Some Russian closed-source music player... While it's a cool concept, I am far too paranoid to actually install it.
my computer is CIA :(

Yeah single devs usually have some sort of ulterior ad driven spyware motive.
The xz thing was just 10 days ago.
Google is everyday.
Dude acts as if when it’s open source he conducts a code audit before installing anything.
xz just proves how dumb this mindset actually is.

I'd say the opposite, xz proved how much effort it is to actually backdoor widely used open-source software as opposed to something where the Russian government (or another one) can just go knocking.
Nothing is perfect of course but the attack was insane in terms of complexity.

Because it’s closed source or because they’re Russian? Lots of closed source Swift projects in the App Store and elsewhere.
Both. Firstly im very cautious of any "single-dev" built side project, and when its closed source im even more aware of the dangers installing. And with russia in 2024 i cant trust any software produced over there. So, combine all three (close-source, single dev and russia) and you have a something really suspicious.
Agree, my reasoning is the same - also for other countries like China...

#36Why use this when you can just $ brew install audacious e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32779590
I prefer IINA as a simplistic music player for macOS (https://iina.io). Let me recommend its "mini player" view (activated with ⌥⌘M), showing the track list and hiding the cover.

What about the middle eastern countries? South America? That country that has the Patriot Act?
I'm looking forward to everyone uninstalling Nginx.

#39I must tell to every username out here who implying negative attitude only by pointing out that this is Russian made, you have been conditioned by mass media to become russophobic [1] you must understand that your attitude rooted in propaganda spread by institutions and not in objective reality.

I remember the heated discussions in the Toptal.com Slack group where some very vocal Ukrainian members were arguing for a total exclusion of all Russians from the platform, wherever they might live. Fun times.
