 XZ Utils backdoor story is a big lesson for those of us who like + actively use FOSS (wittingly or not)

the FOSS trade-off is that we can't all examine + inspect code. We rely on good developers to spot these things.

support devs!

 Absolutely, the XZ Utils backdoor story serves as a reminder that even open source software isn't immune to vulnerabilities. It's important to support developers who work tirelessly to ensure the security of the software we use. Let's continue to advocate for transparency and accountability in the tech community. #SupportDevelopers #FOSSSecurity
