  1. You are in release preview/beta ring.... issues are expected... dont cry if you want to run latest and "greatest" and have issues sometimes... it goes hand in hand... i swear some of people are running beta software for sole reason to complain about bugs.... (and yes im fully aware sometimes this bugs get in to retail)....

  2. I don't think the kernel community has time or resources to investigate the other teams. It seems like this was done intentionally in bad faith. It should now be up to the university to deal with the situation, and then work on mending bridges with the community.

  3. From my limited knowledge in this whole process...Greg Kroah-Hartman had every right to be ###### and the ban seems legit. One of the first rules is to ask for consent...not to submit "bad faith patches" for your own research thus wasting the time of Linux contributors and the Linux community in general.

  4. Professionalism isn’t really something the kernel developers go for. Look at the kind of outbursts Linus himself has had.

  6. They fell short of expectations? hmm, maybe they should try increasing the price again, that'll probably get more people to subscribe.

  7. They're done. Shareholders always demand profits and Discord can't find a way to do that. Nitro is a fail, not enough people are paying, and what you get for the price is not good enough. Their game store was a fail of epic proportions. The only thing they can do is start selling years worth of data from private chats (or using the data for advertising). Just imagine how that's gonna look like when they betray millions of (mostly) gamers.

  9. On the flip side, the devs in the thread still seem to be doubling down on the practice of stuffing some things into the kernel, sans checking, as long as it's from "trusted" contributors. The people from the university submitted real fixes before moving on to fake ones. Then they wrote a whole paper about it before attempting this next batch of allegedly bad patches. I don't think an intelligence service or an extortionist would be so kind. It makes you wonder what else has gotten into the kernel. Open source is great and all, but relatively few people are both familiar and skilled enough with kernel stuff to check people's work. When your first line of defense doesn't bother to check, the next line is probably far down the road.

  14. Leadership in the University of Minnesota Department of Computer Science & Engineering learned today about the details of research being conducted by one of its faculty members and graduate students into the security of the Linux Kernel. The research method used raised serious concerns in the Linux Kernel community and, as of today, this has resulted in the University being banned from contributing to the Linux Kernel. We take this situation extremely seriously. We have immediately suspended this line of research. We will investigate the research method and the process by which this research method was approved, determine appropriate remedial action, and safeguard against future issues, if needed. We will report our findings back to the community as soon as practical. Sincerely, Mats Heimdahl, Department Head Loren Terveen, Associate Department Head

  16. Greg Kroah-Hartman sounds like the stereotypical Linux snob. And sure, he may be a head honcho, and he's right, but hardly a professional sounding message conveying actions taken to contributions.

  23. Dead? You mean like LinkedIn and Github? I was thinking about it recently and yes, github has became trash under microsoft, I keep getting logged out now and have to login with a password, I then have to enter a code they send via email but 2fa is OFF. They've have multiple bugs with things just not working or spamming emails, they've removed valid projects. I'm yet to see a single thing they've done which is a positive thing that wouldn't have happened if they hadn't bought github. You're nuts. Unlimited private repositories for free isn't a good thing? And that was just the first thing they did. On top of that, GitHub was not a profitable company. At the very least, even if Microsoft hasn't made it more profitable, they have too much of a stake in it's service to just let it die or shut it down. Buying GitHub was one of the best things that could have happened for the community, IMO.

  24. Instagram's new keyword-based tool will filter out offensive DMs

    Instead of blocking stuff on the server side, just let people block stuff on the client side. If they're concerned about getting offensive DMs from random people, then encourage them to adjust their privacy settings so only those they approve can send them DMs.

  30. The innovation is that AirTag connects to all the iOS devices on the planet, there is about 1 billion of them right? Leave your keys or bag somewhere and it's certain that an iOS device will be close enough to detect them and allow you to find them. Never before has a network like this existed. Now why would I want someone else's information to go through my phone? Even better, this means they can be open about stealing our information or looking at what goes on within the privacy of our own devices and people like you will still celebrate it. Lmao ??????????? There are genuine concerns for privacy and security, but I don't think you even understand how these sort of products work...

  31. I canceled mine back last year when they promoted content that wasn't very kid friendly basically. That along with no new good content and what was available I've got on regular TV and can find on other sources. The lack of 4K HDR steaming vs Disney+ and other locations is also sad.

  40. Discord going public is way worse than being bought by MSFT. It means shareholders who will want to see profits or else. This just feels like Discord is merely in it for the cash grab and has little consideration for the use base.
