Phenomenal reporting from ProPublica. Big takeaways:

  • FedRAMP is too understaffed to be effective.
  • Microsoft never answered serious questions about its cloud security architecture.
  • Despite a damning report, Microsoft's government cloud product was approved anyway.

Hi #fediverse. We need to talk about something.

While talking to a colleague about how I recently learned most people have never sat on a cow it came up that she has never sat on a horse. Like, not even once during childhood.

Another colleague admitted they also have never sat on a horse.

My hypothesis is that most people have at one point in their life sat on a horse.

Fashion and leather hardware collide: I've been seeking this tiny Chicago screw for an Italian belt for a while now, and Moschino's repair services in London and Milan have both come up short. If anyone has any ideas, I'd be grateful.

Is it time for allow-listing extensions on VSCode? I can hear the wailing and gnashing of teeth from devs at the notion, but this ecosystem is radioactive.
