@mdhughes @rain leave out the semicolons.

Seriously, do people actually *do* this?

@codesections @rain it's even worse for a "reputable project" to do this, because that justifies it for everyone else.

Just don't. It's an anti-pattern, even with https.

Worse than pre-compiled binaries from a common pool.

@strypey @wjmaggos @djsumdog fossil fuels kill more people every year than nuclear power has ever.

Matural gas explosions alone top Chernobyl for immediate fatalities every decade, and that's not taking pollution into account.

@AskChip @emsenn saying things works. Sometimes you have to be brave enough to say them when it would be easier to let something slide, but all the gains we've had since the start of recorded history started with people saying "this thing is better than what we have, we should do this".

@mdszy it is pretty odd.

@mdszy dozenal?

@strypey @wjmaggos @djsumdog a few dozen from immediate trauma seems reasonable, with several thousand more from chronic effects.

Any reasonable analysis still has nuclear beating even the cleanest FF options, and cheaper once health costs are rolled in (for instance, how much do we spend per year trwating FF pollution induced asthma?)

@emsenn given that it's quite illegal to fire someone for union advocacy, of course you were wrong.

@bgcarlisle I have time for that.

@ahanon @gemlog it seems long, yet of all those companies I have only ever dealt with Curse and Amazon at all, and neither of those extensively.

The clothing brands pad the list a fair bit.

@mansr @fribbledom if the USB controller is programmable, definitely. If it's not you are limited to what it is already programmed to pass.

This might include full keyboard, if the manufacturer is saving money by having a single part instead of using a limited mouse dongle.

@Wolf480pl @SuperFloppies @fribbledom deleted comment with link due to unexplained lag in posting.

Bad USB+ Rubber Duck HID and all bets are off. Just hope that Logitech (or whoever) remembers to guard against 3 year old exploits.

@Wolf480pl @SuperFloppies @fribbledom the trick is to hack the dongle and use it to sniff the bus (or even as a beach head into the system).

@emsenn missed it before. Thanks for the link.

@fribbledom @Wolf480pl it's at very minimum a useful reminder, so I'm really just slightly miffed with the headline writer for aiming low.

@emsenn I was thinking rather in terms of "they are convinced that their debate and words are more powerful than they are, so they fear entities that can only act with words and debate and might be better at it than they are".

@Wolf480pl @fribbledom true, this isn't exactly news.

Maybe "*even* Logitech wireless HID are susceptible to eavesdropping and remote attacks"?

One word changes the meaning a lot, I think.
