@gregkh@social.kernel.org @joshbressers@infosec.exchange What you are describing is called a "negative externality".

@buherator@infosec.place @joshbressers@infosec.exchange @gregkh@social.kernel.org I wouldn't call it an externality, since it only affects those who use Linux. It's not like you had a perfectly peaceful software ecosystem and suddenly someone started making Linux, which makes you suffer even if you don't use Linux. No, it only hurts you if you do use it, and the alternative is no Linux at all.
