Yes, it sounds that way, but the event you (and they) describe has never happened.

I thought one of the really important rules of using format strings was that you never let user input itself enter the format string, e.g. you'd never (shellscript examples) go printf "$input" versus printf "%s" &

8chan if I recall formed because 4chan did away with /pol/ way way back for being too toxic to the rest of the site (it's meant to contain the scum, not breed it). 4chan eventually re-added /pol/, and 8chan, well,

4chan might've cracked down on the racism, like, a decade ago, in the moot era. Have you been there lately? /pol/ took over and basically homogenized every board.

Happened in the United States as well (notoriously: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlisle_Indian_Industrial_Sch... ). I was genuinely surprised to learn this in high school (for me, 2017-2021 or so) - not because it&#x

Interesting. I've lost a lot of weight (at my lightest in years) since 2020-01-01, when my New Years' Resolution was to do 16:8 IF. Eventually left the subreddit for it because it seemed like it was goading people into forming eat

ffmpeg as a service seems neat... ffmpeg itself isn't super intuitive and beefier files heat my laptop up pretty bad. The only issues would be the usual ones regarding figuring out load distribution between servers, figuring out how

Use proprietary services, get proprietary service. It can't be any surprise, can it? Discord is well known for doing the same.

Perhaps, but this doesn't discount the article's arguments.

I have a feeling if this was as simple as you say, distro maintainers would be doing it.

As much as I would like to take that award I don't think it fares well given how many "Just buy this $400 gadget..." comments there are here. It's dumb to have to change a site's code to be able to read it. But if

You can always tweak the CSS yourself or disable it altogether. Or use Lynx, in which this site looks fine.

This article is six months old. What's happened since, and does it put to rest or does it emphasize the concerns? To me it sounds like "Should you do this thing scientists agree is safe? This one dude disagrees."
