Millions of linux users around the world had their productivity crippled by #cloudstrike as they all rushed to read the news, post hot takes & dad jokes to their Mastodon feed.

@loke @noracodes I have a commit removing a paragraph of outdated documentation. Yay coding!

If you're still using polyfill.io you probably want to replace/remove it IMMEDIATELY. The domain has been sold and the new owners are injecting #malware (1).

If you absolutely have to use externally hosted #JavaScript and #CSS, it's a good idea to secure it with #SubresourceIntegrity (2). It's supported by most old browsers you're probably polyfilling for.

TIL that the purported skull of Mary Magdalene is enshrined in a gold reliquary in Saint-Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume, in France, and that reliquary is _the_ most Warhammer-40k-looking real thing I have ever seen in my life, bar none.

the EU being able to read my Matrix E2EE messages would be outlandish. i can't even read my Matrix E2EE messages

@raichoo Totally worth it, I think! There's enough content there to work through for a long time, and the community is great too.

When looking at search results, I feel a resistance to click through to Medium posts. Do others feel similarly?

I was wondering earlier if I was just being a snob, but then visited one and had to close three popups out of the bat. Reassurance that it's not (just) snobbery.

Last night, after watching , I wasn’t able to get out of iPlayer. The remote wasn’t having any of it. Out of batteries or something...

Eventually I remembered I had been watching it on actual BBC1 😅

The first book of the Bible is called Mega Drive in Europe, it's only Genesis in the US.

It just clicked in my brain. What I haven't been able to articulate about why I'm so anxious about #Windows Recall. I'm sure others have already gotten to where I am.

It's worse than "a system that tracks everything you do" and stores that info in a basic database that could be easily compromised.
It's worse than a nanny surveillance tool for companies to spy on their employees.

It's inescapable.

It doesn't matter if I make a dozen "how to disable recall" tutorials. The second YOUR data shows up on someone ELSE'S screen, it's in THEIR recall database.

It won't matter if you're a master #security expert specialist. You can't account for EVERY other computer you've ever interacted with. If a family member looks up an old email with your personal data in it, your data is now at risk.

If THEIR system is compromised YOUR data is at risk.

I just went from "vague feeling of unease" to "actively writing templates to canvas elected officials, regulators, and attorneys general."

Argh, ... 😭

This is when I'm trying to add a descriptive :

( shows a variant of this).
