Ars Technica: Windows RDP lets you log in using revoked passwords. Microsoft is OK with that.

Carl Sagan quote I like: "One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back."

Reddit is considering legal action after a group of researchers had AI bots pose as real people without users’ knowledge. The researchers say they will no longer publish their study.

Futuristic Robert [KJ5ELX] So, Cloudflare analyzed passwords people are using to log in to sites they protect and discovered lots of re-use.
Let me put the important words in uppercase.

Cory DoctorowI'm really trying to make sense of the new @mozillaofficial privacy policy.
Here's where I'm getting tripped up:
> Mozilla doesn’t sell data about you (in the way that most people think about ‘selling data’)
OK, sure. But if Moz isn't "selling my data in the way that most people think about selling data" then how *is* Moz selling my data?

Eugen RochkoWhat's to stop Musk, who's already tried meddling with German elections, from seizing Zelenskyy's, or any other European leader's X account, and posting something with dire geopolitical consequences? We're way past the point where it's wise for European leaders and institutions to rely on a presence on X—and other US platforms are not a good long-term solution either. More should follow the example of the @EUCommission and provide their updates directly, without middlemen, through the fediverse.

Randahl FinkUkrainians are dying every day, and this shit show is what The White House has to offer the world.
What an absolute disgrace.
The world must realize Washington has fallen to the Russians. The sooner we do, the sooner we can defeat Putin.
Trump tells Zelenskyy he's 'gambling with World War III' in tense exchange
BrianKrebsHonestly, I don't know how Zelenksy didn't punch the cheetoh that whole time. That man has remarkable restraint.
I have never been so embarrassed for our country. What a thug. "World War III," he says over and over, echoing Putin's sabre rattling throughout his invasion. Even sitting in the White House, Trump is echoing the Kremlin line.
What's even more despicable is that the spineless, gutless GOP will say nothing about this indefensible show of gutlessness and cowardice by their leader. Imagine that: Being afraid of cowards makes you one.
