Wow. CVE database is in serious trouble, tomorrow.
The cyber industry as a whole is in trouble also really, it’s the elephant in the room - the collapse of the White House’s support for cybersecurity is obvious and pronounced due to widespread cutbacks.
The silence from literally every elected Republican politician about the destruction of our democracy is deafening.
The gulag in which Trump is imprisoning random migrants and plans to imprison US citizens has been known *for years* to be a site of torture and murder.
Just living a normal life one moment and the next you’re spending the rest of your life in a foreign torture and murder camp.
In case anyone was wondering about the cost/benefit calculation if ICE shows up at your door and you’re considering defending yourself.
In today's mastodon.social update, we're testing a few minor quality of life improvements to the web interface: Every list of accounts now has a shortcut to add or remove an account from lists; clicking a hashtag in a post now brings up a menu with a shortcut to browse posts in that hashtag specifically by the author, and a new featured tab on profiles to make featured hashtags and posts easier to find and navigate.
As we see Trump flagrantly violate due process of law, disappear immigrants, ignore a direct unanimous order from the Supreme Court, and ship people off to torture camps in other countries, let's all thank Merrick Garland for "sticking to norms" and not prosecuting Trump as the law required of him.

"It’s been a shameful abdication of leadership by Democratic elites... Schumer said that if Trump defied a Supreme Court order, then there’d be no choice but to “take extraordinary action.” Presumably he has been preparing for this possibility—not doing so would be almost inconceivable Democratic malpractice."

Toby Carvery, a British restaurant chain that serves carved meat, carved up a 500 year old oak tree on public land. People are pissed (and not in the British sense).

@GrimmReality@beige.partyAmerica has come full-circle on something I have not yet identified and I won't even say if it is good or bad. It simply is.
“The #DOGE team asked that their activities not be logged on the system and then appeared to try to cover their tracks…”
“The employees grew concerned that the NLRB's confidential data could be exposed, particularly after they started detecting suspicious log-in attempts from an IP address in #Russia”

@nixCraft@mastodon.socialThis isn't the flex you think it is; it's poor management for sure. You don't want engineers pushing changes while suffering from sleep deprivation psychosis.
The response to the predicted crash of the AI sector often is that "every crash leaves something useful behind" and that this time it will be models. I do not think that is the case.
AI models age like milk and the infrastructures left behind won't be ones that I see as helpful for democratic societies.

When you reach that age where you no longer eat well and exercise to try to look good, but now you have to do it so you don't feel like garbage and die young.

@IndyRichard@mastodon.scotIs there a clearer example of what is wrong with this World that those with vast wealth spending huge sums to go up in a space rocket to feel weight free for a few minutes?
Meanwhile people starve, die from preventable disease, have their lives destroyed in wars and even working people in the west struggle to get by.
I feel so angry.

If you want a scalable, international method for social publishing that is not subject to the whims of a US-based corporation (and therefore also the whims of America's authoritarian government), the fediverse really is the only viable option at this point.
#Europe would do well to invest in this fundamental infrastructure for its own sovereignty.
