“There’s going to be violence if he’s convicted but it doesn’t matter because once we start making prosecutorial decisions based on those collateral consequences, we’re done. Then the criminal justice system no longer operates,” Kirschner told me today.

This and much more inside:

One of Apple's design choices around hardware-backed keys stored in the secure enclave is that they can only be used by the app that generated them - so a key generated by (eg) Chrome for WebAuthn purposes can't be used by (eg) Safari. We have a command-line tool for obtaining auth tokens from Okta that has to handle MFA, so the past few weeks have involved me figuring out enough of Okta's MFA enrollment flow to add support to it so users can use TouchID to auth from the CLI.

I would be pretty upset if my baby came out looking different than expected and I learned it was because my partner had plastic surgery to correct that trait and never told me about it, especially because I think you have to wait at least a couple of years until you can get plastic surgery on a baby make them look less ugly.

Please for the love of Democracy, please stop calling that Appeal to Heaven flag a Christian Nationalist flag.

It's an insurrectionist flag.

That sound? It's the patter of tiny rat feet on the hawsers as they flee from the good ship Tory.....

Their lack of courage is exceeded only by their lack of any kind of morality. They've reduced the UK to a rotting hulk. And now they'll all get six months' severance pay at our expense while they find cosy directorships to settle into.

New in PN: "If Trump returns, it’s likely he and his minions will push to abolish the 22nd Amendment and its max of two terms for presidents — in fact Project 2025 is already scheming to do just that. Don’t have to take it from us. Listen to the man himself." https://www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-third-term-nra-speech-dallas

ordered to immediately halt Rafah offensive by top U.N. court

Israel is unlikely to comply with the order, which the top United Nations court has no power to enforce, but the landmark ruling will pile pressure on the increasingly isolated U.S. ally. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/israel-halt-rafah-offensive-international-court-of-justice-ruling-rcna153867

We've been hearing an increasing number of reports of trans people's GPs refusing to prescribe their HRT to them - even if they have a letter from an NHS gender clinic requesting that they do.

That's why we're created our new My GP is Refusing to Prescribe My HRT resource:

Has your GP recently refused to prescribe you HRT? Let us know at https://tinyurl.com/TransActualHRT

I’m embarrassed to say that I’ve only just recently been made aware of the cobalt mining situation in the Congo and I’m feeling… trapped.

My lifestyle is supported by something so awful - so opposed to everything I believe in - I don’t know what to do.

We have some very, very bad karma - and we’re all implicated.

For those who aren’t aware, Microsoft have decided to bake essentially an infostealer into base Windows OS and enable by default.

From the Microsoft FAQ: “Note that Recall does not perform content moderation. It will not hide information such as passwords or financial account numbers."

Info is stored locally - but rather than something like Redline stealing your local browser password vault, now they can just steal the last 3 months of everything you’ve typed and viewed in one database.

So the code underpinning Copilot+ Recall includes a whole bunch of Azure AI backend code, which has ended up in the Windows OS. It also has a ton of API hooks for user activity monitoring.

Apps themselves can also search and make themselves more searchable.

It opens a lot of attack surface.

The semantic search element is fun.

They really went all in with this and it will have profound negative implications for the safety of people who use Microsoft Windows.

Like @Quinnypig, I’d love if Google went on the record about what happened with this one.

https://www.unisuper.com.au/contact-us/outage-update

Tl;dr is an entire org got wiped, and they’re trying to suggest it’s some kind of Google Cloud issue as the cause.

@GossiTheDog@cyberplace.social avatar

Google have issued a blog about the Google Cloud customer they accidentally deleted.

A Google staff member accidentally set a termination date on their account, effectively, which deleted several thousand of their VMs. https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/infrastructure/details-of-google-cloud-gcve-incident
