The recent attempted XZ Utils backdoor (CVE-2024-3094) may not be an isolated incident as evidenced by a similar credible takeover attempt intercepted by the OpenJS Foundation, home to JavaScript projects used by billions of websites worldwide. The Open Source Security (OpenSSF) and OpenJS Foundations are calling all open source maintainers to be alert for social engineering takeover attempts, to recognize the early threat patterns emerging, and to take steps to protect their open source projects.

My #picotron vector editor is pretty much done now, so I'm just making pictures in it to test that I'm happy with it before moving on with my life.

every day I think "my day would be greatly improved by a 4 hour long video essay on on why Mario 64 has invisible wall bugs" and today delivered: youtube.com/watch?v=YsXCVsDFiX

Quick advice to Americans doing their taxes at the last minute (as I do).

If you can't or won't pay the full amount owed by the tax deadline, just pay something.

Pay anything. Pay $1, pay $10, pay $100, and you'll go into the bucket of "underpayment" (which is common and relatively minor) versus "nonpayment" (which is serious, and gives them permission to garnish your wages.)

Best advice I ever got from a tax preparer.

I'm still broke, though I've got a temp job for now: they've not yet paid me, however, and I've had to pay something like 4k$ for two medications, and another 2k$ that was supposedly going to make the 4k$ free.

So any donations would be great. ko-fi.com/fooneturing

@mrconorae @Qyriad you just nerd sniped me into spending almost an hour on this joke, I hope you're happy

Obviously, we could have a better and more just world, and it is something we should strive for.

The question of the day is... Do Humans, as a species actually deserve that better more just world, or do we have the sort of world that we (again as a whole on the species level, not individuals) deserve?
