The Standard Model is the most successful scientific theory of all time. On the Quanta YouTube channel, David Tong, a theoretical physicist at the University of Cambridge, explains how the model comes together and what it’s still missing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Unl1jXFnzgo https://twitter.com/QuantaMagazine/status/1446889966747930630/video/1

Bad actors are abusing large, open-registration, low-moderation Mastodon instances in order to provide direction to the Vidar Stealer trojan horse, which steals passwords, credit card details, bitcoin wallets, etc.
If you run a large, open-registration, low-moderation instance, please consider changing at least one of those qualities.

On the "Mozilla" subject. Let's face it, we don't have a mature and truly open browser nowadays. Despite the fact that Mozilla exist as foundation they're on the quest for revenue. And this is the main problem.
We need an open browser which is not driven by revenue, backed by foundation, and truly Open Source. And it must be just a browser, no bloatware, no tracking, no commercialization at all.
The web is a public place and we need a browser for public.
World Mental Health Day
This Sunday 10 October, is World Mental Health Day and a reminder to us all to look after our mind as well as our body, and to have open and honest conversations with those around us about how we feel.
Before the pandemic, Torbay residents generally reported positive wellbeing, however almost 1 in 4 said they had high anxiety levels and around 1 in 5 residents self-reported having a common mental disorder such as anxiety or depression.
As our lives begin to return to normal, many of us who have been struggling with our mental health will have the resilience to bounce back but there will be those who continue to struggle and require help and support.
In response, we have been working with partners across Devon to improve our residents' access to mental health and wellbeing services.

Firefox now shows ads as sponsored address bar suggestions – https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/firefox-now-shows-ads-as-sponsored-address-bar-suggestions/
‘No new data is collected, stored, or shared to make these new recommendations," Mozilla says’
Meaning, of course, that Mozilla was already collecting, storing, and sharing what you typed in the URL bar.
