In this case it would not have prevented anything, but I never claimed that it would. Using Deno with appropriate sandboxing flags can protect developers against many classes of supply-chain attacks.
The reason it doesn't help in this instance is because the attack targets the generated bundle and runs on client devices, whereas other attacks will target developer machines themselves (and possibly also client devices). Those types of attacks can be mitigated by using Deno.
Literally next week Bitnami will pull all of their Docker images from public use. They were relied on by many people but since being bought by Broadcom, they just exist to be milked for cash.
They don't list a price for their new enterprise subscription, instead making you contact their 3rd party, outsourced sales team.
The quote I heard from a colleague was USD5'000 pcm. No wonder they don't want to publish that!
Broadcom has officially confirmed major changes to Bitnami's free container catalog, effective August 28, 2025, transitioning millions of developers from free access to paid subscriptions ranging from $50,000-$72,000 annually.
It's funny that you mention this because in my discussions on this subject (Svalboard, ergo keyboards in general) it's the first thing that numerous people have mentioned. The thing is, I'm the only person who's used my computer in many years.
I have a non-standard layout and keep a second (small wireless) keyboard around for exactly this reason but to date it hasn;t been needed.
There's always a "later" or equivalent button in all of these setups, sometimes it does have a few prompts.
I personally have iPhone, Google Pixel, OnePlus, Motorola and Samsung devices, without any accounts on them. The iPhones are very limited without an account, obviously, but I never feel that way on Android.
All that I did to set them up, is click on the screen a few times, no extra tools or anything. Then just go into the browser, and follow the instructions for F-Droid installation; which can be done entirely on the phone, without a computer or any other phone, or any username/password.
For my Motorola, the "later" or equivalent did not appear if you connected to WiFi during setup. You have to have no network connection, first, to not have a Google Account.
Whenever I buy a new Android device I take the opportunity to pretend I'm a grandma getting her first piece of technology and create a brand new Google account, since it's one of the only signup pathways that doesn't require some kind of identity verification.
That's a nice trick to get a fresh Google Account without any verifications!
But why would you need so many Google accounts? I think at one point it may simply become cumbersome to keep track of all the accounts, so, using an account-less Aurora Store seems like a very easy pathway to take.
I honestly never feel disadvantaged in any way by not having a Google Account on my Android. Aurora Store works, Google Maps works, banking and streaming works, everything just works.
When something importantrequires a Google account, now you have a burner account you can use. If you somehow have so many you can't keep track of them then great, you can use one account for one thing. If you only have two or three, at least you can make correlating them harder - the perfect's the enemy of the good. (I expect that if you log into more than one on the same Google phone, Google internally marks them as related. Still, other apps don't have access to that fact.)
I usually expressly don't login into any account because I simply don't want to remember which device I've logged which accounts in. It's just easier that way.
On my main device, I'd use a regular Google Account. But if I'm getting a test device, or a device I simply play around with, it doesn't have to have a Google Account, and yet it can still have all the apps I'd ever want.
Unlike with iOS, where you're severely limited in trying out a device without having an Apple Account. Yet somehow it's Apple that's deemed to respect people's privacy, go figure.
We learn both, tbh... And then get confused all our life, it's not like we choose one style in school, school teaches us that English actually has two dominant spellings and here is the American, here is the British and deal with it.
Non-native English speakers don't learn English exactly the same way as natives learning from their parents.
Every reply is talking about how wind doesn't make sense, how its uneconomical, or how its a nuisance. I can offer an opposing take:
My father has been using wind power in a semi-suburban area in the Uk for close to 20 years now. They have a large wind turbine now but had a much smaller one for a long time. Outside of cookie-cutter estates, there's sufficient tree and building cover that its barely visible to the neighbors. It provides most of their home power.
However, the implied meaning is significant. This site is full of engineers who, if they're good, invest a lot of time into understanding the implied meaning of what's said.
