I’ll say it again for those at the back:

An ad-blocker is a security tool.

Refusing to pick a side when one of the sides is fascism is picking the fascist side.

It's not brave. It's not moral. It's just surrendering in advance.

When Stalin invaded Finland Soviet Union was thrown out of League of Nations.

When the successor state invaded Ukraine, I got a visit from the head of its successor organisation.

Worth repeating

@jonn I'm also surprised that something like "mask-shaming' exists. In my region in France, people wear masks if they want and nobody would ever dare to ask them to lift it off.
Sad to hear that masks could be a problem. In Asia, they are a sign of politeness even if you have only a normal cold. @luckytran

A reminder that Visual Studio Code’s marketplace is still an absolute security clusterfuck that Microsoft have engineered.

There’s active supply chain attacks in there nobody has reported on. (That, yes, will get a cartoon porg blog on one day).

i am once again asking for mobile operating systems to have a "lie" option next to "allow" and "deny" for permissions like location, notifications, files, camera, nearby devices, etc. that generates sensible garbage to poison tracking profiles

a global "lie" toggle that causes all but a few trusted apps to receive false information would also be nice, if you're going to a protest or a sensitive medical appointment

wouldn't do much if your os vendor was an ad tech company (which is the case on pretty much everything but a linux or rooted android phone without google play services) but it would be a very cool feature for an android custom rom to add at the very least

When you meet people that can type out `openssl` commands from sheer memory, be kind to them, because they've been through a few things.
