Mint is a good recommendation. I’ve used it for most of a decade because I just want my system to work.

Nobody is both that bored and that motivated. Unless paid.

This is all I’ve run across on reverse engineering, so far but it is quite interesting.

Some of the trust comes from eyes on the project thanks to it being open source. This thing got discovered, after all. Not right away, sure, but before it spread everywhere. Same question of trust applies to commercial software too.

Ideally, PR reviews help with this but smaller projects esp with few contributors may not do much of that. I doubt anyone has spent time understanding the software supply chain (SSC) attack surface of their product but that seems like a good next step. Someone needs to write a tool that scans the SSC repos and flags certain measures like the # of maintainers.

PS: I have the worst allergies I’ve had in ages today and my brain is in a histamine fog so maybe I shouldn’t be trying to think about this stuff right now lol cough uuugh blows nose

Is there really anything they couldn’t collect?

Real

Yeah she does.

Right? I guess by saying the hard N word. I’m so fucking fed up with bigots, I tell ya.

Who cares. Let’s focus on what’s actually important here: racist shitbags.

Yup. Always. They can’t see that everyone doesn’t think and act like them.

I guess deflecting/projecting is a common manipulation technique that slimebags learn.

If the first one didn’t convince 'em, I am not sure anything will, including a 20 year dictatorship complete with death squads and final solutions.

It won’t be hard when all oversight is gutted or populated with members of Trump’s Mafia. Once they have enough control they can ensure they always win future elections. Sort of like Putin does.

And sure bears uncanny resemblance to the antichrist (who IIRC was based on some asshole Roman Caesar or something… Who was probably a crooked, narcissistic piece of shit like DT)

I blame greed. Again.

The ethics matter McCarthy referred to pertains to an investigation into Gaetz dating back to 2021, which alleged that, according to The New York Times, “he engaged in sexual misconduct and illicit drug use, shared inappropriate images or videos on the House floor, misused state identification records, converted campaign funds to personal use and accepted impermissible gifts under House rules, among other allegation.”

So Gaetz asked McCarthy to shut down the ethics investigation into all this, which totally sounds like something that an innocent, honest, upstanding person would do. /s

Sounds like a job for our counter intelligence services…right? Or do they just sit on their thumbs and do fuckall like they have since 2016 while this worthless gasbag mobster sells the country out from under us?

His followers would think it is a compliment. Or just beat you for using “them fancee ass collijj werds”

Perhaps, but they’ve been trained to interpret everything in a way that favors Trump. So it is unlikely to snap the majority of them out of their trance.

His base would eat literal shit if told to.
