Seeing hard pejoratives used to demean specially-abled living beings casually thrown around on these lists is shocking but not surprising and reveals more about the quality of this ML than any spam.
ROTFLMAO :)
You haven't been here long enough to have lived the saga of SUSE/openSUSE/SUSE from the times of Pro releases and boxed sets on floppies ... well before the 2005 deal with the devil.
If you had, you would have understood the humor in the post :)
Are you talking about the 2006 deal between M$ and Novell? Don't forget, when those patent claims were resolved, Novell wound up getting about $300 million more from M$ than vice versa. Plus, despite all the howling from the rest of the OSS world, I really don't see any evidence today, nearly 20 years later, that any of the predictions of doom and gloom have happened? Or does anyone have any real evidence that the Linux world has suffered as a result? Or perhaps you are talking about "deal with the devil, part 2", which was a 2015 deal between M$ and the Linux Foundation, whereby Azure certification requires passing the /Linux Foundation Certified System Administrator/ exam. Nearly 10 years on, and I haven't noticed any bits of sky falling as a result of this one either. As for your latest contribution to the meat of this topic, I cite a recent post of yours:
and seriously, I noticed a huge upsurge in not only spam, but in direct server intrusion attempts during the past six-months or so. I had 3 kids grow up during the early gaming craze (say 2005 - present). The kids e-mails/accounts associated with the server are used in intrusion attempts from all over the globe.
Perhaps the huge upsurge of spam is a result, not of spam posts on HyperKitty, but rather of your kids' behaviour on the internet; otherwise, how do their email accounts even enter into the picture?
