“I used to know these things. I used to be good at this. C’mon!” said SecUnit1
I’m so out of practice.
Having come back to the Viv community after the decision to start a retirement life early, I am somewhat feeling lost. I have:
- Made irrelevant posts to the developer blog about new Chrome releases. (They were very nice about it, gently correcting me that the Desktop versions use Extended Release Channel versions, not Stable. Thanks, gents. But, as SecUnit said2, having people being nice about your shortcomings can be so excruciating)
- Submitted bug report under the wrong category and got told off3. (At least they didn’t try to be nice.)
- Realised I don’t even know how to show images in forum post. (OK I suppose I can upload to a third party hosting service first and upload from there. But I don’t want to use a third party service if I can help it.)
I used to know how to do those things. This must be how SecUnit felt in System Collapse.
Ah well. I’m a retiree. Who cares. :coffee:

- “Thanks for your bug report. Note that this was reported as a security vulnerability, but it is not related to security. Crashers are stability issues, not security issues, unless they cause a controllable memory corruption, data loss or compromise, and if they can be triggered by a remote attacker and used to abuse Vivaldi users. For details of what we would consider to be a security issue, please see the following link: [1]https://vivaldi.com/security/how-we-rate-security-issues/#products Your report does not suggest any way for this to be triggered by a remote attacker, and cannot be used in one of the ways described above. Therefore, this is just a crasher. As a result, your report has reached the wrong team. We have converted it to a regular bug report, and passed it back to the team that handles regular incoming bugs.” ↩︎
