  • Banned Mullvad VPN TV ad criticizing United Kingdom escalating censorship and mass surveillance “And Then?”

    Jump

  • Is this actually targeted at the UK?

    It's a super American ad. Everyone sounds American, we don't really have drive thru's like this etc.

    In terms of message it's spot on for both the UK and US though. Especially prescient given the Flock stuff going on in the US right now.

    EDIT: From the article, it sounds like this has been used in a few places, but the UK is the only one that has banned it. The reasoning behind the ban is laughable.

    It looks like there's a longer version available on the site, but it's broken for me.

  • Labour aren't left wing.

    Jump

  • If you are speaking about the UK's Labour party, in it's current form I would describe it as further left than the US democrats, but further right than the actual left wing parties like the Greens, Your Party and Bernie Sanders (and any other tiny socialist groups).

    To me, that means center-right generally. Fully right on certain issues such as immigrants and trans rights.

    Before Kier Starmer and Labour Together, I think they were center-left. Many people within the party are still trying to do good things and vote against Labour's worst policies.

    The reason I hate Labour even more than the Conservatives is at least with the Conservatives you knew what you were getting. Here it feels like betrayal.

  • Washington Post layoffs disproportionately affected union members of color, preliminary Guild data shows

    Jump

  • I asked the Guild for the numbers behind these percentages. According to the Guild, 144 (37%) members who identify as white, 23 (50%) who identify as Hispanic or Latino, 44 (45%) who identify as Black, 33 (43%) who identify as Asian, and 14 (5%) who identify as multiracial were laid off. Twenty-two (8%) union members who were laid off didn’t disclose their races. (The Washington Post has a separate Tech Workers Guild, not included in these numbers.)

    These percentages threw me off at first, but I think they mean the percentages of the total staff of that race at the company, not the percentages of those laid off.

  • Hacked Printer Rule

  • Why are ports being forwarded on a printer to the external internet?!

  • “Not Ready for Prime Time.” A Federal Tool to Check Voter Citizenship Keeps Making Mistakes: SAVE tool keeps mistakenly flagging voters as noncitizens

    Jump

  • Given that only 22 noncitizens over the course of like 10 years (can't remember the exact statistic) tried to vote, the way to get the best accuracy would be to just hard code the answer to "yes, they can vote". Then you get over 99.99% accuracy.

    Jump

  • I've gone through the list a bit and out of the most popular ones that spied on you, most were adblocks, coupon finders or AI Chatbots.

    Some notable extensions:

    • Stylish. A theming extension, I used to use this back in the day!
    • Smarty. Some sort of coupon code thing like Honey
    • Video Ad Blocker Plus for YouTube™
    • Video Downloader PLUS
    • Karma - Another coupon thing
    • Audio editor online Audacity. Some sort of web-based Audacity clone?
    • GIMP online - Same sort of thing as above with GIMP
    • Ground News Bias Checker - To be fair it probably makes sense this one sends the URL you are visiting, as it's purpose is to look up the bias of the publication you are looking at.

    Worth a read regardless.

  • Great work to the investigators here. I'm going to comb through this list a little. See what things stand out.

  • A remote code execution vulnerability has been found in Microslop Notepad

    Jump

  • The point is that I've seen several comments on other posts about this vulnerability, and in the body of this one, saying that Notepad is bloated and terrible now.

    I'm offering a counterpoint that this is not necessarily bloat. It's debatable that this is the right tool to have this feature, but it can be a useful feature.

    I'm fine with Markdown support, but I wish MS got the message about Copilot being unwanted. Not sure if they've added it to Notepad or not at this stage, but given all the places they've crammed it into I wouldn't be surprised.

  • A remote code execution vulnerability has been found in Microslop Notepad

    Jump

  • To be fair, markdown is a very cool standard.

    While I don't know if it really makes sense for Notepad to be anything other than a plain-text editor, there are better tools for that, supporting markdown is kind of nice.

    This means you have support for it on fresh Windows installs, which could be good for virtual machines. That said, Markdown is intrinsically pretty readable without formatting anyway.

    It's a shame they flubbed the implementation though...

    Wasn't sure if it was some sort of typo.
