Exactly this. The second you utter the word "federation" you can see people's eyes glaze over in real time. The email explainer is good but it really needs to be a short sentence and that's it

The site also has an active Discord community of around 35k members, who actively participate in discussions, art competitions, even a chess tournament.

lulz, but this is probably a big reason why this happened, discord servers pay our pretty well and profiting with this stuff probably got some legal teams a little pissy

In a nutshell, a backdoor was intentionally planted by a malicious actor in xz Utils, an open-source data compression utility widely used in Linux and other Unix-like operating systems. This discovery was made by Andres Freund, a developer and engineer working on Microsoft’s PostgreSQL offerings. He was troubleshooting performance problems on a Debian system. Specifically, SSH logins were consuming excessive CPU cycles and generating errors with Valgrind, a memory debugging tool. Through sheer luck and Freund’s careful eye, he eventually discovered that these issues were the result of updates made to xz Utils. Upon closer inspection, he found that updates to xz Utils were the result of a maliciously inserted backdoor. The backdoor, present in xz Utils versions 5.6.0 and 5.6.1, manipulated the sshd executable, allowing anyone with a predetermined encryption key to upload and execute arbitrary code on affected devices.

It's a joke from King of the Hill, one of the main characters misquotes the joke the way the OP commentor wrote it.

I will say the variation of the Ford joke I've always heard growing up was "Fixed Or Repaired Daily."

Knowing Titanfall 3 died for this is heartbreaking

Hope Dan is getting reimbursed as well, though if Madison's claim about time off is to be believed, I don't have much confidence in that.

A bit of a side tangent, but the way Linus talks to Dan has always kinda rubbed me the wrong way. There's jokey "Dan wants me to do this but I'm gonna do this instead" banter that's ok but there are times where Linus just seems to openly disregard Dan and blame him for his own fuckups on the show. Not trying to be a parasocial Andy here but it does make the podcast harder to listen to, imo.
