How many companies that claim to be equal opportunity employers and have a zero-tolerance policy against misogyny and abuse in the workplace will actually sever ties with this troubling company and seek alternatives?
I’m not holding my breath. The tech industry is becoming increasingly toxic, and its leaders are not only shielded from accountability but are also actively shaping our lives. It's appalling.
Mastodon and Threads too.
Twitter was a community for many individuals and organizations. It gained significant traction until Elon Musk took over, causing a dramatic shift. Now, fragments of that community are scattered across various platforms: Threads, Bluesky, Mastodon, and more.
We may need to allow evolution and gravity to take their course. Hopefully, something new will arise from today’s chaotic landscape.
It's surprising that this remains an issue in 2024.
Considering their track record, the situation is astonishing: their clients include nearly all Fortune 500 companies, as well as various agencies within the US federal government. They even hired Chris Krebs, the former director of the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, to consult on the previous breach.
This company should be stripped and sold for parts. They're just not serious.
If I was the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, I would also conduct an audit of their systems, as it appears their previous director is not... effective.
What point are you trying to make?
Anyway, you turn it; Schmidt and Gates are full of shit and just telling us to buzz off. They both have a financial interest in AI and are the human version of a parasite. They will do anything to earn more, even if it messes up other people's futures.
"28.6 percent are worried about open source security."
I burst out laughing when I read this. They're not concerned about security; they're worried because they won't have anyone to yell at when they're stuck.
If companies were led by IT people instead of professional managers, they would have chosen the most practical solution rather than putting all their trust in one option. This chaos exists because the C-level has been fixated on paying for SLAs instead of focusing on the product.the product.
Your initial statement is based on incorrect information, and your second remark is inappropriate. Furthermore, comparing unrelated subjects is not constructive.
Why GDPR Works:
Enhanced Data Protection: GDPR has significantly improved data protection for individuals in the EU. It ensures that personal data is handled with the highest standards of security and privacy.
Increased Transparency: Companies must be transparent about collecting, using, and storing personal data. This fosters trust between businesses and their customers.
Strict Penalties: GDPR enforces strict penalties for non-compliance, which motivates companies to adhere to data protection regulations.
Global Influence: Despite being an EU regulation, GDPR has influenced data protection laws worldwide, setting a global benchmark for privacy standards.
Why Privacy Laws Are Essential:
Protecting Personal Rights: Privacy laws safeguard individuals' rights to control their personal information, preventing misuse and unauthorized access.
Building Trust: When consumers know their data is protected by law, they are more likely to trust and engage with businesses.
Preventing Abuse: Without privacy laws, there would be little to no accountability for companies mishandling personal data, leading to potential abuse and exploitation.
Without GDPR, perpetrators would not feel obliged to mention the abusive amount of data they collect, and the subject wouldn't even be on the table. Nothing is perfect, but something is always one more than nothing.
Looks like the switch didn't go as smoothly as planned, huh? It seems like the decision to go with "it's free" as the main selling point might have skipped a few crucial steps.
A thorough due diligence process probably would have flagged potential issues and shown that simply "ditching" your current setup wasn't the best move.
Your conclusions also seem to rely on some outdated notions of what "Linux" actually is today. But hey, at least a solution was found—just maybe not in the most efficient way.
SAP's mafia-style tactics are mind-blowing.
They lure customers in with irresistible offers, then squeeze them dry because they have them in a tight spot.
This software should have an upgrade path while maintaining existing customization. It's criminal to force customers to ditch everything and switch to a new system that doesn't even play nice with SAP's old version. Talk about a curse!
And to top it off, taxpayers will foot the bill for a new version while SAP lays off tens of thousands of employees.
