If you're using SMS-based 2FA you should switch to TOTP (time-based one-time password) codes generated by an app.

Don’t let others tell you that you *need* a paid service for this like 1Password, or that you have to use an app from BigTech like Google Authenticator. There are better, privacy-respecting, secure and open-source apps:

On iOS use Raivo (https://github.com/raivo-otp/ios-application)

On Android use Aegis (https://github.com/beemdevelopment/Aegis)

And when I say that here in #Iowa parents can use $ for ANY school, I mean that literally. There are no mandates, curriculum, etc. for private education in #Iowa
Parents can teach anything they want. Anything.
And there is zero state oversight.

Fucking horrifying.

@annaleen Trans rights are a reliable miner's canary for human rights in general: if they're attacked, the invisible toxic cloud is coming for everyone else very soon. (They're not the only signal that human rights are under attack, but they're a very sensitive one and I've never heard of a major anti-rights offensive that didn't attack trans people as well as whoever the ostensible target was.) So: solidarity!

The more I think about what went wrong with web search, it comes down to this: the internet companies did not ever come up with a workable definition of truth, or fealty to reality, or anything like it. What are the markers of fact in some text? They never figured that out.

You cannot organize all the world’s information without that core concept.

The chatbots are just making this failure plain (and weird).

I want this framed.

Quite possibly one of the stupidest things I've ever seen.

I registered on Codeberg today after seeing some other developers switch to it. I've had the account for about 3 hours by now but after browsing around the website, setting up SSH/GPG/2FA and creating a first repository, I love the UI/UX. I've always liked the GitHub UI/UX, and I feel like Gitea (which is what Codeberg is using) gives a very similar look and feel. I might make the switch as I'm done with GitHub after their Copilot plagiarism.

Question for the infosec community. Are these statements correct? They are from a Washington Post article.

"Myth No. 3: You need a VPN to stay safe online"

'But for most people in the United States and other democracies, “There is no real reason why you should use a VPN,” said Frédéric Rivain, chief technology officer of Dashlane,'

"If you’re concerned about ... WiFi networks in coffee shops or airports ... you probably don’t need to. Using public WiFi is safe now in most circumstances..."

Do you use a VPN when connected to public WiFi, your home WiFi, and when connected by cable to your home network router or modem?

Wait, what? Why does #Microsoft charge £0.79 to view .heic files and the #Mac just opens it for free in preview? What the actual?
