This comment really crystallizes your nerd subtype. I may be a [6] but you from arguing with you, ya sound cute 💜

Enjoy your selfhosting journey!

I am annoying, but something being low-risk and not effecting most customers doesn't make it a "false positive".

"A liar who lies repeatedly won't be believed" is definitely equivalent to "A company conservatively warned that one of their products was dangerous in some specific situations."

Hanging out with you sounds really fun.

lol and you said you weren't big mad.

It’s not a matter of “less or more information[...]”

Escalating every such bug [...] would quickly drown out notices that people actually care about.

If your argument is that a specific class of security bugs aren't worth CVEs, then make that argument. Instead, you're saying the CVE isn't valid and making an argument about the risk assessment and development lifecycle (as if those aren't part of a CVE) and not the class of security bug.

I have, this entire time, said it's a valid CVE that you don't care about and that you shouldn't be working as a cybersecurity professional. You have conceded the first point and continued to demonstrate the later.

"Uh, no. The CVE is valid, but it's not about that." You say, scrambling. "The dev cycle! It was already scheduled for release, so it's not necessary to disclose. If everyone disclosed security bugs, we'd have too much information and we wouldn't be able to filter for the notices we care about." You retort, not realizing that you had already conceded that this wasn't about the fact you didn't care about the CVE, and instead arguing that less information is better rather than building tools to cope with the number of CVEs that are increasing regardless of their relevance to you personally.

"Frivolous" "Frivolous" "Frivolous"

Is it because it's a DOS? No. That's valid.

Feature off by default? No, that still warrants CVE.

Feature labeled Beta or Experimental? Nope, still warranted.

You must be one of those newcomers big mad F5 now has control of the record and you can't pad your cv.

Girl, you're saying you trust software that documents security vulnerabilities that don't apply to you less than one that doesn't document those vulnerabilities?

A CVE isn't a black mark on a projects reputation.

Because of the way you misused terms, I'm guessing you're not particularly familiar with cybersecurity. It's an ever more important field for sysadmins and devs. I recommend taking the time to learn more.

My neato.

Guy replies with a hyperbolic shitpost about capitalism.

OP replies sincerely.

I reply hyperbolically in turn.

You assume I'm serious, then assume media can only mean "the mass news media" while ignoring any subtler parallels about access to information and adoption. (e.g. Does reading and writing being expensive relate to the early internet where access and hosting were expensive? Does the evolution of the written word have parallels with the evolution of the internet?)

If I'm responding semi-seriously, I do want to note that it's only in the American school system where there's no writing until the west gets paper. Armies of scribes carved into stone, impressed into clay, and wrote onto vellum to blanket empires in written news.

And I guess my main point is that focus on defeatism.

You also couldn't make money as an artist at basically any other point in history either. But now you have more opportunity to try and make a go of it either in the corporate space (although we'll see if AI kills those positions) or as an indie. If you care, don't give up and watch whatever the algorithm is feeding you. Consume indie art from the people who want to make a go at it. They exist in your local community and there are several coops have sprung up in the last couple years focused on music and handmade crafts with the enshittification of the existing platforms.

Just saying they're a bit terminally online.

The oldest consumer complaint is from approximately 3800 years ago and is a clay tablet complaining about the copper they received from Ea-Nasir. (A meme you might have seen around, even if you didn't know that context)

Ancient Egyptians were around long enough they were doing archeology on Ancient Egyptians. There's plenty of science and engineering in China and Africa that predates Pythagoras' weird cult. (Srsly, if you're not familiar with the cult of Pythagoras, highly recommend)

I'm saying you're responding incoherently to people making fun of you because you can't tell they're giving you shit for your bad take.

I'm saying you're pick and choosing your battles so you can feel bad about the modern world while ignoring the fact that you're a part of the growing movement against the corporate web.

The corporate hatred you have isn't new. Infinite growth isn't sustainable and the awareness of that is growing.

Newspapers, books, music, TV, aren't dead, they've continuing to evolve and independent creators are producing more worthwhile works than I'll ever make it through. And all of those were "dead" before the internet. "Video killed the radio star" after all. But, we've seen several newsrooms destroyed as not-profitable enough, only to get restarted as employee owned newsrooms. There's never been a better time to be a patron of the arts or a music fan.

Even so, the world doesn't exist online. Talk to people in your community. You'll feel better and the work and art they're creating is more impactful than "content".

I think that's too generalized. Print and written media existed for literally thousands of years before marketing finance.

Touch some grass.
