[08:07] schestowitz-TR debian 10 kde, same as rianne and I [08:08] Techrights-sec Nice.

[08:08] schestowitz-TR as you can imagine, rianne does not tinker with it as much as I do. Should I make more KDE videos?

    Pinephone Malware Surprises Users, Raises Questions
    [09:01] -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-hackaday.com | PinePhone | Hackaday [09:01] schestowitz
    [09:01] schestowitz

    [ubuntu] didnt share sources, just the binaries, packaged for easy installation on Arch Linux. One of the prominent PinePhone community members installed that binary and enjoyed the game part of it, asking about plans to make it open-source receiving reassurance from [ubuntu] that the sources would be released eventually, just need to clean it up. Some werent so sure, arguing that people shouldnt [09:01] schestowitz sudo install-this random games without a source code repo link. Folks were on low alert, and there mightve been up to about a dozen installs before a cautious and savvy member untarred the package and alerted people to suspicious base64 in the .INSTALL script, about half a day later.
