Now that's not creepy at all

Sure, no problem... I'll just trigger reader mode in Firefox instead

They paint themselves as an arrogant and problematic client to deal with.

Huh, apparently they sometimes behave like that with customers as well: https://lemmy.ml/comment/14451901

Well, at least they used to be a while back: https://l.opnxng.com/r/SuggestALaptop/comments/ukgaf/general_consensus_on_malibal/

Just tried to find teardowns of more recent laptops of theirs to see if it's still the case, rather unsuccessfully. Although, I've found a few more reviews (in addition to those in the comments):

Soo, now I'm even more skeptical of their statement that their communications to those developers were nothing but polite

I'm wondering if syncthing in gplay can show some kind of warning that the app is discontinued pointing to use the fork version on f-droid, or, if that's prohibited by play's EUFOA (end-user fuckover agreement), discussion on the forums mentioning the existence of said fork... [addit: So, kinda like what termux folks did, but less covertly]

Ooo, pretty, thanks!

Is there a similar list of ~~good stuff~~ [sry, ofc I mean notorious criminals stealing what little money a licensor needs to buy a new yacht] but for music?

[–] fl42v@lemmy.ml 4 points 4 weeks ago

I mean, I see a usecase for that, given you make a separate community for that, and not, say, spam c/technology with everything posted on XDA. So, kinda like RSS with comments. I personally follow hackaday both here and via RSS.

Alternatively, one can mirror someone who publishes rarely and only cool stuff. I remember mr.d0x being such a guy (now I don't really follow security-related things much, so mb it's changed, but I doubt it)

Nope, it didn't when I last checked (mb ½year ago). Also, it has analytics and stuff.

I personally ended up cloning mercury and adding a few of those patches myself, which is quite easy since you don't need to add toggles (you always use what you use, and can skip adding what you don't use)

So, the "[edit: ~~last~~] previous update" was built from ac41318, since then there were exactly 2 commits:

Both do not immediately look malicious. So, either the release is poisoned (in which case you can build it from source and see if still detected), or the repo was poisoned before, and the payload didn't activate until those changes, or AVs decided to crackdown on random shit running their code in other law-abiding processes' address space 🤣

Well, I guess nixos itself isn't too overcomplicated, but fun begins when you start layering abstractions over abstractions 😁

Idk, being born in the early 2000s didn't make torrenting any harder. Dare I say, it was the opposite: in the 10s, when I got into all this this, there already was a bunch of well-established trackers with tons of content one could use without fear of downloading a piece of malware instead of a new shiny game, for example.
