The recent openclaw videos are the best. “Ten openopenclaw skills that will change your life!” Ends up being useless YouTube metrics and a glorified egg drop.

#5Does the 7-Zip author still refuse to digitally sign or even provide hashes of the official downloads? It's an extremely weird flex, he thinks it's a frivolous waste of time or something.

#67zip.com has never been the official website of the project. It's been 7-zip.org

Do people even double check installers are digitally signed? There's so much open source stuff out there that is not digitally signed, most people might not even notice.

Windows has displayed a big scary orange prompt for at least the last decade when it isn't. More like 15-20 years IIRC.
But I'm sure people blindly click through the "Unknown author" prompt just as they would ignore a certificate error.

Like I said, theres a LOT of open source projects that show that prompt. Signing an MSI involves having a valid CA certificate, which AFAIK is not free, and goes beyond the budget of most projects.

He's always been an odd one, for a long time he refused to enable even basic hardening features like ASLR and DEP because they made the executables slightly larger. He eventually relented on some of those, but last I heard the more advanced mitigations like HE-ASLR, CFG and GS were still disabled.
