Signal recently released another grand jury subpoena which, as always, basically had nothing interesting to turn over in response. For the requested phone numbers they could only provide the account creation timestamp. https://signal.org/bigbrother/district-of-columbia/

« Le CIO va chercher à petits pas à réintégrer la Russie pour les JO de Donald Trump »

Pour un casque qui rendait hommage à ses coéquipiers tués lors de la guerre en Ukraine, un athlète ukrainien a été disqualifié des Jeux olympiques de Milan-Cortina. Le chercheur Lukas Aubin revient sur cet incident et, plus largement, sur la réintégration progressive de la Russie dans les arènes du sport mondial.

Hey, #Ring doorbell users... see below.

For anyone you know who's still using Facebook, Insta, Whatsapp, or Threads...

My 42nd birthday is on Tuesday.

I am struggling to survive now because I am a freelance cybersecurity researcher/writer, and I also took a principled anti Gen AI stance that cost me my professor job.

This will be the second month that I can't pay rent.

I beg of you, please donate or if you can't donate, share.

A "like" isn't signal boosting. A share is.

Please don't just "like" this post, this isn't Twitter/X.

We’re going to pay this cost for a very, very long time, because we’ve already put the heat in the ocean.”"

With agentic AI embedded at the OS level, databases storing entire digital lives accessible to malware, tasks whose reliability quickly breaks down at each step, and being opted-in without consent, @signalapp leadership, @Mer__edith and Udbhav Tiwari, are sounding the alarm for the industry to pull back until threats can be mitigated.

Since Ryanair now requires you to use their app to get a boarding pass or stand in line at the counter I got fed up with their BS.
I made an app that allows you to get the Google Wallet link and Apple Wallet pkpass (that you can also add to Android wallet apps) without their shitty app (online check-in still has to be done on the Ryanair website, I might make a tool that does that at some point as well).

Feel free to try it at https://ryanair.anze.dev.
