“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.
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?
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.
“I didn’t kill him, the bullet, gravity and velocity did.”
Lol, and do you think it had to be the Americans to stop them. Or that they cared before they got attacked. Or that they would do it again if the us left (I know as an American, you have 0 understanding of history so let me tell you: the Americans left the people who did all that in charge of Japan because it was convenient for them).
And most of it is the result (direct or not) of the US.
I don’t even know if you actually believe what you wrote but if you do, that’s a clear indictment of the American education system.
What do you think would happen if they left? Genuine question.
Idk have the us tried staying in its fucking corner for once rather than spreading death and misery every single time they have gone anywhere?
remind all of us how much military presence the US has around the globe vs China?
There is a metaphor about Britain tucked in there.
I’ll wait for you to read the article you’ve just linked to in full. Or just reread what the conversation is about. I’m not sure which one you failed on.

Dont know why I’m getting so heavily downvoted by people who probably havent spent a second in the ghost town that is threads (I have). Getting 30 likes on threads is like getting a million on twitter.
Also, how are people not looking at my factual statement as good news?
To all the people worrying about threads: people don’t use it. They use it less than mastodon users use mastodon.
They had to ask adobe if i recall correctly. Which does mean it isnt as easy as it sounds to reverse engineer (since adobe developed it, they obviously knew how to do it)
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.
