I'm a big fan of this explanation/rant from Andrew Murphy.

Taken as a whole, there are many bottlenecks in a corporate software development process. The "load-bearing" calendar is a great example!

Speeding up code creation just increases pressure on the bottleneck, which decreases throughput.

💡 Security isn’t a collective fear - it’s a shared competence ✅

🎯 𝗗𝗜𝗚𝗜𝗧𝗔𝗟 𝗥𝗜𝗦𝗞𝗦, 𝗧𝗛𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗧 𝗠𝗢𝗗𝗘𝗟𝗦, 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗘𝗠𝗣𝗔𝗧𝗛𝗬: 𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗜𝗡𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗦 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗘𝗠𝗣𝗢𝗪𝗘𝗥 - Łukasz Król ✨🔥

Digital and cyber risks don’t always fit into standard risk assessment models. They use different language, involve complex causes, and depend on interlinked systems.

In this talk, Łukasz Król shares how to make digital security feel real, relatable and doable, even for non-technical audiences. He’ll show how to compare digital risks to physical, financial, and legal threats using simple analogies, how to break down the myth of omnipresent surveillance, and how to use storytelling to make threat modelling feel less abstract.

With real examples he’ll prove that empathy, clarity, and simple frameworks can turn fear into action.

Łukasz Król https://pretalx.com/bsidesluxembourg-2026/speaker/NLVVCF/ is a digital security trainer at the ICRC Global Cyber Hub in Luxembourg. He has a background in politics, technology, and international relations. He is particularly interested in digital security pedagogies, selecting secure and sustainable digital tools, and effectively supporting at-risk groups and individuals.

"How many products does Microsoft have named 'Copilot'? I mapped every one."
https://teybannerman.github.io/strategy/2026/03/31/how-many-microsoft-copilot-are-there.html

"A few weeks ago, I tried to explain to someone what Microsoft Copilot is. I couldn’t… because the name ‘Copilot’ now refers to at least 75 different things."

Jonny (good kind) is the new #JohnMastodon!

Since @jonny 's thread on Claude code made the rounds, it leaked out of the Fediverse via different sources (Reddit, Bluesky, LinkedIn, Twitter) and our server is getting a surge of joining requests from people who do not have any idea how Mastodon / Fedi works (they think our server is Mastodon) and whose sole purpose is to follow Jonny, who has basically become the embodiment of #Mastodon outside of Mastodon 😂

It's great to see how many "outsiders" are interested in our alternative way of doing social media... but it also means that we should do much better in advertising the #Fediverse out there: most people have no idea it exists! and once they realise there is an alternative to the for-profit socials, some of them at least are interested in joining!

Why are the Dutch more productive?

One answer in this video:

"No hero-culture."

- In many countries, people who work overtime and sacrifice weekends are called heroes. In the Netherlands, that behaviour is considered stupid.

- Working long hours is not a badge of honour, it is a signal of inefficiency.

AI is Bias at Scale.

AI is making a product of "We've always done it this way."

When I say that many US white evangelicals and christofascists aren't really practicing a religion, this is what I mean.

They co-opted the symbols of christianity to justify and promote US racism.

If your true religion is US racism then you select the most powerful racist in the US as your "pope."
