Did you know that Jean-Paul #Satre, the literary #philosopher, may have asked for #prize money after he declined the #NobelPrize?

In 1964, Satre won the Nobel Prize for #Literature for his (depressing) catalogue of novels.
He declined.

His rejection caused a scandal (to Satre's chagrin), & the prize remained unawarded.

In 1975, the #Swedish #Academy received a letter asking if the prize #money would still be available.

It isn't known if Satre or someone close to him sent it.

Some enterprises, in the wake of , are focusing on their metrics for dependencies they ingest..... rather than investing money, developer time, or other resources* to directly support maintainers.

But as I mentioned to a friend recently:

If downstreams do not provide at least as much support as a motivated attacker would, we're likely to continue to get these kinds of outcomes - & to be deceived, as attackers shape their efforts to trick the metrics.

Just got a fraud alert text from Chase. “MCAFEE” charged $0.11 to my credit card. It was probably some sort of trial balloon transaction to see if I would flag it before the spammers racked up a bunch of charges.

This sort of theft is financial vandalism that we all pay for. It pisses me off.
