Yeah, no. Microsoft does have a linux version of their Edge browser, but they can't bribe me to trust them if all they're offering is a *chance* to *maybe* get something.

She is on the wrong side of this argument. ID and Age verification are surveillance technology and will definitely be used against you - either by government, big business, or hackers. It may be time for smart people to do everything on the dark web.

“Negative” views of Broadcom driving thousands of VMware migrations, rival says

1 Comment

Amid customer dissatisfaction around Broadcom's VMware takeover, rivals have been trying to lure customers from the leading virtualization firm. One of VMware's biggest competitors, Nutanix, claims to have swiped tens of thousands of VMware customers.

Speaking at a press briefing at Nutanix’s .NEXT conference in Chicago this week, Nutanix CEO Rajiv Ramaswami said that “about 30,000 customers” have migrated from VMware to the rival platform, pointing to customer disapproval over Broadcom’s VMware strategy, SDxCentral, a London-based IT publication, reported today.

“I think there's no doubt that the customer sentiment continues to be negative about Broadcom,” Ramaswami said, per SDxCentral.

Broadcom had priced VMware out of our capability to continue with them.

Sen. Wyden Warns of Another Section 702 Abuse

1 Comment

Sen. Ron Wyden is warning us of an abuse of Section 702:

Wyden took to the Senate floor to deliver a lengthy speech, ostensibly about the since approved (with support of many Democrats) nomination of Joshua Rudd to lead the NSA. Wyden was protesting that nomination, but in the context of Rudd being unwilling to agree to basic constitutional limitations on NSA surveillance. But that’s just a jumping off point ahead of Section 702’s upcoming reauthorization deadline. Buried in the speech is a passage that should set off every alarm bell:

There’s another example of secret law related to Section 702, one that directly affects the privacy rights of Americans. For years, I have asked various administrations to declassify this matter. Thus far they have all refused, although I am still waiting for a response from DNI Gabbard. I strongly believe that this matter can and should be declassified and that Congress needs to debate it openly before Section 702 is reauthorized. In fact, when it is eventually declassified, the American people will be stunned that it took so long and that Congress has been debating this authority with insufficient information.

Over the decades, we have learned to take Wyden’s warnings seriously.
