I hate this meme. The point is to at least make them resort to hitting you with the $5 wrench, at which point they're probably committing a more serious offence than what you're up for (dependent on country).

Zscaler enrages me with their use of the term "zero trust" in marketing, because due to their MitM-ing of TLS, they become a single-point-of-interception for all your organisation's traffic. "100%-trust" would bet

There are very few pieces of free software that don't lean very heavily on top of a mountain of other free software that make it possible, and I think the author would be surprised how much of that was written by people who strongly di

See also the "lite assertions" mode @ https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/LibstdcxxDebugMode for glibc, however these are less well documented and it's less clear what performance impact these measures are expected

If they ever get liquidated I wonder who's going to end up with that massive dataset of photos of people looking like a tit. Or perhaps they'll pivot..

It's the idea that every application can near-arbitrarily choose a bespoke-but-exact mix of versions of every underlying package and assume they all work together. This is same attitude that leads to seemingly every application on plan

The main problem here is wanting to hang on to the "bespoke version soup" attitude that language package managers encourage (and is totally unsustainable). The alternative Mise doesn't appear to have any ability to understand
