It's a funny video but his stance is quite principled, as he refuses to use any non-free software even if it's horribly inconvenient. Which is the exact opposite of what we have here.

I knew people running FreeBSD on the desktop back in 2003. If it was good enough for them then... Could they not scrounge up enough cash for a Thinkpad in the last 20 years?

Oh my god this lady should be running a pet shop. She's had this role since 2005 and is only now dogfooding the software for 10 minutes a day? Stunning and brave. Imagine Linus Torvalds or Theo from OpenBSD using Windows out of conveni

No one is lighting a room with a 2.8W LED (equivalent to a 25W incandescent). That is barely enough light for a focused desk lamp.

Will there be a follow-up when that Ikea tissue-paper lamp catches fire and burns his flat down? I don't know how those things are legal, like building a computer case out of recycled newspaper clippings.

Maybe the researcher was wearing windshield-wiper spectacles when he discovered the vulnerability. I don't understand why you're being so defensive about this.

It gives legitimacy to whatever whimsical name was given to a vulnerability by registering the domain. CVE numbers are for boring professionals.

So what? You're still root. You're relying on a sandbox to plug a few voids while you still effectively held keys to the kingdom before said voids were plugged. I hear this excuse daily from developers who insist on running all th

You left a snarky comment, then paraded around a positively lame example as some sort of trophy. Here's what I can figure out: you need root to set up the environment just so. It's a don't-care. The end.

Your "evidence" for him to reconsider is a sandbox "bypass" that requires you to be root to set up the environment? For my next trick I will demonstrate how to break into my own house to open the blinds by using my keys.
