See how much an exploit for iPhone vs Android will run you in the open market.

Also how fast a discovered security hole will be patched and distributed to the fleet between the two systems.

Most Android phones will never get a patch, some will get it 6 - 12 months later and very few within the month.

Also one is run by an advertising company.

I hate that the headline is putting it as a foregone conclusion.

Instead of something along the lines of: Will the government allow this massive theft of intellectual property of average Australians?

They don’t know what you are talking about my fellow Aussie. Any A in an acronym means “American” to the USAns. That other countries exist that start with A is unfathomable.

Perhaps this was written much earlier than v5.

I think he has somehow managed to leave the CEO of SpaceX alone to do her thing - or likely she has managed him also as she seems incredibly competent.

Of course it’s possible. But after that devastating Gamers Nexus debacle, Linus being actively dismissing of peoples concerns until it became a public issue, the multiple employees saying they were worked off their feet unable to do their job properly, and generally being a toxic environment… this firm gives it a perfectly clean bill of health - that’s not likely.

There’s a difference in stakes and impact and intent: the client firm is actively interested in finding security holes and the outcome of a negative security report does not (usually) directly affect the continuing operations of the business or impact on the personal reputations of the business owners their ability to conduct business, or how moral they’re perceived by society.

A negative report here would be a devastating blow on Linus himself, his business is built around him and relies on audiences trusting him, it would also open up the door for legal action that could result in massive monetary damages and fines.

I’ve had “independent” valuations and audits. I’ve seen how these firms work - and it’s not independent. They obey the people that pay them or they don’t get any work in the future from anyone else “that firm destroyed my business”.

The most suspect aspect of the report is that they found nothing negative, everything was perfect. This on its face doesn’t ring true for any business I’ve ever seen, as well as how they responded to the accusations and how many people came out to accuse them.

I don’t see a valid reason to guess the gender of their users other than to sell profiles to ad providers. I can’t see how discord may evolve their discussion platform differently depending on the gender mix of their platform.

I hope she’s great, but I can’t imagine you’ll find more dedicated or more aligned to the cause people than those that have spent a lifetime working to build everything that is Mozilla.

I can’t imagine they can’t find good people from within - why do you need to inject people from outside right at the top of the foundation?

Plus a good chunk of people only wash hands for show: the water runs for 1 sec it barely touches their fingertips, then go on to these dryers and whatever is on their hands flies out everywhere.

Haven’t these been shown to be literally the proverbial shit hitting the fan in terms of spreading bacterial matter everywhere?

“This is the single greatest talent acquisition opportunity since I founded EnviroSpark. Tesla had been able to scale their charging infrastructure due in no small part to the talented employees on the Supercharger team.”

Half of them likely already have another job.

All business models are aimed at company profitability. Customer satisfaction is an expensive early necessity which you can largely do away with as you become entrenched.

Mostly social signalling

He closed his bluesky account some time ago so he must have left then. I assume they had some dnd agreement because only after he confirmed it publicly did bluesky came out with their announcement.

I’m assuming it’s aimed at people trying to avoid tying the hosting IP to the publicly consumable service.

It seems you’re also the product even if you pay.

That’s what they’re counting on.

It’s also a nice way to tax their poorest customers more. A lot of people are keeping their machines way past what apple provides updates for, if the ssd that can’t be changed dies (because of constant swapping) faster than what they intended or could keep the machine for, I guess it’s too bad for them.
