The Open-Source Software Prevalence Initiative, announced at DEF CON, will examine how open source software is used in critical infrastructure.

National Cyber Director Harry Coker announced the initiative at the DEF CON conference in Las Vegas. Funding for the project, which seeks to learn how open source software is used in critical infrastructure and with the ultimate goal of strengthening national cybersecurity, comes from the 2021 Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.

Meaningless. The state wastes $20b on genocide in just one quarter.

Go ahead and explain open source to Sen. Bloodfeast. His response will most certainly contain the word “communism”.

Just let Linux Torvalds at him. He'll tell that moron to fuck off.

People really dislike when you point out US support for genocide. But do the same for Russian and Chinese genocide in any threads vaguely relating to those countries, you're cheerled to the top of the comments.

Despicable human behaviour.
