Defense in depth is a concept they teach you in cybersecurity 101. But that's expensive and time consuming, so you end up with shit like this.

This makes me feel a bit nauseous.

Pretty much nailed why I almost exclusively play Indies these days. That and spyware that calls itself anti-cheat rarely working on my OS, thank God.

The bigger problem for me personally is that my bank uses the app to verify certain transactions and there doesn't seem to be a way around that. I'm planning on moving to GrapheneOS on my daily phone soon, my solution will be to have my old iPhone run nothing but my banking apps. It sucks but privacy sometimes involves sacrifices.

Welcome to a new kind of tension

All across the maple leaf nation

Where musicians are slanderd by the claaaaankers

Ultimately Discord is a corporate-owned social media platform, and like all corporate-owned social media platforms their best interests rarely intersect with the best interests of their users. Centralised systems like Discord always end up with a power imbalance between the users and the administrators, and if you break their rules they have it within their power to just vapourise your community without a second thought. Your organisation or community only exists for as long as you toe their line.

I mean if you want to help someone in an abusive relationship, telling them to just leave doesn't really work there either, and for a lot of the same reasons. But you can support them in other ways until they're able to do what's necessary to leave.

You can install macOS on other systems too. It's garbage and Apple really don't want you to do it, but it's possible if you hate stability.

A new community-led initiative called “EU OS” to develop a Linux distribution initiative looks like a positive development. It is specifically created to address the unique requirements of the European Union's (EU) public sector organizations. For me, this initiative stands out for its commitment to the EU's digital sovereignty, reducing reliance on external vendors, and creating a secure, independent digital ecosystem.
