Oh. That’s what I get for making wild-assed guesses from the first page of search results ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I know almost nothing about BlastPass, but, looking at the first page of search hits, it seemed to have been an Apple implementation vulnerability rather than some vulnerability baked into the standard itself. In general, buffer overflows are implementation-specific.

remindme! 20 years, when mainstream media finally admits it because it doesn’t matter anymore.

Oh wait, they already admitted it.

I think you’re making up a world in your head. Who are these “lots” of “good” Russians who are abroad and whose lives are in realistically danger of state assassination? Not that it has never happened, but you’re blowing things out of proportion. Probably Russia does it at a scale roughly similar to the US.

Reason: Russian bot

Kernel development is for only.

Don’t worry, once they have your credit card number they’ll track you even more. At best you’ll get a £‎2.35 cheque from a class action lawsuit in seven years, assuming they ever even get caught.

You say that as if Google’s platform isn’t also riddled with spyware. “Spying,” AKA advertising, is Google’s bread & butter.

Oooh, making a RISC-V SBC that apes the Pi’s layout & pinout is a clever idea.

I’m a bit put off by them calling this open source. Much of the Raspberry Pi is not open hardware. What are we to call a RISC-V-based version, super-duper-open source?

I wouldn’t trust it in its current state. Maybe things will get cleared up in time, maybe not.

With that said, how necessary is Ventoy, really? How much time & effort is it really saving you?

We’re not interested in you self-promoting your blog posts, especially given its Kekestani meme.

The West created Zionism. Zionism is a Western settler-colonialist project, as was the United States, Canada, Australia, South Africa, and Nazi Germany, to name a few.

Yesterday at !opensource@lemmy.ml:
Ventoy source code contains some unknown BLOBs, still no word on the issue from the dev after months

Right, so you’ve got nothing to back it up. Sure, 1990s, let’s get you back to bed.

Why would you say that Perl “can do so much more” than Python? That assertion sounds indefensible.

• First they came for the lemmygrads, and I did not speak out, because I was not a marxist-lenninist.
• Then they came for the hexbears, and I did not speak out, because I was not a leftist.
• Then they came for the lemmy.mls, and I did not speak out, because I was not a privacy enthusiast.
• Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak for me.
