10:22 Techrightssec; Their decision to fold was made a few years ago around the time of the m$ NDA.

10:22 Techrightssec; The bringing in of malicious + incompetent managers was a second, severe blow.

10:22 Techrightssec; However, the final blow was the outsourcing: without reasons for competent

10:22 Techrightssec; people to stick around, they leave. When they leave, the remaining compentent

10:22 Techrightssec; people have an insufficiently large pool of peers with which to work with

10:22 Techrightssec; and at that point start looking for better work.

10:22 schestowitz-TR; yes, one key colleague was very unhappy about the outsourcing and later left

10:22 schestowitz-TR; they ripped apart internal infra

10:23 Techrightssec; Outsourcing, especially of core activities, leads quickly to a death spiral.

10:23 Techrightssec; Or so it has looked in all the cases which have been published which I have

10:23 Techrightssec; read so far. I'd go as far as to say that even peripheral activities might

10:23 Techrightssec; be safer handled in house as far as the question of staffing goes. The

10:23 Techrightssec; problem there is that it can lead to too high a head count. That can be a real

10:23 Techrightssec; thing not just the fake problem that MBAs have when there remain any on the

10:23 Techrightssec; payroll at all.

10:23 Techrightssec; Without an internal infrastructure, there is no real company any more. :/


11 AM, December 3

11:08 schestowitz-TR; correct me if I am mistakenlyy

11:08 schestowitz-TR; the qualys report deals with several bugs

11:08 schestowitz-TR; 3 IIRC?

11:08 schestowitz-TR; I noticed they mention "included by default in Ubuntu"

11:08 schestowitz-TR; and noted that in Daily Links

11:08 schestowitz-TR; but are all flaws connected to Ubuntu/Snap?

11:08 schestowitz-TR; Is Debian affected by any of them?

11:08 schestowitz-TR; first they called GNU "Linux"

11:08 schestowitz-TR; then same for systemd (when it suited the FUD)

noon, December 3

12:02 Techrightssec; checking

12:02 Techrightssec; Debian does not use snap

12:02 Techrightssec; multipathd is outside of my experience

12:02 Techrightssec; but snapd is not used in Debian by default

12:02 Techrightssec; It might be available for installation though

12:07 schestowitz-TR; truthout has begun showing wrong titles again

12:07 schestowitz-TR; maybe they altered things again

12:07 schestowitz-TR; for 2 days in a row now

12:18 Techrightssec; checking

12:18 Techrightssec; I can't see anything off with a spot check. Can you show the URL for

12:18 Techrightssec; a broken page?

12:23 schestowitz-TR; (NEW): Leaving Canonical, again http://news.tuxmachines.org/n/2022/12/03/Leaving_Canonical_again.shtml | Gemini address: gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2022/12/03/Leaving_Canonical_again.gmi

12:23 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-news.tuxmachines.org | Tux Machines Leaving Canonical, again

12:24 schestowitz-TR; accuses management of being liars

12:24 schestowitz-TR; see "merged" under truthout

12:24 schestowitz-TR; same today and yesterday

12:25 schestowitz-TR; truthout seems to have shuffled around the title element, so the program takes the wrong page element
