`Investors valued the platform at $44bn in a so-called secondary deal earlier this month, in which they exchange existing stakes in the company, according to two people with knowledge of the matter.`

and `X’s revenues have dropped since Musk’s takeover, but it posted about $1.2bn in adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation in 2024, according to two people familiar with the matter — roughly flat with the period before Musk’s takeover.`

I am quite sure meta does support the german AfD. Rage causes engagement. AfD (and Trump and Orban and le Pen) communicate in such emotional ways that algorithms prefer them. Facebook does not care about truth, it cares about active users

Not sure how north korean hackers benefit from not knowing who is accessing their servers?

There was this movie, 'dont look up'

The open university so far is doable for me while working full time. I study Part-Time, BSc at this pace takes 6 years.

Full Bsc Degree costs around 20k€ I believe. Sometimes the money I paid for the module is biggest motivation to do the work needed, sometimes I enjoy the courses. First year (cyber) did take very few hours with my current work experience. I am in second (full time equivalent-) year now and it's getting a bit more interesting, but still nowhere near the hours I expected to put.

Their math materials are awesome - I wish I would have taken maths over cyber. (But would have much less of a life because I would need to put much more effort)

Edit: I should add maybe: I am self taught working in a DevOps position and am older than you. I left school after 10 years, and I don't have the high school requirements to study in most universities in Europe.
