Always good when your EDR provider gets hit by a ransomware group.

@chrisphin This makes me want Aerial-style screensaver video.

@farah @Mrfunkedude Some Americans near the southern border are already buying them from Mexico. They'll be in Canada soon, just 40 miles away from me. Guessing we'll see more than a few driving around Michigan. https://www.wsj.com/business/autos/chinese-cars-byd-geely-u-s-mexico-be0dea28?st=7DZbde&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink

@jillbinder Rock on! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

"They want from #Ukraine a permit to hold their parade, so that they can go out onto the square safely for one hour once a year, and then go on killing our people and waging war...

We have also received messages from some states close to #Russia, saying that their representatives plan to be in #Moscow. An odd desire in these days. We do not recommend it"

I love #Zelensky

I've never heard earned wealth phrased this way, but she's right about it.

The wildest thing about the release of new files on UFOs is that Donald Trump was mentioned in the Epstein files over 38,000 times.

@NunavutBirder any bears awake yet?

@craignicol is it rolling elections inside in each local council (some of their seats are up), or is it rolling in the sense that only some councils have elections?

TGIFF! Thank God It's FUCKING Friday!

Ich habe die Empfehlungsecke »Messenger« überarbeitet und klar nach Zielgruppen getrennt:

Einsteiger / WhatsApp-Wechselwillige:
Signal bleibt meist der realistischste erste Schritt, weil Bedienung, Reichweite und Alltagstauglichkeit passen.

Datenschutzbewusste Kleingruppen:
Threema ist stark bei Datenschutz und googlefreier Nutzung, wegen geringer Verbreitung aber nur eingeschränkt als Wechsel-Empfehlung geeignet.

Fortgeschrittene / Selbsthoster:
XMPP und Matrix für mehr Autonomie und föderierte Infrastruktur.

Profis / Aktivisten / Journalisten:
Briar für Risikolagen, in denen Sicherheit, Anonymität und Zensurresistenz wichtiger sind als Komfort.
