He’s grasping at straws to try and prevent the AI bubble popping.

Do you still have to pay in petrodollars?

I talked to a frontender recently who said they had less pleasure writing frontend, because AI could make it look as good as they wanted in a fraction of the time. Has AI changed anything for you?

I was “encouraged” to use AI at work for frontend and while it output functional stuff, lifting the hood on the how, terrified me. 😅

This is the type of shit that haunts me. Imagine overloading “>>” for piping and hiding threading behind that. The idea was to create an async pipe, but nowhere are you aware of async or threading or whatever was chosen. You look at the code and think “of it’s like piping to stdout” or whatever, only to find out that the method immediately returns.

Tracking down what the hell is happening with code that has such hidden side effects is a nightmare.

Are you still in the C++ world?

Lol, so if using their project gets them fame and money to fuck up my country or harm people that look like me, according to you I should just keep going?

Genius advice. Truly enlightened.

He is indeed the reason I quit protonmail. His pro trump crap was annoying

People have made NULL to be a random number on a specific day. As a goodbye present :D

“everything is a file” Might be interesting. And monolithic kernels.

cpp and their operator overloads are also insane. It makes understanding cpp code impossible. A “+” could actually do something completely different or have insane side-effects. Truly superior language for spreading confusion.

C++ developer, lol. They are walking vulnerability output factories.

Linus doesn’t want you and your kind fave down in a gutter. Stop pretending this is about a mere disagreement in harmless beliefs.

“I will happily promote the project of a person who openly says people like me should be shot. What’s the problem?”

Agree with half of that. C++ is last century stuff and should be replaced. Any new code in C and C++ is immediately a vulnerability.

I guess we entertained each other for long enough 🤷

You ignore Pegasus, the CLOUD act, applications unable to start, play down their bug bounty program and their position as an ad company. You say you follow the fruit farm very closely for very long, but didn’t know about any of the things I posted. It doesn’t seem like you ever were going to take anything i posted seriously. Can’t say I’m surprised.

Anyway, you’re probably rooting for more ethical opensource instead of less (at least I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt). Have a nice life.

I was however asking links about your more wild claims “Iphones haven been hacked”, “bezos has been hacked” etc. Those are very hard to believe without any evidence.

• iphones hacked and jeff bezos hacked: Pegasus
• Apple Users Report Seeing Other People’s Photos When Using iCloud for Windows
• China has for a long time now had access to iCloud of Chinese customers (since at least 2018)
• Macs couldn’t start applications because of a single server being down
• A primer to the CLOUD act which means the US government can and does access data on Apple’s servers
• Apple Is an Ad Company Now

Enjoy the read.

Bug bounties. Depending on your response to this, I’ll go out and find more links to substantiate claims.

I misremembered the first one as there was a lot of negative news regarding the security program. Here it is: from 2020 [We Hacked Apple for 3 Months: Here’s What We Found] (https://samcurry.net/hacking-apple)

Here are the negative reports:

• 2021-07-21 - Security Researcher ‘Feels Robbed’ After Apple Refuses to Pay Bug Bounty
• 2021-09-10 Apple’s bug bounty program is coming under criticism - here’s why
• 2025-12-02 - Security researcher fumes at low macOS bug bounty awards
• 2026-07-10 - State of the Apple Security Bounty program

The last one is about the community uproar regarding the nerfs to their bug bounty program. That’s probably the most relevant right now.

I’m on a phone right now, but look up any of those claims.

But from what I’m getting is no matter what claims I substantiate, you will deny deny deny. So, let’s not kid ourselves, you aren’t here to have your eyes opened, you’re here to defend the fruit store at all costs. If I’m wrong, look up one claim I made and if they’re true and you admit it, we can continue and I’ll look for proof of the others.

Fruity mobiles have been hacked multiple times. The Israelis routinely do so. Pegasus might right a bell. Jeff Bezos was even a victim.

Also, the fruit store’s App Store still has malware despite the 30% they steal from developers in the name of “security”.

The company also sells ads and ad placements BTW. If that isn’t an indication of their goals…

Regarding bounties, they have regularly snubbed white hats and pentesters. They are one of the most wealthy companies in the world and hate paying bounties. The one I remember clearly is a dude finding exploits in their supply chain, which could’ve led to the attacker sending phones anywhere they wanted and emptying warehouses or adding unnecessary stock. They for nothing, yet the bugs were quietly resolved. Any adversary could thus do what the Israelis did and reroute shipments to modify material before it reaches its destination.

And let’s not forget the incident where people started seeing photos on their phones from other people’s iCloud, or employees repeatedly snooping on iCloud accounts, especially of celebrities, despite the data being “encrypted”.

Or that time Macs couldn’t function because some server somewhere was getting DDOSed?

Finally, it’s a US company. The CLOUD Act and Patriot Act force(d) them to so what was decided in secret courts, without ever being given the right to expose it.

There’s more, you just have to care to look for it. They are masters of marketing. That’s their entire thing and you are falling for it. Remember that corps aren’t here dlr you. They are here for the money. Especially big companies like that.

Don’t buy shit from the fruit store and degoogle your phone if it’s an Android. Maybe in the future we will have a fully featured linux phone that the masses can buy, but we aren’t there yet. Until then, degoogled android is all we realistically have for the normies.

Aldo, Snowden? Hadn’t seen that name in a while. It’s a pity no country besides Russia gave him amnesty.
