While we're at it, let's hack all the computers of the kernel maintainers every time there's an exploit. Sorry for the sarcasm, but I really don't think exploiting software insecurities is the way to get anything productive done.
- invisible 17y agoI think you are missing the point on that one. Kernel maintainers are striving to produce a good product. Those that "trample privacy" are not out to produce anything except profits. Think about the hypocrisy that would be involved if they were offended by their chats being published if they push for similar data (others' data) to be public.

- Locke1689 17y agoSo vigilante justice is morally defensible now? I'd like to hear about your complete ethical system.
- invisible 17y agoWhat piece of what I said made it defensible? I was merely explaining away the concept that it applies to engineers like it does for "privacy tramplers."
- TallGuyShort 17y agoThat would be a valid comparison if distro maintainers were in the habit of forcing updates of opt-out data-compromising features to your OS.
