Why Linux is safe from viruses:

Downloaded a virus for Linux lately and unpacked it. Tried to run it as root, didn't work. Googled for 2 hours, found out that instead of /usr/local/bin the virus unpacked to /usr/bin for which the user malware doesn't have any write permissions, therefore the virus couldn't create a process file. Found patched , configure and make files on some Chinese forum, recompiled and rerun it. The virus said it needs the library cmalw-lib-2.0. […]

Lol, even the open source LLM projects are banning vibe coded contributions: https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/blob/master/AGENTS.md

They had previously had a policy of "all AI assisted contributions need to be human reviewed before submitting them", but got too many people breaking that rule and submitting fully vibe coded contributions, and even trying to use their chatbots to answer questions about the PRs, so are now actively using the AGENTS.md file to instruct the chatbots to not write code for them and warn them about the policy.

Incredible (but predictable) : #Microsoft has blocked the International Criminal Court's access (#ICC) to its services on the orders of the #Trump mafia.

Read that carefully : an international organisation that has no presence in the United States and no US legal rights has had its work tools blocked simply because it disagrees with the Trump administration. 🚩

Get the hell out of it right now.

Trump's sanctions on ICC prosecutor have halted tribunal's work

Nearly three months ago, U.S. President Donald Trump slapped sanctions on the International Criminal Court's chief prosecutor, Karim Khan. He has lost access to his email and his bank accounts have been frozen. American staffers at The Hague-based court also have been told that if they travel to the U.S. they risk arrest. In addition, some nongovernmental organizations have stopped working with the ICC. Rights groups say these problems will prevent victims of war crimes from getting justice.
