@lennyzeltser @axonius thank you for this! Also thank you for not requiring a contact form in order to retrieve it! 😊

TIL about the blue roof conspiracy. Some people have way too much free time.

0xF21D,

@jerry this same thing cropped up during the California wildfires a few years back. The human tendency to seek outrageous explanation as part of confirmation bias and ignorance is itself a directed energy weapon.

RollingStone, to random

In February, Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene called for a “national divorce” between red and blue states. Now, she’s taking her call for a schism even further by encouraging states to outright “consider seceding from the union.” https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/marjorie-taylor-greene-states-consider-seceding-from-the-union-1234822567/

0xF21D,

@RollingStone The Libertarian party is all over this and once it’s done they want some kind of feudalism to replace it.

    Microsoft Edge is starting to annoy me big time https://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/microsoft-edge-personalized-web-got-it-annoyance.html The Ads aren't just in Edge. The whole Windows has gotten out of control with Ads and trackers everywhere. Microsoft is obsessed with Ad revenue in the Paid operating system.

    0xF21D,

    @nixCraft its very interesting that this feature isn't in Edge for Linux. At least it isn't on the debian package.

    fs0c131y, to OSINT

    Twitter will fall and the community has no new home. We should collectively worry about it.

    practitioners need to be connected to the world, to the news, discuss with a lot of different communities. This is why Twitter was the perfect place.

    My main scenario is:

    • Less and less people will create content on Twitter

    • Getting data from Twitter will be more complicated and so you will see less "OSINT investigations" publicly

    • The OSINT practitioners will be divided in multiple small communities

    • Fact checkers / Journalists will be lost. If the info is no more available on Twitter, they will need to find another entry point

    • Big org like Bellingcat or big Twitter account like mine will stay big aka it will be almost impossible to "build" a big account

    • The popularity of we saw after the beginning of the war in Ukraine will continue BUT almost exclusively among young people (students, ...)

    • OSINT will be used (badly) for political reasons (find opponents, dox people, ...).

    • Platforms, websites are more and more closing access to the data. No data, no investigations.

    • We are on the verge of multiple Internets (RuNet, ChiNet, ...). The era of 1 global Internet is probably over

    • As a consequence, doing an OSINT investigation in one part of the world will need more knowledge but also will be more dangerous as countries will have more control on "their" Internets

    • To finish, regulations. We will have more and more regulations about data and the use of (especially in Europe). Politicians will (badly) try to regulate this space

    Yep, imo the future for is quite bad.

    We need:

    • A public space
    • An international norm
    • OSINT practitioners need to weigh on the political debate
    • A coordination / partnership between companies (life will be hard for all of us)
    0xF21D,

    @fs0c131y I mostly agree but for one point you made, just kind of wrecks your entire narrative. Do you not see mastodon gaining traction? What is stopping you from making a “big account” here? I do see minimal interaction with your followers. What do you mean by “build a big account?” We’re you just letting the twitter algorithm build your account for you?

    Fascinated that the owners of social media sites see API usage and web scraping as "data pillaging" -- immoral theft! Stealing! and yet, if you or I say that we should be paid for the content we create on social media the idea is laughed out of the room.

    Social media is worthless without people and all the things we create do and say.

    It's so valuable that these boys are trying to lock it in a vault.

    0xF21D,

    @futurebird what is his definition of "normal users?" I thought normal users were those people who came to depend upon twitter as a public square, which for a while was just about everyone on the internet.

    Twitter launches new TweetDeck version

    After 30 days, only Twitter Blue users will be able to access it.... yeah, good luck with that

    @campuscodi will be pretty useless soon anyway.

    so there isnt a content moderation team here whining about people posting leak data.

    so where's all the leak data?

    0xF21D,

    @Viss to build off of that, not having that stuff unfolding live means we're going to miss important security events that might only now be available behind a security vendor's paywall.

    [My advice is] Don't go around shaving other people's cats.

    https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-news/fears-over-cruel-tiktok-trend-24529367

    0xF21D,

    @_dm the pictures don't match a spay/neuter release where they would sedate the cat.

    Two things I note.

    1. These owners should be keeping their cats indoors because cats are considered invasive species now, due to the harm they cause to local wildlife.

    2. This might be a young adult or a small group and i would be absolutely concerned that this is the beginning of more dangerous behavior. Killing pets? etc.

    If you use , and I really think you should consider using over or , there are a few
    outside of ad blockers that you really should consider using on a daily basis because it'll make your life easier and more secure.

    • Multi-Account Containers lets you define a number of containers. Each container has its own cookie store so you can isolate your accounts. You can force your social media into a single account and reduce your tracking footprint. Default containers for sites will force open a site in a specific container.

    • Cookie Quick Manager give you full control of your cookies and it functions seamlessly with Multi-Account containers.

    • Tree Style Tab is the grouping extension that puts Google and MSEdge side tab and tab grouping behavior to shame. Unfortunately it doesn't eliminate the tabs up top but if you are willing to forgive it for that one visual weakness it's a fantastic way to organize your daily life.

    Honorable Mention:

    • SingleFile will save an entire page with all its images and layout to a single HTML file. Forget "saving to pocket" when you can have a file, you can then apply your own search preferences to that file.

    Do you have monday off?

    @Viss holidays off in the United States are scarce, and when the one day falls on a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday, don’t party too hard.

    say what now

    0xF21D,

    @Viss I have not seen this happening here in Houston but I haven't looked, and this also makes me hate the internet. It's just as bad as "funny cat videos" where the cat is obviously not okay.

    Wow, Apple's worth has reached a staggering $3 trillion in cap. It's incredible to see the iPhone maker leading the way ahead of competitors like Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Nvidia, and Saudi Aramco. The news suggests that they may even reach a worth of $4 trillion by 2025. Currently, the world's top 10 companies have a combined value of several trillion dollars, surpassing the entire economies of some countries. It's worth investigating how this came to be?

    0xF21D,

    @nixCraft I consider apple a conglomerate first and a fashion label second. Technology company is somewhere down in the list.

    Ad blockers are also cybersecurity. Say it with me.

    They reduce malvertising, watering hole attacks, and general malicious script execution. It’s not all about you, ad firms.

    0xF21D,

    @hacks4pancakes and since Google is THE ad firm this wrecks all their credibility in the security space.

    0xF21D,

    @hacks4pancakes Agree 100%. It just sucks they're under the same huge roof.

    ok so, McD breakfast for one is exactly half the cost of a sit down joint - shit cost me forty mother fuckin bucks

    0xF21D,

    @jerry @coleens_ I'm waiting for the prophecy set fourth in the movie Demolition Man to be fulfilled. The one where Taco Bell survives the franchise wars and then all restaurants are Taco Bell. It sounds absurd, but consider that Taco Bell still exists.
