Microsoft maintains GitHub.
This is water on their mill. Use solid, corporate backed dotnet, not random soyware.
Next you know FOSS is dead in the water.
If one random supporter of the current thing can cause such a mayhem, imagine what can happen to any of the projects in 2-3 years: you run update and find your sever wiped out because capitalism is bad or indigenous people of Tuvalu lost a fishing boat or whatever.
On the longer run this is the end of community projects in mission critical applications.
You are one brain damaging soy latte away from total distaster.
- samhw 5y agoUh, .NET is free open-source software. Have a look at this 1500-line package-lock.json: https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/blob/main/src/mono/wasm/runtime/package-lock.json https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/blob/main/src/mono/wasm/ru... And even if you ignore that: what about the browser you use to install it? The library you use to decompress the file? The library you use to checksum it? The dependencies you install when you write code in .NET (which is the entire problem here and is literally no different whatsoever in .NET, aside perhaps from differences in the size of their standard libraries)? I'm sorry, you're right to say that this is wrong and that the ease of installing malware is terrifying (and not nearly enough acknowledged), but there's no lazy magic bullet that will save you. Welcome to combinatorial explosion!
