I would suffer a stroke and more, too, if my country wanted to deport my ass to a third world country like the USA.

WhatsApp running through android-translation-layer (no container!) on Linux desktop
I hope this makes it easier to do TLS sniffing and security research on Android apps. A lot of developers seem to rely on no one simply looking at how much information is exposed in the APIs apps use. Currently because it's much more difficult to sniff Android apps, a lot of privacy/security issues are not raised.

Dotfiles matter! Please stop dumping files in users’ $HOME directories.
If you care, please take time to upvote or file bugs on packages that don't follow XDG. Or even better, make PRs.

Phoronix: Linus Torvalds Comments On The Russian Linux Maintainers Being Delisted
As a finn, I understand that there are probably legal reasons for doing this.
I just wish they would be transparent and share those reasons with us. The Linux kernel is certainly not the only free software project that is impacted, if this comes straight from EU/US sanctions. Maintainers of other projects have a lot of interest in what is happening.
Transparency is also important because if EU/US policy/sanctions are causing issues for free software projects, then that discussion needs to be public, so that there is a chance to amend the policies if necessary.

Lasse Collin, the other xz maintainer, has acknowledged the backdoor
Nothing so far seems to indicate Lasse Collin knew what was going on.
I feel sorry for him. Must suck working on an open source project for free and then get sucked into something nefarious like this. He must be under tremendous stress.

This is why I still use an Android custom ROM in 2024
The Play Integrity API is less about security and more about Google asserting their monopoly.
They do not want truly open source Android platforms to gain popularity, because there would be a high chance people would want ad blocking, which is a direct threat to their profit margins.
I hope EU takes regulative action to force Google to allow GrapheneOS, LineageOS etc. to be able to run the same apps without issues.

Oxenfree is being completely removed from itch.io in October
Someone should challenge this legally. I'm pretty sure this is illegal in EU, no matter what the ToS says.

How does systemd-run/run0 handle what /etc/sudoers currently does?
I'm disappointed in how little technical discussion there is in this thread.
