Sorry, I wasn't clear. Those were examples of when he was critical of Pidgin, like 6 months ago. If you follow the link in that tweet to the bug report: https://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/11110 That one was fixed too. I think overall Pidgin is much safer than it was even a year ago, mostly thanks to his good work. Edit: Actually that particular bug was fixed almost 2 years ago.
