Ideally, they should have released the security research directly rather than this weird… translation + hyperventilating attention-seeking style that they did here.

They technically somewhat did on GitHub but this isn't saying much

Don't download any APKs or Zip files from their repo unless you know what you're doing.

Many such cases of TrueAnon spreading bullshit

I know, I'm waiting until a final announcement or shit cools down before reopening

No were not satire

 

AutoMod for obvious reasons (removing spam, slurs, etc.), and controversial sort to see the spiciest comments in that thread.

The developer finally grew a spine and realized he didn't want to do it for free. So he added some code to his library (SponsorLink) that runs in your IDE, reads your .gitconfig, checks if your email address is registered as a sponsor, and possibly slows down your build if it's not.

I wonder if anyone at Microsoft uses this internally 😂.

The Github issue and Reddit threads on this are pretty calm. Maybe there will be more drama in the coming days/weeks, when companies forbid their employees from using this library, and code monkeys have to rewrite all their unit tests. Redditors are trying to reportmaxx SponsorLink but nothing has happened yet.

Don't worry, I appreciate the work our admins have put into the site

 
 

I have made the painful and necessary decision to undertake a restructuring and we will reduce the size of our team by up to approximately 12%. This comes as disappointing news, as we've all built strong connections with our fellow Hackeronies.
