i want to say that Lasse Collin and Jia Tan clearly don't spend enough time touching grass, but i hope they never do. lol
Given what Jai Tan did, surely it would have been better if they'd done nothing /but/ touch grass, and stayed away from computers altogether?
(Whilst nobody knows for sure, it's possible JT was a state actor rather than an individual)
I think one generally has to assume that state actors are targeting open source projects for supply chain attacks.
Super interesting, thanks!
Great read
Regarding Lasse Collin, technically he did eventually open a liberapay page where people can donate to him, though it's only at €60/week as of writing.
Very good read, subscribed to see what happens.
