At least once a day I'm reminded of this slide from @bagder last year at FOSDEM

@SecurityWriter common mistake, thinking that you need to put something *into* your brain to use JavaScript. What you *actually* need to do is remove best practices, separations of concerns, sanity, and hope. Then you'll finally be a JavaScript developer.

🚨BREAKING: Google will soon install an app called #AndroidSystemSafetyCore
They say it's a "safety measure" to protect your #privacy, but in fact it's client-side scanning.
Yet, we all know that client-side scanning is bad: https://tuta.com/blog/eu-client-side-scanning
Deinstall the app on your #Android: System -> Apps
@Edent to my mind, they sem semantically different. But what do I know.

Before we left for preschool this morning, my 4-year-old stopped in front of the table where I left my #FOSDEM stickers. She perused them, picked one up and said "I'm giving this to M" (her best friend).
What did she pick?
"Make art, not billionaires".
You should have seen my smile.
Wishing you all a great day!
P.S.: off I go actually make art - aka a video - promoting the Fediverse and criticizing tech oligarchs
@Edent using the Git hash as a version number, would pretty much follow that.

@ChrisMayLA6 presumably it's not just me, but this Labour govt exerting so much pressure on quangos, which are meant to have some independence, is not a good thing.
I was disappointed by the head of the CMA going, since they seemed to have finally started tackling the mobile phone duopoly.
I had hoped for so much more from Starmer and co, other than yet more hot air, empty words and 'resets'.

A 19 year old has been given admin access to the core US treasury financial system by Elon Musk’s DOGE.
He goes by the name of “Mr. Big Balls” online, is on Russian forums, and has tried to purchase DDoS botnets.
Elon has said sharing this information is illegal, so please do not press the boost button.

As I kind of expected, I'm sad to say todays webinar on the Online Safety Act by OFCOM, was a total waste of time.
It did little to explain thing on top of what was available by reading their documents.
They did little to actually answer anyone's questions.
Rather disappointing.
