the ICE database is definitely not on the P2P web or anything. and it's especially not at an address that looks anything like dat://386ef60e56eb9edb878738ee35ee6e95c8552902985e725a5901ae6851e25d00/

and it would be a real shame
if anyone were to look at that url or pass it around or anything

If a service dog approaches you by itself, it's trying to get you to follow it. I didn't know that until today but now I do!

Yowza. A bug in macOS can expose the contents of a user's files -- including document text and photo thumbnails -- even if the drive is encrypted. https://www.zdnet.com/article/macos-quick-look-bug-leaks-encrypted-data-researchers-find/

Probably a longshot: does anyone out there know a place to find BBS archives, specifically between 1980 and 1984? I've scoured textfiles.com, and it's good, but perhaps there's more?

GitLab open sourced push mirroring and added it core. This is a great win for #decentralization!!! You can now run your own canonical GitLab instance & easily mirror to GitHub for findability.

I want the software driving cars around my family to be held to the a similar standard of quality. In the context of self-driving cars, "Move fast and break things" means "Half-arse it and kill people."

Humans in the USA manage 1.16 fatalities per 100,000,000 miles travelled. Uber's software couldn't even get to 3 million miles before it killed someone.

We do this properly, or not at all.

Tumblr tried to sneak in data collection under the radar. After a few taps, you can get a list of who they're sharing data with.

The list takes 19 screenshots to see all the names on my phone.

NINETEEN.

idea: why not fully integrate tor into federated applications to allow them to work from behind a NAT or when being censored by a country? Integrate as in "ship a tor binary with your application binary"

Yes it does, it prevents them from replying to Trump's tweets, and also seeing them. Muting people, not blocking them, would be consitutional.

Here's a 75-page opinion by United States District Judge Naomi Reice Buchwald that explains it:

After months of work, we have a new stable release series!
