The summary seems to ignore upstream.

They did infact

removed polkit : https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/mozilla-vpn-client/pull/70...

refactor auth using D-Bus: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/mozilla-vpn-client/pull/71...

These are why author's PR was dropped.

Can you elaborate on the pricing difference?

Free vs monthly cost. What is there to elaborate on?

The distrowatch page provides more information than their website, https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=lite

While trying to find info on their website, they seem to highlight some text in a sentence by making it blue, but it's not a link. Quite annoying.

And while not a major thing, calling the distro "lite" then shipping with 2100 packages so you won't have to install anything else is a misnomer

This is a blast from the past, indeed!

Blue links is the ancient default when you don't use css.

It was news for me that any websites still would not override the default css, though.

So don't live with the freedom you have by right, and just live with artificial extra legal boundaries set up by a paranoid cooperation.

That's not how law works.

At some point, I was prompted to upgrade, with no indication that it would invalidate my license. Subsequently, there was no obvious path to downgrade. I'm not sure how many people are in my boat, but that left a sour taste. I like the product, but not enough to read the fine print in the license agreement and pay for it again.

Just uninstall and get old versions at https://www.sublimetext.com/2 or https://www.sublimetext.com/3

Since you are licensed you can just disable update check.

I used my licensed old ST for years like this, but recently purchased the new version to get wayland support.

> I find it funny that now fuzzers are being written in rust, as if that translates to better quality bugs being found.

I can't find any such claim in the article. It says the tools are written in Rust and Python. I don't see any claims that fuzzing with a Rust-based fuzzer produces "better quality bugs". That seems to be your own assumptions projected on to the authors?

It's more likely that the authors wrote the tools in languages they're comfortable working with. It's not surprising that security researchers would be familiar with writing Rust.

The claim is in the quote itself, in their use of the expression "as if" ...

You could also call it a baseless rant.

I don't like that Parallels requires a subscription to get more than 8 GB of RAM in a virtual machine so I'll be sticking with VMWare Fusion when I get an Apple Silicon Mac.

That's assuming that I decide that I actually need such a product. Most of my use of VMWare Fusion on my Intel Mac is to run Linux VMs. I recently have switched to using Docker for that.

The only real snag was that I want services running in a Docker container to be reachable from Mac processes on the same port they would be on when deployed on a real server somewhere. E.g., if I've got a server that would be foo.com when live on a real server that I'm testing locally in a container, I want it to appear at some_ip:443 on my Mac, not on something like localhost:8443 that Docker maps to port 443 in the container.

That turned out to be not too difficult to deal with by using Wireguard. Specifically, Wireguard between the Linux VM that Docker Mac creates to run containers and the Mac.

If Docker Mac works as well on Apple Silicon I might be able to just stick with that and not need either VMWare or Parallels.

You can add hostnames to /etc/hosts if "localhost" bothers you.

Then you map ports to host ports using the -p docker argument.

Solving this with wireguard sounds like super overkill.
