I'm at the point of my life where I just want to move to Scotland and live in a small cottage herding sheep. The highest tech I want are a wood stove and a comfy armchair. 😟

@slothrop if I ate pizza twice a week I'd also need to buy a new scale.

Well, at least now there's no discussion anymore. Musk is a full-on fascist.

If you buy his products or use his services you are doing so in the full knowledge that you are supporting fascism.

@mickymorse similarity: both treated their employees like shit.

Difference: Jobs cared about his customers.

The first picture of a smart watch that made me interested in one. 😀👍

@simon_brooke hope you'll feel better soon!

Don't let anyone tell you a #bev is "high tech". Here's a Detroit Electric Model C from 1907, tested range of over 300 km and top speed of 32 km/h.

And would you look at those swivel seats in the plush salon! 👍

@spaf I'm aiming more for a dimly sort of fuzzy half-awake type of holidays myself. Where do I sign up for your volunteer group, please?

@dalias every corporate firewall I've seen in recent years is configured to break open TLS streams and inspect the contents. So I think it's fair to say that firewalls are the single most valuable point of attack in the network.

Or indeed outside of your network as the same is true for zscaler.
@bob_zim @mcv

@dalias perfectly illustrates the schism in IT security orgs. This has been normalized in recent years, basically because people are out of ideas how to prevent phishing attacks from succeeding on completely patched endpoints.

@MattHatton if you use teams, you don't get to chose.

@ParadeGrotesque I wonder what will happen if you remove those certs from the store in FF. Probably nothing, at least until the next update.
@tulpa @joeo10

@ParadeGrotesque is that really so? The only thing I see so far are requirements for operators of certificate authorities. Which personally I think is a good idea, based on the amount of fly-by-night outfits.

But I don't claim to have anything approaching the complete picture. Pointers appreciated. 👍

@ParadeGrotesque @joeo10 mh interesting, thanks. Not great.

I actually see this as an issue for the OS more so than a browser. With Firefox for example maintaining its own certificate store it should be doable to just remove the problematic certificates. But on android or windows with browsers that use the OS store it would become really problematic.

@goatsarah nice lecture. However, there are no sadistic predators. This is the kind of anthropomorphic BS that currently takes a huge toll on the shark population and leads so-called humans to eliminate lots of species over the centuries. Please stop projecting human traits onto animals - they don't deserve it.

@paul @RL_Dane that's interesting. I always thought Evolution was the bloatier one of the two. Are you comparing package size or memory use at runtime?

@RL_Dane @paul ok. Though there might be a bunch of dependencies as well?

@RL_Dane holy shit. Is that pulling in all of KDE?

@RL_Dane yeah, just checked on Fedora. Pretty similar. 275MB for Thunderbird versus 11MB for Evolution.

That's what happens when you package up a complete web browser for html emails. ?
