Politicians:
Terrified about citizens that might be sending private messages they cannot read on Signal -> Sudden panic about "protecting the children" π
Also politicians:
Grok AI Chatbot collects data and asks for nudes from a 12-year old -> AI is innovation! We should invest billions in taxpayers money in it! π°π°π°
Saying No and refusing to use unethical tools and platforms can be a powerful way to protest.
Do not minimize the power you have by refusing to participate.
GenAI and what it does to the brain.
Truly excellent "long read" article about genAI and what it does to those who come to rely on it. Well researched, with insightful quotes from thoughtful people.
Good science/tech journalism used to be like that, but on AI topics this has become rare. So much easier for the salaried writer of a mainstream paper just to follow the hype.
The author, Sophie McBain, is listed as a "freelance writer" for Guardian, Times and New Statesman. I am glad she's kept her free mind.

#curl 8.11.1 has been released. It includes a fix to #CVE_2024_11053 - a #vulnerability I discovered.
It is a logic flaw in the way curl parses .netrc file. In certain situations, the configured password can be sent to a incorrect host. Luckily the affected configurations should be quite rare and thus the situation is unlikely to occur often.
The issue has existed in the curl source code for almost twenty-five years.
