@Shamar That bugtracker does seem to increasingly rule the web.

But even giving Google the benefit of the doubt here, I do not think it's appropriate to say "that bug should be filed elsewhere" without specifying where that elsewhere is. While I understand why devs might say that, it is actively hostile.

Unfortunately those channels seem to be closing off more than they already were, I have less hope of getting heard at WHATWG than I do at W3C.

"Thing is, web developers don’t believe in performance. They say they do, but in reality, they don’t. What they believe in is hype."

A bit harsh, but I can't disagree.

Also: "Think about it: web, in general, failed to be fast, so Google invents a parallel web where they simply don’t let you use JavaScript."

@Shamar we are pretty upfront about that usually, but that's a good standard to adopt :)

Mi ricordi gli altri collettivi che Bida ha aiutato a metter su server fediverse?

Vorrei citarli qui: forum.partito-pirata.it/t/duck (se ti fa piacere puoi farlo tu stesso, l'iscrizione al forum non comporta l'iscrizione al partito)

Una bella intervista all'avvocato Carlo Piana del Partito Pirata, che ho conosciuto anni fa per la sua collaborazione con la #FSFE e con l'#OSI.

Per chi fosse curioso di sentire un avvocato in gambissima, attivista del software libero con diversi successi istitituzionali alle spalle parlare a Porta A Porta (!!!), stasera dalle 23.30 su una qualche Rai che non so, Marco Ciurcina parlerà del Partito Pirata per cui si presenta alle Europee.

Lui, Maria Chiara Pievatolo (prof. di Filosofia dell'Informazione) e Carlo Piana (altro avvocato che collabora spesso con FSFE e OSI) sono i candidati che voterò domenica 26.

Tendete un orecchio stasera.
Non ci vorrà molto.

Ma questi 3 in UE valgono un PD intero con tutte le comparse.

you can build higher level protocols on top of it, but basic message passing is sufficient for most things ime

"Yes, similar to existing attacks, attackers can only mount our attacks in practical settings once they have the ability to execute (unprivileged) code on the victim machine. We could convince ourselves this is still an obstacle, but we should first be prepared to disable JavaScript (and similar) in the browser, abandon cloud computing, etc."

Israeli espionage firm hacks WhatsApp. Can install spyware with missed call.

theguardian.com/technology/201

My advice: dump WhatsApp today and start using Wire (wire.com/en/products/personal-). Tell your friends and family to do the same. (It’s a simple, free download on all app stores. Easy to use, doesn’t require your phone number, and their business model is based on charging for commercial use and for pro accounts.)

You can find more alternatives on @switchingsocial (switching.social/ethical-alter)

Read this text from Zuckerberg about his meeting with French president Macron.
Read it twice if needed...

Knowing Zuckerberg's takes on privacy and free/hate speech, and knowing Macron's authoritarian & ultra-liberal strategy, isn't it frightening?
