  • You probably can't trust your password manager if it's compromised

    Jump

  • Since the summary doesn't say which three popular password managers:

    As one of the most popular alternatives to Apple and Google's own password managers, which together dominate the market, the researchers found Bitwarden was most susceptible to attacks, with 12 working against the open-source product. Seven distinct attacks worked against LastPass, and six succeeded in Dashlane.

  • Benj Edwards, one of the authors of the offending article, has posted an explanation, taking the blame and clearing his co-author.

  • Benj Edwards handles most of their AI coverage. I wouldn't take his use of AI as a sign of what the rest of the staff is doing.

  • Good news (from December):

    “Absolutely,” [Bryan] Fuller told The Mary Sue recently about wanting to revisit Pushing Daisies. “We have a season three pitch, and the entire cast wants to come back, and we’re hoping we get to return to them. We just have to find somebody who wants to make it.”

  • Oh, good: Discord's age verification rollout has ties to Palantir co-founder and panopticon architect Peter Thiel

    Jump

  • The Palantir connection isn't the only bad bit here:

    Sure enough, Discord's support article describing its age verification process now features a disclaimer informing UK users that they "may be part of an experiment where your information will be processed by an age-assurance vendor, Persona." And while Discord had previously insisted that facial age verification recordings would only be stored and processed locally, the notice about Persona says that "the information you submit will be temporarily stored for up to 7 days, then deleted."

    They tried so hard to convince people the verification would be safe, and they're already experimenting with making it less safe.

  • Benj and Kyle were the authors of the article; Dan's name wasn't on it.

  • Why Are Senate Democrats Still Voting to Confirm Trump’s Judicial Nominees?

    Jump

  • I don't see how appointing judges who'll rule that Trump didn't break the law helps anything.

  • Nominees for the job require Senate approval, so technically they could try to make Trump put up someone good. Bondi was nominated when it turned out the Senate wasn't likely to approve Trump's first pick, Matt Gaetz.

  • Pretty sure ICE agents see it as they get to shoot rubber bullets and throw tear gas at people protesting racism. They aren't being forced to do it, they're being given permission.

  • Governors won’t hold Trump meeting after only Republicans invited

    Jump

  • NGA’s mission is to represent all 55 governors

    For anyone else wondering what's represented beyond the 50 states, the NGA's Governors page includes the governors of American Somoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.

  • TV Execs Warn FCC: NextGen TV DRM Could Turn Free TV Into Gambling and Pay-TV Platforms

    Jump

  • I expect that not only will the current FCC decline to do anything about this, the complaint may have given Trump a new business idea.

  • Origami Linux Introduces an Immutable OS Built Around COSMIC

    Jump

  • However, the only reason I can see for using it over Fedora Silverblue is that Origami ships with a well-configured, ready-to-use COSMIC Desktop out of the box, rather than GNOME.

    The author doesn't seem to be aware of Fedora COSMIC Atomic. That seems like a better reference point.

  • I thought he was a US Senator representing New York State. Is New York so expensive he needed a second job?

  • Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney supports the $900 million lawsuit against Valve, arguing Steam is "the only major store still holding onto payment ties and 30% junk fee"

    Jump

  • However, Epic Game Store only actually exists on Windows, and it’s on iOS in the EU.

    Your information seems to be outdated. On the EGS download page I get an "Install on Windows" link with text below it "Also available on Mac OS, Android, iPhone (EU only) and iPad (EU only)."
