@cdarwin@c.imThe Italian tech holding company Bending Spoons, has developed a reputation for buying tech companies past their peak and aggressively cutting costs.
The firm acquired Evernote in 2022, followed by Meetup and WeTransfer in 2024, and AOL and Eventbrite in 2025.
Layoffs followed many of those deals. In September 2024, just months after being acquired by Bending Spoons, WeTransfer laid off 75% of its staff.

@metacurity@infosec.exchangeThings I have read in major newspapers and cyber publications over the past week that are just really fiction, totally false, and yet have become conventional wisdom among cyber journos:
--TP-Link routers are a US security threat. (not more than any other router)
--The SEC's settlement with SolarWinds is evidence of how little Trump cares about cyber (utterly false -- fed judge pooped on the SEC's legality in 2024 and much more).

The Narwhal reports on a new study by Sierra Club BC that finds efforts to protect old growth forests in BC have largely failed since the ruling centrist NDP party has been in charge starting in 2013. The report found that "13,000 football fields worth of old-growth deferral zones were logged" in the past 4 years in BC. Meanwhile, premier David Eby has urged forestry production in BC to increase by 50% over 2024 levels.
