Since the #xz incident started, I've been maintaining an FAQ/living document on what we know at gist.github.com/thesamesam/223.

I think most people in my extended circle either already seen it but posting about it given there's likely to be a lot more questions as we go into the working week.

Thank you to everyone who has contributed tips, suggestions, and edits. Thanks especially to @cadey who has helped a lot with editing.

This is the best timeline I've seen so far on what we know about the Xz backdoor. Some good info here for researchers: boehs.org/node/everything-i-kn

@KeithDJohnson Seems like pretty normal American units to me.

My story about how telematics data from people's cars unexpectedly raised their insurance rates is on the front page today...

nytimes.com/2024/03/11/technol

... and this is where it started: me lurking on car forums and seeing comments like this.

If this story doesn't convince lawmakers we need a strong federal privacy law, I'm not sure what will.

@grolmori Sogar "Bahnhof" würde ich nicht verstehen.

@ninawillburger I see that pigeons were as obnoxious back then as they are now.

Long thread/eof 

@fsf Is it in March or May? The page says "sometime in March" but the registration pages say May 4-5.

@mattblaze @wendynather "one drop at a time" is also the answer to that age old question, "How do you titrate an elephant?"

@pmb00cs @garius perhaps I'm ignorant, but I fail to see how "it was not a door that opened, it was *supposed* to be a wall" is precisely a *defense* of Boeing.

@colindean You're weird? Then you fit right in with us!

@jredlund @sfwrtr @stevendbrewer @taur10 @alan This is a thing Apple is most qualified to solve.

I won't hold my breath, though.
