@arstechnica maybe they left LLMs in charge.
@arstechnica
They just installed too many snaps.
@arstechnica I love your reporting, y'all, but is it *really* necessary for all the tracking BS in your links? I feel like I have to delete half the URL before sharing your stuff. FFS.
What are the chances that this is NOT sabotage because you know, "legacy" OS's like Mac and microslop..?
@arstechnica i'm sure that's just a coincidence
@arstechnica LOL so now we know the exploit works.
@arstechnica Damn they just launched 26 too. bummer
