Another data broker is telling me that they have a „legitimate interest“ in scraping and selling my data because they need to for their business. 🙄 That is not enough.
When someone claims legitimate interest, they have to show that your rights and freedoms do not outweigh their interests. „We want to because money!“ does not quite do that!

Time to prepare my next complaint.

@r_alb is it possible to see your complaints somewhere? I would love to learn how to properly write these.

Okay, so, podcasts are great but sometimes I prefer to read instead of listen. 🤔

So what if – hear me out – there was a thing like podcasts, but for text! 🤯

It would still be distributed via RSS, you could still follow them and automagically pull them to your device. But instead of audio, there would be text. ✏️

👉 We could call them: textcasts!

And get this: I already have one! It was super easy to set up, actually. You can find it here:

So proud of my brother-in-law for sticking to his guns and sharing his truth in this @nytimes profile. I love you, brother! https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/03/movies/jar-jar-binks-actor-star-wars-ahmed-best.html

@aram Ahmed Best is your brother-in-law?! :blobaww:

I remember listening to the Redemption of Jar Jar Binks podcast:
https://www.ted.com/podcasts/the-redemption-of-jar-jar-binks

It shook me. Especially the episode where Ahmed dives deep into the really dark side of the Jar Jar hate.

I admit I used to poke a bit of fun at Jar Jar myself. Even though it never got anywhere close to the worst stuff Ahmed had to go through, I still feel a tad ashamed.

I really admire the man. I am so sorry he had to go through all of this.

Dear Hivemind!

We've seen supply chain attacks where old unmaintained npm packages were taken over and malwared, targeting devs.

We've seen attacks that typosquatted names of popular npm packages to get devs to include these accidentally.

We've seen malicious JS libraries hosted on large CDNs, used in attacks.

Have we seen a case where a JS library / npm package got taken over, malwered, and then published to CDNs in order to target websites that include it?

:boost_ok:

rysiek,
@rysiek@mstdn.social avatar

@tanepiper honestly I am surprised that I was so far not able to find a specific example of this happening.

I do vaguely remember some cryptocurrency websites being targeted that way, but I think the vector was not CDNs but malicious npm dependencies on build time. 🤔

@rysiek@mstdn.social avatar

@naugtur ah yes, that's I think something I remembered but couldn't find. Thanks!

@ErikUden eh, I am going to bet that was just rainbow capitalism anyway. He probably saw it as beneficial to his bottom line t position Tesla nad himself like that. He no longer does. 🤷‍♀️
