schestowitz[TR2]                                <p>One of the biggest highlights in this release is the introduction of a FIPS-compliant method for verifying CVD and CDIFF signature database files. While the feature is included in this candidate, ClamAV developers aren’t yet distributing the associated “.cvd.sign” files for the main databases. </p>Aug 21 10:55
schestowitz[TR2]                                <p> For now, this means systems running in strict FIPS mode will still see Freshclam updates fail. However, the release candidate does include test keys and certificates so developers can begin trying out the new signing and verification workflow. </p>Aug 21 10:55

schestowitz[TR2]@OPAug 21 23:34
schestowitz[TR2]Let's recap...Aug 21 23:34
schestowitz[TR2]Big corporations go to great lengths to 'hide' layoffs. For example, do things that would not require to announce the layoffs in accordance with the Warn Act (Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification) and they make sure the groups they let go are not in a single location and over 50, or they push people out via 'performance' reviews and pressure, marketing (they message layoffs not as a failure but, AI or other 'positive' reasAug 21 23:34
schestowitz[TR2]ons), etc.Aug 21 23:34
schestowitz[TR2]They time the layoffs according to sales cycles, earnings, etc. For example, they know they cannot handle a bad earnings report + layoffs, so they wait until the earnings call is over an rhen decide when to time the layoffs.Aug 21 23:34
