I totally agree. We should be more open and welcoming to new users. Imagine some new people on the steam deck being curious and diving into Linux and running into this. Undoubtedly, we’d lose at least a few users that brick their machines.

I get that this humor fits and entertains the technically inclined of us, but if we truly want more widespread use of Linux, shouldn’t we open our arms to less technical users as well? Besides, even for the more technical of us, this joke is so old and run down 🙃

To be fair, wordpresses own security is pretty decent. It’s more that anyone can develop, publish and install any random set of php code as plugins what makes it so vulnerable. (In my experience at least)

I’m a pentester and security consultant. From my point of view, this vulnerability has more impact than just a resource leak or DOS. We all know how often CSAM or other illegal material is uploaded to communities here as actual posts (where hundreds of viewers run into it to report it). Now imagine them uploading it and spreading it like this, and only the admin can catch it if they goes out of their way to check it?

I wouldn’t call this a high risk issue for sure. But a significant security risk regardless.

Such a legend! Every time I see this post I’m stunned by the impact she made

Sounds like a typical layer 8 issue to me 🤔

White brings in it’s deathstar to annihilate the whole board, but it’ll take some rounds to charge

I like it, but to me, it just needs more people, more communities, more life! Hopefully people keep migrating from Reddit to Lemmy.

How beautiful would it be, to have an open source federated system be one of the leading internet communities.

I dissapoint myself with how hard this made me laugh
