1. Washington Post CEO came from the Murdoch empire.

2. He has been implicated in the (still not fully unraveled) UK "phone hacking" scandal that exemplified the sleaziness of the Murdoch empire.

3. He told Post editor not to publish a story containing references to his alleged involvement.

4. She published the story.

5. She's gone.

BREAKING: Senate Republicans just voted to block the Right to Contraception Act, which would enshrine the right to contraceptive access nationally.

When people say, "They'll never take that away," They're WRONG!!!

No Rights are Safe with Republicans in Office.

We are going to end up with half a million low-orbit comsats turning the night sky into a streaky blur because everyone uses Starlink or similar for broadband because the telcos have allowed their terrestrial cable infrastructure to decay, in the interests of maximizing profit. And of course the satellite broadband will be slow and buggy because overloaded.

Hiring Karolina is the best thing you can do for your product and/or design today.

The care and attention she brings to her work will surpass your expectations and you likely haven’t seen anything like it before.

I have collaborated with her on JSConf- and CSSConf* AU and EU and everything has been better for her contributions.

tl;dr: I couldn’t speak more highly of Karolina. If the time zone situation is awkward for you, making it work will be worth it.

My Mum is very stressed at the moment so I'm taking her for a roast on Sunday.

FYI, if you support the #AudioPorn project on Patreon, some of that £ covers my time to produce/edit/record/commission/write the smut that you can hear FOR FREE on my site. Which also means a tiny bit of your £ will go towards buying my Mum a mushroom wellington and isn't that wholesome.

The same is true of all porn you pay for: #PayForYourPorn, we sometimes use it to treat our mums.

Stichwort #Covid-Impfung im Herbst:

Es sieht so aus, als gäbe es im Herbst zumindest in den USA einen upgedateten #Impfstoff gegen die Variante JN.1 und Verwandte.
Ein Beratergremium der FDA hat grad ne Empfehlung ausgesprochen, die Erwartung ist, dass die FDA dem folgt.
Zeitrahmen und Verfügbarkeit bei uns sind bisher unklar.

I'm still not ready to laugh at someone going to jail, but this gentleman never having had a driver's license, ever, is wild.

He seems to have significant difficulty navigating legal forms and executive function, and making judgement calls. I'm not going to speculate on why that might be in his case, but I've helped people in similar situations do the seemingly simple things needed to keep them out of jail.

His defender should have known about the bench warrant.

The first blog post on our work with @sovtechfund and the first Open Source projects we worked on in the past ~seven months is out now.

Read all about it: https://neighbourhood.ie/blog/2024/06/06/neighbourhoodie-and-the-sovereign-tech-fund

(There are some heavy hitting projects in the works that we can share yet, but being able to do this work is hugely fulfilling 🙏💖)

Cisco has rolled out patches for the Webex application to fix a bug that allowed unauthorized access to Webex meetings and metadata information.

The company says the bugs were exploited by security researchers at the end of May.

Cisco is notifying customers who had their data collected during the research.

Israel dropped 70,000 tons of bombs on Gaza Strip since last October, exceeding World War II bombings in Dresden, Hamburg, London combined, according to rights monitor.

(Please ignore misleading headline - it is not more than all ww2 bombs)

So Republicans and Democrats can vote almost unanimously on defense spending in the U.S. senate but when it comes to protecting access to contraception all of a sudden only two Republicans in the entire U.S. senate can find it within themselves to do so. (Both are female.)

Hot take: HTML is the worst thing to happen to email.

We want to keep global temperature rise below 1.5°C because we don’t want to live in a dangerous world.

Then we say we need up to 10 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) per year by 2050 because we’re not decarbonizing fast enough.

However, CDR is a limited resource, and we likely won’t be able to get to 10 billion tonnes a year.

If we don’t want to live in a dangerous world, the only parameter we can change is how quickly we decarbonize.

Orange Felon 34’s lies about immigration as the cause of violent crime in the U.S. is, surprise, surprise NOT TRUE AT ALL. @NBCNews analysis of some 2024 crime data reveals that cities received the most undocumented people have overall crime DROPPING. https://tinyurl.com/yck3hupm

The myth of “undocumented immigration” as the cause of increased crime: It is simply NOT TRUE that crime rises when people who are undocumented enter the United States. IN FACT, crime rates GO DOWN across the board, be it violent crime or any other crime. https://tinyurl.com/2n7fzacm

For those who aren’t aware, Microsoft have decided to bake essentially an infostealer into base Windows OS and enable by default.

From the Microsoft FAQ: “Note that Recall does not perform content moderation. It will not hide information such as passwords or financial account numbers."

Info is stored locally - but rather than something like Redline stealing your local browser password vault, now they can just steal the last 3 months of everything you’ve typed and viewed in one database.
