EU countries falsely accuse UN expert Francesca Albanese in ‘witch hunt’:
Francesca Albanese’s Doha speech was doctored to suggest she called Israel the “common enemy of humanity”.
She posted the full video, saying she meant the system shielding abuses from accountability.
France, joined by Germany and the Czech Republic, has urged her resignation, despite UN warnings of mounting attacks and disinformation against independent experts.

I saw yet another “CSS is a massively bloated mess” whine and I’m like. My dude. My brother in Chromium. It is trying as hard as it can to express the totality of visual presentation and layout design and typography and animation and digital interactivity and a few other things in a human-readable text format. It’s not bloated, it’s fantastically ambitious. Its reach is greater than most of us can hope to grasp. Put some *respect* on its *name*.

@arstechnica used a badly behaved chatbot to write their article about somebody else's badly behaved chatbot. At the very least, they signed off on bunch of fabricated quotes.
Ars Technica used to be so good.

"I was told you're a monster," the hero said.
"So they say," said the monster.
"But you're beautiful!"
"Thank you."
"Have you always been a monster?"
"Heh. I was a young maiden. But I did something forbidden."
"And became a monster?"
"Got named a monster."
"What did you do?"
"I hit back."

Did.... did we actually need a Bethesda pinball game?
@xgranadeCassandra Granade 🏳️⚧️ So thing is I think possibly the greatest software pinball game ever made was the one Sierra made to tie in with their little-loved Simcity-in-space clone "Outpost"
So I'm willing to give this one a chance.

When I said that your discord clone doesn’t need e2ee, I got a lot of comments along the lines of “ then how would I use it to organize the revolution!” The answer is: you don’t. If you have more users than can comfortably share a Signal chat and hence want to use discord or something like it, you cannot POSSIBLY be vetting all of them to a high standard of trust. Your logs ARE leaking. End-to-end encryption between more people than can fit around a dinner table is pointless.
This article confirms what I already assumed, that “open source [information sense, not code sense] intelligence gathering on social media” includes, for the US government, asking for links to join groups that may *feel* private. My own discord has literally like a thousand idlers. It would be very *lucky* if none of them were logging for potentially nefarious purposes! And I remind the active users of this occasionally.
