Google's embargo system harms security for nearly all Android users by setting the expectation of patches taking 2 to 6 months for OEMs to ship after disclosure. Patches are available to sophisticated attackers as soon as Google discloses them to OEMs. A partial embargo for months makes no sense.

Android's security patch system doesn't make any sense and is completely at odds with how quickly people can discover and exploit vulnerabilities with the help of LLMs. The security preview release system would be far more reasonable if the embargo for sources and details was no more than 48 hours.

I haven't kept up with home networking best practices. Is IPv6 common on DIY home networks nowadays or does everyone still stick with v4? Admittedly, I'm not too familiar with the ins and outs or its pitfalls.

Are there downsides to v4-only networks?

In Yesterday's IO Keynote Google declared war on the remnants of the Web.

While they packaged it as a lot of "AI" talk what their whole approach of decontextualizing information, of taking away links to sources and instead producing some LLM generated response means is that they want to establish a new abstraction layer on the web. Where Zuckerberg with his Metaverse failed Google is starting the next attack: Your website, your work no longer matters.

Well it matters as (unpaid) raw material for their synthetic text extruders but not as cultural artifact you can share with others.

This is a literal revolution but one against the participatory web, against us: The goal is to take away the web and guide people into Google's abstraction on top of it. An abstraction they control and moderate. It's about monopolizing access to information.

If you care about the web, about people's ability to participate in it as more than mere passive consumers, this needs to be taken seriously. De-Googlifying your mental apparatus becomes more urgent today. Find other search engines, don't use their browser. Or wake up in a slopified AOL kind of environment.
