History is filled with workers of any kind standing up, speaking politics as part of their unions, taking action as one and having the black sheep marginalized.

No, we won't be making games together. We are not in this together. We will never be.

Polarization like... staying tf away from racists, homophobics, genocide supporters and in general toxic people? Yeah, i guess that's the kinda of polarization that i can support. Majority or not.

How do you know what the majority wants or that even matters?

Simply because some sociopaths have stopped seeing themselves as active members of the society, doesn't necessarily make them neither a majority nor a healthy group of people.

To honor basic human rights is "poisoning"? That's some strong projection.

Nobody threatened your very obscured sense of free expression. They didn't ban them from the platform (even that would be discussable), they simply stopped interacting with a bunch of very weird and intolerant people. It's their right to ignore toxic people.

I cannot verify that this guy is a contributor to Godot. Nothing shows up on his main github account relevant to godot. Only with that new fork.

Don't get me wrong, Godot did ban few accounts. Those totally weird hecklers who made issues and PR's trolling against basic human rights.

Again, if you have a proof of a ban campaign of ACTUAL contributors, please show it.

Oh come on it's not such a big brain moment the fact that there are more quality elements involved for projects beyond a license that someone would take in account. I'm pretty sure you can think many just by yourself but elude you at this moment for "reasons" that have exactly to do with sympathizing with the main developer or contributors.

Now that the location of the supposed "attack by stalker" has been geolocated by someone affiliated to Bellingcat[1] and obviously that (if ever happened) had nothing to do with services or bots that share aviation public data; can we move past the, arguably naively made, smokescreen and ask what this supposed to disorient us from?

I mean, the hypocrisy of using a jet plane instead of driving for 40 minutes in your "environmental green" car is a thing[2], but shouldn't be enough to randomly ban journalists.

Image caption triggered my greek cheese-seller's nerves. Those are not "slabs of feta cheese" shown but mizithra or anthotyro.

Now for the important part. Region locking is completely idiotic. If i was living abroad, i wouldn't dare to buy, for example, imported greek feta. White cheese is not the kind that matures. They are very delicate has to stay fresh. Surely there must be standards of HOW a certain kind of cheese is made but not where.

Shameful and regressive corporate tactics. This is part of the main kernel source code, not some private module. This is obviously against any sense of openness and inclusive development process. If a certain person has something to offer that is technically correct, must be able to do so in any secure way he wants.

This is plain face control.

Oh no no i didn't mean that it's happening because of/for the immigration. Just saying that European Union is already in honeymoon with the far right so such policies are only to be expected.

Well, it has been only few months since when a ""study"" released, ordered by the EU parliament, where the authors were asking for a european firewall similar to the chinese one.

Between drowning refugees and immigrants in Mediterranean sea, shooting them at the borders and throwing whoever survive in concentration camps, it's only logical to go after the local dissidents too.

I do agree with the premises, i don't agree with your conclusion.

Yes only a part of patches would be marked as such. That, major or minor, part would simply mean that people won't have to reinvent the particular wheel, as happened in this case. People won't be missing critical _discovered_ changes, the vulnerability would be discussed, recognized in its totality (PoC, documentation etc) and proper patches will be offered. There have been cases where LTS backports were old revisions of bad patches.

I think that baking LTS kernels is unnecessarily closer to an artistic approach of doing things.

While RedHat's backporting might not be great, i believe that upstream would do good if they would change their mind about having or not a well defined vulnerability identification and notification system.

It's understandable that almost every piece of kernel code could potentially be a bad actor thus it would be tough to identify if every fix has security implications or not.

Still there must be a middle ground around common exploitation methods.
