		lapcat 11 days ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: LittleSnitch for Linux Bartender was not a supply chain attack! The app was sold for monetary reasons to another developer for monetary reasons. There were no targets involved. There were no nation-states involved. There were no attacks involved. You might not like the new developer, but this whole discussion of a nation-state and 9 figure payoff is totally ridiculous.

What I didn’t like was the secrecy, that was a breach of user trust. Why wasn’t it announced is the problem.

That's a legitimate criticism. Nonetheless, this subthread started with a comment about supply chain attacks and nation states, which is ridiculous.
