Penelope passed away peacefully in my arms tonight. We made sure her last few hours were wonderful. I'll describe more later but it involved going to the park, meeting a toad and dark chocolate mousse.

This is the worst day of my life, she was everything to me. I was her Daddy and she was my bouncy, feisty little girl. She knew she was a rough and tumble princess and she acted accordingly. She was always in charge.

I loved her with all of my heart. Every day she was the first person I saw and the last person I saw at night.

I know I'm going to be posting a lot over the coming days but words will never be able to describe the love I had for her and she for me.

He is a Plante cheerleader and that's enough for me to not if I was in the riding.


After reading Google’s announcement that they no longer plan to deprecate third-party cookies, we the @tag wanted to make our position clear.

Third-party cookies have got to go.

We have updated our TAG finding “Third-party cookies must be removed” to spell out our concerns.

it's been a while since I taught Advanced Compilers and this time I thought I'd start out having the class read a few big-picture papers about the field.

some ideas I had include:
- Reflections on Trusting Trust
- Impact of economics on compiler optimization
- Death of Optimizing Compilers
cr.yp.to/talks/2015.04.16/slid…

what else should be on this list?

in reply to John Regehr

ok so @yosh suggested "A Catalog of Optimizing Transformations" which of course I should have thought of clear.rice.edu/comp512/Lecture…

then there are a few fun things to read about Proebsting's Law such as gwern.net/doc/cs/algorithm/200…

#WhatsApp for #Windows lets Python, PHP scripts execute with no warning

Granted, Python needs to be installed on the system prior.

Meta says they will not bother to fix this, despite maintaining a built-in list of potentially dangerous file types (ex: .exe)

@xogium apparently this has been reported before. :ablobcatgoogly:

You would think they’d just add these to the list they already use, it’s low hanging fruit. But seems like it’s not worth the effort because it’ll “only” affect a handful of users.

in reply to Avoid the Hack!

@xogium oddly the same story goes for accessibility-related things, so this is an area in which security and accessibility can intersect in a strange way, too. Until there's mass-exploitation of this (and it's a bit limited of course with requiring Python to be in path to begin with), they may never get to it, it'll stay in Backlog for months, get punted to another team, go to their backlog, maybe a spike gets created over it, yada yada yada

I got my partner - who is non-technical - a Windows laptop for Christmas in 2023. A fancy one with Windows 11, TPM blah blah. Clean install.

It has Defender, Smart App Control enabled etc so I wasn’t concerned about the security.

Anyhoo, just looked at 7 months later and Defender is disabled, a ‘free’ AV called RAV is registered which appears to be a fake Chinese AV, Smart App Control is disabled, her traffic is routed to a Chinese VPN, her browser is Opera GX (a Chinese owned one).

in reply to Kevin Beaumont

She installed exactly one application, a movie player. It hijacked her entire system. This is why Recall is such a fucking bad idea btw, the idea Windows security is fixed is a joke - home users have no chance against this stuff.


Gajim 1.9.3 has been released 🎉
