Closed source software, freeware made by some russian dude. In 2024 i would really VET this before installing.
I 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.

Do I think that the USA does the same and is allready in our system? Yes, though a bit less likely and more 'with an option to'. But the big difference is, that we are formally on the same side and I do not have to fear my systems to be made into a Spam-Bot network that undermines individualism and western ideas of freedom.
Why use this when you can just $ brew install audacious e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32779590

The clip became so popular that Winamp eventually adopted the Llama as its mascot, leading to the birth of Mike The Llama."

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.

Agree, my reasoning is the same - also for other countries like China...
What about the middle eastern countries? South America? That country that has the Patriot Act? I'm looking forward to everyone uninstalling Nginx.
