The shutdown is also exactly why communities should be investing in tooling. Had they gone with a fully distributed model there would be no central service to close and the communities using it could have kept doing so regardless of Mozillas involvement. Instead they went "cloud native" and initially relied on a specific cloud platform which basically locks everyone into a final shutdown regardless of who "owns" the cloud.

So, kids, what's the moral of the XZ story?

If you're going to backdoor something, make sure that your changes don't impact its performance. Nobody cares about security - but if your backdoor makes the thing half a second slower, some nerd is going to dig it up.

@glyph @eb I'm frustrated that big tech's efforts to increase core library security are "your project is too popular, you must use 2FA" and "the best reverse engineers in the world will find your bugs and put you on a 90 day disclosure deadline" and not "here is $100K/year and benefits to keep doing what you're doing at your own pace."

What's the point of getting Youtube Premium when all the good youtube channels shove "sponsor messages" into their videos anyway.

The new #NintendoSwitch emulator, #Suyu, has had an eventful week being released, being taken down, and then making a return! Here is a quick recap if you missed the Suyu Saga:

Note to self: Don't answer messages when tired even if they seem time sensitive.

Imagine you’re writing a book and on page 345 you make a grammar error. The paragraph becomes completely ineligible, and the whole plotline you had going falls apart. Now the ink smears and whole pages turns black, and actually the book catches fire and you cannot touch it without it bursting into flames.

This is what programming is like.

"The Right to Repair movement seeks to make the repair of tech devices more accessible, affordable, and mainstream. Existing structures supported by the technology industry are often unsustainable in that they promote the purchase of new devices and disincentive their repair. This puts up barriers to the creation of a circular economy, which would help to reduce the enormous mass of e-waste disposed of every year."

If you give someone a program, you may frustrate them for a day.

If you teach someone how to program, you can frustrate them for a lifetime.

The only downside is that others seem to enjoy using their computers for work on weekends and I end up missing emails sent after my work hours 💀

Mobile apps made computing worse because they renoved the "undo my press of the back button" button. Wish I could do that for instagram 😭

Yapping about tech 

I really dislike apps because they're so segregated compared to cli programs. When you use an app it pretends it's the only thing that exists and there's usually no way to change it that isn't a pain in the ass. Once you can do some tricks in bash yiu basically get master over the cli apps and can stay closer to organizing data how you like it. GUIs with shared fs access are nice but it's not the norm and getting alternative apps for the same function is more of a pita

Remember: If you can't just draw a line on your screen it's not a "personal" computer *at all*.
