Term limits aren’t enough. Expand the Supreme Court. https://thehill.com/opinion/judiciary/4808114-biden-proposal-supreme-court-reform/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

Back before nation states and the rule of law there was a reason that cities usually had a very large wall around them.

Pretty much every infosec person i know has given up reporting phishing sites because 99% of them are behind CloudFlare / CloudFlare domains. CloudFlare takes weeks to respond, will leak your info to the abusers and sometimes not even do anything.

@ceejbot Time to bring "microfortnights" back into common use. They sound so much more elegant than "seconds" and they're a bit longer as a bonus.

You'd think by now they would have identified all the images with motorcycles. I feel no need to continue to process them for our digital overlords.
@realTuckFrumper What makes them think it was an IDF failure and not deliberate?
@realTuckFrumper Now, let's see. Aged Don J. wants you to put him in charge of the most powerful nation on the planet but he is afraid of appearing in a debate with a woman.

EFF's "privacy badger" extension today expanded its effect on the Google "Ad Sandbox" to disable not just Topics (the worst of Ad Sandbox's features so far) but also the other two features— including "Ad Measurement", a feature that Apple copied a couple years back and Firefox adopted as an "experiment" this month.

The EFF here succinctly argues why all of these ad features should not be running on your computer:

@soatok literally the first professional pentesting engagement I did ended up with me finding a signature-spoofing bug in GnuPG; allowed causing `gpg --verify` to exit with status 0
gnupg devs refused to call it a security bug, because you're actually supposed to parse the statusfd output and ignore the exit status (which was mentioned approximately nowhere, iirc, in the documentation)
loads of embedded systems and other things that use gpg to verify signatures just check the exit status (have fun parsing statusfd in a shell script!) but apparently they're all just holding it wrong
@washingtonpost Israel seems to specialize in Targeted Killings and Disproportionate Response. Do not Anger Happy Fun Ball?
@dangillmor @ProPublica Who owns the media, baby?
@realTuckFrumper Gee! And aged Don J. would call them 'loosers', which just mirrors his own life of failure.

I'm starting a new delivery service for pecans, almonds, macadamias, pistachios, and cashews. I'm calling it "Nuts to You!"

Governments always want to censor and surveil the internet and the only thing that ever changes is the boogeyman they point to as justification for their power grab.
