| schestowitz__[TR] | I know those tactics. I've done Techrights since I was 24. How do you think Novell staff tried to discredit "Boycott Novell"? Threats, name-calling, etc. Social control media is the worst in the regards. Stay away from those corporate bee hives. | Aug 19 07:47 |

| schestowitz__[TR] | <p>Photodiodes alone can’t detect color, only brightness. Professional and consumer digital cameras incorporate color filters and algorithms to interpolate color.

| schestowitz__[TR] | <p>As we’ve seen in the previous article, a browser extension isn’t very different from a website. It’s all the same HTML pages and JavaScript code. The code executes in the browser’s regular sandbox. So what can websites possibly gain by exploiting vulnerabilities in a browser extension?</p> | Aug 19 11:25 |
| schestowitz__[TR] | <p>Well, access to extension privileges of course. Browser extensions usually have lots of those, typically explicitly defined in the permissions entry of the extension manifest, but some are granted implicitly. Reason enough to take a closer look at some of these permissions and their potential for abuse.</p> | Aug 19 11:25 |

| schestowitz__[TR] | <blockquote> | Aug 19 11:28 |
| schestowitz__[TR] | <p>If I'm doing this text formatting in jq purely for output, I think it's clear that @tsv is the easiest option and has the simplest jq expression. I suspect I'd never have a reason to use string concatenation to produce the entire output line instead of doing string interpolation. Well, maybe if I'm in some shell context that makes giving jq all of those '\(' bits too hard, since string concatenation | Aug 19 11:28 |
| schestowitz__[TR] | doesn't need any backslashes.</p> | Aug 19 11:28 |
| schestowitz__[TR] | <p>But honestly, if I need complicated formatting I'm more likely to fix jq's output up in awk with its printf. Awk printf will do a lot that's at least quite annoying in jq.</p> | Aug 19 11:28 |

| schestowitz__[TR] | <p>Suicides are a matter of public record. A coroner conducts an inquest in open court. The suicide was closely intertwined with Debian culture.

Even if this noise comes from less than one percent of the community, if the other ninety-nine percent are simply passive then the moderator might be duped or might simply remove a post as a result of fatigue.

| schestowitz__[TR] | <p>Many Debian Developers work for small companies, universities and some non-profit organizations. Yet a lot of the pressure in Debian today clearly comes from Ubuntu and Google.
