They come out with all the security updates (anywhere between 2 weeks and a month after Google pushes them out). They don't wait for a feature update to push out security updates.
It's a bit annoying (I know I'm still not getting it on mine despite the announcements), but their handling it of major updates (performance wise) have been decent on my end. I do love my FP5, but it's a bit hit and miss according to experience I read about online. I know my experience of their headphones (the most recent ones, the wireless buds) has been horrendous but I would recommend the FairPhone personally.
to be fair to the incompetent people in law enforcement, I do believe "trying to kill a presidential candidate slated to win and being a millimeter away from getting it done" would justify relying on a 0-day.
"We tried 0000. Tony, write up a press release about how incredible we are at our job and how we spent 400% of our usual overtime on it and send it to the tech press. Make sure they mention we need to triple next year's budget for security and shit."
Exactly. The article doesn't shy away from a bit of free publicity for Cellerite. Which is nowhere near as much of a magic bullet as the "tech media" makes it out to be.
How do I know it? By doing the most basic of research by heading to their website and looking at their manuals and documentation.
And Cellerite won't tell you this publicly because their bottom line depends on their ability to massively overprice their services which they sell to technically illiterate people.
Any article that mentions Cellerite without a caveat about the dubiousness of their publicity can be disregarded and shouldn't be taken seriously.
Long time FF user, things really aren't looking good for Mozilla as a whole.
I’d fire nabakov immediately for example (at the least)
You didn't read it, did you?
And I'm not saying it's a good book because it isn't.
Laura will be protected from all scrutiny just because she is a woman
Lol what, no. It's because she's for all intents and purposes the CEO, and better yet, an overly paid CEO. When's the last time you've seen the CEO getting their comeuppance?
You rarely stay very long in those companies nowadays. Unless you aim at becoming CEO in 20 years' time. But otherwise, you just get your golden parachute after a couple of years of doing horrible shit.
The whole point of federated social media was to get out of walled gardens, yet here we are, building a walled garden.
To an extent yes, but I think it's pretty easy to see why people are building their own closed communities on the Fediverse. That was the whole "selling point" of it at the beginning. "Not happy with Twitter? Just spin up your own fedi instance where you have your own rules and you can control who joins and who doesn't".
You know that it is comically easy to scrape stuff off of the fediverse, right?
Yes, so why would you argue in favour of making it even easier? Do you see why people aren't too hot on that?
If you are worried about scraping, use Facebook. Facebook has teams of people who combat bot/scraper activity.
I don't use Facebook for philosophical reasons and that's why I've picked the Fediverse as a whole. I find it amazing we still need to re-explain that all the time.
We're talking about Meta and Dorsey's baby (yeah sure, he's not there anymore but we all know what kind of company he backs) and you're talking about startups?
Instead, if Bluesky grows, I can see people move away from it.
When has that ever worked?
This is how we wish to present ourselves as an alternative to corporate social media?
The whole idea in the first place was to NOT be corporate. It's pretty understandable that when those corporations come knocking pretending to be nice, a lot of people want nothing to do with it.
I keep seeing this argument but like.... no. It doesn't scrap stuff, it merely facilitates scrapping. Come on, can we stop pretending for a second.

The 6.5% pay rise will increase the average teacher's salary by £2,500, one union says.
They were sold down the river by their unions who told them to accept the deal (because the unions had no desire to fight any further). I'll be fair to the unions, the workers that make them up didn't follow through with the strike actions (there is only so much that can be done) BUT the unions did a terrible job of communicating with the workers and backing up the strike action.
The 6.5% "increase" is a major pay cut for 2 reasons:
1 - it comes on the back of nearly no increase for the past few years (definitely not enough to even keep up with inflation over the past years).
2 - it's about half the inflation this year.
Moreoever, it's not funded. Funded means "the government spends that money on the education sector". That would be "extra money to the budget". Funded. The government said "3% will be funded through defunding other public services - targetting foeigners who use public services - and we hope that will be enough (it won't be".
So... where do the other 3.5% come from? They have to come from existing school budgets. Meaning all schools now have to make major budget cuts (they have already cut everything they could) to find that money. The education budget comes out even worse than it was before. And they're calling it "a win".
The budget cuts mean: whatever staff can be considered spare (tough decisions are going to have to be made), mostly the support staff, will have to be cut. In the UK, teachers already moan constantly about the lack of support staff. If you accepted that deal, that's on you, fingers crossed you're massively screwed for next year, well done you. Extra-curricular activities will be cut. Optional subjects (think arts, mostly) will have to be cut (which is one of the things the government has been aching to do for a long time).
And that's considered a win. Class solidarity? Nowhere to be found.
So much more to add, but only so much you can add before people tune out.
“I am a very upset millennial, who just wants to buy a house and start a family,” one worker told the WSWS. “I have stood by my union proudly as they talked such big game, only to read how poor of a contract they are now celebrating with teary eyes.”
For UK based teachers (currently not based in the UK at the moment, but have been in the UK for a while and might be heading back soon). It appears evident that the "reddit equivalent" are a bunch of conservative scabs so it would be worthy to have something in a more progressive place.
