Simply excluding this backdoor does not seem to be sufficient. The malicious actor has contributed over 750 commits to xz, all of which could contain further backdoors.

Downgrading to the last version without any contributions from the malicious actor is not possible either, because of new functionalities and other security issues that were fixed in the meantime. Uninstalling xz is also not possible, because half my system depends on it.

I guess it will take some time to sort all of that out. I am very impressed by the fast and coordinated response to this incident by the FOSS community.

Für 150 M€ könnte man auch einen Radweg von Berlin nach Hamburg bauen. Wäre glaube ich sinnvoller. Aber was weiß ich schon.

Ein Verkaufs-/Vertriebsverbot könnte ich irgendwie noch nachvollziehen, aber dass VW einfach so rechtmäßig erworbenes fremdes Eigentum konfiszieren und vernichten darf, entspricht nicht meinem Rechtsverständnis.

I am using Librera Reader. Make sure to install the F-Droid version (Librera FD) without Google Play services.

It is primarily an ebook reader that supports a variety of formats, but it is also an excellent PDF viewer. Significantly more feature-rich than any other FOSS PDF viewer for Android that I have found.

Ja, aber OpenStreetMap basiert auch darauf, dass Personen GPS Traces hochladen, um die Wegführung zu erfassen. Das würde durch ein solches Gesetz aber erschwert werden, wenn man beim Hochladen von solches Tracks wenn man nicht aufpasst mit rechtlichen Konsequenzen rechnen muss.

Not sure where you got that impression from. The booster apparently worked flawlessly during ascent, with all 33 engines working until stage separation. Only 30s into the boostback burn, the AFTS triggered after several engines shut down prematurely. The second stage was deployed successfully, and completed most of its burn, before being lost only around half a minute before scheduled (sub)orbit insertion, around 3km/h short of the required velocity.

Here, the developer explained why development activity decreased:

While it is true that due to private reasons I had to take a bit of a pause of developing FlorisBoard and some time passed with no progress at all, implementing a completely new statistical NLP (Natural Language Processing) provider, or in laymans terms the long-awaited word prediction and spell-checking implementation, is also a huge task which takes a lot of time and trial-error and development time.

You might have heard of alternative frontends to services such as YouTube (Piped, Invidious), X/Twitter (Nitter), etc.

Something similar exists for Fandom: Breezewiki. This instance seems to occasionally result in errors, other instances seem to work more reliable.

Windows is in the wrong, not Linux.

reg.exe add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation /v RealTimeIsUniversal /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

Das wird nicht damit enden, dass ich mir Werbung anschauen werde. Selbst wenn ich mir dafür Augen und Ohren zuhalten muss.

Naja, fürs erste scheint Piped noch zu funktionieren.

Connection attempts from the FBI? Could you specify that a bit further?
