Ohh so it's the NSA that my failed sudos are reported to!
Recent versions of sudo changed that message and now I'm sad 😢
Damn, I'm going to miss those messages one day on my Debian stable server.
Switch to doas so feds don't get any more reports!
The story does not tell us how Linus Torvalds responded to the NSA, but I’m guessing he told them he wouldn’t be able to inject backdoors even if he wanted to, since the source code is open, and all changes to it are reviewed by many independent people.
Yeah I'm guessing the answer would be more colorful based on the historical data we have
Also experience shows that it's possible to backdoor software in very subtle ways that could go years without anyone spotting them. So if he had decided to he probably could have done it, despite Linux being open source.

There aren't enough swear-words in the English language, so now I'll have to call you perkeleen vittupää just to express my disgust and frustration with this crap.
Beautiful
It's like our very own Gordon Ramsay
This is beautiful. Thank you! lol
I would pay money to see daddy Linus flip off some big shot intelligence official
Oh man would die to see his reply. It would probably start with something like
"The fact that I have to explain this to a person who works in a national security agency makes me really worried..."
