There is zero context, zero information, very alarming language but nothing about mitigation factors.

This is a terrible way of communicating vulnerabilities.

Looking for a different mail provider I passed on Proton because of their support for cryptocurrency and because the CEO politics.

I don’t care you are hosted in Zwitserland, your CEO makes me distrust the company dearly.

I have (re)watched Star Trek TNG more times than I can remember. I got a shock when I saw the title of this post.

I’m still sad that Debian is now integrating (external?) LLM in the build process which seems antithetical to the core values of Debian (as pointed out).

There is no alternative to Debian for me. I’m ready to justy throw out all my computers and become a goat herder at this point.

PS I’ll remove memory and storage from said computers to pay for land and goats before I chuck them out of my window.

That (caring for poor people) is anti-christ to the goals of Thiel, who wants to get rid of democracy and create city states governed by autocratic rulers.

Greta Thunberg. I am dead serious, this is what Thiel believes.

Telling people that you are a convicted fellon without disclosing what you did is a red flag to me.

Especially if its for the purpose to drum up interest for your autobiography.

It's easy to harp on PHP but I wonder if we're going to get this kind of vulnerabilities in languages like Python or Go soon too.

This is a multi-trillion dollar industry, too much money is at stake to be all ethical, moral and principled about things!

The idea that a for-profit company is allowed to scan licence plates and make this data available and searchable without restrictions seems ludicrous to me.

In The Netherlands, we do have ANPR camera's but they are run by the police and there are strict rules about data retention (no hit on a licence plate means drop the data). ANPR cameras aren't used as dragnet surveillance. The NL situation is not perfect, but it's on a different playing field.

With the absolute unregulated situation in the USA, the outcome has been predictable: cops stalking people and innocent people jailed for weeks due to mistakes.

I love Benn Jordan's work, including the video where they went to a Flock office building, filming employees. They didn't like being filmed, but it did not teach them a lesson unfortunately.

If you (still) work for Flock, don't think of yourself as a moral, decent person.

People should also know that Jeff Geerling is anti-abortion (even after r@pe), anti-contraception and anti-homosexuality. I wouldn’t go if I could and I love homelabs. Your politics matter, especially now.

Palo Alto by Malcolm Harris - a re-read about the history of Silicon Valley, highly recommended.
