In which I try Matrix and Element and can't even manage to sign on, because the Onboarding is a Trashfire of bad UX, a selection of vulnerable servers and a confusion of clients.

Man stelle sich einmal vor, in einem Fall wäre eine Schusswaffe anstelle eines Automobils als Tatwaffe verwendet worden. Wäre folgender Dialog in einer Polizeidienststelle denkbar?

„Auf mich wurde mit einer Schusswaffe geschossen.“

„Wurden Sie getroffen?“

„Nein, die Kugel ging wenige cm an meinem Kopf vorbei.“

„Gibt es einen Sachschaden zu beklagen?“

„Ähm. Nein?“

„Mussten Sie ausweichen?“

„Nein, ich hatte Glück. Der Schütze hat knapp danebengeschossen.“

„Dann ist ja nichts passiert. Einen schönen Tag noch.“

Danke an @chrischmi vom @ADFC für diese treffende Beschreibung des #Fahrradalltag|s!

very much in favor of gay marriage because it's good cybersecurity practice*. some people will have two mother's maiden names (good) or no mother's maiden name at all (best; use something more secure) which makes their accounts more difficult to steal via the recovery questions

*among other reasons

One of these days I'm going to have to write myself a script that wraps 'gitk' and presents (where appropriate) a message along the lines of

"You have %d gitks open on this directory already, %d of which are minimised or hidden behind stuff. Are you sure you need to open an extra one?"

When people say “RSS is dead” what they really mean is “we couldn’t figure out a way to monetise RSS.”

Back in the 1980s it was comically easy to steal some performance cars. We had an epidemic of car theft.

They didn't criminalise screwdriver ownership, they mandated engine immobilisers on new cars. The epidemic slowed to a trickle.

The solution to built-in security vulnerabilities is to mandate products without them.

Not to ban tools which might exploit them, leaving the vulnerabilities in place and leaving the crooks able to keep stealing.

UK Government Secretly Shuts Down NHS Pride Programme

Civil servants have told VICE News that UK government officials within the Department of Health and Social Care encouraged NHS bosses to pull the funding of the diversity scheme, as part of a wider pushback against LGBTQ inclusion—and especially trans inclusion programmes.

Diesen Sonntag, 11. Februar, findet die alljährliche Gegendemonstration zum Naziaufmarsch um den 13. Februar statt. Die Nazi-Demo um NPD (neuerdings Die Heimat) und JN nimmt die Bombardierung Dresdens vor 79 Jahren als Anlass Geschichtsrevisionismus zu betreiben und dabei die Rolle Dresdens im Dritten Reich und am Holocaust zu relativieren.

Google is too big to fail, and yet they seem to be failing at basic things they used to do well (like search) while removing useful features (like cache) and adding a bunch of crap nobody needs or wants.

Want to know if a given domain name shows up anywhere in search? Well screw you, we're not going to tell you that anymore, but here's 1,400 completely useless and irrelevant results that could possibly have some info (but don't). When the search engine could have done what it's done for years, and admit that it doesn't know WTF you're talking about and say "no results found." Now it just makes shit up if it doesn't know the answer.

Hey cool! My search result shows the term I was looking for is present on 7 websites. Shoot! None of them are online anymore. How about showing us your cached version of the site, you know the one that was used to create this search result? Oh wait, no, you can't see that anymore. Why? Here's Danny Sullivan's dismissive and mystifying explanation: "“It was meant for helping people access pages when way back, you often couldn’t depend on a page loading,” Sullivan wrote on X. “These days, things have greatly improved. So, it was decided to retire it.”

Want software? Great, Google will serve a malicious ad on top that looks a lot like an organic search result but which is paid for by scammers and installs malware.

Screen shot from an actual campaign video, from MAGA Republican candidate for Missouri Valentina Gomez, in which she promises:

“When I’m Secretary of State, I will 🔥BURN🔥all books that are grooming, indoctrinating, and sexualizing our children. MAGA. America First🇺🇸”

I remember when the Nazis burned books. I also remember what they burned next.

Rishi Sunak's position appears to be that it's disgusting to claim he would be transphobic about a dead girl when there's so many live ones to be bigoted about.

The three million toothbrush botnet story isn’t true.

Here’s the original source of the story: https://archive.is/2024.01.30-203406/https://www.luzernerzeitung.ch/wirtschaft/kriminalitaet-die-zahnbuersten-greifen-an-das-sind-die-aktuellen-cybergefahren-und-so-koennen-sie-sich-schuetzen-ld.2569480

It’s simply a made up example. It doesn’t exist. It starts talking about NoName Ddosia, too, which also isn’t toothbrushes.
