From your linked article:

OpenJS immediately flagged the potential security concerns to cybersecurity and infrastructure security agencies within the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

To me this is kind of like having the fox guard the hen house!!!

All of the 3 letter govt agencies are involved in trying to backdoor OS’s and other software, (strictly for security purposes of course). But it’s OK if it’s the govt doing it. :upside_down_face:

My dad also has an old 386 with MS-DOS with Pathfinder File Manager. He also had a program called TPK or (T)erminal (P)ac(K)et used to receive data packets over radio communication frequencies with a homebrew modem and a Navico AMR-1000S radio. The good old days before the WWW.

Almost like this, but this is still modern. The sound you hear between the laptops is how my dad’s system sounded.

I don’t like M$ being everywhere and owning stuff in the open-source community.

It’s a big shame that most FOSS projects haven’t migrated from GitHub the second it became M$ owned…It will surely backfire one day.

M$ true intend with GitHub has never been revealed, but I can only guess that in the long term they gonna go the Google path by introducing more open-source based code into their OS but still slap closed-proprietary services into it.

Or… one morning one would try to log into GitHub and there’s no GitHub.

@Colin your YouTube vid about nation states hacking Cisco should really come as no surprise to anyone. The govts of the most powerful states try to either coerce, bribe, infiltrate, hack or backdoor all the most important organizations/companies pieces of software and hardware on the planet.
