously silly.

Obviously silly? There are people who'd be making an argument that every team should get some white players because of their unique history, perspective, and things only they can bring in into the team, because strength in diversity, yadda yadda.

Would be, if they weren't also fucking hypocrites.

My spouse and I greatly enjoyed Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, and consider it to be one of the best Star Trek shows ever done. But we didn't renew our Paramount subscription to watch it. This was due to Paramount and Ellison turning CBS news into Trump's mouthpiece, and doing things like spike Sixty Minutes episodes which were critical of Trump's deportations and only aired after it had essentially been accidentally leaked online, months after it was supposed to run https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/cbs-airs-60-minutes-report-on-trump-deportations-that-was-suddenly-pulled-a-month-ago. The real final straw for us was when Paramount became the only channel to watch Trump's MMA event in front of the White House.

As I discussed with my spouse, I could imagine a Star Trek episode involving a world where there was a terrible media corporation and people kept supporting it despite the evil it did because it had their regular entertainment. And then, I could see what Captain Pike would have said to those people in some speech asking if that's really worth it? So, what would Captain Pike have me do? I guess in the actual ethos of Star Trek, a show which cares about progress, and diversity, and accepting people of all sorts, and standing for democracy and freedom against oppressors wherever they are, we will not give money to Paramount under its current leadership. And given Ellison's new threats, it seems like that decision was even more justified.

In famous words of Michael Jordan, "conservatives buy sneakers too". You were saying Paramount may be worth subscribing to? Thanks for the pointer!

You know, it used to be that "where to get a cup of coffee while on the go" didn't have to be a political decision. Thanks for ruining that world by trying to push your politics into *fucking* *everything*.

And say that if you've had a bug in your code for 8 years and the code is actually in production and being used then the bug wasn't all that important. AI seems to be finding a lot of bugs that people just weren't bothering to find because why would you? I have certainly come across bugs in my own code that don't really hurt anything or that require such very specific and uncommon circumstances that I'm hardly surprised I didn't fix them sooner. Yeah a machine can and we'll find them but so what? So how much is an LLM fixing esoteric bugs Worth to you? In a few years you might be eating bugs because of it...

Guess what, copyfail was not only found by AI, but also was introduced in 2017, that's 9 years ago, so by your logic something that allows a user to just run a python script and become root is also "unimportant slop"?
