Help with USB drive encryption
Download and install VeraCrypt from the official website (https://www.veracrypt.fr/).

Help with installing libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-0v5 (Veracrypt dependency) on Debian 12
The issue is described there: https://github.com/veracrypt/VeraCrypt/issues/1046 . Apparently newer libwxgtk works on Arch. Other option is to compile it yourself or you the Veracrypt package from nightly builds.

Is NVMe still slow to encrypt?
It is still a problem, but there are some registry values you can tweak to improve the performance, check https://github.com/veracrypt/VeraCrypt/issues/136 for discussion.

Debian 12 "bookworm" released
Before I upgrade though, worried about veracrypt due to https://github.com/veracrypt/VeraCrypt/issues/1046
- Why is This Software (and Linux) so Endlessly Broken?
-
Is VeraCrypt .deb installing well in Debian Bookworm (currently Testing)?
Wait, is that the same as compiling it oneself, like is talked about here? https://github.com/veracrypt/VeraCrypt/issues/1046

FFmpeg 7.0 Released

Google fights Invidious (a privacy YouTube Front end)
Yep. yt-dlp and youtube-dl
https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp
https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl
Will also start to feel the impact. My theory is that we will see a bunch of new video hosting sites as youtube itself attempts to lock down its ecosystem. They haven't paid attention in any adversarial way as far as I can tell.
When they do, it wont be great.

XZ: A Microcosm of the interactions in Open Source projects
The points you make aren't unreasonable.
It is necessary to establish clear boundaries of what can and can be provided by the maintainers. If not done at an earlier stage of the project, the support burden becomes too much to bear at which point the maintainer transfers ownership, and the project suffers from catastrophic consequences such as the xz backdoor we're talking about here, or other cases where the project mostly stalls and serves as an ego-boosting platform for the new maintainer, as was the case with PhantomJS[6].
This can also happen in your life, where a "friend" sees that you possess a certain skill, and then gradually tries to push an inordinate amount of their personal work related to this field onto you.
Personally, I think it's best to use an approach with extremely clear communication as to what the maintainer can and cannot provide. This can be seen, for example, in yt-dlp[1], where the consumer is clearly informed upfront that not providing detailed information as requested will lead them to block said consumer; or sqlite where their position regarding contributed patches[2] and support[3] is similarly made clear.
Having a shouty BDFL like Torvalds can also help improve code quality[4] and questionable contributions[5], though it is better that the shouty BDFL makes statements that are professional and do not show as much aggression; so for example, "Mauro, shut the fuck up"[7] would become "Mauro, your response is completely unbecoming for a Linux kernel maintainer, and is not in line with the promise of not breaking userspace."
