@possiblylinux127@BobGnarley One would hope there are enough checks and balances such a major opensource project as Linux to keep malware out of the kernel regardless of who contributes to it, but we do there have been some instances where that was not the case.
I see the evolution of the Internet as humanity growing a nervous system, and anything that gets in the way of that as negative.
@BobGnarley@possiblylinux127 My take as well, but for the record, Putin is well aware of how Bolsheviks affected his nation and not eager to repeat it so not a big supporter of Communism himself.
Do you fail to remember how the tech world collectively cringe at one guy who intentionally injected malware into his own npm library to delete all data from Russia and Belarus?

I don’t agree with communists either but open source software is supposed to be about more than that

I’ve never heard of malware making into the kernel. The closest I’ve head was that university “research project” that tried to insert backdoors.

What communists?
How to piss off people 101.
