A Twitter-branded Mastodon instance might have a decent shot at success just due to the branding advantage, nothing since Twitter has been as well-known as Twitter.

Such a shame that CVE quality is generally crap, as it's flooded with dubious 'findings' from people trying to build a resume as a security researcher. I'm not sure why you assert this is largely still done manually, reconciling with SBOM tools in my neck of the woods is pretty much automated for detecting and flagging issues because *no one* has time to deal with the gigantic volume of CVEs. Of course another problem in those SBOM tools is they have a terrible false positive rate. Trying to follow their guidance 100% may be impossible (complete misidentification) or requires significant work (SBOM tools don't do great with 'backported' fixes, and many software components don't bother with maintaining backward compatibility, so rebasing to a new version is big).

Updating software that is vulnerable is a key component, but I wager a greater general risk is how folks configure and operate credibly secure software stacks in insecure ways.

Whilst I agree with the first, second and third sentences wholeheartedly, fascism is as American as selling glass beads to natives and stealing their land.

Up until the Pearl Harbour there was a sizable fascist movement in the US, organisations like the German-American Bund had tens of thousands of members right up until December of 1941 when the US declared war on Nazi Germany and pretty much banned them. Not that we were entirely innocent over this side of the pond with the BUF (British Union of Fascists) but we did see the writing on the wall sooner rather than later with membership falling off a cliff in the late 30s (notably with the BUF becoming openly racist, which is poisonous to the British character, so there was no need for an outright ban until after the war). I'm hoping that Europe can follow that example again before one of our nations falls into Fascism.

Make no mistake, there will be a significant number of Americans openly supporting Fascism, in particularly they will be vocal in saying things like "don't call it fascism" and calling people they don't like "left".

Sadly it's infecting the rest of the world.

A lot of things that you get quoted will change price depending on location, time, browser/OS (user agent), IP, et al. I'm thinking specifically of flights, accommodation, insurance, and other things without a strictly advertised price which would mean they become subject to advertising laws and consumer rights.

Because SCOTUS had sealed the files and blocked the release until just a few weeks ago.

So yes, they really were prevented from releasing the Epstein files.

For me, mentions of TheAppFormerlyKnownAsTwitter have pretty much disappeared. News sites no longer quote tweets, friends no longer mention them. The only time I hear about them is when they get another fine for breaking the law or Musk does something else incredibly stupid.

Social Media itself is dying, but TheAppFormerlyKnownAsTwitter is exemplifying why. Social media has now become beholden to rich people who are using it to try and drown out voices they don't like. Hence people are switching off. It's for that reason that new social media networks don't really have a chance. The things we used to use Social Media for, aren't really being served by social media (mainly it was used to communicate with friends, families or like-minded people, now it's being used to push someone elses agenda)

Don't be mad because you didn't see it.

Also, don't call them "editors"

You literally have a police force operating with impunity and immunity grabbing people off the street.

You have a president that is openly ignoring the law... I mean trying to ignore or handwave that away must have become very difficult last night as he literally became guilty of piracy.

The only one being misleading here is you... and the only one you're misleading is yourself. You can lie to yourself, just don't expect it to fool anyone else.

They literally didn't fuck. It was a sperm donation.

And their hair is amazing.

I'm not saying that they can't do it, it's that they can't legally do it.

If you parked the Venus zeppelin on Mars it wouldn't offer the inhabitants enough protection from the cold or radiation. But that's a minor issue next to the fact that it would explode due to the lower atmospheric pressure.

Ugh. Acrobat actually craps itself on forms now. The check boxes keep disappearing during scrolling, and I have the latest reader.

"The amount of raw materials used is significantly higher meaning the ecological impact is greater."

It isn't and that's also not how it works

No they did not. This story is about how they didn't. Learn to read, coward.
