Could we talk about Unity? I’d wager that these bugs wouldn’t have been found by 2027 if Ubuntu hadn’t adopted sudo-rs. And I’d say “look at where Unity is right now” if they hadn’t switched to GNOME Shell.

there’s regular and then there’s LTS releases for a reason

One of the patches is to prevent the sudo password from being leaked in case of a timeout or sudo being killed. Another patch is to use enum for the feedback parameter.

the circuit court just rejected the stay application, so SNAP payouts are a go!

(poor people getting aid they’re already supposed to get is not very uplifting tho imo)
