No problem, we don't kinkshame here.

It was xz, a software most people probably use without even knowing it as it is a library which is included in a lot of other projects. The vulnerability targeted openssh which is one of these users.

That being said: Do you also audit the dependencies of the software you're installing? I usually don't, unless a customer pays me for it. However, before I pull any dependency into one of my own projects I take a look at it's dependencies. If a library for a simple task brings tons of dependencies with it, I rather not use it.

They were still good windowses for their time, especially when you compare them to DOS and Mac OS 9 which would have been the alternatives. For a fair comparison with professional OSes with full memory protection like UNIX you'd have to look at Windows NT, but there the preimise is true as well (as far as I can tell by googling, I only ever used 2000 Pro): 3.1 was bad, 3.5(1) good, 4.0 bad, 2000 good, 2003 meh.

It was a known rule that every second version of Windows was good. 95 was good, 98SE was good, XP was good, 7 was good, but sadly they never released Windows 9, so we're still waiting for the good version to come after 8.

How, do you believe, babies are made in the first place?

Why not call it a Germanic-Romance romance?

We stopped buying these death machines from you years ago (in fact, we never really started buying them):

But that didn't stop you from making more of them or making them more deadly each year.

I didn't know you guys had special briefings where you gain your intelligence. Over here in Europe we prefer natural grown intelligence maybe with a hint of help from schools and parents.

But it explains a lot if he never attended.

The last time I remember having the same opinion as the pope was in 2003 against Bush Jr.'s war. If anyone will ever get me to become a catholic, I'm pretty sure it will be a US president.

He's not targeting us, but only the "bad" imigrants. Reminds me of these guys.

It seems I'm not too good with numbers 😔 But it really doesn't matter if it's been 20k, 200k or 2M years, the point is, that it's been a long time.

You can't eat decades-old food with no consequences

Except when you can. There have been cases where they have found canned foods from decades ago and when they lab-tested and taste-tested them they were still safe to eat (albeit a bit bland). The biggest danger with intact cans that are not inflated it that you might get lead poisoning if the can is older than ~1990

That's the whole point, you have to use your senses (common and biological). You can't assume that something is unsafe to eat just because it's beyond its best before date or has been stored at 5° instead of 4° for a few hours. At the same time you can't blindly trust that every food is fine just because it has been stored correctly.

Use your senses! I know doing that is not very famous these days, but you should try it sometimes.

So instead of "If in doubt throw it out" I'd suggest "If in doubt, throw it out, but if its still tasty, throw it in the pasty".
