no one gives a shit what kids are doing on their devices

Except Joe. And people like Joe. Whose surveillance of kids is now not only easier, but sanctioned.

Being up to date is the entire point and so typically there are only global options to either grab those updates from the vendor or host them internally on a central server but you wouldn’t want to slow roll or stage those updates since that fundamentally reduces the protection from zero days and novel attacks that the product is specifically there to detect and stop.

That's not your, or Crowdstrikes, decision to make. If organizations have applied settings to not install updates automatically then that's what they expect to happen and you need to honour it. You don't "know best". They do.

You might want to include that information in your original post. You are telling people over and over that their suggestions are too expensive. You're wasting peoples time.

I may have missed something.

Firefox 127 has introduced privacy tweaks that are causing user dissatisfaction, particularly due to changes like the separation of normal and private windows on the taskbar and the closing of private tabs when the main instance closes on iOS.

This sounds like it would be the expected behaviour?

• Despite user complaints, the update includes new privacy and security enhancements such as upgrading subresources from HTTP to HTTPS and masking CPU architecture to reduce fingerprinting.

This sounds like a good thing?

• Mozilla plans to address user feedback by reintroducing the "browser.privateWindowSeparation.enabled" preference as an opt-in and adding more intuitive privacy settings in future updates.

This sounds like a good thing?

You pay $14 per month and you STILL get ads?!?!

WTF!?

People at the Post Office and Fujitsu need to go to jail over this.

It won't happen. They'll get away with it. Same as ever.

Genuine question. What's the difference between this and rsync?

The self-entitlement in open-source has to stop. This is only one example of a maintainer quitting. There are many more.

And the shaming of projects who want to make money to sustain their projects also has to stop. Nothing is free. Somebody is paying for it in time, resources or money.

If you don't like what a project is doing, or how they're monetizing, don't use it. Move on.

It has some nice ideas, particularly for moderation. I like that they're thinking hard about these things.

I think its moving too slowly and it's lack of momentum at the time of the Twitter exodus was lost. Its too late for it to become an alternative to the likes of Twitter, Mastodon etc. and I think it will die.

I hope that once it's gone it will leave a legacy of those good ideas I mentioned above which other platforms will take learnings from.

All my opinion.

That was really interesting to read. A lot of people have been saying that Twitter had got a lot worse since ManBaby came along. Not being a user anymore I have nothing to dispute that with.

What is interesting is the companies who are arguably making it 'worse' (partly) are backing that statement up by saying it's better than it was for them. Easier to do business. Easier to make money. Easier to make it worse.

I suppose that's what happens when the owner sees moderation of this type of content as 'censorship'.

Twitter users confuse me. Maybe they double-down on the moderation of their own bubble so it's not quite as bad for them.

Feels like a case of switching sides, in an effort to say relevant and make a few bucks from interviews.

Ahhh. Kotaku. Yeah, I'll give that big ole clickbait bullshit article a miss.
