Sure if you browse by github but in my use of the site over the years I go to the repo from the webpage of the project or from another source such as a link from a blog or something.

Personally I just throw my roms in directories and serve them from nginx. Its easier to just pull them down on deck that way and requires no extra effort or maintenance on my end.

Everything else is on steam.

They must have something to hide 🤨

Imagine paying for an OS to have ads in it. 🐃💩

Thankfully we have Linux/BSD

It doesn’t matter that you can disable it, this stuff shouldn’t be in the OS in the first place

Kdeconnect works great too if you are using linux and android

I’m curious to know about the distro maintainers that were running bleeding edge with this exploit present. How do we know the bad actors didn’t compromise their systems in the interim ?

The potential of this would have been catastrophic had it made its way into the stable versions, they could have for example accessed the build server for tor or tails or signal and targeted the build processes . not to mention banks and governments and who knows what else… Scary.

I’m hoping things change and we start looking at improving processes in the whole chain. I’d be interested to see discussions in this area.

I think the fact they targeted this package means that other similar packages will be attacked. A good first step would be identifying those packages used by many projects and with one or very few devs even more so if it has root access. More Devs means chances of scrutiny so they would likely go for packages with one or few devs to improve the odds of success.

I also think there needs to be an audit of every package shipped in the distros. A huge undertaking , perhaps it can be crowdsourced and the big companies FAAGMN etc should heavily step up here and set up a fund for audits .

What do you think could be done to mitigate or prevent this in future ?

I found this for the wiki on wayback machine

Thanks. I dont know if I have the time for 1000 episodes though 😅

Anyone know the source for this ?

I doubt it, they need to leave the scene as part of the deal. Could they come along and do something anonymously , sure but I doubt its worth the risk to them.

And its gone

The devs had years of experience with 2 very successful emulators . Any new project would require some serious knowledge of the switch and low level programming in a variety of domains. There are a handful of people able to do that. Im guessing they were all either working on yuzu or ryujinx. The yuzu team is no longer allowed to work on emulation so that just leaves ryujinx who are already working on their own.

I want the forks to succeed but its not your standard program we are talking about. Then we have the fact that any successor would have an immediate target on them. Thats a tall ask for anyone.

I see one of two things happening.

1. Yuzu team calls it quits and throws in the towel due to insufficient funds.

2. It goes to court and Nintendo wins due to the judge being technically illiterate and takes Nintendo’s side because they appear more professional and legitimate.

I would love for them to challenge and beat this but I think it would require a very knowledgeable legal team such as those who work with the EFF or some similar organization.

É muito bom. Eu jogo no steam tambem sem problemas. É tem backports e flatpak se você precisa programas mais recentes.

Estou usando KDE com Debian por muitos anos e tudo funciona ótimo pra mim.

Thanks for the info

Another one to the boycott list

Slashdot, hacker news feeds and some communities here. I dont really try to keep up with commercial tech since most of it is bundled with DRM or spyware with exceptions such as the steamdeck.

I’m only interested FOSS stuff myself. I subscribe to some security and privacy communities here in addition to some technology ones. If the news is big enough we’ll hear about it one way or another.

Discoverability happens organically out of need. Eg search “split pdfs linux” and I’ll get a cli tool for it.

Thats my take on it anyway.
