"This release features an important security update to Tor Browser for Linux users. On Linux systems with GVfs/GIO support Firefox allows to bypass proxy settings as it ships a whitelist of supported protocols. Once an affected user navigates to a specially crafted URL the operating system may directly connect to the remote host, bypassing Tor Browser. Tails and Whonix users, and users of our sandboxed Tor Browser are unaffected, though."

GNOME needs systemd which is a product of RedHat. Which is controlled by its chairman Shelton. That is a career military officer.
Anyone got the message? ;-)

2.) I can generalize that quite a bit. When systemd has a readily apparent benefit, however minor, and the potential negative effects seem abstract and tenuous by comparison, no matter how catastrophic the potential effect, it will be written off and ignored by most humans. As a species, we're just that short-sighted.

Hah! He says systemd just works, if you say it doesn't work for you you have no credibility. Fuck that guy

So, who should we blame for this - RedHat (current majority contributor to Gnome), well known for things such as systemd, or Miguel de Icaza (originator of Gnome), well known for trying to push .NET into Linux?
