It's also the FTC's responsibility to challenge mergers that would substantially reduce competition.

No one is saying the merger is illegal, just that it probably shouldn't be allowed.

I'm curious what you mean about vendoring.

In go, vendoring dependencies just copies the deps out of the module system into the local tree and it's managed the same as not vendoring. It won't even build of the go.mod has changed without also updating the vendor tree.

https://bsky.app/profile/anthonymoser.com/post/3myf5fwpl7s2t is a good explainer I think without getting into the nitty gritty details.

  for the non technical folks:  imagine there was a password that if you guess   it, you can impersonate *any website on the internet*
  
  now imagine the password is literally the number 4

With curl|bash you are literally getting anything that happens to be in that script. These are frequently poorly constructed, so not check hashes or pin dependencies they install. Even security companies (see trivy supply chain attack) get these badly wrong.

I'm not replying here to say one is better than than the other (npm has obviously had its share of problems) but rather to combat claims that curl|bash is somehow safer, it absolutely is not, in fact it's all the bad stuff about npm without the pretense of being potentially safe.

It doesn't do messages or notifications. "Just" things like file copy and clipboard.

"Easy" is subjective, but tether seems like it would do this? There is also kdeconnect (don't let the "KDE" fool you).
