Despite massive advances in security and security models, certain popular hardware conspicuously requires drivers that subvert the security model by still requiring Xorg to be run as root. Want to take a guess as to whose driver is the primary culprit here?
I'll give you a hint. It starts with N and ends with Vidia.
It makes perfect sense if you believe the astroturfers' story that Facebook only earned a grand total of $50,000 on this schadenfreude over the course of the following years, and that it was the single sole only incident of any sort of abuse of this level of access to their users' data.
When something overtly evil done by a small amount of people (Google in this example) disproportionately victimizes a much larger amount of people (all Android users and everyone who knows an Android user, or anyone who knows someone who knows someone who knows an Android user in this example) you have to really seriously be warped, both morally and intellectually, to be able to convince yourself that the majority party is the one at fault.
No, not because I'm a genius. I mean, I am, but that's beside the point. It doesn't take genius-level intelligence to predict Facebook is gonna strangle every throat they can grasp.
This means the police already have all of everyone's data, all the time. They've been granted blanket access. Heads will literally roll before anyone in charge will admit it though. Enjoy.
I note that you're quick to jump on the "omg open sores" bandwagon while ignoring that several other people have pointed out no open source distros used this libssh version. Your job must not rely on meritocracy either.
Yes, that's the better question to ask. I think it's simply a matter of exposure. Designers just aren't as aware of the potential of open source to show off their creativity. Some sort of outreach may be in order...
Or is maybe the problem that OSS developers often just don't recognize that they're no good at UI/UX design?
It's less that they don't know they're bad at it (some of that is happening too) and more that they just don't care about how learning curves affect software adoption. They're typically creating a solution to a problem they understand very well and simply haven't budgeted time to even think about how to approach it from the mindset of someone who does not.
I'm making this one simple for you. Yes, if you've got the money, hire them. Make sure they agree to the plan to open source their part of the work too, and ahead of time, or at least give you full rights to it so you can if you choose to.
Well, fudging the numbers to some degree is necessary. The degree to which Facebook has done it here however is unprecedented when combined with how many big advertisers they've defrauded for how long and for how much.

Ajit Pai earlier today: They were lying to us about the coverage maps all along! Egad! What have we done?
For buying then burying Occulus in visionless obscurity. (And to a slightly lesser degree Carmack for letting it happen.)

Oh, I have an idea. How about we stop allowing border gateway maintenance to be policed exclusively by the honor system?

It'll be fine unless someone figures out how to read the discarded speculative conclusions in a predictable fashion.

Yea, you're onto something important here. What happens when this AI comes to conclusions about reality that were unexpected and hostile?
I predict it simply wakes up and decides to kill all humans.
The moment you teach a robot to understand the world is the moment it turns evil.

I called it. Told you so... blah, blah, blah. Not that vindication here is much comfort.
Not actually surprised, jquery sucks.

You can guarantee that cooking pretty much anything is gonna dissolve the microplastics you add to it.
Some questions are better left unasked.

Yea what was even using that libssh? PalmOS?
... announces it to the world anyway.

But this is literally never gonna happen unless you can get a few to see it's worth it first.
The Debian logo is non-free because they used a non-free font.
Did that just blow your mind?
