Somewhat concerning for anyone who uses Proton Mail: there is a flaw in the OpenPGP javascript library that they use (and are the maintainers for) which means that it's possible for spoofed authentication signatures to be created.

“We can’t live with #Covid forever! We have to get back to normal”
The obsession with “back to normal” is why we’re stuck living with COVID
People refused to #adapt. We’ve accepted repeat #infections as inevitable
#Cleanair, #masks in #healthcare & #paid time off could have given us a safe “new normal”

@cyberlyra hi there, I had a note to send you the details of the non profit I set up. We're called the Rebel Tech Alliance:
https://www.rebeltechalliance.org/
We're trying to undermine #surveillancecapitalism by helping people move away from #bigtech to #privacy alternatives.
@dustcircle Obviously didn't do enough research beforehand.
Came across this quote from Pete Thiel in 2010.
... we could never win an election on getting certain things because we were in such a small minority. But maybe you could actually unilaterally change the world without having to constantly convince people and beg people and plead with people who are never going to agree with you through a technological means. And this is where I think technology is this incredible alternative to politics.

Een molensteen. https://www.forbes.com/sites/jeremybogaisky/2025/05/14/qatar-747-trump/?ctpv=searchpage

Washington Post continues to ignore the facts and the truth #ElonMusk is stepping back from #DOGE They fail to state - DOGE is embedded in every major federal agency and has demolished all functioning #IT systems, stolen our personal #data, taken control of all management roles and forced out all expertise and in-house knowledge. The press bit onto the story as all #Musk all the time just as they are spewing All Trump all the time. This belies the truth #Project2025 #Destroying #democracy.
One of the results of gutting institutions, such as the CFPB: less protection for the American public.
