RE: https://mstdn.social/@jschauma/116251321191395352 This thought has entered my head very frequently of late.

Did I say Mastodon - Fediverse, on this “where did you hear about this survey?” Question? Yes I did!! Hey Canadians! Go do the headlight survey at Transport Canada! […] [Original post on mstdn.chrisalemany.ca]

RE: https://flipboard.com/@cbcnews/ottawa-dpigmqdrz/-/a-D_0zMFpaTUyhkHd-k3EisA%3Aa%3A107108217-%2F0 Mandatory tracking being proposed. Even with guard rails, I'd rather not have that data be collected. Also, can't they determine our locations already based on which cell towers you're connected […]

Of all the Microsoft things I use that have co-pilot, the one thing that doesn't? Microsoft Flight Simulator. Go figure.

Don’t think I’ve ever seen a difference where #canada and #usa were polar opposites before.

I'm on a roadtrip in 'Murica today. Just turned on the news. The news? Gasoline might be more expensive, because war. Not the news? War crimes committed sinking an unarmed Iranian ship. This sums up our situation. #uspol

RE: https://mastodon.hongkongers.net/@glnews_mirror/116168267860146275 Are people really this bad at managing clocks? I deal with 7 time zones every day for work and somehow I manage to still attend all of my meetings. If it is too early or "dark" I move it to when it is light. People […]

Ah, nice! A local teacher providing lessons on how to make HTTP requests from the command line! 😃 Er, hmm…maybe that's not it actually. Sorry @bagder, I think I got too excited there for a minute! 😅

Just went to the grocery in Yaletown, Vancouver, Canada and there are a large number (1000s?) celebrating Iran. I hope my instinct that this is a bit premature is incorrect.

If these media mergers keep going through, September 19th is going to become known as International Talk Like a Streamer day.

RE: https://infosec.exchange/@timcappalli/116143514734294692 I would really hate to see passkeys lose momentum because of short-sighted implementations that cause users to dislike and lose trust in secure authentication. Listen to tim. Tim has a good point. #Passkeys #infosec

The 2026 Sophos Active Adversary Report is out — and despite the hype, we saw no AI-driven sea change in the threat landscape, based on the 600+ IR and MDR cases that made up our dataset. Attackers mostly stuck with what already works. Abuse of legitimate tools remained consistent, as did the […]

It's that time of year again... The 2026 Sophos Active Adversary report from @johnshier and team is out! https://www.sophos.com/en-us/blog/2026-sophos-active-adversary-report Whats hot? Logging in, not breaking in. Whats not? AI. One case out of 661 had clear evidence of AI abuse. #infosec

A person caught excessively speeding and facing basically zero consequences kept speeding? "Go figure" indeed! (And why is 90 in a 50 not excessive??) This is what we mean when we say road violence is predictable and preventable.

Just finished (a year later than planned...) @Noupside @noupside.bsky.social excellent book Invisible Rulers. For anyone looking to understand how our modern media functions (and dysfunctions) this is an indispensable read. It is clear that things are now even worse than when the book was […]

Almost 5 weeks after it was recorded, here is my piece on CBC about Chinese EVs in Canada and why our privacy concerns shouldn't be about China, but how our cars are spying on us. https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/video/9.7089550

Shame on Apple for not allowing better multi-factor authentication than a simple text message. I do not own or use Apple devices, yet I require an Apple account, primarily for accessing their podcast service. They only support passkeys from Apple devices and security tools? That isn't […]

I see a lot of reports out there explaining or surveying the role and thoughts of CISOs, but none aimed at arming CISOs with the information they need around threats, emerging techniques, policy shifts, etc. Does anyone know of any reports like this?

Oh my! I could be on the cover of Visionary Vogues!?!? I didn't even know I vogued.

Literally every PWHL team is playing tonight, going into the Olympics pause (Said pause is happening because soooooo many of the players are representing their countries _in_ the Olympics, so.) #pwhl #hockey #olympics

When your DDoS tool is so bad people leave negative reviews on TrustPilot.

I was asked by a journalist to answer a bunch of supply chain security questions today and I have to say, I am just a bit exasperated at this point. Nothing wrong with the questions, but the expectation that there is a template for how you assess risk for your business or a protocol you need to […]

@chetwisniewski @meduza_en In a bold move, Russian state media tries a “report the news factually” strategy.

RE: https://masto.ai/@meduza_en/115945545503793016 Is this the first time I have ever agreed with the Kremlin?

OMG! No one told me there was a war on protein? Does that make me guilty of war crimes!?

For my Canadian followers, I did a piece today with CBC for "The National" discussing the potential privacy and cybersecurity risks of the importation of EVs from China resulting from PM Carney's recent trip. Don't know when it will air, but stay tuned!

Pro Tip: If you are spamming me about selling me a customer support platform, perhaps you don't want to reference the list of tech giants using that platform that have provided me with terrible support.

Is it just me or are these generative AI advertisements bizarrely offensive and off the mark? Remember the Apple ad destroying all the musical instruments? More than creepy for a company catering to artists. Just saw an ad for Google Gemini where the family asks it to interpret the confusing […]

If you like America going to war for oil, you're going to LOVE America going to war in the Middle East. What could possibly go wrong?

Having an oil industry makes you a target of United States imperialism. Ditching fossil fuels is a national security and sovereignty imperative.
