The touch screen in my 2013 laptop has been working fine since… 2013, running only Debian and Debian-derivatives.

Newsletters? Google killed RSS so we could have newsletters?

It’s hard for people to give advice when you are so vague about your concerns and your threat model.

Maybe im wrong

Correct.

Some similarities but the main difference in my eyes is that Linus doesn’t have a permanent victim complex.

Unsurprising. You don’t have to follow Hector Martin on social media for very long to learn that he’s a petulant, indignant, self-righteous drama queen.

No, I said, “I like the slacks you’re wearing.” They would go nicely with a red hat.

What ISP do you use that makes you trust Cloudflare more than your ISP? You must really be between a rock and a hard place.

Another corporate social media platform, what could go wrong?

I’m trying to figure out what that looks like. So you mean they’re just peer to peer? I’d be interested to see one of those, sounds cool.

This breach is worse than just a website’s database being leaked. These are info-stealer malware logs. Meaning that you had malware on one of your devices that recorded you typing your credentials into websites and then the logs of that malware were publicly leaked.

Before changing all of your passwords (and setting up a password manager if you don’t already use one) you need to identify which of your devices was compromised and wipe it.

If you change all your passwords from the compromised device then the malware will just record all of your new passwords.

The article seems like a rebuttal to a strawman argument to me.

You’d have to be pretty oblivious (or a non-software engineer) to express the premise of this article as an opinion.

The only interesting part to me was asking specifically what types of functionality are being delegated to libraries instead of (re-)implemented in the program itself. The author should ask this same question of some Rust and Javascript programs of similar size, so we can see if left-pad in Javascript is just a meme or if programmers armed with convenient package managers are delegating trivial one-liners to external libraries.
