Nelek implies that you're a cat fancier. Is that so?

I suspect because I overly reuse a running gag about cat videos whenever there's a news item about YouTube. However, we have had many cats over the years (down to just the one boring one now).
She's not too fancy.

I meant what Kent would have said that those eyes (all linux fans) were staring to not find the bug.
It was a sarcasm about the news and about the typical argument that linux is much more secure because everyone can look into the source code. Additionally adding the recurrent gag of cat videos when there is a post about youtube here as a joke 
I suppose I mixed too much at once.
EDIT: To be honest... my first impulse was to write pr0n too

The main advantage of Linux and Opens Source is that everyone can fork the code, and boy if they do. Many projects are pretty forked up.

The famous Fred Brooks paper “No Silver Bullet – Essence and Accident in Software Engineering“ published in 1987 stated that: “there is no single development, in either technology or management technique, which by itself promises even one order of magnitude [tenfold] improvement within a decade in productivity, in reliability, in simplicity.” If you can't use natural intelligence?

A Gartner report predicts that the second-order consequences of widespread AI will have massive societal impacts, to the point of making us unsure if and when we can trust our own eyes. "Looking at the world through rose colored glasses, everything is rosy now."

We don't need to wait for AI for that... Look at the world today and you can already find a big % of the population that see and hear what they want, and don't believe anything you can show them.

This is the strongest indicator, yet, that cookie-managers are working.
Online Privacy and Online Piracy (by officially nefarious entities). The parallels are so obvious. It's a battle between virus'/malware and anti-virus/anti-malware and general O/S attacks. In the case of cookies - they're waning in effectiveness as browsers (like FireFox) have built-in management. Evolving, there was even machine fingerprinting so they identify you device and follow it and now finger-printing blockers, etc etc etc etc etc etc etc.
I use ad-blockers (with a few exceptions, like CP) - so sites fight back with disallowing use without the ads. Round and round it goes - reminiscent, perhaps, of the swirling observed in a porcelain convenience?
