    It's Canonical. The company that literally asks for high school grades and a multi-page essay on any job application and will pass if you're not in the 99th percentile of year 9 maths even while requiring many years experience (which means you probably don't even know what your year 9 maths scores were). All the while they pay a fraction of any other Bay Area tech company.

    What i just described isn't a joke or an exaggeration either. It's literally part of the application process and you can look this up.

    Anyway they are quite simply hopelessly mismanaged and no one should be touching Canonical products at this point.

        Holy crap, they are showing in apt… why in the world wouldn’t they update the dang CVE page?!

        I agree though, this took too long.
