      https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2021/03/fcc-wants-to-hear-from-americans-whove-been-ignored-by-broadband-industry/

      The Federal Communications Commission wants to hear from Internet users about their experiences trying to find good broadband service. The FCC announced yesterday that it is seeking "first-hand accounts on broadband availability and service quality directly from consumers" as part of a new data collection effort. People who live in areas where ISPs either haven't deployed service or have failed to upgrade old networks may be especially interested in participating..

      They are doing this so that they can pretend that they don't know how bad it is.

      how bad what is? Discord?

                    OS X is 20 years old now?! I remember that change, seems like it wasn't nearly that long ago.

                        No kidding. I remember Mac magazines talking about the upcoming OSX release in late 1999. It wasn't out yet, but everyone was talking about what a game changer it would be. It still feels like the "new kid on the block" even after all of this time. It's still SO much younger than Linux and Windows NT.

                                New Android malware with full range of spying capabilities has been found

                                Despite its sophistication, the app can be easy for more experienced users to spot.
                                Researchers have discovered a new advanced piece of Android malware that finds sensitive information stored on infected devices and sends it to attacker-controlled servers. The app disguises itself as a system update that must be downloaded from a third-party store, researchers from security firm Zimperium said on Friday. In fact, it’s a remote-access trojan that receives and executes commands from a command-and-control server. It provides a full-featured spying platform that performs a wide range of malicious activities.

                                  Purple Fox Rootkit Can Now Spread Itself to Other Windows Computers

                                  Purple Fox, a Windows malware previously known for infecting machines by using exploit kits and phishing emails, has now added a new technique to its arsenal that gives it worm-like propagation capabilities
                                  The ongoing campaign makes use of a "novel spreading technique via indiscriminate port scanning and exploitation of exposed SMB services with weak passwords and hashes," according to Guardicore researchers, who say the attacks have spiked by about 600% since May 2020. A total of 90,000 incidents have been spotted through the rest of 2020 and the beginning of 2021. First discovered in March 2018, Purple Fox is distributed in the form of malicious ".msi" payloads hosted on nearly 2,000 compromised Windows servers that, in turn, download and execute a component with rootkit capabilities, which enables the threat actors to hide the malware on the machine and make it easy to evade detection.

                                        Yeah I'm actually OK with this, since RH has obviously changed course with supplying the killing blow to CentOS them not funding other open source projects doesn't really matter to me.

                                        It's the same argument that many are having about "don't use the community" edition if you're a business. Don't use RH if you care about FOSS.

                                          The CentOS disaster has nothing to do with this. Did you even bother to read more than the headline?

                                          Or at least know who Stallman is if all you did was read the headline?
