>A critical flaw present in every operating system since 1971 allows anyone who opens a terminal to obtain a fully interactive shell. Instantly. With no authentication beyond the one they already did.
The voice tone makes it clear that I'm not trying to be mean, unfortunates it's hard to convey such a thing in writing (that's of of the reasons emoji exist)
This is the most stupid thing i read today
You must be fun at parties.
..I laughed.

It's hilarious how this has made so many people angry.
Some people really need to lighten up. Learn to have a laugh.
I haven't seen anybody angry about it, at least in this thread
There's one angry comment so far on HN:

But there's also a lot of angry responses on the Xitter post.
That was my comment and i wasn't angry when i posted it. It's like when you say "This is very stupid" after a friend of yours tells you a joke
you must be a great friend to be around if that's your response to jokes

Happy to laugh at something that is actually funny, but this is just stupid.

WOW!
This is an obvious joke for attention.
If anyone falls for this, I can't save you.
It has a website, a logo, and ends in "2Shell". It must be real!
Obvious joke, sure.
"for attention" though is a weird thing to add. Not sure why you feel the need to add this negative connotation.
