Wondering about Mr Bones' Wild Ride and suspecting it might be a reference to the 1991 movie Nothing But Trouble I took a look, and found I had remembered it wrong. The roller coaster in that movie was called Mr Bonestripper, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEZEgd8GjJc . Instead it comes from Roller Coaster Tycoon 2, https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/mr-bones-wild-ride . As for the comparison with spam, there we kind of settled on making people accept spam by vacuuming up their email addresses in pretty much every commercial and social computer network setting, giving it a veneer of legitimacy. I think it is likely to happen in this area too, perhaps some combination of Oracle licensing surveillance agent style software and automated dependency management, i.e. 'solving' supply chain malware by whitelisting some other malware. | ||
