That’s where the second and third paragraphs come in. Because other companies likely test it themselves, too.

They’ll typically report security bugs privately and then, after X amount of months, publicly announce the bug. Doing it this way will, ideally, force the other company to patch the bug prior to the announcement. If not, they’ll end up with a publicly known security bug that bad actors can now exploit. The announcement will also let the public (including companies) know to update their software.

I imagine it probably is inspected, just not by the public. They probably do it themselves.

And they may have contracts with certain companies specializing in this sort of security that also inspect it.

And there’s also the cybersecurity companies that test it whether they’re contracted or not. At some companies, their entire job revolves around finding bugs (especially security bugs) in other companies’ software.

Just because it’s not on GitHub doesn’t mean it’s not a good product that hasn’t been thoroughly tested.

Is there something I missed?

Someone tweeted that homeschooling should largely be illegal.

Someone else quoted the tweet them and said people like them should be hung. Quoting a tweet is like replying while also saying, “HEY, EVERYBODY, LOOK AT THIS!”

Then a third person corrected the second person’s grammar.

It could be assumed that the second person was homeschooled, but there’s no evidence within the picture to support that.

I knew I’d heard of a site that did this already. Couldn’t remember the name, though. Thanks!

People can usually unlock the carrier on their own. Many phones (or at least every phone I’ve ever gotten from T-Mobile) even come pre-installed with a carrier unlocking app. It’s just not automatic, and certain conditions need to be met.

People may also sometimes be able to buy phones already unlocked directly from the manufacturer if they want to. (Whether or not they’re able to do this depends on the manufacturer.)

IRS: “Remember, you broke up with us.”

I’m just not ready…

I’m almost the same way. I’m not really feeling negative about it, though. I just feel nothing towards it, which is almost worse. Like you said, though… maybe some day. The interest is still there somewhat, just not nearly enough for me to act on it.

I watched 7, suffered through 8 and didn’t even care about watching 9.

I almost didn’t watch 9. Then a friend of mine who’d walked out of the theater while watching 8 told me 9 was actually good. So I took his word for it. Episode 9 was okay. Not good or bad. Felt like they were trying to cram two movies into one. But, without getting into spoilers, compared to 8, 9 was still okay.

My guess is it’s because it’s a similar role to a Reddit Admin, which is to say they’re basically a global moderator. Also, having access of any kind to the site’s SQL server requires an element of trust. That’s probably why they require the video interview.

How so?

Yeah, the dislike bar used to be a thing. You could see how many dislikes there were compared to likes, all represented on a line below the two buttons. It was sort of like this image, except imagine the “yes” and “no” as a single line (but retaining their separate colors).

PlayStation doesn’t have an X button, it has a Cross button. /j

Yeah, but it’s almost always used for animations. Seeing one that’s not animated just feels… weird.

That’s… a great question. What’s the purpose of a gif with only one frame?

I’m betting it’s because Pixels have some unique hardware/ software quirks or something.

The difference is the stage at which they “advocate” for it.

People here are advocating for it now before Facebook has a chance to “embrace” us.

Facebook would only “advocate” for it after they’ve “embraced” us and started to “extend” ActivityPub with proprietary features that potentially caused issues with Lemmy users.

With the former, Lemmy continues on its own, growing naturally. With the latter, Lemmy users lose contact with communities they’ve become a part of and may be forced to move to Threads to continue interacting with their communities. That harms Lemmy’s active userbase. Additionally, because of how big Threads is, it’d naturally have the largest communities, so other Lemmy users would start using them instead of communities on other instances. That means those communities would shrink and may even die off entirely. When Facebook cuts off ActivityPub support, that’ll leave us with several small or abandoned communities. So we’d end up with a smaller userbase and fewer active communities.

My Lemmy app doesn’t like that parenthese. Fixed link in case anyone else is affected: https://xkcd.com/327/
