   @r @Suiseiseki @SuperDicq @wolf480pl Trusting trust eh, https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~rdriley/487/papers/Thompson_1984_ReflectionsonTrustingTrust.pdf
   
   I would like Suiseiseki to clarify this because he was very sure about this(but when is he not about anything), he could have meant they did not share the code for the blob. Ill defer from posting furthur as Im confused.

   Reminder of Ken Thompson’s 1984 Turing lecture, Reflections in Trusting Trust, about a1975 hack:
   https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~rdriley/487/papers/Thompson_1984_ReflectionsonTrustingTrust.pdf
   It’s even more relevant now given the greatly-increased layers of software used by programmers.
   Tidbit: AFAIK, out group was the only one to notice this hack, which occurred a few weeks after I’d read John Brunner’s The Shockwave Rider & laughed prematurely at idea of worms with infinitely-replicating tails.
