I wonder if I'm doing something wrong when someone on LinkedIn whose profile says "helping founders get revenue-positive, faster" wants to add me as a contact because they enjoyed my NodeConf EU talk about the history of server-side runtimes...

Hey @eff, @stevetex. Fam. If y'all can bitch and moan about ISPs, maybe the phones that almost every human on the planet carry deserve a minute of your time?

Letting @owa carry this is clown-car abdication of your mission(s).

The idea that Truth Social might not have a clue about security is disclosed as a risk in their IPO filings. But I feel the public, who Trump is trying to offload this stock to, should be better informed that this risk already seems to be realized ahead of tomorrow’s potential IPO.

Theoretically, anyone with internet access would have been able to put two and two together to exploit this vulnerability since its public disclosure in July of 2023. But I'm sure nobody, and certainly not state actors, would have an interest in exploiting the security of a social network owned and used by a presidential candidate (who now stands to profit billions of dollars from its sale to the public)

The big question, ofc, is where the heck are Mozilla and EFF? Why are they spending more time on net neutrality than browser choice?

This can happen with the consent of #Ukraine and taking into account international consequences, the Polish Foreign Ministry said.

The arrival of a Russian missile on the territory of Poland is a deliberate act, said a top Polish official.
