What do you mean by "aloof manner"? As far as I'm aware, snaps' updating mechanism is quite reasonable and doesn't suffer from the many update related issues that apt/debs have, especially when users want packa

I imagine this being the case every time I am forced to walk through the retail area in an airport to get to my gate. They should expect some travellers to be in a hurry and they deliberately put things in their way. I understand their reas

For a start, "landing a plane" is a solved problem since long before GPS came along. They don't need "help". As others have said, this seems to be a contrived "problem" to be solving. VOR, ADF, DME/DM

The article doesn't mention that the security vulnerabilities are inherited from Debian, so Debian users are also affected. The article is incorrect in implying that users must either upgrade to needrestart 3.8 or adjust configuration

As far as I understand their speed mostly comes from gravity assists from Jupiter, so you'd have to wait for suitable orbital alignments and the basic technology for "much faster speed" doesn't exist.

The flaw is that the bully can pick their moment and thus avoid being observed. The victim doesn’t get to choose the moment and means by which they have to defend themselves. And the school will enforce zero tolerance only against what thei

That's not really relevant nowadays. Most attacks are done indiscriminately and en-masse, so an attacker wouldn't have to wait very long in practice. Only in "advanced persistent thread" territory is your point really re

To expand on this: if the user is in the sudo group, they have explicit permission to execute anything they like as root. If someone wants a user to not be able to do this, they don't put that user in the sudo group. As far as I can te

I think you overestimate Canonical's size. What is happening though is really long support for older releases being provided by Canonical so you will be able to use older Qt 5 based apps on Ubuntu, security supported, until 2034, on

I’m already using a password manager. I struggle to see the security benefit to storing passkeys in them. On the other hand I like the security benefit of hardware passkeys. But these are unusable because 1) most sites that support passkeys

Most sites that support passkeys only allow one passkey per account, and it’s never clear whether they do or not.

XXX is already highlighted by most editors by default (or at least mine) and seems suitable. Any comment to be committed to a shared branch should probably contain more specifics and not contain that, if you wanted to institute a policy.

That doesn't work with keeping the device secure though. Security issues need to be treated as quality problems that are in breach of the original contract until rectified. But then referring to an original firmware won't work. So
