Kind of, in this case its a vulnerability in a portion of code that you need to compile with special flags to even include in the library (ie its not in the default build, you need to rebuild it and opt-in) so its super low impact and just ends up giving the maintainers excessive paperwork.
Security vulnerabilities are different, especially when they also put a 90 day disclosure period in it which is more severe for a security exploit.
That disclosure bit, not in the article, is really what tipped this all over the edge. If it was just hey, here’s a bug then its really just flooding the backlog for the maintainers who need to triage that. Disclosures are often used so people are aware that they’re using libraries that the maintainer has refused to patch, but in this case its really just holding the maintainers hostage so they end up wasting their time going through irrelevant issues.
Also, many of these libraries get security audits to make sure they are actually triaging and working through their backlogs, so could lose actual funding they get.
Ideally, they would either use their supposedly capable and powerful AI code gen to just make a fix and send over a patch, or at least use LLMs on their own end to triage the issues and only send over the most sever X periodically.
Because its the only one that supports rendering the opening cutscene from a decades old lucas arts game.
Isn’t SNAP how we’re buying a bunch of American produce that the rest of the world doesn’t want anymore because of tariffs?
I thought it was a farm subsidy program first and a hunger program second.
Casual hookups have always been a thing, why pretend they are a relationship?
I can believe what illegal immigrants made these patriotic officers do! /s
You got the S and more different S without going too far and adding chiaroscuro shading. I wouldn’t stress about the Vs
Not just the Bible. A lot of this extremist ideology comes from people who like to sound smart, but don’t know what they’re talking about.
Like the whole effective altruism movement, or even just the resurgence of eugenics with Musk and his whole birthing weirdness.
This is why humanities degrees are important. We’re putting people into leadership positions surrounded by others who also have never critically engaged with a book.

The interviewee is consenting to this being something that is released soon after they die. They’re not stupid, they get that its a gimmick but also means they can say whatever they want to a larger audience because of the hype.
It’s easier said than done. A few key pieces took decades to figure out and even now many can only be produced by one or two companies, like ASML.
An issue I’ve seen brought up in the open source community is that they have audits that look at the number of untriaged issues and time to resolve serious issues that their funding depends on.
I’m in software, but not open source, so it seems like they don’t have someone aligned with their team who they can sit down and say “either we need more resources, cut scope for new features, or accept quality / security issues coming up” to, its kind of this weird game of politics they end up needing to play to get any kind of funding for full time maintainers.
That’s the main reason they can’t just ignore issues that come up in their backlog, especially security ones.
