life lessons

Learn something new. It can be as simple as a new way to make a paper hat.

Some lessons from trying to thwart #ICE in #Minneapolis for people in other cities:

1. Go out and meet your neighbors now. The threat of ICE coming is a great excuse and truly the growing solidarity is the best thing to come of all this.

Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve is one of the best places to see birds in Southern California and maybe anywhere. The Grear blue herons are one of my favorite things to see. They’re rarely very active most of the year, but when it’s time to nest, it’s not uncommon to see these giants soaring through the air carrying ridiculous sticks and branches.

@b0rk how about something along the lines of "browser injection security" or "javascript security" (i guess also too broad) or so? i don't know if anyone uses such terms, never thought about it before that way. but CSRF, CORS, XSS, and CSP all have to do with potential injection of javascript code where it should not be executed.

As part of their coursework, students at UC Berkeley are contributing edits to Wikipedia about “LGBTQ+ history, with an emphasis on queer and trans people of color”. They’ve added 300,000+ edits and 3,000+ citations. https://www.them.us/story/berkeley-college-students-wikipedia-lgbtq-history-edits

The Swedish Hostelling Association no longer sends you a membership card. Instead you're encouraged to install a 12 megabyte smartphone app. All it does is download and display your membership data. 🙄

@b0rk http security features?

i'm thinking about writing a zine reference for CORS, XSS, CSP, CSRF, etc because all the acronyms feel so impossible to remember and it's so useful to know the basics

but.. what is all that stuff _called_? "web security" and "browser security" both feel way too broad. So far I've just been saying "you know, CSRF and CORS and XSS and stuff" to people

Hallo #Bonn !

I feel bad for my customer today given the Notepad++ news. I would think it would trigger a huge internal audit, including digital forensics of each and every issued system running Windows--an amount that would boggle the mind if one were to actually know the number (which I don't.)

The irony of this photo — A border patrol 'agent' hiding behind a face covering & hat while scanning a commuter's face on the road.

I am taking the time to post this entire article to highlight how #DHS / #ICE uses emerging, #privacy -breeching tech to identify & target regular people– potentially undocumented individuals AND #US citizens exercising their 1st Amendment right to express their grievances about such behavior as they observe & record it.
