Quiet, as in everyone's looking but doing nothing. Just hand waving at the most.
How long did it take to get to this step?
They're only doing it because they're not able/not trying to hide all the abhorrent atrocities anymore.
Remember when every western mainstream news and social media was actively trying to censor, downplay and deny their actions? Pepperidge farm remembers
Rolling releases work well until they don't. Let the voluntary beta testers be as smug as they want to be. They are part of the Linux ecosystem who test and report bugs for fixing before they hit other distros.
They might have some performance benefits and if problems arise, there are ways to snapshot back to a working state, recover and many will be knowledgeable to fix some bugs themselves, but ask yourselves, do you actually want to go through all that?
Debian is perfectly fine for what it does.
We are making side loading harder because scammers are using "these" tactics to install malware on your devices.
It's totally fine when we use the same tactics to install malware on your device.
Politicians: the immigrants
Them: k, makes sense. never liked them anyway.
Hawkernews being unhinged capitalists as always:
aeternum: 18h
Sad.
And perhaps a controversial take but consider the counterfactual: Should it be illegal to fire employees that recent took mental health leave? Get a bad review or put on a PIP? It's already becoming a common strategy to immediately take mental health/sick leave.

This is sad and tragic but ultimately I don't think Mongo bares any responsibility here. If her partner left her while she was having a prolonged mental health crisis, would her partner be to blame for her suicide? I would argue: no.
You're just an expendable cog to the money machine to techbros.
They should also fund the projects that they're using. Then everyone benefits.
Getting off with just a wrist slap on their monopoly trial has embolden them. They think they're untouchable now. I wouldn't be surprised they have a backroom deal with the feds too.
Google's terms and conditions are consistently draconian and stupid.
They are not stupid, they are just intentionally malicious.
The developer chose the correct platform for that then. It's an apple only app.
His excuse? Android requires him to store databases of user IDs, but Apple does it themselves so it's more "private". There are tons of opensource push notification platforms available on Android that you can sideload. But seems like the developer wants the limelight than anything.
Also my honeypot senses are tingling.
But first, they'll have to discuss with their corporate sponsors on how mean their hand waving should look.
