This is a refreshingly good look at why extensions with both full privileged access and dynamic script + style execution are a really bad idea, greatly weakening the CSP on every site:

How insecure is Avast Secure Browser?

Injecting arbitrary scripts and styles ought to require an extra permission and be selectively allowed on a per-site basis.

In an astonishing find, scientists have uncovered active termite mounds in South Africa that are 34,000 years old, making them the oldest ever discovered. These ancient mounds provide valuable insights into termite behaviour and ecosystem roles over millennia, revealing a remarkable continuity of termite activity through prehistoric times.

We need to talk about the wild racism being targeted at Usha Vance. She's arguably been one of the most accomplished lawyers advancing MAGA extremism—yet all that pales in comparison to her skin color.

This is who the MAGA party has always been. Documenting receipts because legacy media continues to ignore it.

On Monday, Raja Koduri joined @bcantrill and me to answer a question sent in from a listener: what's are the differences between a CPU, GPU, FPGA, and ASIC? And after a walk through history of hardware, software, their intersection and relevant companies, we ... almost answered it!

My first time doing #MusicWomenWednesday, where to even start!

I'm going to go with the delightful Kelly Lee Owens, a Welsh producer, songwriter and performer who makes electronic music with beautiful songs. If you like this one I can highly recommend all of her work (she's great live too if you get the chance to see her).

It's amazing how everything in the 1950s was crisp and clear and sharp, and it all turned to mud in the 60s & 70s. Photography had a dark age, and it was during my youth.

There are incredible parallels between the failure modes of smart home technology and modern web site architecture:
