The changes to their whatsits are likely certificate expiration related. For the longest time the rumor was that backward compatibility was mandated (through certificate gymnastics…

It's important to consider that an online service's poor behavior is amortized over it's user base (or all of the users who subscribe via the service's local copy of a given feed),…

Tangent: I have an earnest interest in learning about methods for installing software obtained from the internet which would be any more secure than this.

The lack of consensus is on what an SBOM is for. Even the NIST recommendation which came out of Executive Order 14028 had little guidance on how to apply SBOM . At any sort of scal…

It would be hilarious if the fear of being faked turned out to be the final blow to demands for privacy.

A replacement for artists, on the other hand... (the graphic for the article was quite obviously AI generated.)

I wish people would stop using the "10x" term, as it is meaningless. Nobody can articulate what x is or even what units x should be in. I won't even start--and nor should I need to…

Without understanding precisely what is being measured, it is useless to try to understand why the metric is moving in whatever direction it is moving. This is hand-wringing and tr…
