Baroque Sunday is here, and this morning's piece is:

Dieterich Buxtehude (c. 1637-1707), "Sonata in F Major, Op. 2, No. 7" (1) BuxWV 265 (1696)

Performed by The Purcell Quartet (Robert Woolley, harpsichord; Richard Boothby, viola da gamba; Catherine Weiss, violin) at All Saints Church, East Finchley, London, Feb. 2011.

TeleMessage Signal,
used by at least one top Trump administration official to archive messages,
has already reportedly suffered breaches that illustrate concerning security flaws
and resulted in its parent company imposing a service pause last week pending investigation.

Now, according to detailed new findings from the journalist and security researcher Micah Lee,
TM Signal's archiving feature appears to fundamentally undermine Signal's flagship security guarantees,
sending messages between the app and a user's message archive without end-to-end encryption, thus making users' communications vulnerable wired.com/story/tm-signal-tele…

Netflix plans to launch generative AI-based midroll and pause ads for its ad-supported tier in 2026, raising questions about privacy and ad relevance alternativeto.net/news/2025/5/…

The image features a promotional graphic for Netflix Ads. On the left side, there is a bold red text that reads "Netflix Ads" against a black background. The text is large and prominent, with a gradient effect that transitions from a darker red at the top to a lighter red at the bottom. The right side of the image displays a grid of movie and TV show covers, arranged in a 3D perspective that gives the impression of depth. The covers are colorful and varied, showcasing different genres and styles. Some of the visible titles include "Django Unchained," "Skyscraper," and "The Sinner." The overall color scheme is a mix of red, black, and the vibrant colors of the show and movie covers. The image conveys a sense of variety and excitement, typical of a streaming service's content offerings.
