Let's Encrypt, you're not even a for-profit business; there's nobody you need to shield the blow from. Just say "we're reducing certificate lifetimes to comply with CA/Browser Forum rules". You don't need to do the cowardly "replace lower with change" in the headline thing.
- victorbjorklund 10mo agoThat does not make any sense. Plenty of things on the internet are Open Source / Non-profit yet it affects us a lot. Of course it’s good to give people relying on your stuff heads-up etc.
- wizzwizz4 10mo agoGP is criticising the use of language in the headline, not the fact there's an announcement.
- b112 10mo agoPlus, the announcer is standing in front of a hedge. I'm not sure why, but every corporate picture I've seen of someone, in this context, is standing in front of a hedge. Seems to be a California thing? (Where I live, we only have leaves on hedges 6 months of the year)
- tptacek 10mo agoThe announcer, Matthew McPherrin, is a frequent commenter here (and a stand-up person deeply involved with information security).
- asadotzler 10mo agoIt's "let's not take your picture inside of the office because everyone hates the inside of offices. let's take your picture outside instead, near the office, but not featuring the office. oh, that tree over there is nice, but darn, the lighting underneath its branches isn't great. hey, that hedge over there reads great in light test and it works with what you're wearing, so, yeah, that'll do just fine."
- mcpherrinm 10mo agoIt was actually outside of my small apartment with bad lighting
- danparsonson 10mo agoThe announcement is about several changes they're making, not just about cert lifetimes.
