I've yet to see reports of one running involuntarily in the wild.

- WanderPanda 7y agoSo you are saying the anti-vaxxers of the linux world are protected by herd immunity? Interesting angle for sure!
- pixl97 7y agoIn March of 2019 there were no world wide pandemics forcing hundreds of millions to shelter in place. The point is you vaccinate before a illness starts spreading if you can, because things spread quickly when you do not and can create quite a mess.

- papermachete 7y agoIt's a special type of horse that won't run out unless aliens from another galaxy throw space hay at the door.
- jbjohns 7y agoI'm truly shocked by the comments I'm seeing here. When did so many people forget everything we've learned about security? You know what a zero-day attack is right? You know how fast those can cover the whole internet these days right? So why would you purposely leave a gaping security hole in your system to get some performance on a CPU that's probably too fast for your realistic workload already?
