I mean, he’s developing and administrating what’s essentially a Reddit clone all on his own.
And doing a damn fine job.
The question was if you saw similarity in the pressure to add maintainers to the project with the social engineering that lead to xz getting backdoored.
Why would I click an article the only thing about which you have disclosed is that it will make me mad?
All equal I'd as soon not seek that out and the premise about learning more about The Matrix rings hollow because unless the article's author (who—like everything else about the piece—is not revealed in the post) is Bane Hooked Up to pregnant horse pee, they don't understand The Matrix better than I do.
The site errored out repeatedly when I tried to like a comment
Has there ever been a time kbin.social didn't do that from time to time? 503 is a friend of mine at this point. Neither one of us has abandoned this place for twitter so this place is clearly at least robust enough (code- and community- wise) for us still to be having this conversation here.
Heck, I could (though won't and don't yet) argue the errors are a feature to keep you getting hooked on scrolling. There's at least 2 projects I have finished I wouldn't have worked on if this place hadn't been down at the time.
The fact we're here talking on kbin.social when for all we know Ernest is talking to aliens right now on some Jodie Foster Contact shit shows how rather robust this place actually is when you think about it.
You want me putting out in the universe the opposite? Them's dangerous vibes to be fucking around with.
Either Ernest is fine and you can take comfort in that knowledge or Ernest is dead and you can take comfort in the knowledge that you can do things like throw up websites and they can keep going months after you kick it.
I don't think if Ernest were dead you and I would be talking about it on kbin.social.
