@fruitycoder @griefstricken Yes MSNBC has been claiming this for oh the last two years.

@BCsven Gotta love it.

@Gingernate @that_leaflet Really talking Fedora 41.

Federa release numbers are not Redhat release numbers.

@BCsven As I stated though moot, the laws have really outlived their usefulness. There are simply too many unsecured systems on the Internet to make it impossible for a bad foreign actor to gain access to any software that is not intended for export. When I worked for the local telco, many of their switches had dial-in modems that connected to the recent change channels, the channels that allow you to alter how lines were assigned, telephone calls were routed, etc, without so much as a login or password. If you knew the commands you could do pretty much anything you wanted to. I caused a major meltdown that got me an unwanted interview with directors merely for suggesting that they put a password on the root account of a pbx interface Unix system used to serve a 40,000 line customer. So yea security is mostly a joke and as a result these laws serve no useful purpose.

No, it would encourage irresponsibility which already seems a major issue with lemmy.

@mindbleach @Allero From what I'm seeing from Lemmy, I would estimate the wackadoodle's to be much higher than 50%.

@BCsven @Allero Given the modular nature of the kernel, the module can always be made available separately those today's Internet really makes such restrictions, as they apply to software, moot.

@vga @ChiefSinner That it was "aggression" in and of itself is a political belief.

@vga I can only tell you that if my personal net worth was 50 million, I'd be looking for a new national home yesterday.

@griefstricken @Vincent I think bottom line is that it's bad for the open source community and something a grown adult like Linus should know better than to do even if it means moving his foundation to another nation. You can't be as critical to the open source movement and then bow to political pressures like this. The last estimate of Linus's personal worth was placed at 50 million, so not like he can't afford to move.

@griefstricken Yea I don't think where the servers are hosted is the issue, if it were I'd be seeing this same traffic on my other social media sites and from other than lemmy servers here. Well there are about there other non-lemmy sites that are problematic but in a different way, lot of racist comments from a handful.
