Joking about the quality of your products is hurtful to the people who made them. Joking about dumb programming trends is offensive to the people who find them useful. You're still happily diminishing people, only now you won't ev

They'd have to know to look for it, but running `alias sudo` would show if it had an alias assigned to it. It would honestly be more effective to change $PATH to include the malicious version of sudo.

"snapstore was a minimalist example of a "store" for snaps, but is not compatible with the current snapd implementation. As a result I have removed the contents here to avoid further confusion."

I believe they're working on using the rear-view mirror camera to watch for driver attentiveness, which would solve both this issue and the issue of their current driver attentiveness system sucking so, so bad.

Right, but that software was their choice to install, not forced upon them by their academic institution. It's good that it's easy to remove, but other people's computers are not your property.
