"GrapheneOS doesn’t see Unified Attestation as a solution, but just adds another new gatekeeper, replacing Google controls with a vendor-managed list.
The main argument made is that companies that sell phones should not be deciding which operating systems are allowed to run apps."

Things are cripplingly bad at the moment. They're bad for everyone, I know that.
I'm tired, I'm ill, and I'm broke. These signs are pretty much my only source of income. If you're thinking about Christmas, please consider buying gifts in advance because the way things are going I'm not sure I'll be selling them much longer.
I'm sorry, I still can't ship regular orders outside the UK, because the world and postage costs have gone mad.
Some org (who I will name after this poll ends) published this poll on Twitter (🙄). They used the results to try to validate their POV on AI theft.
Though it won’t provide meaningful research data, I am curious to see how Mastodon responds.
(Please boost so we can get good numbers. 🙌🏻)

Question: should openly licensed content (images, music, research, etc.) be used to train AI systems? (Reply with reasoning if you feel called.)
Back in the day, Twitter used to be really good if I set up a thread to connect freelancers with clients. Let's see if Mastodon can do it.
Clients: if you're looking for freelancers/contractors, get in the comments
Freelancers/contractors: get in the comments
Everyone else: boosts appreciated.
The market is *dead* for freelancers and a big part of that (in my opinion) is fragmentation. Let's get that network effect *back*.
Happy No Kings Day!

I am reliably informed by Google Shield that my site krebsonsecurity.com on Monday was the target of the biggest DDoS attack Google has ever had to deal with, clocking in at ~6.3 Tbps. This is not quite a record; apparently, an attack Cloudflare had to deal with in April is the largest known DDoS to date -- at ~6.5 Tbps.
It's been a while since we've seen a big DDoS. For reference, this one was about 10x the size of the Mirai botnet attack that launched a record DDoS against my site in 2016, knocking it offline for nearly 4 days until I got the site behind Google Sheild.
I'll know more in a bit. Below is the CF blog about their April attack.
DDoS attacks are surging. In 2025 Q1, Cloudflare blocked +20M attacks (a 358% YoY spike) along with 5.6 Tbps and 4.8 Bpps record-breaking attacks. And that's just the beginning. Read more in our latest DDoS Threat Report.
No Chuck, I'm worried about the fact that a deranged, drugged-up, unelected fascist billionaire has taken control of the federal government's payment systems and sensitive data and you're here talking about tomato prices.
Articles nowadays make big claims but don't back them up with details.
For example, this man.
