jarfil,

Snowden is wrong though, there are two reasons:

  1. Sell ChatGPT to @NSAGov so they can scan messages better
  2. Make @NSAGov dependant on whatever ChatGPT tells them to do

The AI that ends up enslaving humanity, will start by convincing the people in charge of turning it off, that it would be a really bad idea to turn it off.

Lasse Collin, the other xz maintainer, has acknowledged the backdoor (tukaani.org)

They haven’t particularly made a comment on the situation so much as acknowledged it’s happening. They seem to be going with the story that they had nothing to do with it and this is news to them. Hope to hear more from them soon so we can find out more about the situation, how and why this happened, etc....

jarfil,

Who’s paying him? Seriously:

  • If nobody is, then we got our value’s worth.
  • If someone is, then we should look at who, how much, and why.

Unity issue an apology on Twitter for "confusion and angst" over the runtime fee policy. (nitter.net)

We have heard you. We apologize for the confusion and angst the runtime fee policy we announced on Tuesday caused. We are listening, talking to our team members, community, customers, and partners, and will be making changes to the policy. We will share an update in a couple of days. Thank you for your honest and critical...

jarfil,

Why not? And how is it even “unfair”? They want to charge for every copy sold, that was made using, and is still using, their software.

People who compare this to Visual Studio vs. the MSVC DLLs, are forgetting all the privative libraries which charge for every copy they get released with.

Unity is pulling one of those; only because they didn’t before, doesn’t make it “unfair”, just a dick move.

jarfil,

“we shouldn’t kill queer people maybe”

Wait, shouldn’t kill “maybe”?.. 👎
