Anyone who has been on the fediverse for more than a few years knows how these waves go. This one was the same just so much larger and with a larger bump in plateau. But we also knew this is how the tech press was going to cover the inevitable slump because they only know how to cover Silicon Valley techbro pitches which only understand a false dichotomy of “unicorns”/ “going to the moon” or “dying” for not doing so. The fediverse is not one entity much less company. I’ll take the wins and keep moving forward. I like being the underdog anyway. Best bright side is the VCs chasing the new shiny ball will maybe leave us alone and go back to doing their vulture capitalism play elsewhere. Unfortunately that may be to try to make fetch happen with crypto and NFTs again. #fediverse #TechMedia #slashdot #VultureCapitalism #Twitter #TwitterMigration

When Logan took over #slashdot (later #linuxjournal as well, among other "ASSETS") he came to #techrights IRC to assure us things would change for the better. He also asked me to change our wiki page (no, he did not deserve the benefit of the doubt) http://techrights.org/wiki/index.php/Slashdot
#Slashdot has just admitted it's an anti- #linux platform (Editor) http://www.tuxmachines.org/node/161291#comment-32813
#slashdot is dead to me, still. It uses its #linux section to help enemies of Linux spread lies. Not much has changed! Logan is another wolf, with different clothing. http://techrights.org/wiki/index.php/Slashdot if you read this, Logan, to hell with you! WE GAVE YOU ANOTHER CHANCE.
Is #slashdot helping to repeat talking points gathered by #microsoft and #billgates sponsored sites to poo-poo the launch of Arch Linux/KDE-based console? https://linux.slashdot.org/story/22/02/12/199214/valves-steam-deck-will-run-linux-based-steam-os---but-wont-have-a-fortnite-port

#slashdot pushing #wsl2 spam again. It's NOT a pro- #gnu #linux site, it's a pro- #microsoft site. http://techrights.org/wiki/Slashdot
#slashdot runs overtime shilling #windows #vista Service Pack '11', even in the "LINUX" section. #wsl2 is dead, but Microsoft milks it for googlebombing the competition http://techrights.org/2020/05/06/wsl2-usage-numbers/
#slashdot promoting both ATTACKS on #gnu #linux and FUD against Linux ... in the "NEWS" section this weekend. SLASHDOT IS NOT WHAT IT USED TO BE. IT IS NOT OUR FRIEND. http://techrights.org/wiki/index.php/Slashdot
#slashdot and #microsoft -funded #ArseTechnicallyPedophile (their editor #MicrosoftPeter was arrested for child rape) are now #googlebombing "LINUX" to promote #vista11 ... disguesting.

LinkedIn kills "Intro" -- the MITM IMAP attack "feature"
Computerworld: "LinkedIn introduces, quickly says goodbye to email service that sparked security concerns"
LinkedIn is shutting down Intro, its recently launched mobile service for connecting people over email, that raised security concerns.
LinkedIn launched Intro last October, as part of a larger push into becoming a "mobile first" company. The service was made for the iPhone, and was designed to grab LinkedIn profile information and insert it into emails received on phones. The service displayed that information to the recipient from the email's sender if the sender was also on LinkedIn....
"Tech products come and go these days and many have short lifespans," said Vincent Liu, a partner at the firm, via email.
Um. Yeah.
h/t Slashdot (yeah, that Slashdot)
