@j12t Unfortunately, that means that only the propaganda from the regime is available to read. We need to have courage to speak out. I wish I had more of that.

@PogoWasRight My favorite example of non-usable TOS is the bicycle kiosks in DC. 103 screenfuls of text you were expected to read on a tiny LCD screen while standing on the street. And that was 13 years ago; itโ€™s probably longer now! altmode.org/2012/03/14/a-quick

Tesla sales in all of Europe dropped by 52.6% in April, according to ACEA - European Automobile Manufacturers' Association.

One can only wonder why.

Did I mention that the data broker industry must be destroyed?

@evacide I have long suspected that this is how the data broker industry has avoided regulation.

@tychotithonus Apparently DOGE trimmed the JSON input.

This is absolutely horrifying. I wouldn't be surprised if this was happening in North Korea, but this is the United States of America. propublica.org/article/rumeysa

@briankrebs @tychotithonus @thorsheim Itโ€™s the recipientโ€™s DNS (and perhaps that of their mail provider, if a different domain) that is important here. No need for the sender to change their DNS, other than making sure their resolvers can verify DNSSEC properly and convey that to the mail agent.

@briankrebs @tychotithonus @thorsheim Itโ€™s not mutual TLS, but have a look at REQUIRETLS (RFC 8689) rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8689.html or perhaps MTA-STS (RFC 8461)

@thorsheim @briankrebs even with DNSSEC and RPKI, email is still vulnerable because of the opportunistic nature of email TLS.

Deleted my 23andMe account due to their bankruptcy, which makes me sad because I discovered relatives I didnโ€™t know through them, and I have very few relatives.

Related: I have a patch with US and Canadian flags that I was going to sew onto my backpack, but I donโ€™t want anyone to think Iโ€™m advocating Canada to be the 51st state. So maybe I should sew on just the Canadian flag.

Didnโ€™t want anyone to think I advocate merging the two flags on my profile name. So I fixed it.
