oh dear, how sad, nevermind.

for me the wat was triggered by “unsolicited advice”; if it was my reply that was reported, i wasn't giving advice, i was setting boundaries.

yup.

also: it was microsoft's business decision to make the api required for av (or, more general security subsystems) to function so low-level that it has to be delivered as a kernel driver and operate in ring0. i guess it's primarily for the performance reasons, but still, there are other technical options. someone made the executive decision there.

on the other hand, it was crowdstrike's business decision to make the bloody update parser run in ring0, and without verification that the update data is correct, nobody forced them to do it that way.

let them both burn.

yup.

i would think that for habryka “actual racism” means something like open calls to genocide, not, you know, actual racism.

it's not darwinism, what you're playing with is casual eugenics (you clearly don't value life of certain – arbitrarily chosen – people, and are fine with them suffering harm); don't. there's nothing good waiting for you on that path.

for people who thought this might not be related to the llm brainworms, the reasoning of the iterm2 author for inclusion of the feature (when promptedy by @gerikson@awful.systems) :

I got a number of requests. I also got tired of copy-pasting things to ChatGPT. Usually if I find a feature useful, other people do, too.

two things: one, limited bureaucracy is not only good, it's required for an institution to thrive. second, we only have bostrom's word on the reasons, and i wouldn't trust the motherfucker even with grating cheese (that is other colour than white).

huh. the modlog is wild. my commiserations.

ah, davis aurini, a man after gamergate's heart.

2022, so there's a good chance this is now abandoned and half-forgotten?

so, copium?
