MS confirms it will give the FBI your Windows PC data encryption key if asked
Microsoft says it will provide the FBI with BitLocker encryption keys if requested for PCs that upload their key to the cloud via your Microsoft Account.
it's quite ironic that its called gastown. perhaps even selfacknowledging.
because the world where gastown looks attractive? that's the world where everything already went to shit!
to want to go to gastown is to accept that world. why accept that world when we can build a better one?
Rebuilding the indieweb one tendril at a time.
This is what we need to do. Rebuild the internet, reclaim the word social in social media and put people before platforms.
We must uncouple our attention from the tech-bro, elitist, narrative-controlling monopolies1 and get back to building individual, independant website presences. The indieweb.
Sites that are shared and aggregated by RSS feeds, collected into like-minded groups by webrings, boosted with decentralised social media platforms such as Mastodon, and cross-pollinated with interlinks and cross site conversations from individual posts.
Subvert, bypass, and starve the big platforms of their attention oxygen. Let them suffocate in a circle-jerk of AI generated slop.
There is now a growing movement of people dumping the scroll-gatekeepers, and building their own cheap, simple (often retro looking) independant websites.
Here is an example: Daryl Sun has a simple site that is packed with information and interesting links for anyone spending a little time to click rather than scroll (just like here).
In the spirit of re-wilding the web and creating interesting tendrils, I have updated my own ABOUT PAGE to let you know far more about me than you ever knew you wanted to know. It is a work in progress and will grow over time.
Another great example is Brennan, who writes some really interesting stuff and has recently begun moving his focus from posting on Medium to growing his independent site.
He always has tons of interesting outgoing links, is a member of a heap of webrings, as well as including a slash page of all his interests and projects.
I am gaining a lot of inspiration from this movement and urge you to consider dropping out of the shittosphere of big social media and spending that newfound scroll time creating your own independent online presence.
Let us tear the whole thing down and rebuild it fit for purpose.
If you already have a indie website drop me a link in the comments….I would love to follow and share.
tl;dr: There’s a relentless campaign by scammers to publish malware in the Canonical Snap Store. Some gets caught by automated filters, but plenty slips through. Recently, these miscreants have changed tactics - they’re now registering expired domains belonging to legitimate snap publishers, taking over their accounts, and pushing malicious updates to previously trustworthy applications. This is a significant escalation. Context Snaps are compressed, cryptographically signed, revertable software packages for Linux desktops, servers, and embedded devices.
