So three things:
- In this specific case this is a good thing. The new vulnerability in xz was shocking - imagine a malicious actor login to every Fedora, Debian and Ubuntu box on the internet.
- Andres Freund from Microsoft found this. By now, humanity relies 100% on engineers at big tech checking FOSS for funsies on company time
- In this case it might have been a good thing - but notice how fast Microsoft can just command their will? Even if this way of distribution is easily circumventable, this way of distribution is powerful

Solid points
And a reminder to malicious actors (as well as the rest of us) to get off github 😅

- Yes, because MS has slaves and the command of the master is their wish.
I agree MS distribution is powerful but I suspect their sustainability.

Woah! Bad actors have come to Github now.
I can only say that they must be the discarded employees from Google, Microsoft, Meta or any other company that codes in closed doors.
Awake, I hail the devils of open coding heaven a k.a. GitHub, throw away the nasty good looking hypocriteez and claim what's yours.
