As a cybersecurity professional from where do you hail? I'm trying to understand the community around here.

My "feeling" is that there are quite a few Americans around here, but I would like to better understand the diaspora.

I know this is not the most intelligent of polls but as a start mkay? Boost if you don't mind :)

I'm surprised to learn this week that French and British museums consider theft wrong

Security conference talks fall into two categories
* we designed a distributed entropy siphon to perform a black-box hypervisor side channel escape and chain-load a persistent rootkit into the CPU cache
* we looked behind the sofa and found an entire industry of products/services that have made no attempt at security at all and are therefore vulnerable to the most basic issues that we've been finding in everything for the past 30 years, and no-one else had bothered to look.

I've seen a lot of religious debate on here lately, so today's Low Quality Ad is for these Disappointed Jesus pins. I've never read the Bible, and I'm 99.9% sure that most people who quote Jesus haven't either.

Ubuntu mod team takes anti-queer "Don't say gay" stance.
Show content

Please boost for awareness.

Recently one of my friends posted an introduction post to the official Ubuntu forums.

https://web.archive.org/web/20250905060630/https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/lukas-here-hello-to-all/66658
(original link: https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/lukas-here-hello-to-all/66658 )

Seems fine except for maybe a bit of bad grammar around the "I am also a furry" part right? Well turns out behind the scenes the post was edited to not say "I am queer" before mentioning being a furry, and they got in a lotta trouble with the mods. This led to them no longer feeling welcome on the Ubuntu discourse forums.

The reason given was that the word Queer is a sexual word, which is just patently untrue. Saying you're queer gives less info into your sex life than mentioning your wife/husband, and if that was banned it'd be fucking stupid. Of course by the responses of the mods, it is made clear that that's not the real reason, and instead they're making the decision because of politics.

In the next few posts I'll talk about these extremely problematic moderator responses.

Also fixed the wayback link for the update. Damn I gotta get better at using that site lmao.

Edit 1: made it more clear why I see canonical as having taken a far right stance on the issue, on top of the obvious argument that the stance of their moderators represents the stance of the company/project.

Update 2: things get better, or do they?
