    Madthumbs - the account named after a defunct porn site, creates a “Linux sucks” community (from which I was banned on day 1 lol) to spread lies about shit that’s already solved, or things that are a problem for any OS/computer hardware as an exclusively Linux problem and anyone takes that shit seriously?

    Dude’s got mental problems.

    The point about a single dev taking out multiple programs isn’t exactly wrong (relevant xkcd). But it’s a very entitled attitude. If part of the stack is that critical to you (especially for business), maybe consider supporting it or contributing to it.

    The real issue is knowing when this is the case. Has anyone seen a solution for that?

      It’s also not unique to F/OSS. This could well happen in a business, and often does.

      Has anyone seen a solution for that?

      Short answer, anything that does dependency tracking and pinning. If a new release of a library comes out, you shouldn’t just upgrade to it without testing.

      On a desktop Linux OS, I would expect the distro maintainers to do that testing before it gets pushed to their repos (as an example).

    So capable of making sentences but still full of the dumbest thing possible. It’s impressive how stupid madthumbs truly is.

    Sometimes I check lemmy just for the antics.

    I followed that community for entertainment purposes. They are off the meds and/or a shill being paid by some unconventional means.

    Other fun spots to watch from a distance:
