After Viral Sermon, GOP Threatens Religious Liberty - Word&Way

Amid the vitriol against Episcopal Bishop Mariann Budde from Trump and other Republicans this week, a few proposals stick out since they attempt to empower the federal government to decide which religious beliefs should be allowed or not.

"A Public Religion Research Institute study from the Fall revealed the strong connection between the role of patriarchy, attitudes on child-rearing, and religiosity that directly predict one’s support for both Trump and violent authoritarianism. We are all now hijacked by powerful men like Donald Trump, whose parental figures were mostly vindictive, cruel, or absent."

Firefox 136 looks poised to enforce Certificate Transparency.

It may be late, but combined with CRLite (and its other Web PKI progress), it may soon be the browser with the most robust Web PKI support.

While I would still say that Chromium generally wins on the security front, I’m happy to see the gap narrow with time and to see Firefox occasionally inch ahead in some areas.

Dear #Android #App #Developers, as it still happens far too often (no naming, no shaming! 💩 happens to everyone of us) a reminder to take good care of your #signing keys – and also take precautions for the case that your keystore might get lost.

@S1m Key rotation does no longer work at F-Droid.org, but it does at IzzyOnDroid (as we implemented the suggested patches instead of accepting their implementation of the "POC fix" back then). If Key rotation is used, no notifications are needed; IIRC, Android handles that (we have only 1 such app yet). And establishing RB here does not require it either, as we only ship the APKs signed by their resp. devs to begin with (RB runs on a "parallel track" here).

IzzyOnDroid ✅

@S1m I have my doubts towards the former (that would mean rolling back their implementation, at least in parts, and using the suggested patches instead, which they rejected. The argument was that f-droid.org itself does not need key rotation, IIRC.). And as long as we still use fdroidserver, the only way we can notify is via the inlined per-release changelogs (aka "Fastlane changelogs"), which is what we do.

@S1m which needs to be implemented serverside (fdroidserver writing the index) AND clientside (to show it). Without the index itself supporting it, there's nothing the clients can do. So: gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidserver… ? gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidclient… ? Does not look like this will happen.

@S1m the f-droid client doesn't handle key rotation. I think neo store and droid-ify allow disabling the key fingerprint check allowing android to handle the rotation but all clients will by default consider the key incompatible and not offer an update as the index format itself does not support key rotation even when generated using an implementation that doesn't flat out reject all APKs with rotated keys like fdroidserver does

Did you know that you can add and use "ephemeral profiles" where all messages get deleted after a set time? The "auto-delete from device" will keep your profile clean. It's a one sided ephemerality that you decide about, not your chat partners. Good for coordinating things without digital traces and where only "the current day" or "week" is important but not all the past history. Saved messages stay, though, until you explicitely delete them. #ephemeral #deltachat

Hi @Tutanota

I want you to know that your CAPTCHA is inaccessible for disabled people:
- blind people can't see the clock;
- visually impaired people may not be able to see it correctly too;
- dyscalculic people (like me!!) have difficulties reading a clock (moreover when all numbers are not written on it)!

I think this @w3c documentation should interest you to fix it: w3.org/TR/turingtest/

I hope you will do something so that everyone can use your services. Thanks.

#accessibility #a11y

A captcha where you need to copy the hour displayed on the image of a clock where you can see 3, 6, 9, 12 and other numbers are dots.

Inaccessibility of CAPTCHA

Various approaches have been employed over many years to distinguish human users of web sites from robots. The traditional CAPTCHA approach asking users to identify obscured text in an image remains common, but other approaches have emerged.
