Outraged by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias.
He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends. The one person he told was a ProPublica reporter.

online subscription service: hey you need to renew and update your card info
me: okay. here are my magic numbers.
service: no. this card is European
me: yes, I rather went out of my way to pay extra for a mastercard after moving to Europe because American sites take those without being weird about it. yet you’re being weird about it
service: because the last time you renewed, you paid in the currency trusted by God Himself, the American dollar. Now you claim to only have socialist Euros
me: yes?? so?? do you think I got an account with a European bank to defraud you, a sixty dollar annual subscription service???
service: you can’t say you’re in America one year and in Europe the next. that doesn’t make sense. no one has ever done that
me: … can I gift a subscription to myself?
service: yes of course. thank you for gifting a subscription to this stalwart American, mysterious European lady

"The Prime Minister has to realize, the US will now be lead by a president whose values we do not share, and who has zero respect for US allies."
These are the words of @pelle, party leader of the Danish party Enhedslisten, who recommends Denmark puts a coming deal about US airbases in Denmark on ice, as a consequence of Trump's offensive words about Greenland.

"We are not a #Russian rag": thousands of people protested against #Fico's policies in #Bratislava, #Aktuality.
About 4,000 people protested in #Bratislava today, expressing their dissatisfaction with Prime Minister #Robert_Fico's foreign policy. Demonstrators waved #EU and #Slovak flags and chanted, "We are not #Russia" and "#Fico, go to #Moscow."

@johanneskastl I dislike three major thigs:
1. Wastefulness: services depend on Java? How about we run 10 JVM instances.
2. Security: docker-specific: jailbreaks touching the daemon and attacks on the daemon grant elevated privileges.
3. Ad-hoc use by many users: containerisation attacks the wrong half of "works on my machine" problem by replicating "my machine" to othere developers, staging, production. I hope this point makes sense. Basically we run side effects until we massage something into shape where stuff builds, then hold our breath and start shipping. My particular pet peeve is port forwarding to host. I unironically wish this docker feature was behind a feature flag. Another ad-hoc pet peeve – suppose I need to have an #LSP to enable advanced #IDE features. How do I provision correct versions of system (or user-profile) dependencies? To ensure perfect devX, I need to force my devs to connect to the box's LSP, which brings us to problem 1 - now I have 10 Java VMs and 10 Java LSPs. And my image sizes grow proportionally. And I have to optimise it away in prod. So what do people do? Ad-hoc solutions and holding breath!
Ironically to #2, in #ZeroHR, we use #nix to build #docker images of test task submissions and, in case of multiplayer submissions, we use docker compose on top of this to join the submissions into a network.
But we deploy our systems on bare metal, and we let production dictate staging and dev systems. Thus, we can rely on reproducible builds and, where absolutely needed, SaaS mocking, to ensure smooth devX.
@dyalog I can't help but to compare APL to orange

#Russia underestimated #Chechnya and was defeated in what later became known as the First #Chechen_War.
Later, #Russia learned from its mistakes and won the Second #Chechen_War, levelling #Grozny to the ground.
#Ukraine needs reliable functioning security guarantees for a lasting peace, not just a ceasefire that will allow #Russia to attack again. This is of the utmost importance not just for #Ukraine but for #European security in general.

Malicious parties have taken over popular Chrome plugins to push malware.
I can confirm it is not just Cyberhaven plugin. We dont have a list of impacted plugins, just reports of machines reaching out to the reported malicious domains from Chrome. Still gathering informaiton.

'when we have people like Keir Starmer, Rachel Reeves, Kemi Badenoch, and all the others in UK politics who believe in this nonsense view of growth at all costs and corporate maximization as their priority.
People should be the epicentre of their concern, but they're not.'

I'm fully aware that this is a total waste of my time, but given today's news about an Apple settlement relating to Siri audio recordings I wrote this blog post about why I still don't think that companies are spying on us through our phone's microphones: https://simonwillison.net/2025/Jan/2/they-spy-on-you-but-not-like-that/
That said, #docker for development is better than some alternatives. Like sending code archives to a shared google drive for instance.
Ok, so.
I have avoided using #docker for development (because it's not fit for development).
Now I'm looking at how people work with it and #firebase and in case you haven't seen it, the best way I can express it is "#nix rebuild whenever you need to do something non-trivial, except with a shitton of side-effects".
It's absolutely unfit for purpose.
