BBC creates pop-up election station on BBC Sounds radiotoday.co.uk/2024/06/bbc-c…

I made a new blocklist for bridges to other networks that aren’t opt-in, excluding Twitter (“X”) bridges as they’re already covered by another list of mine. Bridged networks include Nostr, Bluesky, and Mavenly.

More documentation and a direct link are in the “supplementary blocklists” section of my blocklist article.

I removed them from my consensus-informed lists because if you want to block bridged networks, you’re better off with the supplementary lists that don’t have a consensus requirement.

@Ember I’m more worried about mostr than bridgy-fed’s nostr bridge since anybody can point a mostr instance at an unmoderated relay, and open the full unmoderated network to fedi.

I’m assuming two things:

  1. moderated relays are a thing that exist (there should be some that actively block media which could put most servers at risk, at the very least)
  2. bridgy-fed’s nostr bridge uses a moderated relay

because I don’t want to claim otherwise without evidence and I’m too tired to look right now.

As part of @ThePSF Board Election, there are three proposed changes to the Bylaws which will be on the ballot. If you are unsure about it, please read our blog post (buff.ly/45H3aiH ) we tried to answer some of the questions in the community. There will also be an office hour held this Thursday.

Can’t find my thread to update it, but after a Chinese company acquired Polyfill.io last year (embedded in over 100k websites), it has started serving malware to users of said websites - prepare to be surprised.

Worth grepping your source code for "polyfill.io" and taking urgent measures to remove that code if you're linking it into your site - the domain name apparently now intermittently serves malicious JavaScript

Today the EU opens accession negotiations with Ukraine and Moldova.

We stand at the threshold of a key moment for these two countries. Together, we can forge a larger and forward-looking Europe.

The path ahead will be challenging but also filled with immense opportunities.

#Windows 11 is now automatically enabling #OneDrive folder backup without asking permission

"Quietly and without any announcement, the company [#Microsoft] changed Windows 11's initial setup so that it could turn on the automatic folder backup without asking for it."

Imagine your operating system forcing all your desktop files to sync to the cloud, without letting you know it would do that. Users should be aware of when their files are synced to any cloud.

Oh wait, I forgot... Microsoft has zero regard for user choice, #privacy, and #security.
