[10:22] Techrightssec Their decision to fold was made a few years ago around the time of the m$ NDA.

[10:22] Techrightssec The bringing in of malicious + incompetent managers was a second, severe blow.

[10:22] Techrightssec However, the final blow was the outsourcing: without reasons for competent

[10:22] Techrightssec people to stick around, they leave. When they leave, the remaining compentent

[10:22] Techrightssec people have an insufficiently large pool of peers with which to work with

[10:22] Techrightssec and at that point start looking for better work.

[10:22] schestowitz-TR yes, one key colleague was very unhappy about the outsourcing and later left

[10:22] schestowitz-TR they ripped apart internal infra

[10:23] Techrightssec Outsourcing, especially of core activities, leads quickly to a death spiral.

[10:23] Techrightssec Or so it has looked in all the cases which have been published which I have

[10:23] Techrightssec read so far. I'd go as far as to say that even peripheral activities might

[10:23] Techrightssec be safer handled in house as far as the question of staffing goes. The

[10:23] Techrightssec problem there is that it can lead to too high a head count. That can be a real

[10:23] Techrightssec thing not just the fake problem that MBAs have when there remain any on the

[10:23] Techrightssec payroll at all.

[10:23] Techrightssec Without an internal infrastructure, there is no real company any more. :/

[11:08] schestowitz-TR correct me if I am mistakenlyy

[11:08] schestowitz-TR the qualys report deals with several bugs

[11:08] schestowitz-TR 3 IIRC?

[11:08] schestowitz-TR I noticed they mention "included by default in Ubuntu"

[11:08] schestowitz-TR and noted that in Daily Links

[11:08] schestowitz-TR but are all flaws connected to Ubuntu/Snap?

[11:08] schestowitz-TR Is Debian affected by any of them?

[11:08] schestowitz-TR first they called GNU "Linux"

[11:08] schestowitz-TR then same for systemd (when it suited the FUD)

[12:02] Techrightssec checking

[12:02] Techrightssec Debian does not use snap

[12:02] Techrightssec multipathd is outside of my experience

[12:02] Techrightssec but snapd is not used in Debian by default

[12:02] Techrightssec It might be available for installation though

[12:07] schestowitz-TR truthout has begun showing wrong titles again

[12:07] schestowitz-TR maybe they altered things again

[12:07] schestowitz-TR for 2 days in a row now

[12:18] Techrightssec checking

[12:18] Techrightssec I can't see anything off with a spot check. Can you show the URL for

[12:18] Techrightssec a broken page?

[12:23] schestowitz-TR (NEW): Leaving Canonical, again http://news.tuxmachines.org/n/2022/12/03/Leaving_Canonical_again.shtml | Gemini address: gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2022/12/03/Leaving_Canonical_again.gmi

[12:23] -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-news.tuxmachines.org | Tux Machines Leaving Canonical, again

[12:24] schestowitz-TR accuses management of being liars

[12:24] schestowitz-TR see "merged" under truthout

[12:24] schestowitz-TR same today and yesterday

[12:25] schestowitz-TR truthout seems to have shuffled around the title element, so the program takes the wrong page element
