I think you may have misread the message you replied to. The message you replied to was implying the Russians wouldn't know how to deal with the kernel because they can't shoot missiles at it. That's the opposite of what your reply implies.

No, they're saying it would be really easy now to create a fake image that would have in the past had that level of impact.

That's fair, they needn't quote it, you're right, they can just link it, context included.

I do not have examples of those, nor did I claim to.

What was misrepresented was a quote about SNL, where an offensive clip from old SNL was posted, and he said it was from when SNL was still funny. He didn't even comment on the clip except for the era in which it came out. (I think there was a second one, but I don't recall the other offhand, so I'm not gonna try to pull it out of my ass here)

What I disliked is that by not linking the originals, we have to trust their judgment entirely and have to infer which incidents they're referring to and what was said. That's stupid. Just link the damn discussions, they were public. If it was bad, it will be obvious. I should not have to make my judgment based on their view of what was said, I want to make my judgment based on what was actually said. I don't agree with what Tim said, but I also feel like they're not being as transparent as they should be.

I don't think there's any threadripper laptops, and this article specifically says it's a workstation.

Check the list, bud. It's far from just obscura.

Imagine paying for Windows. What a waste of money.

If you're using pipewire, try XDAJackRetask, I use it for that purpose.

Does the Linux Foundation even have HR? Even if they did, does an employee of a separate company even have the ability to make a complaint about Linus with them?

What alternative word would you use in this case, as a pejorative insult to someone's intelligence?

Looking at the list you've provided, they're all generic insults not specifically aimed at someone for doing something dumb. If the problem is that the pejorative is aimed at intelligence...ableism will never go away. People will always insult the intelligence of others when they do something dumb.

Actually, EAC has a Proton-compatible build, the devs just have to use it. It's not a hard switch, they just have to choose to allow Linux compatibility, which most devs (well, really it's probably an exec level decision) do not.

In France. They standardized the designs so each one isn't a one-off and they trained more people to work in the field.

You know what's funny? It's not the independent repair shops stealing your data, it's the "official" ones. https://www.theverge.com/2021/6/7/22522560/apple-repair-multimillion-iphone-nude-photos-privacy-settlement-pegatron

Those "bootleg" screens often are genuine, but Apple makes features not work unless paired. You can literally swap the screens of two fresh out of the box iPhones and they won't work. Swap them back, they work fine. Don't defend their practices, and don't believe the lies about repair they've been feeding you for years.
