The Atlantic editor in chief Jeffrey Goldberg "I refuse to participate in the normalization of Donald Trump."

The Atlantic published a special edition of its monthly magazine focusing on what a second Trump term would look like.

"He points out that his position is not a partisan one. It's 'not about Republicans and Democrats," he stressed, but "about authoritarians versus pro-democracy Americans.' "

Kudos to Goldberg and #TheAtlantic

How does a push notification from, say, signal, end up transmitting data to google? Like, why would my phone tell a google server about an os task? Is this just my os spying on me, or does sending a push notification require transmitting data to a google server?

Does the GDPR provide any protections from os vendors collecting data about notifications?

The 23andMe hack is a nightmare. 23andMe is a nightmare. Genetic databases are a nightmare. Don't do this to yourself and don't do it to your family members:

I would have expected Tom Scott to know that quiet zone is an essential part of a QR code, especially if surrounded by dark colors.

And no, "my phone can read it anyway" is not a valid argument to break standards.

The #EuropeanCommission is finally considering whether "#OpenSource software (#OSS)…can be used as a foundation for developing the new #publishing platform" for EC-funded #OpenAccess research.
op.europa.eu/en/publication-de…

Unfortunately, the new software would merely "underpin" #OpenResearchEurope (#ORE), not replace it. ORE is proprietary software owned by #TaylorAndFrancis. When the EC called for bids on ORE, it did not require open code despite many calls to do so.
