Is outrage not the way that almost anything moves forward these days? I feel that if not for the internet (the modern version where anyone has the ability to publish something that can be seen by many, regardless of tech knowledge) that we would be utterly powerless. It’s one of the few things that causes large organizations to actually care about anything. It’s almost an obligation these days.
- jmull 9y agoOutrage can move things, but irrational outrage will move things in a mindless direction, which doesn’t help anything. “Intel sucks” except arm cpus are affected too. “Intel sucks” except there’s a network of entities involved in disclosure. “Intel sucks” except OpenBSD previously opted out of this disclosure mechanism. I don’t see how anything will move in useful direction from this. Perhaps Intel will find a way to write statements with better feelz. That’s nice, but it’s not substantive and doesn’t deal with any of the underlying issues here.
