Yeah, I know. If I was in a sensible mood this AM, I probably wouldn't have started this chain. But if you look back to my first comment, I did say it was probably a coincidence.

Ooh, you don't have enough brain to make an actual argument. No real surprise there.

The truth hurts doesn't it!

As the article says, only when it blew up. But you're right, the author doesn't look good either.

More honestly, I enjoy a good conspiracy theory with my coffee.

Why wait. Start switching now.

Probably the easiest way to get a backup is backintime and an external disk. Although if you really care about your data you should use a 3-2-1 strategy.

The only site wide protest that counts is not to use it

Maybe TMI about his sex life

It was still malicious code. A different attack for sure, but no less devastating for the victims.

However, manjaro places the button to enable it right next to enabling snaps and flatpaks. Both of which are perfectly safe to install if not safer than average packages.

The snap store has already been used to distribute malware, one guy lost a lot of money in crypto, and I'm sure it wasn't an isolated incident. I think it would be naive to think flathub isn't being targeted in the same way. Same advice as the aur, be cautious.
