  1. Did you know Hitler drank water and breathed oxygen?

  2. When all of BRICS get sanctioned, we might see projects getting forked into "Free" versions, outside of the US jurisdiction. Not many projects can afford to ban all Russian, Chinese, Indian, Brazilian contributors.

  3. 6 months from now, Mozilla activists will be throwing paint on oil paintings in museums.

  4. Rust cultists now crying because this wasn't a buffer overflow.

  5. He is. He failed to raise his daughter, he's not a man.

  6. The thing is, Rust bet everything on one kind of guardrails, and oversold it as if it would deal with a lot of problems. Rust bloggers love to use broken C code mixed with C++ code, to show "the Rust version is better," but it only shows they're either dishonest, or very incompetent.
    86
  7. This is not an open source project. This is an international effort to advance the C++ language, which is one of the most essential programming languages in the world, together with C. If you weren't alarmed yet with something as crucial as the Linux kernel being sabotaged, this is the time. Your Windows OS is written mostly in C++, most games are written in C++, your web browser is written in C++. And there's a large overlap between the C and C++ ISO working groups; if the C++ group is banning people for this, the C group will be doing something similar, as they're funded by mostly the same corporations, and are run by mostly the same people. Over 90% of all computer software that matters is running C or C++ components.

  8. Germany is buying Russian oil and gas faster than ever in history. Most of it passes through Ukrainian pipelines, which gives them a cut of the sale. If that doesn't make any sense, this won't make any sense either.
    63
  9. "We will create and operate our own spam bots."
    61
  10. Remember how quickly X11 imploded? Remember how quickly OpenOffice imploded? Remember how quickly MySQL imploded? We're seeing this again. Who else is excited for GNU HURD?
    57
  11. I bet the Notepad++ dev has an altar to Fauci.
    44
  12. Now just watch as Stroustrup himself is going to get kicked out. He has no principles.
    42
  13. It's okay, there will be new "perfect language" product launched next month, and these "developers" jump on the bandwagon again. EDIT: please update us, a week from now, about the amount of salt this video generated. Publish the downvotes and hatemail this video generated. Remember kids, salt only makes rust worse.

  14.  @nerdybunny9975  Linus himself as not done much programming in the kernel for a long time. His software engineering skills are just about average, git was a huge mess until people actually pressured him to accept significant changes. He was a good project manager, being very strict with quality control, when accepting contributions. But now he decided to become a total lunatic, we can't trust him with code anymore. Any day now, he might start deleting out parts of the kernel as "revenge" for Ukraine and Palestine.

  15. Karl Marx was also a bourgeois. In his Manifesto, despite calling for the Lumpenproletariat to overthrow and exterminate the bourgeoisie, he also explained that the post-revolution world should be governed by a class of intellectual bourgeois (such as himself) to not allow the unwashed masses to undo the revolution. His middle name was "Hypocrite."
    36
  16. Back in the day, Java programmers would brag about how Java programs could be just as "fast and efficient" as C programs when managing memory... if you had at least 7x more memory than your Java program needs. These delusional "engineers" have been around for along time.
    35
  17.  @marmadukemontague4081  Did the Orange Man ever do that? Or is that just yet another TDS fantasy?
    33
  18. Linus damaged the Linux project beyond repair. There's no going back now.
    31
  19. That outright proves it was intentional and malicious to make it opt-out. Enjoy a lawsuit or two, Mozilla.
    31
  20. More likely, 25% of Google's code is copyright infringement.
    31
  21.  @mortadelaok  Rust programmers thinking they have superpowers is almost a norm. Most of them think they can choose their gender too.
    29
  22.  @newfaith912  You glow.
    27
  23. It's boolean-fluid.
    24
  24. And on top of that, memory is just one type of resource that can leak, among many others.
    23
  25. ​ @SaanMigwell  We have the source, yes. But we don't have the funding, the organization, nor the reputation of the official project. They're not destroying the source code, they're destroying the project.
    22
  26. Definitive lolcow. Even has a fruit farms thread dedicated to him.
    22
  27. Look up his behavior in other communities. He's a sociopath, he's willing to torch any community down if they don't bend to his will.
    21
  28. Quantum Computing is like Cold Fusion, regarding the promises and the funding. And they're under an Inverse Moore's Law: the bigger (more qubits) they are, the harder they are to build and use. The more qubits you try to use, the harder it is to maintain entanglement, the harder it is to get any result out of the computation. It seems as if the laws of nature stop "quantum magic" from manifesting itself at any significant scale.
    21
  29. Pretty sure that's just Arab money talking. With the next "policy update" they'll ban offending Islam, then let's see you call them "based" too.
    21
  30. AI bros, Quantum bros, Crypto bros, they all get riled up when their fake gods get blasphemed. They'll soon flood the comments with "just use AI to fight AI, let the AI filter out the slop" followed with "let the AI fix the bug", and "let the AI write the whole source code."
    21
  31. By selling followers and engagement, before people realize it has no value.
    21
  32. Lunduke, you're wrong. ESR was never a legendary programmer. He became the maintainer of some old email software somebody else created, he forked off some NTP project, he wrote some data import/export scripts for CVS, git, etc. The only thing he wrote himself was something for the Linux kernel, and it was promptly rejected. There's a reason why "Nobody Likes Eric S. Raymond" was a meme.
    20
  33.  @newfaith912  Still glowing.
    19
  34. You're assuming the malicious agent is dead broke, and doesn't have a couple hundred bucks to sabotage your project.
    18
  35.  @Maxjoker98  Ukraine was only mad that Germany was cutting them off from the transaction, by getting it directly from Russia. They're more than happy with Germany and the rest of Europe still buying Russian oil and gas, as long as it goes through Ukrainian pipelines.
    17
  36. The fact that you group C and C++ in this imaginary "C/C++" language makes everyone else glad you love Rust so much. Please don't ever leave Rust.
    17
  37. Reminder that even KDE uses Glib, a core component of GNOME.
    16
  38. They're better off keeping it quiet until the lawyers sort it out. There's definitely some blame-shifting going on behind the scenes.
    16
  39. The majority of the vitriol we get from Rust cultists is how wonderful it is at handling memory, including avoiding memory leaks. In the "The Rust Programming Language", 15.6, it claims that its wonderful memory safety guarantees "make it difficult" to have memory leaks. The harder you backpedal now, the harder we will laugh at you.
    14
  40. Nobody wants that. How do these people find employment?
    14
  41. I moved to emacs some 15 years ago, what is a "Notepad++"?
    13
  42. I feel so safe when I stare at an out-of-memory kernel panic in my computer. It's very useful.
    13
  43. No computer is as safe as when it crashes with an Out-Of-Memory kernel panic.
    12
  44. Nice backpedaling. Here its, from the "The Rust Programming Language" book: "Rust’s memory safety guarantees make it difficult, but not impossible, to accidentally create memory that is never cleaned up (known as a memory leak)." You can't just pretend you never heard this bogus claim about memory leaks in Rust. Mald and dilate.
    10
  45. Free content for Louis Rossmann then, it should make for an entertaining video.
    10
  46. The only mistake was you being allowed on the internet.

  47. The Woke Group 21.

  48. The problem is that it doesn't look dumb. You'll get a detailed description of the problem in the code. It will all look correct. You'll spend some 15 minutes reading the bug report, the bug description, comparing with your code... then eventually you spot it's describing some bogus interaction between modules, that doesn't actually happen. You reject the bug report, you ban the sender. You think you've won, you spotted and rejected the fraud. In reality, you lost. You wasted valuable time dealing with a bogus report. Now imagine having 1 or 2 reports per week, then it increases to 100 reports per week. You know there are a couple of legitimate bug reports in there, but how can you tell which one?
    10
  49. Linus already bent the knee, why would they go after him again?
    9
  50. Mald and dilate. It's getting fixed, unlike your Mac and Windows vulnerabilities, that stay in place until the NSA decides to switch over to newer ones.

  51. Greg Korah-Hartman glows.

  52. Not the first time the Smithsonian tried to peddle lies. They lied about the invention of the airplane, falsely claiming Samuel Langley's aerodrome flew, when there was no evidence or witness that it ever flew. For 40 years, the Smithsonian denied the Wrights, when everyone else in the world, even the French, recognized them as the true pioneers of flying.
    8
  53. Because 1) the decree (not law) is broad enough to forbid all contracts relating to software and 2) legal precedent said that conforming to a license such as the GPL counts as entering a legal contract.
    8
  54.  @AsAs-nd7gy  "Just accept your guilt and apologize to the bolshevik inquisitors" is not being neutral.
    8
  55. Fun fact: web browsers are the only type of software where the cache makes it slower.
    7
  56. Yeah, Firefox is gone. Now I need an alternative to Thunderbird.
    7
  57. Her Wikipedia claims all she ever did was write a LED driver for Android. Linux had LED drivers long before Android existed. In fact, plenty of Computer Sciences/Engineering courses had a project/assignment to write some I/O driver for Linux (or Minix) to control LEDs or step motors; it's not a particularly challenging task. She did basically nothing, and got into a position of privilege in the project, and immediately started controlling everyone's language. She's the one that banned "master/slave", "whitelist", "blacklist."
    7
  58. Pretending the hardest, yes, they were.
    7
  59. If the attacker can get into your "protected" local network through some other means, and send out UDP packets, you're still vulnerable. That mere intrusion of your local network trivially turns into escalation to root on all desktop machines. Some distros will even share discovered printers by default, so the user doesn't even have to start a printing job on the malicious printer, that will do that step too.
    7
  60. Are you a tourist? Arch is just as bad. Why would you brag about using a woke distro?
    7
  61.  @zyxzevn  You can do the same in C, using `malloc()` and no `free()`. Memory safety has never been easier!
    7
  62. "Incorrect 1/3 of the time" is absurdly optimistic. The error rate grows up so fast for each new qubit you add, we have to ask "how many nines in 99.9999...." to talk about the error rate.
    7
  63.  @yoppindia  Selling has nothing to do with copyright, or kids wouldn't end up sued for downloading and sharing movies and games for free.
    7
  64. The real question is: will Bryan learn to pronounce "Mozilla" before it disappears?
    7
  65. He's been a lolcow for a while, loud enough to earn him a thread on the fruit farms.
    7
  66. 3 of these myths were taught to me in university, by my professors. You're a bit off the mark by blaming the media; even the academic history books spread the myths. The Ada Lovelace myth I figured out on my own very quickly, but the others I never bothered to look up because they felt like irrelevant factoids.
    7
  67. Who's this Shuah Khan that's calling the shots? Her Wikipedia page says all she contributed was LED drivers for Android... talk about diversity hire...
    6
  68. Yeah, now the project needs to set up a payment system in order to even exist. And the legitimate user reporting a bug, needs to register with some payment system. You clearly didn't think this through, huh? That's a sure way to kill all community participation with the project.
    6
  69.  @yoeight  Mald and dilate.
    6
  70. You're way off the mark. Same thing happened with video games. It's the lack of gate keeping. Open Source threw away the main gate keeping requirement from Free Software, which was freedom. So it immediately got taken over by corporate interests, and now ideological agents.
    6
  71. ​@paulw5039 not even on paper. I challenge you to find a single paragraph of Karl Marx promoting freedom in any form.
    6
  72.  @pavel9652  You're clearly one of the scammers shown in this video. Yes, that report shown was malicious. You have to be very dishonest to claim otherwise.
    6
  73.  @kvdrr  Tell us you didn't watch the video, without telling us you didn't watch the video.

  74. I tested gimp 2.99 last month, it was crashing a lot even when only doing basic pixel editing (no filters, no plugins). Thankfully gimp 2.10 was able to open the same .xcf files, and allowed me to finish my work without having to start from scratch.
    6
  75. And how long does it take you to tell it doesn't make sense? You get a full bug report, with "steps to reproduce", with "sample configuration", with "compilation options", with code fragments showing where the bug is manifesting, etc. How can you tell it's slop? How long does it take to notice something is off? You're thinking of 1 AI slop bug report out of 10 reports. What if it's 90 out of 100?
    6
  76. That's what he meant, yes. But there are plenty of ways to break into a private network, and this vulnerability becomes a "free telnet root login with no password" for an attacker.
    6
  77. It's even easier to add security holes in proprietary software. If that convoluted backdoor was implemented in a proprietary Microsoft DLL, we might have never known about it.
    5
  78. Struggle Sessions. Linux is undergoing a Cultural Revolution, there will be nothing left.
    5
  79. It wasn't the first. Claiming it was the first, is the myth.
    5
  80. The bug caused by a real bug, that was a real incident in 1947. It wasn't the first computer bug, by a long shot. It wasn't the first use of the word bug to refer to a malfunction. Thomas Edison used it in 1878; the term was common for both mechanical machines and electrical circuits, before computers existed.
    5
  81. If Rust programmers spent half the time they proselytize in actually coding a kernel, they'd be done by now.
    5
  82. Not to mention, they increase waste of RAM and disk storage. There's also a lot of compatibility problems when said app needs to break out of the container in order to interact with the system. It's common to find users reporting bugs about certain packages, only to "resolve" the bug by installing a native package. And let's not even get into the whole security nightmare that these packages introduce, by bundling their own runtime environment, that might not get security updates regularly like your distro.
    5
  83. This is not "open source." This is an industry standard. Most of the software in the world runs either C or C++ code. There's a large overlap between the C and C++ working groups; if this guy is banned from the C++ WG, he's also banned from the C WG. This will have consequences to the Microsoft compiler, the Google compiler, the GNU compiler, etc. It's far beyond "open source." This is equivalent to the International System of Units deciding to sabotage the meter and the second units.
    5
  84. Are you aware that KDE runs on top of GNOME libraries for nearly 2 decades now?
    4
  85. Time to check out Enlightenment again.
    4
  86. Simone said it's "been running on everything for 20 years", but systemd is only 14 years old.
    4
  87. Exactly. Everyone bragging about their UDP ports not being exposed to the internet, are just one extra step away from getting rooted. You don't even need to break out of the Android sandbox to send out this trivial UDP packet, so your smart TV, your phone, etc, could be triggering the exploit in your local network.
    4
  88. You're terminally online.
    4
  89. Looked him up on the fruit farms yesterday. He appears to be big enough of a lolcow to do this.
    4
  90. Gnome Shell is implemented in JavaScript. I don't see JavaScript programmers bragging about how their magic programming language solves memory problems. In fact, most JavaScript programmers are so ashamed of their own language, they say "I'm a Node.js programmer."
    4
  91.  @rapamune  The main issue does not use buffer overflows. Keep crying, Ruster.
    3
  92.  @marmadukemontague4081  Trump Derangement Syndrome.
    3
  93. It's not so much a design problem; it's a lack of funding and interest for the fundamental components of the system. Some old software, despite "working fine," is so ugly and convoluted, there's no saving, you're better off just writing a new implementation from scratch. See fontconfig for instance.
    3
  94. The bug is real. It wasn't the first computer bug. It wasn't the first bug that was a real bug. It wasn't the first use of the word "bug" for that purpose. Thomas Edison did use the term "bug" to refer to a malfunction in one of his machines, in 1878. That term was in common usage for both mechanical machines and electric circuits, long before that 1947 incident.

  95. He literally isn't. He said, "why didn't you confess to your crimes so the show trial could be concluded quickly and we could go back to work?" He's an enabler, and his legacy will be taken from him, and burnt to the ground.
    3
  96.  @tehehe5929  Sorry, I forgot to include idiots into the equation. Nobody wants AI surveilling their computers, except for idiots. And Windows users. But I repeat myself.
    3
  97. Nobody knows what the vulnerability is, and there's no fix available yet.
    3
  98. If the attacker gets into your network, and can send out UDP datagrams, you're vulnerable. So a non-root exploit on something like a router, a media player, a smart appliance, etc, can trivially root your desktop, because the UDP call is coming from inside the house.
    3
  99.  @volodyanarchist  Stroustrup said people should not have taken offense AND the author should have admitted to his guilt and changed the title as was demanded.
    3
  100. This is just as exploitable through TCP. The protocol has nothing to do with it. It's the bad architecture, plus bad default configs.
    3
  101. Good question. Look up what Linux (the kernel) does by default, when it enters an out-of-memory state: it kills random processes to try and free up some memory. If you're very lucky, the process that was just killed can be restarted later with no major consequences. But if there's a process that's ever consuming more and more memory, no process can be ever restarted. So by the time you can manually kill the leaky process, the entire system can be in such a bad state, it might not be responsive anymore. Now imagine the program you just had to kill, is talking directly to your GPU through Wayland and OpenGL/Vulkan, and it left the GPU locked up. Whilst the kernel can clean up memory after killing a process, it's much harder to reset hardware back to a working state.

  102. 24:09 I bet you $1000 this dossier was authored by "Coraline Ada" Ehmke.
    3
  103.  @marsovac  It's quite common for newly-added printers to be automatically shared on the network. The same attacker can start a printing job. Note that all this network traffic does not require root privileges. A malicious Android app on your smart TV can launch this attack on your local network, including starting off the printing job, without any special privileges.

  104. Always remember to use Archive Today, not the Web Archive. We've known for more than a decade, the Wayback Machine has content deleted on request, they burn down evidence all the time.

  105. With all the salt coming out of this story, it will only rust harder.
    3
  106. Rust programmers earned every bit of hatred and mockery they get.
    2
  107.  @lame_lexem  Because you still can't grasp what the vulnerability was. I'd say, think about it, but Rust cultists can't.
    2
  108. Does the CoC not apply to Linus? Who else is CoC-immune? If your rules are blatantly unfair, we better make it very explicit.
    2
  109. The big issue isn't the bug itself, but the attitude of the devs that refuse to acknowledge or fix the problems. We're lucky Simone would rather put them on blast for everyone else's benefit, instead of just giving up and selling the exploit on the black market.
    2
  110.  @PaulieMcCoy  Are you using ANSI C++ from 1990? I doubt it.
    2
  111. Collective nouns vs plural nouns. "People" is a collective noun, for multiple persons. "Persons" is the plural form of "person."
    2
  112. So instead of trying to reach more people, they're trying to reach less people. Woke logic at its best.
    2
  113. GNU already has their own kernel, HURD.
    2
  114. You'd think so, but guess who wrote the code of conduct? The same people that are always getting offended.
    2
  115. No, if the AI was actually intelligent, and could discern a real bug report from a fake one, the scammers would just ask that same AI to generate better, more convincing slop.
    2
  116. What a great idea, let's leave potentially critical bugs dormant for 2 years. What could possibly go wrong? Do you work for Microsoft?
    2
  117.  @monkev1199  Show us one example.
    2
  118. Also, it's very bold of Linus Torvalds to claim that all Palestinians are guilty of Hamas' terrorist attacks. Let's see how it plays out within his circles. Not surprising, leftists love delivering collective punishment.
    2
  119. Good. Now make it so every single human being can request to have his or her name removed from those filthy AI services. I will never give permission to any AI service to build a dossier on my personal life, specially when they can hallucinate a crime out of thin air and associate it with me.
    2
  120. @tehehe5929  waste of battery and cpu cycles.
    2
  121. That's how every "AI can code" demo goes, the whole program is described with if-then-else statements in English, because the AI can't really think or reason about it. It can only convert it from English to a programming language, with the same success rate as Google Translate.
    2
  122. If you block port 631 entirely (or just disable cups-browsed) you're good, for now. You still have a bunch of CUPS components running on your system, with no security implemented in them, because they were designed this way.
    2
  123. You're talking as if there weren't VPNs, and bot networks, to bypass IP bans.

  124. This ain't an airport.

  125.  @Drew-Dastardly  Linus' daughter is a blue-haired feminist, complete slave to the woke ideology.
    2
  126. Linux can only survive by getting rid of Linus, Greg, and all the political agents sabotaging the project.
    2
  127. So the multi-billion-dollar startup that admitted to violating the copyright of everyone on the planet, is having their own copyright violated? Cry harder, Sam Altman.
    2
  128. Disable the printer discovery daemon, as recommended. You'll have to manually add network printers in the mean time.
    2
  129. Docker is only 11 years old, it does not match the description of "running on everything for the past 20 years."
    2
  130. There is some fault of the language too, when the language fails to provide the proper tools for solving the problem. In the "The Rust Programming Language" book, they brag about how hard it is to leak memory in Rust. They deserve every bit of mockery they're getting. A language that makes it a hassle to deal with problems, is guilty of making the problem worse.
    2
  131. Which AI? The same AI that hallucinated the original bug report? If the AI could reason the bug report is slop, why wouldn't the scammer just ask the AI to "generate a bug report that's doesn't look like slop"?
    2
  132. But for the wrong reason though.
    2
  133. Did you choose a gender for today?
    2
  134. Certain languages like Java require a ton of boilerplate before you can even get started. It gets even more tedious when you're forced by company policy to write unit tests for the most irrelevant parts of the code. No doubt, Pichai is trying to oversell their inferior AI service.
    2
  135. How do you justify the Struggle Session against the blasphemers?
    2
  136. Claiming she coined, or even popularized the term, is fake history. You're malding without even watching the video.
    2
  137. It's literally not called "CPP". It's literally called "C++".
    2
  138. This is happening exactly to sabotage C++ (and C will be next) to prop up the competing products, like C#, Go, Carbon, etc. It didn't start with C++17, it started a few years prior to C++11. That's why they introduced an unsafe thread class, and the worst possible hash table implementation in `std::unordered_map`. Coroutines in C++ is a disaster too. `std::async()` is so bad, Microsoft, of all companies, created a better replacement. They deprecated character set conversion routines/classes without adding a replacement. And they still refuse to add named parameters to functions (despite already having named member initialization for structs). Concepts almost didn't make it into the language, Stroustrup and a few others had to pretty much do it all by themselves, because they couldn't get the committee to make any useful decision. Basically, the standards committee has a bunch of useless clowns that have doing nothing but drag down the work to a screeching halt, for more than 2 decades now. This fake "I'm offended" performance is just yet another tactic to do the same thing.

  139. You don't know how coding works. Separating a massive messy piece of software into well-defined components is always a productivity improvement. They didn't create multiple libraries, they separated code that should have never been mixed up together in the first place.
    1
  140.  @PetraleiTanyl  I wasn't going to call you out, but the fact you said "the X11 community" is good evidence that you're the one that doesn't know what you're talking about. If every Xorg maintainer decides to abandon the messy code base to start from scratch, who are you to tell them they're wrong? Wayland has many problems (mostly bad integration with everything else) but it's not because it's "5 times as much work."

  141.  @daedalus547  This user @cheako91155 is just trolling. He's probably ChatGPT to write slop in the comments.

  145. This ain't FOSS. The C++ language is defined, maintained and extended by this ISO working group. Most of the same people also work on the ISO C working group. Both proprietary and Free Software compilers have to implement the standard C and standard C++ languages. Over 90% of all software in the world runs C or C++ code.

  153. This ain't DEI. A warmonger is playing ball with another warmonger whilst pretending to oppose him, by making ridiculous decrees. Biden should have decreed for Germany to obey sanctions against Russian oil and gas. Biden should have decreed for Ukraine to stop transporting Russian oil and gas through Ukrainian pipelines. But these things generate profits for the Biden Crime Family, he would never stop that.

  155. ESR came up with his own trojan horse, called Open Source, designed specifically to undermine the Free Software movement. ESR used many lies to promote OS over FS: "Open Source is cheaper, it's more optimized, has less bugs, has more features, than proprietary software." It completely discarded the principle of "Freedom." The lies convinced many companies to adopt the term, knowing full well the public didn't know the difference. It's no wonder, the "Open Source" brand means nothing these days; people talk about "open source military intelligence", "open source encyclopedias", "open source social networks", etc.

  156. This story is not about memory leaks. It's about Rust developers getting a good dose of reality, and hopefully making them shut up about Rust's "magic solution for memory problems." They're already backpedaling, saying they never made any claims about memory leaks, as we couldn't just find them on the top of the search results.

  158. "Programs are not people. Removing undefined behavior is not genocide." It's like I'm taking crazy pills, why does that need to be clarified? People that are equating Jews to Undefined Behavior are the same kind of people that equate black people to monkeys. They're blatantly confessing to their own bigotry, by claiming everyone else is just as racist as they are. And as I suspected, Herb Sutter (a Microsoft employee) is participating in this sabotage. Sad to see Stroustrup being such a pushover. His legacy is being burnt to the ground and he's doing nothing to stop it.

  159.  @BrunodeSouzaLino  Free Software is itself a political movement. If you don't want politics, go to the Open Source movement, ESR is your guy. We don't want unrelated politics inserted into a very specific political movement that already united us in the Free Software community, because they will cause division and distractions.

  160. Linus should check with Biden, because Biden authorized Putin to invade Ukraine.

  161. Biden didn't do anything related to GPL. He enacted sanctions relating to all sorts of software. When you legally receive code from a target of sanctions, you're entering a legally binding contract with said target (that's what the legal precedent from 2017 said), and Biden's executive order seems to cover that, not caring about any context. At best, this should only apply when you're paying a Russian programmer to write code for your project, they could make the case you're sending financial support to a sanctioned economy. But since the EO doesn't distinguish that, it also applies to Russian contributors that donate their work for free.

Google has two product languages that they advertise as "C++ killer languages", Go and Carbon.

  172. C++ is an ISO standard, it's bigger than IEEE. Programming languages evolve to match the changing technology, the changing demands, and even to correct mistakes and incorporate new ideas. C++ in particular, was created precisely to incorporate the best ideas of other languages. It was meant to be an every-evolving language from the very start. Initial Bjarne Stroustrup had the final word, but as more and more work was needed to deal with all the contributions and language extensions, he formed a committee, to submit a formal standard to the ANSI in 1990, and a year later to the ISO. There's a lot of work to create a proper ISO standard, people need to get paid to make time to write technical texts, to go to meetings and discuss complex problems within the language. In order to have a voice in the Standards Committee, you have to pay to be a member; that's how they pay the people to work on the standard. Usually individuals don't pay by themselves, they're part of organizations (like corporations, research institutions, governments) that "sponsor" them. Corporations want their own engineers being part of the standards committee, to ensure the committee is focusing on problems they want solved. Compiler vendors (like Microsoft and Google) want their own engineers in the committee so their own proprietary extensions are incorporated in the standard (so they have the feature implemented in their own compiler first, and don't have to change to something different.) Without updates to the language, C++ would not have hash tables, would not have multi-threaded support, would not have atomic operations, no lambdas, no regular expressions, etc.

  173. Take a look at talks from big C++ conferences from the past 5 years or so, it's full of men doing female blackface, with custom pronouns. It's already too late. This is plain sabotage, from companies that failed to kill the C++ language because their products were inferior.

"The client also wants to search states for both full and abbreviated names." "Okay, I'll just copy code that was used in that other project." "... and they must be sorted by region, not alphabetically." "... and it must show the user's home state first, so it needs to geolocate the user's IP address." "... unless the user is logged in and has a state set in the profile, then you need to load it from the database." "... and it should show the map of the state when the state is selected."

  200. It is an antisemitic book, like other writings of Karl Marx. - Karl Marx claimed the true religion of the Jew isn't Judaism, because they made Capital their god. Their religion is "Capitalism." The term "Capitalism" is an antisemitic slur. - Karl Marx outright said that the Jew won't have a space to continue existing in the post-revolution world (remember, he predicted that the Communist revolution would happen in the entire world all at once.) Go back to your commie professor and ask for a better Marxist retort, you commie.

He said "we should remove unsigned integers, only have signed types", openly in a C++ conference a few years ago. Everyone in the audience was confused, and thought he was joking at first. Andrei Alexandrescu was the one that openly confronted him and said "you can remove unsigned integers over my dead body."

No, we should not cooperate with China that enslaves their populations and dumps all their pollution into the air and ocean. We should not cooperate with Iran, nor Venezuela nor Cuba.

  215.  @akam9919  Marx definitely wanted this to the result of his works. He outright stated, his goal was to dismantle all of society, to remove the pillars of civilization, so "they" (the intellectual bourgeoisie like himself) could mold a new type of human being that is fully obedient to the State, and never dare to revert back to the Free Market (aka "Capitalism") or God. Karl Marx never worked a day in his life, he squandered his family's money, only writing to his parents to demand more money. You can read the letters his father wrote to him, it's quite revealing how ungrateful and entitled he was. When he stopped receiving money from his family, he latched on to Engels, still acting just as demanding (you can find a letter from Marx insisting Engels to not be late with paying his rent.) And yes, Karl Marx outright wrote, on his "On The Jewish Question" book, that Jews would not be allowed to continue existing after the global Communist revolution takes place. He also claimed that the real god of the Jews is "Capital", and therefore their religion is really "Capitalism", not "Judaism." The term "Capitalism" is an antisemitic epithet.

They're written to look exactly like laws, describing various crimes, their severity, their enforcement, the appropriate punishment, the "legal recourse" the accused has (if any), etc. Don't go thinking that "politics" means something bad; it literally just means "the act of negotiating how to live together." You can only live free of politics if you're a hermit living alone in a cave, or if you're the king and you don't need to negotiate anything.

And to this day, fools keep bundling Open Source with Free Software.

Microsoft, Apple, Google, etc, they come in pretending to be benefactors, only to coerce these projects to be infiltrated by the weirdos.

  230. Plenty of systems are exposing a CUPS daemon to the internet, as Simone reported. But even as you laugh behind your NAT, when the attacker breaks into your network through some other means, with no escalation of privileges needed at all, they can send the malicious UDP packet to all computers in your LAN, and immediately get root on each one of them. Would you be worried if you discovered all your Linux desktops had a password-less telnet service that gives you straight root credentials to anyone? Because that's what this is.

  231. A Code of Conduct is a victory flag, planted by Communists on organizations they've successfully infiltrated and subverted. It acts both as a manifesto (attracting more comrades to completely overthrow what remains of the original institution), and as a constitution (overruling any internal regulations or even coercing members to break the law). I have never seen any organization recover from a Code of Conduct. Some collapse faster than others, some linger around for longer. It's just like the mold you see on the food on the fridge; by the time you notice it, the germs already won, it already spoiled.

  238.  @ArturdeSousaRocha  Let me help you finding the culprit. The chair of the WG21 is Herb Sutter, who works for Microsoft. For years he has been proposing gutting some language elements out of C++, that would immediately make C++ code less optimized. Removal of unsigned integers, removal of relaxed atomic operations, enforcing sequencing of nonsensical operations. Microsoft also has a commercial product language, called C#, that is marketed as being a "C++ killer language." Google funds a lot of the works of the WG21, has many of their engineers "volunteering" in higher positions of the group. Google's C++ compiler (Clang) is mainly developed by the same guy that spend the past 3~4 years now promoting a commercial product language, called Carbon, that is marketed as being a "C++ killer language." Recently, Intel threw away their own in-house C++ compiler, and switched to one that's based on Google's C++ compiler. Intel is one of the main sources of funds for the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC). These are the 3 main C++ (and C) compilers: MSVC, Clang and GCC. Intel's compiler would be the 4th. Just follow the money, these working groups (for both C and C++ languages) are funded mostly by corporations that showed financial interest in killing these languages, to promote their own products.

The chair of the C++ committee is Herb Sutter, a Microsoft engineer, he's definitely responsible for this fiasco. He's been trying to sabotage C++ for years, trying to get rid of unsigned integer, impose sequencing of operations to kill compiler optimizations, and get rid of high-performance atomic operations (because in the future, somebody might build a CPU where the optimized versions are not needed anymore.)

  245. The functional word is "first", which is the myth. Electrical engineers were already using the term "bug" to refer to malfunctions, before computers. Thomas Edison used the term in 1878, to describe a mechanical malfunction. Obviously computers had bugs since computers were first invented. Plenty of mechanical and electrical machines had bugs caused by real bugs before that, as it's often bad wen insects (or rats) get crushed or cooked inside machines, and start leaking fluids.

  246. I'm pretty sure Herb Sutter, the chair of the C++ Standards Committee (also works for Microsoft) made the fake offer in an attempt to save face precisely because a lot of people within the committee are upset. This is a clear case of sabotage, and Herb is an accomplice, Bjarne is an enabler. Anyone offended by trivialities should be kicked out summarily and permanently.

C# is a proprietary industry standard, while C++ is an open industry standard.

  257.  @informativt  Are you, a lying communist, claiming that Karl Marx, barely mentioned the Lumpenproletariat in his works? The sole reason the term has any relevance today, is precisely because of Karl Marx's works. Same with "Capitalism", that was only popularized by Karl Marx as an antisemitic slur. Is that the trick you're trying to pull, commie?

  258. You're not thinking big enough. Soon the International Bureau of Weights and Measures will sabotage the metric system, saying that meter, seconds and grams are some sort of tool of oppression. We're seeing the lunatics dismantling the very fabric of civilization, we're about to undo some 3 centuries of progress. Both the C and C++ groups are run by pretty much the same people, paid by the same corporations. That's over 90% of all software being sabotaged.
