A popular Python library just became a backdoor to your entire machine
https://www.xda-developers.com/popular-python-library-backdoor-machine/
It's one of the most popular Python libraries for interacting with large language models [...] It has over 40,000 stars on GitHub, and it's an important dependency in a lot of AI tooling. It's also been compromised on PyPI, and the malicious versions are stealing everything they can find on your machine.
Sorry but... 🍿
Google obviously knows how user unfriendly it is to enable developer mode and how this will effectively make it impossible for the vast majority of non-technical users to access any third party app stores. This is as malicious as malicious compliance to EU law goes. I cannot think of a more aggressive roadblock they could have put up, even forcing some to choose between third party app stores like #FDroid or #IzzyOnDroid and banking apps.
There is no doubt about it, this is not about safety.

I quote boosted this before focusing on the 24h delay, but the worst part is having to enable developer options.
Fairphone: Settings -> About phone -> Build number (7 taps)
Samsung: Settings -> About phone -> Software information -> Build number (7 taps)
Given the steps differ per device it is impossible for any third party app store to give clear instructions. To top it off, the first 3 taps give *no feedback* at all.
Even worse, some apps refuse to run on devices with dev mode enabled.
Google has news on what you will need to do for still being able to sideload apps:
* enable developer options
* confirm that you are not tricked
* restart phone and re-authenticate
* wait one day
* confirm with biometrics that you know what you are doing
* decide if you only want unrestricted installs for 1 week or forever
* confirm that you accept the risks
* enjoy the few apps that still have developers motivated to develop for a user-base willing to put up with this
ei, você 🫵😡
eu e mais 5 amigos (entre eles a @bebel_ecologia e o @marcosmorcego) ✨abrimos uma editora✨
e vcs ajudariam MUITO seguindo nosso novo perfil ❤️
lá a gente vai soltar as infos do nosso primeiro lançamento nas próximas semanas!
As pessoas dissidentes de género e sexualidade que fecham com facho precisam estar cientes de que elas são tão abjetas para esses fachos quanto todas as outras.
"Ah, mas eu sou mulher de verdade" não é porque isso não existe
"Ah, mas eu não sou devassa que nem as outras travestis" é sim, sua existência é uma afronta você querendo ou não
"Ah, mas eu sou o Thammy Gretchen e estou com a família e os bons costumes" mas a família e os bons costumes não estão com um homem trans
"Eu sou um homem gay, mas não uso Grindr" bom pra você, mas você ainda vai pro inferno cristão se ele existir.
Não tem como fugir, ou você fecha com ês sues e aceita que ê gay ideal não existe, e nunca vai existir, ou você vai acabar na latrina com todes ês outres.
