@BrodieOnLinux watched like an hour+ long primagen vod the other day on this. Wild stuff. I'm scared for what other exploits remain unknown. But it's a necessary evil to find and fix these kinda things.

@BrodieOnLinux

it's incidents like this one, that make me want to keep backup copies of my favourite emulator repos (melonDS comes to mind).

I just hope, that they won't start coming after decomps.

@BrodieOnLinux@mstdn.social I wish Nintendo execs a very terrible rest of their week.

@BrodieOnLinux Hope this escalates into so much corporate stupidity that people realize what a losing game consoles are. If Sony jumps on this train and the console market tanks from it, they wont hurt as bad since they are already entrenched in the PC space, unlike Nintendo. 1/2

@BrodieOnLinux Sad news :ponepensive:

@BrodieOnLinux It seems like they offered money or something like that to them?

@BrodieOnLinux would that really be that pointless to accept the fight and try to stand the project in court? can having more money really make that big difference of who's right here?
acts of nintendo are out of any moral, thats even worse than in that famous meme about cardboard mario

@BrodieOnLinux instructions unclear: allowing emoji when setting passwords, but not when using them for login

(iirc that used to be a [hopefully fixed by now] issue on apple devices)

@BrodieOnLinux Emoji? Heck, I just signed up for a system that disallowed *all* special characters in passwords. I want my laundry to be secure, gosh dang it!

@BrodieOnLinux 😡🚩📀♾️🌠🇱🇹😅

@BrodieOnLinux What is nice from the reporter of the vulnerability is that they investigated deeply and reported in detail, but they overhyped it, with the 9.9 grade and making pressure against us from #OpenPrinting.

In addition, there was the leak which forced us to disclose quickly, before we had a complete set of fixes (but already enough to prevent the described exploit), perhaps cause by the post on X by the reporter, which stayed only visible for short time ...

#CUPS

@BrodieOnLinux why would anyone not run a firewall on any desktop -> block all incoming, allow all outgoing (except 443 UDP, which is just evil)

@BrodieOnLinux If it blocks distribution is it even copyleft anymore? Share-Alike is kind of core to the idea of being copy left, but derivative works arguably aren't if we consider CC-BY-ND to be copyleft.

@BrodieOnLinux their profile is not public.

@BrodieOnLinux fyi @alexmurray , though sorry to tag you if this is just noise

@BrodieOnLinux I've fully noticed since 2019. And pieces of this a few years before.

Now Mozilla is REALLY in for it now! 😬

Less A.I., more Firefox and Thunderbird! 🙄

@BrodieOnLinux@mstdn.social no ​:waaah:​

@BrodieOnLinux is it bad to mention again when they fuck up?

All jokes aside I'm actually genuinely grateful for what you do, i cant name a single other content creator that can dish out content as frequently as you while still maintaining good quality. I regret not watching your videos sooner because i was thrown off by the thumbnails looking silly but ive grown to really love them. Keep evolving , never sell out my friend, much love <3<3 :blobaww: :catjam:

@BrodieOnLinux I can't even imagine how anyone can think of this as "trolling" or "funny"

@BrodieOnLinux Everything that makes money is a "scam" in a world where greed, and living for your job is considered desirable traits.

The fact that this word is now super common... so much so that its definition changed... is pretty telling.

@BrodieOnLinux@mstdn.social They are just like me fr

@BrodieOnLinux The only 2 things i want from firefox is to stop using gtk as a base on linux. having to set gtk theme on kde to try an match my system theme to get Firefox to play nice is no fun. Honestly I'm getting tired of it. the Tab section never matches.

An 2 well less of a two. The money the upper management (CEO CFO CTO etc) makes me not want to give them money. It's as bad as EK.

@BrodieOnLinux That penguin looks ready to threaten you to "install Linux or else"... And I love how it's not a question of if things get tough, but when 🤣

@BrodieOnLinux It's tough, because when Linus scolds someone in public, the perception isn't "this is what happens if you try to bullshit Linus". The perception is "this can happen to *me* in the future if I keep growing in this project and I'm terrified".

I get where you come from but I think we are yet to find a better way.

@BrodieOnLinux I’m extending this metaphor to incorporate the workplace (my workplace).

@BrodieOnLinux Is that the reality of the man, from someone who actually works with him? As an outsider, my impression has always been that if I were to try contributing to Linux and made one tiny mistake, I could be publicly humiliated by the top dog, or probably anyone below him in the chain of command. The whole structure seems extremely unwelcoming and I've so far avoided making any contributions to the project as a result.

Here's another graph that's just depressing

@BrodieOnLinux I'm from Poland, work in IT and never heard about programming socks🤔

@BrodieOnLinux famous western polish femboys and russian 4chaners and discord femboys are the reason

@BrodieOnLinux it's cold here, you know (:

@BrodieOnLinux
I vote no cause my ears still need training in english and listen different accents helps me with that

@BrodieOnLinux English is my 3rd language, but I use subitles if I can't put volume up enough or the sound quality is less than what my ears demands.

@BrodieOnLinux I swear inner USA English is unintelligible.

@BrodieOnLinux probably a good thing you only have a hard drive then or this might've flown under the radar! I did notice some slowness but that is bad
