🚨 - New report by Haaretz, Inside Story, Inside-IT and Amnesty International release the Intellexa Leaks. Which exposes Intellexa support staff had access through Teamviewer to customer deployments and confirms found IOC's in the past by civil society. 🧵👇
I've ordered food for dinner for myself and it was delivered with 4 forks. I'm emotionally crushed.
🥳 (also imagine your country hating your sexual identity so much that they are willing to spend time and money to almost endlessly argue about it in courts) but still 🥳
I like that one of the Amazon categories on the main page is "Same Day & Overnight". - I don't know what I want to buy but I want to get it the same day, or maybe overnight, yes!
It’s widely known (and, I think, pretty uncontroversial) that learning requires effort — specifically, if you don’t have to work at getting the knowledge, it won’t stick. Even if an LLM could be trusted to give you correct information 100% of the time, it would be an inferior method of learning it.
The Conversation U.S.@us.theconversation.com · 9mo agoRelying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.

Random q to all you London-based cybersecurity people: is there a space where I would be able to do free hardware hacking workshops for the community? :)
Massive shoutout out to whoever handles the Royal Canadian Air Force’s social media account. They responded to every single comment on their already very solid Trans Day of Remembrance post and they responded like this…
My favourite Polish fact. On the first day of spring kids skip school (sometimes even in a “sanctioned” way) to build a straw impersonation of winter, set it on fire and throw it into a river. Of course the older you get the more exciting reasons you have to skip school ;)

Cloudflare is down which means that downdetector - the service people use to check if things are down - is also down. Funny internet we are having now.
One of my silly hobbies is following the Alex Jones universe. When they did Posobiec on mainstream media (CNN) I immediately knew Fuentes will be next and then at some point Alex Jones will get his own show too.

Law enforcement: we need to break encryption to get access to Signal to protect the children!! Also law enforcement: for years couldn’t catch a pedophile sex trafficker who used email to coordinate all of his pedophile sex trafficking

I love how “the Pope says a fairly basic Catholic thing and it offends Catholics” has been a thing ever since I can remember
It’s like people who watch “South Park” and root for Cartman because they think he’s the hero of the series
Paul Haine@paulhaine.bsky.social · 11mo agoKemi Badenoch claiming Terry Pratchett as her favourite author is wild
13) This isn't news to me, but the manosphere complaint that "you can't compliment anyone anymore!" is bullshit. I compliment people constantly, all day, and get warm smiles and heartfelt thanks and watch people walk away in a better mood. The secret is not being a gross creep about it.
Every government who contributed to this leak probably will have this song on repeat in their press room youtu.be/9IG3zqvUqJY

Mike Stabile@mikestabile.bsky.social · 11mo agoDiscord confirms that government IDs used for age-verification were compromised in a hack with a vendor. Who could have predicted? Oh, right.
Discord confirms that government IDs used for age-verification were compromised in a hack with a vendor. Who could have predicted? Oh, right.
Discord users suffer the first high-profile age-verification hack – and it's unlikely to be the last
Critics of age verification laws warned this was inevitable

When a BBC reporter can do this, without privileged access to communications data, I find it hard to accept law enforcement's constant claim that they are "going dark" because of encrypted messaging. Encryption is not the main obstacle to effective law enforcement. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

“We have to be inclusive of racists otherwise they may not vote for us” is certainly an interesting take.

This is my regular reminder to everyone that jstor is open to the general public now; a free account there will give you access to 100 papers a year.
Marie Le Conte@youngvulgarian.marieleconte.com · 11mo agoregrettably if you try to point this out online you'll get yelled out by 79208 journalists going OH SO YOU WANT JOURNALISTS TO STARVE??? even if you're, say, a journalist yourself, and point out that while there are clearly no easy answers, the status quo isn't exactly working for society
