Didn’t he just get through saying that he doesn’t give a rats ass?
Let him cook.
Instead of bundling all available security patches into the next ASB, Google now prioritizes shipping only “high-risk” vulnerabilities in its monthly releases. The majority of security fixes, meanwhile, will be shipped in quarterly ASBs. Google defines “high-risk” vulnerabilities as issues that are crucial to address immediately, such as those under active exploitation or that are part of a known exploit chain. This designation is based on real-world threat level and is distinct from a vulnerability’s formal “critical” or “high” severity rating.
Reckless behavior! You cannot adequately rate a vulnerability's real risk, and we have a very limited view of what's being exploited in the wild. Threat actors don't exactly publish their successes, and even the smallest bugs can be used to build powerful primitives in ways that can be really surprising (e.g. a single off-by-one null byte overflow that seems minor can lead actual code execution with sufficient control of the heap). Picking and choosing is a direct security compromise that makes Android less secure no matter which way you slice it.
This reads to me as sugar-coating a cost-cutting measure. "Prioritize fixing and patching the highest-risk ones first" my ass. When you know of a bug that could have security relevance, you fix that bug. This just says you can't afford the developers to actually fix your broken code.
QRP Labs stuff is great. I have a few different units that really got me into digital.
The guardian is usually highly reputable. They’re one of the few left that I would consider reputable. Bit of a shame. At least they retracted it.
What a gross legacy.
He sure stands to benefit. One has to wonder.
A country of desperate people is weak.
This sounds to me more like they had a gripe with a WordPress plug-in and that was about the extent of the issue.
LibreOffice is pretty good these days.

Perhaps we can at least say that your heart was in the right place depending on your personal goals. It’s even possible that your work bought additional time which does matter even though ultimately we had the current collapse.
I don’t think it’s all bad. But it’s definitely a shame that we’re at this point.
