Chatkontrolle: Spanien plädiert für EU-Verbot von Ende-zu-Ende-Verschlüsselung

Die EU-Staaten diskutieren über die Pläne zur sogenannten Chatkontrolle. Ein geleaktes Dokument macht jetzt deutlich, wie extrem die Positionen teilweise sind.

Are you still using the official Mastodon app? You don't have to!

There are loads of brilliant third party apps which work with your existing Mastodon account.

Unlike Twitter, Facebook etc, Mastodon uses open standards, which means third party apps can do everything the official apps do and more.

There are links to third party apps on the official Mastodon site, just scroll down past the official ones:

Here’s how I used AI to clone a 60 Minutes correspondent’s voice to trick a colleague into handing over Sharyn's passport number. I cloned Sharyn’s voice then manipulated the caller ID to show Sharyn’s name on the caller ID with a spoofing tool.
The hack took 5 minutes total for me to steal the sensitive information.

So, how do we protect ourselves, our loved ones, and our organizations?
1. Make sure the people around you know that caller ID is easily faked (spoofed) and that voices can also be easily impersonated.
2. If they receive a dire call from “you”, verify it’s really you with another method of communication (text, DM, FT, call, etc) before taking an action (like sending money). Kind of like human MFA.

Some suggest setting up a secret “verification word” with their folks ones so that if someone impersonates & demands money/access etc you can ask for the verification word to see if it’s a real crisis. This won’t work for all people but could work for some. If it’s a match, use it.

In general, I recommend keeping advice simple: if premise of call is dire use a 2nd method of communication to confirm a person is in trouble before taking action (like wiring money or sensitive data). Rapid text, email, DM, have others message repeatedly — before wiring money.

Bottom line is:
Scammers use urgency & fear to convince victims to take actions (like sending money, data, etc).
If premise of a call, text, email, or DM is too dire (or too good to be true), that’s a likely scam.
Use a 2nd method of communication to check it’s real before taking action!

I am going to do an experiment right now.
I'm going to do a live stream right now of me telling a random story, and I will try to use my harp as well.

Also, anyone in chat could suggest things for the story, I think that could be fun. (That doesn't mean I will use all suggestions, of course, but well...)

I am StoryDragon on Mastodon and here. Though on programming fora and some others I am Privacy_Dragon.Maybe I will stream some programming sometimes. Likely much of it will be for the calculator (TI-84+ CE), if I stream at all.

I had a drive exactly like this, but mine was a 4TB Extreme not a pro. Replaced it with a different one with a better firmware and for the last 6 or so weeks, perfectly fine. The last one died within 5 days. Replaced the data, 5 days later, dead. Sent it back. I don't know if that's an older, or newer drive but either way it's not my friend. This one at least is behaving itself.

Buyer beware: some SanDisk Extreme SSDs are wiping people’s data

Western Digital is de facto admitting that its SanDisk Extreme Pro SSDs have been vulnerable to a massive glitch that can wipe all your data — by issuing a firmware update for only one of the reportedly affected models.

Is it groovy that #Microsoft has such an engaged #accessibility team? Yup. Is it a downer that they continue to post on a platform that fired its entire accessibility team and killed off the third-party accessibility tools, while ignoring this one? Hell yup. So if you missed it, here’s their #GAAD blog post. blogs.microsoft.com/on-the-iss…

Global Accessibility Awareness Day – Accessibility at the heart of innovation   - Microsoft On the Issues

Today, we celebrate the 12th annual Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD): A day to drive awareness, highlight the advancements in accessible technology, and the incredible work happening within the community to bridge the disability divide.

Tl'dr #rustlang is a great collaboration opportunity for @gnome and @kde.

A long long time ago, #freedesktop initiative was created for precisely this goal. While in many ways it was a success story (especially in terms of establishing standards), it came short in one specific aspect: code collaboration.

Most freedesktop (all?) projects were and are almost exclusively developed and maintained by GNOME folks. That's not very surprising, given that C (being that lowest common denominator) had to be the programming language of choice. Just like most GNOME folks wouldn't want to touch C++, KDE folks don't particularly enjoy coding in C either. I know both have their reasons and the point here is not to play the blame game here.

There is not much point in dwelling in the past here but if we decide to write all future infrastructure/non-UI projects (that would have otherwise been written in C or C++) in Rust, there's a great potential for collaboration, I believe.

Talk is cheap, you could say and I agree. Hence why I've taken some steps in this direction already: github.com/dbus2/

ATTENTION K-MART SHOPPERS! 🛒 Back in the 80s & 90s, a former Kmart employee saved a private collection of original in-store background music cassettes from being lost to history. Take a nostalgic stroll through the aisles at archive.org/details/attentionk…
