#BREAKING #Biden drops out of race https://trib.al/JMIMRDM
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@loke @noracodes I have a commit removing a paragraph of outdated documentation.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.

@raichoo Totally worth it, I think! There's enough content there to work through for a long time, and the community is great too.
@pablobm Same. Add Substack to the list as well.
Last night, after watching #hignfy, 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 😅
I've never been so insulted by something I 100% agree with.

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, #Atlassian... 😭
This is #Confluence when I'm trying to add a descriptive #AltText:
> We aren't able to accept every possible character in Alt text. All Unicode letters and numbers are OK, but these are the only acceptable symbols: , ' . - _ ( ).
(#Jira shows a variant of this).
