@__phantomderp does rustc / llvm actually support all of the platforms the kernel supports? or is rust in the core kernel going to end up leading to ports getting dropped?

@steve_coding @MalwareTechBlog I'm not sure what your local universities look like, but we've had undergrads make incredible contributions on their work terms. It really depends on the student. We pay them of course

@VE7FIM @ecnepsnai you seem to be assuming that the fbi are complete idiots, when none of us in fact have any idea what is actually true. it is worth considering, given the serious response to the investigation results so far, that there may (or may not) be more to this than we know about

@ecnepsnai I also am skeptical of a lot of this; the supermicro BS for example. These spook stories are hard to judge though. Before all the documents came out, I would have laughed at anyone trying to tell me about prism

@ecnepsnai The allegation seems to be something else: that the Huawei equipment is capable of acting as a transceiver outside the normal cellular bands for purposes of espionage

@ColeSouth @mikebeckhamsm why not put your money where your mouth is? I avoid amazon at almost all costs these days, for exactly these reasons. it's generally less work to shop somewhere else than sort through the trash heap anyway

@HarmonInst @azonenberg Digikey will definitely do special less-than-full-roll orders for you. I do wonder, though, if they order extra trays / tubes from manufacturers for splitting up full orders among different customers. Generally the tubes of TI chips I get are all in genuine TI tubes.

@THICCtorianChad LMAO they blocked me

@THICCtorianChad I can't tell whether or not you're unironically citing the daily mail

@ArmsControlWonk @US_Stratcom They probably decided to tighten things up for the time being. Nobody wants any oopsies to be their fault right now

@whiten0iz That doesn't address the question. There are a lot of problems with outside cats, but nobody is forcing them outside. Your assertion that they are "stuck outside in winter, forced to huddle together for warmth" is totally wrong.

@atomicthumbs @MT6572A I have complete trust in the strength of cryptographic primitives, but the only actual implementations I trust to keep my data from prying eyes are

gpg

@atomicthumbs @MT6572A "it's encrypted"

@Apple remember when they decided it would be a good idea to put glass panels in the front *and* the back? and then you couldn't make a phone call while holding it. lol

@stratusNyx I had a couple of profs that did this in uni. I never understood how this wasn't a serious conflict-of-interest ethics violation

@hasherezade @PayloadPl @VessOnSecurity arguably things like leftpad are best not pulled from random people's github, but included in a standard library published by a trusted organization, or something

[A few million pixels @itsybitsydots]

@hasherezade @PayloadPl @VessOnSecurity yeah it absolutely does not justify it. I think the problem is that shitty people are out there, and they will do shitty things. the npm model unfortunately seems to be very effective at enabling them to do those things
