The Tor team has lost their sense of responsibility. Breaking the compatibility of the entire software ecosystem that preserves user privacy just to make their developers' lives easier is insane. There are hundreds, or thousands, of affected projects, many of which require extensive bootstrap times and somehow need to force all their users to update their software versions. Tor is not just any software—it's a critical infrastructure component for the entire world—and yet they announced just a couple of days ago that in two months all clients prior to version 0.4.8 will stop working. It's madness.

Mexico had organized the first fourth‑world‑quality FIFA World Cup inauguration party. I've never seen anything worse since USA 1994.
