Trump's official denouncement of former CISA director Chris Krebs (in the form of a "Presidential Memorandum") is chilling in substance and utterly Stalinesque in tone. By threatening anyone who hires him, it aims to render Krebs effectively unemployable.
I said it then, and I will repeat it now: There is simply no evidence that the 2020 election was "hacked". Krebs's forthright clarity about this in November, 2020 was a brave and important act of public service.

@nicoco nous on cherche à renouveler nos poêles justement à cause de ça. J'ai suivi de très très loin ces histoires, et je ne connaissais pas Cristel.
Je vois qu'il ont un revêtement anti-adhésif aussi sur certaines poêles (cristel.com/fr/foire-aux-quest…), du coup vous pensez que c'est à éviter aussi ?
Et vous connaissez des trucs comme greenpan.us/ ? Mais bon, pas trop envie d'acheter US surtout en ce moment.

Yep. I saved hundreds or even thousands of dollars a month just from switching from Substack to self-hosted Ghost.

I pay a roughly flat $85/month now (~$75 for mailsending, $10 for hosting), vs. 10% of all my subscription income.
Here’s some napkin math for how expensive Substack is compared to its competitors, assuming that roughly 7% of all subscribers will pay for their subscriptions, and that subscriptions cost $5/month.
Former Substack creators say they’re earning more on new platforms that offer larger shares of subscription revenue
Former Substack writers who exited the platform in early 2024 are making more money on Beehiiv and Ghost thanks to their fixed pricing models.Alexander Lee (Digiday)

Definuj odpovidajici zabezpeceni. Ja jsem na 99,83% presvedcenej, ze Twitter se vejde do platformy s odpovidajicim zabezpecenim.
Z principu, na jakym soucasny technologie existujou, nejde zranitelnostem, kterej jdou exploitovat v prevzeti uctu zabranit (na nulu). Ale jde mitigovat dopad temer k nule, coz na platforme moc nezalezi a hlavne se to nestalo tady a nestalo by se to ani na jakekoli statni/evropske/klidne i ceske.
Nevim no, na prvni dobrou s tebou souhlasim, ale argumentacni souboj vyhrat nemuzes. Kdybys udelal vsechno, co pises, tak by se to stejne stalo. Protoze ta konkretni zranitelnost s zadnym z tech bodu nesouvisi.
Naopak pro body, kde vladni IT selhalo, neni platforma relevantni. Velikost Twitteru hraje na obe strany. Zvysuje riziko, protoze je pro utocnila sexy, zaroven maji lepsi procesy reseni zranitelnosti, nez by mel maly tym.
Argumenty pro lepsi reseni jsou jinde.
