I continuously experience a #cybersecurity conundrum.
A manufacturer/developer isn't investing in security because the customers don't demand security. And even less are running to pay a premium for security.
With the end users there still seems to be an "I have nothing to hide" attitude.
So I'm looking for ideas, suggestions and experiences on how to increase and generate security awareness both on the management side as well as on the end user side.
Regarding end users there is the additional challenge of another layer of indirection.
I need to enable the "sellers" to create the security awareness, as they talk to the end users.
I'm NOT looking for advice like "just tell them what can go wrong" because i don't think it works. Or at least not if it is abstract and isn't personal.

Only 1% of Mastodon users donate to support the team? Sure, not everyone can afford to do so, but that's still sad. Just made my own donation.
We’re still an absolute skeleton crew of 14 people, competing with teams sometimes 100x as large as ours. To get to our humble team size was only possible through the less than 1% community members who donate to Mastodon, a handful larger donations, & EU grants, all of which we are forever grateful for. We still have a large funding need for 2026, so please consider making a donation before the year-end if you’d like us to continue building and improving Mastodon joinmastodon.org/sponsors#dona…

I've always found this discussion on timezone mismatch for both (Peninsular) Malaysia and Singapore, that is, being GMT+8 instead of our supposed GMT+7 or GMT+7.30, very interesting lol.
Eastern Malaysia (Borneo), ofc, already have it right at GMT+8 - and supposedly, that single hour daily makes a huge difference in terms of 'quality of life' for those who are lucky to be born/stationed there.
I honestly don't care either way, time is 'fiction' after all 
, but I wonder just how feasible it is to even change it, should we want to - and if it's worth the trouble. Or maybe a fucked up 'solution' would be to keep the GMT+8 timing but enforce a GMT+7 lifestyle lmao, for example, have schools start at 8.30am GMT+8 (7.30am GMT+7) instead of 7.30am GMT+8 (6.30am GMT+7).

od večera mám na sebe nikotínovú náplasť.. neviem či je ten správny čas ale za pokus to stojí #dobréRáno
všetky nikotinové výrobky ktoré som mal doma a nepoužíval (ako liquidy, iqos, iné liquidy, e-cigarety, rôzne nástavce atď) podotýkam nepoužíval mali hodnotu ~80€ a to podľa mňa nie je normálne

Apparently, it's possible for some people to wake up feeling refreshed. I wonder what that's like.
New fact: RCS on iPhone isn't even E2E. I didn't even know there was an unencrypted RCS version. What a world.
it's complicated :(
Up until a couple months ago there wasn't even such a thing as encrypted RCS. What Google's been doing for several years now is having Google Messages do its own encryption that had nothing to do with RCS, but then sending the encrypted text over the RCS connection.
Then when Apple was forced (by China) to add support for RCS, they said they'd only support exactly what was in the RCS spec, so no encryption. Subsequently the RCS people have added TLS encryption to the spec and Google has slowly begun rolling out it in Google Messages, but Apple has not yet implemented the new encrypted version, despite participating in its specification process.

> Carriers are incompetent with this sort of interoperability and they gave up on running their own RCS servers to let Google do it through something called Google Jibe
Oh good so all RCS text messaging across carriers has a single point of failure now: Google

Another notable feature merged in the GNOME Calendar live coding session today: the ability to export an entire calendar as an .ics file.
This was originally added to the wishlist 10 years ago: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-c…
Thanks to @FineFindus's dedication towards implementing this (alongside the individual event .ics export feature) this year, you will be able to use this feature in #GNOME 50 (or the nightly flatpak version of Calendar today): gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-c…

Today I am stepping down from my role as the CEO of #Mastodon. Though this has been in the works for a while, I can't say I've fully processed how I feel about it. There is a bittersweet part to it, and I think I will miss it, but it also felt necessary. It feels like a goodbye, but it isn't—I intend to stay on and continue to advise the new leadership and contribute, because Mastodon—and the fediverse—is one of the very few beacons of hope for a better web.

Buried in this nicely-detailed RCA is a pretty damning fact:
Cloudflare left .unwrap() in mission-critical Rust code.
For non-Rustaceans, .unwrap() handles a type called Result that can either be Ok with a value, or an Err with an Error. The whole point is to gracefully handle errors and not let panics make it to production code.
I use .unwrap() sometimes! Usually when there's a logical guarantee that the result can never be an error. But I make sure to purge it from critical processes for exactly this reason.

Decided with the direction that @freedomscientific is taking JAWS that it's time for me to cancel my home annual subscription and switch over to @NVAccess as my screen reader on my personal machine. NVDA does what I need on it (web surfing, email, writing, and some coding) fine, so I figure why not. And I can always pick the subscription back up if I really need it for something.
I was going to say to press NVDA+spacebar to toggle between browse and focus mode. Was that the way you found?

ooh that game is fun, once you configure the settings right for accessibility like raising volumes on opponent positional and fighting cues, it's really playable. Problem is, still haven't gotten through more than 2-3 fights in tutorial, so I'll fight you if I ever get through it and maybe some battles after LOL
@Tamasg I'm talking about the original arcade versions of Mortal Kombat! There is an app called Fightcade that will let you match people to play online via an emulator. Tried it out last night and it seems decently accessible! The games are mono, but, that's the game, nothing to be done there.
@Tamasg Getting the ROMs are technically illegal though unless you own a copy already. Not exactly hard to acquire, but not easy, either.
