    I have no horse in this fight, so pardon my asking:

    You self admittidly don’t know code, so like, why are you trying to argue about code?

    That’s like a DJ and a Barber arguing over which carbueretor jet is correct in a classic Mercedes. The answer is muddier and than either of them know enough to understand, because they’re not mechanics or engineers.

    Are you a programmer? Cybersecurity researcher? Bot designed to sow discontent with pretty arguement?

    Like, what’s the point of all this? Neither of you know what you’re talking about, I don’t even know what you’re talking about but I can clearly read the vibes based technobabble between you, so like, why?

      You self admittidly don’t know code, so like, why are you trying to argue about code?

      Because the level of knowledge that would stop you from rephrasing my words into “don’t know code” is much higher than the level of knowledge I’m using in the argument.

      That’s like a DJ and a Barber arguing over which carbueretor jet is correct in a classic Mercedes. The answer is muddier and than either of them know enough to understand, because they’re not mechanics or engineers.

      How is that like an unpaid cybersecurity expert arguing about cybersecurity then?

      Are you a programmer?

      Already answered this and you acknowledged that in the beginning. It’s becoming clearer and clearer you’re replying in purely bad faith.

      Cybersecurity researcher?

      Kinda, but not really.

      Bot designed to sow discontent with pretty arguement?

      Obviously not, and now it seems like you’re trying to bait me into the kind of response that could get me banned here. This discussion would be more appropriate for nostr, where no one can be banned.

      Like, what’s the point of all this?

      The main point of your gish gallop is to waste my time and energy and confuse other people.

      The main point on my side of the discussion has been to raise awareness of how concerned the general public should be (and sadly isn’t) about the general state of cybersecurity right now, especially in vital areas like how the Linux ecosystem and coding languages themselves are developing.

      Neither of you know what you’re talking about

      Incorrect. I have talked about, for example, a user’s statements in a discussion I linked to. I know this. You can’t really provide an example of anything I’ve mentioned here that I don’t know about.

      You could use “don’t know what you’re talking about” as a euphemism for how the person I was replying to was spewing bullshit, but I’d just call them a liar. Seems more straightforward. Either way, that’s not me.

      don’t even know what you’re talking about but I can clearly read the vibes based technobabble between you

      I think in this context, you should be trying to ignore the vibes and understand what’s being said.

      so like, why?

      Awareness should be raised for this stuff, because people are sadly not as concerned as they should be about the state of cybersecurity right now. It’s particularly an issue in Linux / FOSS circles where there seems to be more of a false sense of security these days.
