Alex Castellani (@alecaddd) is leading the charge on Thunderbird’s modern redesign, and we're thrilled to have him on the team!

But before he discovered the awesomeness of #OpenSource, he had to learn a hard life lesson about pricey, proprietary software...

This is wild: @hillai@twitter.com found that apparently in Azure picking "multi-tenant" means that _every Azure user worldwide_ can log in. And that Microsoft had some of Bing's accounts configured as such. And that with that he could manipulate Bing search results. And inject XSS payloads into Bing search results. And could use that XSS to steal office365 tokens.

(And MS only paid $40K for that.)

We’ve raised this with the EU lobby lobby register

stormdragon2976 pushed changes to the testing branch of the audiogame-manager project Update action buttons to more closely reflect what they actually do according to the option selected. For example, the game launcher now says “Launch”, the -r options now shows “Remove”, etc.

Just set up a Sliding Sync proxy for my @matrix homeserver so I can use the next generation Element iOS client. Was super easy and wow the new client is not just amazingly fast, from loading content but also decrypting messages, but also has a nice UI and UX. It's under active development and available via TestFlight and boy it's fun to use already :)

Oh, the "protocols not platforms" problem again :-( We observed this with other platforms already. It's often a variant of some kind of free-speech idea vs. freedom of expression, often manifested in US or EU centric backgrounds.

And while I kiindda get their point, I'm still for calling scams scams. And for disallowing nazi shit or similar. However, there's an argument to be made that there may come someone else (like Musk with Twitter), or many, who suddenly ban(s) crates by PoC or LGBTQIA*.

In principle the system for pulling dependencies should have no say in this; while at the same time promoting moderation through e.g., federated crate indices. It probably will pan out that the majority of users would "subscribe" to a cryptocurrencies-are-scam index (likely even andrew and jeremy), while technically allowing tech bros to have their own bullshit index. Moderation must be a social issue (discussing which crate index to subscribe to) and solved by social means rather than technical (making the only index "regulate"). Technology must simply enable social measures (e.g., through federation).

“Among the unexpected sources of support for the magazine was the #fediverse—the collection of decentralized Mastodon servers that soared in popularity following Elon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter. Many comments on the GoFundMe page mention that the donors learned about the Observer through #Mastodon—where the Texas Observer was one of the first journalistic outlets to set up its own server, @jamescanup said.”

Phrase of the day:

"Orthopraxic robots"

Robots are being in used in religious rituals worldwide -- often because they're extremely reliable and precise, useful in traditions and rituals that prize proper execution ("orthopraxic")

The anthropologist Holly Waters wonders: What does it mean if robots can be better at religious observances than we humans are?
