Done it !
#appleNewton to modern laptop's #libreOffice via Windows 3.1 and #virtualBox
Just had the chance to change prod on Friday, and instead created an issue due Monday
And now Trump himself is trying to blame this on Signal: "I think Signal could be defective, to be honest with you."
Don't shoot the (encrypted) messenger.👇https://www.wired.com/story/signalgate-isnt-about-signal/
Karl is really mad, too. Although, I think maybe that anger is misdirected. Karl's response is typical LinkedIn Reply Guy whataboutism stuff ("where were you when Hunter Biden's laptop..")
Karl's profile says he is a f/t cybersecurity program architect for Microsoft's Asia/Pacific region. I feel safer already.
The White House are bringing in Elon Musk, not Mandiant, to look at how a reporter ended up in the Signal chat.
Elon has publicly tweeted many times that Signal isn’t secure, and told people to use Telegram (lol) - so basically, Signal, CISA and likely the reporter are going to get thrown under the misinformation bus next week. Elon is absolutely clueless about everything security.
Th BBC have an article all about Signal now so I guess the old saying that there is no such thing as bad publicity might still be somewhat valid 🙂🤷♂️
Really good post on long term storage of data
Me: I have a directory tree snapshot of all our family photos on 2 HDDs in a rarely spun up server, and a copy on iCloud. Thinking of a family 2 TB google store too. Oh, and the same content on to SSDs
I also have a box of multiple laptops from 20 years ago, which contain tarballs of home dirs themselves with tarballs of home dirs. Eventually I get to 16 bit windows apps with RCS revision control. I need to make sure thats all in cloud too
an ominous I-am-under-NDA-coded warning to immediately uninstall atop has been posted by a reputable tech blogger. https://rachelbythebay.com/w/2025/03/25/atop/
I'm really looking forward to the Labour Party chancellor announcing plans to renew the UK economy by ensuring a fair income for all, for decency and so they can spend that money on local goods and services, funded by tax rises on unearned wealth, non-doms and those who hoard their unproductive wealth overseas. Can't wait!
@signalapp
The technical level of security of Signal is irrelevant. Even using its vulnerability as an argument against it for secure government communications is merely a red herring, since the main issue is not the security breach, but the the Trump administration skirting government accountability and effectively creating an unaccountable shadow government outside the normal intelligence community..
Very relevant note: yeah the opsec is terrible, but the rationale of using Signal was to hide from the official record, and that's worse.

After Trump's decree: fight for US funding for Tor, F-Droid and Let's Encrypt
Following a decree by US President Trump, the Open Technology Fund is no longer receiving funding. That is why the organization is now going to court.

It's time for some eastern science..
The State Department admits the window for peace is "closing fast," but is either reprehensibly unwilling or incompetently unable to apply the necessary pressure to achieve it. Trump's talks with Putin are the essence of empty, performative diplomacy.
Vegas and Disney are gross and overrated and, oh yeah, you can BE DISAPPEARED HERE NOW with zero legal recourse because nearly every person or agency charged with enforcing the law supports the suspension of the law if a designated obersturmfuhrer tells them to disappear someone. That's how it works now. It's not worth some fucking teacup ride or whatever. Have fun that keeps your money in your community.
Keep this in mind when people claim cars mean business — closing Central #Madrid to cars over holidays resulted in a 9.5% boost in retail spending on its main shopping street: STUDY.
There was also a 71% drop in air pollution.
