Can’t say that anyone saw this coming

You’re missing the point. They are blocking the security patches themselves. “Google has a policy to…” is invalid when a nation state, especially not one with one of the strongest intelligence gathering apparatus in the world, has a law telling them what to do.

Google already works with the intelligence agencies. It would be naive to assume otherwise

A completely random person anonymously putting the information out online is not the person releasing the security patch. That’s probably why they are focusing of the updates themselves. Easier to hold someone responsible

Police knocking on your door stop you. This is clearly an attempt to protect their own backdoors from being patched so they can continue eavesdropping

I don’t think so no. You’ve really gotta put some force into it to create one

Someone call 112 (/911) There has been a massacre over here

Mate, you’re the one who said “everybody”. I’m glad to see I have convinced you to step off of that soapbox and see reality a bit more

Can you try to actually read properly what I wrote?! I’m not saying that you, a Linux maximalist, can’t care about both issues in the middle East and your open source operating system. I’m saying that there are plenty of people who have bigger issues (such as the being bombed) to have space to care about Linux

Your statements that everyone must care about Linux otherwise they don’t care about property rights etc is completely misguided

Maybe there are rights more immediately important to people than the vague, long term rights associated with an open source operating system for their computer?

“everybody ought to care about Linux” - you, a few minutes ago. I’m taking your statement to the extreme to show how ridiculous it is

Maybe Palestinian children shouldn’t need to care about Linux. Maybe there are also lots of other people who shouldn’t need to care about Linux. My point was to make you see outside of your world

Please enlighten me how Linux will save Palestinian children from being bombed

… Just to put your little world in context of the big world outside the window

We must burn the AI Infront of an embassy!
