As a Jew I am far, FAR more alarmed by our institutions equating me and other Jews with the IDF, who are responsible for the murder of over 80,000 Palestinians, by dint of framing any critique against the IDF as ‘antisemitism.’ Linking all Jews to the IDF is *actual* fucking antisemitism.

And on it goes. Israeli politicians using UK media to stoke up outrage around Bob Vylan & Kneecap must be laughing their heads off at how easy it all is. I think this brings the Palestinian death toll *since the Glastonbury performance* in to triple figures. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Odd decision by BBC news at 6 to run the broadcasting of protests about the IDF at Glastonbury, above the IDF killing journalists in Gaza by targeting a seaside café where journalists are known to work. @glastonburyfestivals.co.uk #bbc

There were talks at BSides Exeter on both hacking the iPod Nano, & hacking Cisco phones such as those in the Oval Office, it says a lot about our failure to set norms in computer security that the iPods took months, whereas the phones revealed their built-in snooping feature in a few days.

I’m not shy about my disdain for employee “productivity” monitoring tools or the security risks they pose, so feeling a bit vindicated right now. Remember: if a third party can see your screen, how do you know someone can’t spy on the third party?

He's right about login code UI, he's right about not using login codes, he is right that passkey UX is terrible. Shun shared secrets for MFA, or authentication in general. But never forget any extra factors add security.

If they told everyone would public pressure mean the telecoms companies have to up security to the point they can actually evict these hackers from their network?

Pneumonia is one of the most common causes of death among older people, especially in winter. Now we have vaccines against several pathogens that cause it. That's great! And now pneumococcal pneumonia vaccines are recommended for anyone age 50 or older. www.scientificamerican.com/article/new-...

I always regret that a female student & fellow tuttee at University didn't feel confident to complain about our tutor to me immediately he revealed the kind of man he was when it was just her in tutorials. He got moved out swiftly but I suspect they just moved the problem elsewhere.

'Brainrot' isn't a new word... It has been used as a pejorative for new media consumption habits as far back as 1866... Our new post: newsletter.pessimistsarchive.org/p/the-1800s-... cc @jeffjarvis.bsky.social

All the shop's displays were showing this error. The IP address suggests it is a connectivity issue not the subscription. As IT auditor: risk of IP address leakage. As business person: wasted marketing opportunity on error page. As environmentalist, just switch it all off when shut.

It's crucial to hear and share the stories of those most deeply impacted by the UK's unjust, inhumane, and unpopular assisted dying laws. Their voices deserve to be at the heart of the conversation. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

The CISA report saying most vulns were initially exploited as zero days is good news. We may be getting better at updating. Is "initially" doing some heavy lifting? One of these vendors shipped known vulnerable Java libraries resulting in vulns despite being in the software tooling business ffs.

so I've being sitting in a wire on a PUBLIC network where real people have connected! I know shocking right! and I have been looking at HSTS ...... not just that but I've been considering attack paths... Basically for normies... I'm not hacking their Facebook this way. I would need to phish them

Snow this morning east of Exeter was moist and as a result the weight of snow on trees has caused a lot of tree damage.

Both the UK and EU are putting in place measures to protect victims of Authorised Push Payment fraud. This time last year, the UK had the stronger proposals, but now they have switched as the EU expands protections and the UK waters them down 🧵
