Some stuff I decided to put on codeberg.
Also, high five if you recognize the fucking hell hole that is that background landscape.
I’m just saying someone new in software development reading the comment I replied may misinterpret part of what they are saying as “all open source software is trustable” and reinforce that notion.
I’m not saying that lemmy devs have a higher chance of doing it bc they are tankies or whatever, no. They have no history of doing that and the project is so big and important that they really wouldn’t risk it; it is indeed a bit silly to defend my point in this specific thread, now that I think about it.
also, like @minimar said, it’s not how it works. most kind of obfuscation in open source code actually makes it easier to identify it as harmful. they are also found in libraries 99% of the time, not at the open source software repo itself. also, rust has no history of any harmful library.
anyway, sorry if I gave the wrong idea haha. just looking out for people who might have that notion, like I had.
google planepassant
it only works with towers btw
there is an issue about it on the main repo.
It is intended but I agree, maybe just remove the whole field when the mag is federated, or show the real owners in the specific instance that the magazine belongs to.
Wanna try something crazy? Go to a mastodon instance like this one and put @asklemmy@lemmy.ml on the searchbar there.
or do the inverse, look for someone local to mastodon, like @stux@mstdn.social and search in our searchbar. Result.
I think this works even for unfederated things, then by doing that you end up federating them to the whole server.
That’s some John Carpenter level shit
