The climate crisis alleviating Europe's energy shortage is the polycrisis version of that Simpsons bit where Mr. Burns has every disease so they all cancel out.

The intensity and extent of warmth in Europe right now is hard to comprehend. Warsaw in Poland 🇵🇱 just smashed its January record by over 5°C. https://t.co/to4Mif70Hn

"#OpenSource maintainers are effectively unpaid outsourcing teams for giant corporations. The Alibaba engineer told the log4j team: 'Please hurry up'. Meanwhile, let's remember that Alibaba has a market cap of $348 billion" – Yawar Amin

As a maintainer of OpenSource libraries and packages, there is something that kept feeling off in the whole Software Supply Chain discourse. I think this comes down to something simple.

I am not a Supplier.

You can read more explanation there https://www.softwaremaxims.com/blog/not-a-supplier

https://hachyderm.io/@Di4na/109610607017869856

%

Key point:

[T]here is no supply chain here. [T]here is no supplier. I am not providing you something [through a transaction]. There is no relationship.

I put something online because I wanted to. The fact you made your product depend on it is *your responsibility*. Not mine. Not [any] of the providers.

We provide libraries. We do not supply them.

You are not buying from a supplier, you are a raccoon digging through dumpsters for free code.
