There doesn’t need to be any evidence. This is something that is impossible to prove one way or the other, like Last Thursdayism.

Yes, this particular incident.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XZ_Utils_backdoor
In February 2024, a malicious backdoor was introduced to the Linux build of the xz utility within the liblzma library in versions 5.6.0 and 5.6.1 by an account using the name “Jia Tan”.[b][4] The backdoor gives an attacker who possesses a specific Ed448 private key remote code execution through OpenSSH on the affected Linux system. The issue has been given the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures number CVE-2024-3094 and has been assigned a CVSS score of 10.0, the highest possible score.[5]
Microsoft employee and PostgreSQL developer Andres Freund reported the backdoor after investigating a performance regression in Debian Sid.[8] Freund noticed that SSH connections were generating an unexpectedly high amount of CPU usage as well as causing errors in Valgrind,[9] a memory debugging tool.[10]
Immediately get noticed
Realistically, though, we are only aware of that one because it was noticed in that unlikely scenario and then widely reported. For all we know, most open source backdoors are alive and well in our computers, having gone unnoticed for years.

SatyrSack@lemmy.sdf.orgto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why do, relatively, so few of you set an avatar for your profile?5·7 days agoSure, it’s just that in the early days when we started getting more Lemmy apps than just Jerboa/Lemmur, Voyager tended to be on the forefront of adding new features not found in other apps. But nowadays, as the landscape of Lemmy apps has matured, Voyager has fallen behind as its philosophy seems to be stuck at “be a clone of Apollo”. It is by no means a bad Lemmy app; it is just no longer at the same relative level compared to other competing Lemmy apps.

Looks to me like the icon that indicates the machine being connected to a network, but that network is not connected to the Internet.

What is being implied here? That Website A encourages you to download an image from them in WEBP format, but you cannot then upload that image to Websites B through Z because those sites do not support WEBP?

when putting in long text like image links, it gets ugly fast and stuff starts to break.
In that case, I think that tool should prove very helpful. Starting off in a spreadsheet program like Excel is great for keeping things neat/tidy/readable, then you would use that tool to convert to markdown when you are finished and ready to post the table to Lemmy.
That is sort of how I manage my GIF todo list and the markdown list that I publish on Codeberg. I have a LibreOffice Calc spreadsheet that I use as my todo list, adding new ideas to it as they come to my attention and then marking them off as I complete them. Then, when I am done for the day, I have a custom Python script that I run that reads all the cells in the spreadsheet, rearranges things a bit, and outputs it as a markdown table into the file you see on Codeberg.
EDIT: @ptz@dubvee.org could possibly even build that functionality right into Tesseract, allowing you to copy from Excel and paste directly into a Tesseract textbox as a markdown table.
