The average tenure of a Chief Information Security Officer said to sit between 18 to 24 months. This is barely enough time to get feet under the table, never mind a meaningful seat at the table. Two questions arise: why is there such volatile churn in this space; and how does it affect enterprise cybersecurity? https://www.securityweek.com/the-ciso-carousel-and-its-effect-on-enterprise-cybersecurity/

@SecurityWriter @jbhall56 @jerry based on what I’ve seen I would recommend to somebody interviewing for a CISO position that they only take the job if they get the authority to take things off the network that are an unacceptable risk and that aren’t fixed; but that’s rarely on the table

De provincies Noord-Brabant en Zeeland maken zich zorgen over de vergunningverlening voor activiteiten die bijdragen aan de stikstofdepositie in Nederland. Als ze dat ook in hun eigen provincies zouden doen, werd het probleem misschien nog wel eens opgelost. https://fd.nl/politiek/1485544/en-toen-veroorzaakte-nederland-een-stikstofcrisis-in-vlaanderen

    @rikefranke "Neoliberalism" is fascinating. There is virtually nobody who calls him-/herself a neoliberal and there is no political party with that name anywhere as far as I know. It only exists as a concept that people oppose.

    Actually, Internet Explorer 6 was once 97% of the browser market. That’s right, 97%—they had the browser market locked down!

    If ever there was a situation where “embrace, extend, extinguish” (EEE) should have worked, it was with the open web.

    Yet Microsoft failed. Why is that?

    First, while Microsoft initially was installed by default on every Mac, they had neglected the Mac version of Internet Explorer. So Apple took action and made their own browser—Safari. They shipped this in 2003.

    But also, Microsoft refused to build a version of Internet Explorer for Linux. This forced Linux advocates to build their own web browser engines, most prominently KHTML. Apple forked KHTML into WebKit, which was then used as Safari’s browser engine.

    Thereafter Netscape rose from the ashes as Mozilla, released Firefox. And Firefox not only caused tabs to go mainstream, but also extensions too.

    And where was Microsoft while all this was happening? Resting on their laurels, content with the belief that EEE would work. They never improved IE6. As all the other browsers came out, IE6 looked more and more worse.

    But still, they had the corporations using it, so there was no fire in Microsoft to improve IE6.

    The final nail in the coffin was Chrome. Corporations were willing to make the leap to Chrome because Google built backwards compatibility for IE6 with Chrome.

    Microsoft tried to recover with subsequent versions of Internet Explorer. But they eventually discontinued it and released a new browser called Edge.

    Nevertheless, Microsoft never achieved browser dominance again even with installing edge as the default browser on Windows.

    Microsoft failed to the open web. It wasn’t the open web that was extinguished. It was Internet Explorer.

    @atomicpoet Thanks, that’s a nice sunmary. But IIRC, Safari was based on KHTML (Konqueror) so that must have come first. And wasn’t Firefox (called something else initially) not there before Safari, too? And the fact that Microsoft got into big legal trouble for bundling IE with Windows probably deserves a mention :)

    Few things can replace hands on usage in understanding the enthusiasm around hyped products. I remember Microsoft execs downplaying the iPhone and how silly their criticisms sounded on using the product.

    I made this mistake with Tesla and assuming other automakers would catch up. Then I got in one.

    My life is remembering the right etiquette for the right culture and drinking the right amount and knowing what to do in the disaster and wearing the right clothes and makeup and having the right hair and nails done ahead of time, and having the proper media schedule, and knowing which greeting is appropriate, how to code switch, and listening at the right time, and when to be quiet all when carrying the weight of a crisis and catastrophe.

    Neither your mood nor your geographical analogy adds anything here.
    To clarify, I reject Brownmiller's claim that rape is all about power and not at all about sex. At least some men just want sex for its own sake, never mind with whom, if anyone, hence Fleshlights™, sex dolls, etc.

    @KFuentesGeorge @Teri_Kanefield @hugh The argument, in my opinion, should be that "human nature" is not a moral justification -- by arguing about whether or not some bad thing is "natural" you are falling into a trap: you concede that being "natural" somehow makes it right, or inevitable. It doesn't.

    @GossiTheDog yes the content warnings are a bit silly as is the insistence on alt text for each and every image. The people pushing that on others are easily ignored though. One thing that annoys me a bit is that I see quite a lot of far left retoric, some of it a bit nasty and on the edge of scapegoating. But absolutely nowhere near as vicious as the rwnj’s on commercial social media. Overall I like Mastodon a lot.
