The rise of Mastodon has made me so much more aware of government services requiring us to use private companies’ systems to communicate with them and access services.

Sitting on a Dutch train just now I was shown on a screen “feeling unsafe in the train? Contact us via WhatsApp”.

What if I don’t use WhatsApp? (I do, but I wish I didn’t have to) I’m forced to share my data with Meta to use it.

Public systems should not require use of private services.

• An "Inari Parfait", from the Fushimi Inari-taisha shrine in Kyōtō. In the picture is also a slip of paper describing the parfait: Fushimi Inari Taisha shrine is dedicated to the god of a bountiful harvest. "Inari Parfait" is mainly made from rice. The slip of paper also describes the various components of the parfait, listed here from top to bottom: - "Rice biscuit" (featuring a picture of two kitsune) - "Dry sweets (rice flour)". Made to look like torii, sitting on top of the matcha ice cream. - "Matcha ice cream is made to look like Mt. Inari" - "Our store's original unbaked sweet, named “Cha no Mi”. The sweet Matcha bean paste is wrapped in agar and decorated with gold foil" - "Sweet beans" - "Rice puff" - "Matcha soft and agar" (remote)

5. Pearl (2022). This was fun but I would've liked it even more if it had leaned into horror comedy and period-accurate detail. The opening scene leading up to the title was great but it was more appropriate to a midcentury melodrama. I think you could easily adapt it and her fantasy sequences to 1910s genres like "Little Tramp"-type silent comedy antics or pompous DW Griffith historical epics

Attachments:

Holy hell. This was inevitable.

Hackers, allegedly Chinese, got into the federally mandated surveillance backdoors of Verizon and AT&T's networks, snooping on everything.

The mandated backdoors were first required on phone systems in 1994 by the CALEA law, then controversially extended to broadband by the FCC in '04.

That's right folks. Broadband is so important that it must have backdoors for cops, but not important enough for the FCC to require consumer protections

Can the internet help here?

I read this article with great interest about professor Rebecca Roach's inability to find the woman who was Joseph Weizenbaum's secretary at MIT in the 1960s in the department of electrical engineering when he developed the pioneering AI chatbot, ELIZA.

The secretary played an important role, but after an extensive archive and records search, Roach still couldn't find her name.

I feel like this is an "internet, do you thing" problem.

Apparently, Matt is weaponizing a CVE without notifying WP Engine so they can fix the issue before making the CVE to the public, just to use it as an excuse to get people's sites that can get their sites hacked since it’s used on many WordPress sites.

No wonder Matt created that tweet asking for ACF alternatives, as he intended to weaponize this against WP Engine. Of course, this behavior can get him into more legal trouble.

This behavior is dangerous as if he does the same to another company that makes popular WordPress plugins, he can do the same.

Matt Mullenweg needs to go, NOW! He is destroying WordPress.

Not to mention, WP Engine can't push updates, since Matt banned their accounts.
