why does this read like it was written by a state-sponsored actor

The thought crossed my mind as well. Lots of typos, plus "old version compromised, use new version ASAP" could also be said to get people on a newly compromised version, right? Though it's probably just that the post author is stressed and rushed the post out. I do wonder if there's a way to verify the post was written by the real dev and that he still has control. Old known GPG sig?

IIRC, the author, Don Ho, is French and was born in Taiwan, and accordingly, perhaps his English is somewhat idiosyncratic?
