1. Around April, there was this big thing where a maintainer for XZ Compression included an SSH backdoor in binaries that were only built on release. If a freaking piece of compression software can backdoor SSH, who knows what else is possible.
2. The response to the blob concern is nonsensical, made without their previously-known accounts, and coincide with someone’s claim that they are a close friend and was on vacation to China, the country where the XZ maintainer was from.

I don’t get it; what do you think they’re doing?

1. Okay, I stand corrected, NASA tests probably didn’t disintegrate. But something to consider is that SpaceX has always expected that the pretty early tests would fail as you can see in their statements.
2. The Starship tests didn’t crash either. The first three disintegrated at different points in time and the fourth succeeded (albeit with one engine failure out of 33 and slight damage on reentry).

I thought it was clear from the details that it was suspicious. Edited.

note that the blobs aren’t unknown, they’re builds of submodules that the developer hopefully hasn’t added malware to

I was gonna answer that it’s both, but now I see that that’s New Latin.

I think you meant descriptivist.

it says “usually we don’t do that”, emphasis mine, and i’m an anarchist :D

The podcast sourced this:

Mullenweg has publicly challenged companies in the WordPress industry, including those in competition with his own company. He prefers to settle disputes in the court of public opinion and describes his approach as “brinksmanship”, noting that the potential cost of legal action could put Automattic in a “tough spot”.[24]

The first sentence was changed to the following in the interim before I summon the will to attend the podcast again. Haven’t found what it meant originally yet.

On several occasions, Mullenweg has publicly challenged competitors to WordPress and WordPress.com.

Yeah, I understand that. It seems a bit misleading worded that way, though.

Actually, as the article says, “octopodes” is older than “octopi” as the real Latin plural; the latter was invented when a bunch of fancy Englishmen saw that pig Latin was in fashion.

No

I’m glad that the gist of the Wikipedia thing has finally been implemented, but it currently has major glean issues

In my impression, the payload includes the entire spacecraft, none of which is part of the rocket.

Did the watershed event also cause the death of 50 messengers and a war between two world superpowers?

I was under the impression that a “rocket” does not include the payload. Now that I search it up, I am not sure what to call that part.

that’s not what I see in a private tab.

I take the part about “a small part” back as that’s a misleading term for what I meant: The Super Heavy booster is much bigger in both technology/complexity and physical size and has many more parts than the old space shuttle rockets as it needs to carry the weight of two space shuttle orbiters. Plus, spaceplane is weird.
