Just watched @kissane's XOXO talk & it left me choked up. You may know Erin from The Covid Tracking Project; now she's focusing on getting us to create social spaces on the internet that aren't soul-destroying. Yes, that involves the Fediverse.
I'm so grateful for all she's done, in both spheres.
Her XOXO talk, which I highly recommend:

One of her latest efforts, done with @darius, on Fediverse Governance:

WTAF do you think she's been doing, NYT?

The Trinity College library had been named after slave owner George Berkeley and now becomes the first building on the campus to be named after a woman, the poet Eavan Boland.
And then there’s Hal.
There was still time for HBO to make its Lanterns show all about Aaron Pierre’s John Stewart, but the network has just officially cast Kyle Chandler to co-star as Hal Jordan.
Under the new law, victims of ransomware attacks who make payments must report the payment to authorities.
The legislation will also introduce new minimum cyber security standards for all smart devices, such as watches, televisions, speakers and doorbells.
These standards will establish a baseline level of security for consumers. They will include secure default settings, unique device passwords, regular security updates and encryption of sensitive data.

BleepingComputer writes: The text "HIBP" refers to the Have I Been Pwned data breach notification service created by Troy Hunt, with whom threat actors commonly share stolen data to be added to the service.
Hunt told BleepingComputer that the threat actor shared the Internet Archive's authentication database three days ago and it is a 6.4GB SQL file named "ia_users.sql." The database contains authentication information for registered members, including their email addresses, screen names, password change timestamps, Bcrypt-hashed passwords, and other internal data.
Hunt says there are 31 million unique email addresses in the database, with many subscribed to the HIBP data breach notification service. The data will soon be added to HIBP, allowing users to enter their email and confirm if their data was exposed in this breach.

Why else would they have been so negative but for that.

in reply to Laffy • • •STILL bitter about not getting an interview, I see.
I hope she never gives them one in all her 8 years.
And I think we should stop sending NYT clicks--screenshots get the point across (and prevent them from hiding particularly badly worded ones that they "fix" later).

Meanwhile, Trump talks about immigrants eating dogs and cats and somehow that's just fine.

BronMason For Kamala 2024
in reply to Laffy • • •What they mean is Harris is only speaking with the voters directly when she is being interviewed by members of legacy media, so they can perform their self-appointed role of asking her the questions THEY imagine the voters most want to have answered.
They cannot do that if #Harris persists in her strategy of meeting voters where they are — on the entire spectrum of social media and watching entertaining talk shows. Therefore, she is not speaking directly to voters.
Are we clear?
