@FritzAdalis - You joke, but the Free and Open Source Software maintainer of xz was experiencing heavy burnout without any support. No team, not money, no time off.
That created a vulnerability that Jia Tan (et al) exploited and allowed Jia to take over the project.
And this is not uncommon. Corporations exploit and take FOSS and use it to make money without paying back into it.
Classic capitalistic extraction without regard to hidden costs.
So. Yeah. You can blame capitalism for this, lol! 😂
