VPN vendors have huge budgets to advertise on your favorite podcasts.

We don't have marketing for the IETF, browser and OS security teams, CAs (Let's Encrypt), CDNs, researchers, open source authors, website builders, digital rights activists...

We made the web secure and didn't tell anyone.
Man-in-the-middle attacks on Public WiFi networks haven't been a realistic threat in a decade. Almost all websites use encryption by default, and anything of value uses HSTS to prevent attackers from downgrading / disabling encryption. It's a non issue.
They are useful to prevent man in the middle attacks where someone uses a pineapple to spoof a public wifi signal.

I will never understand why Finder defaults are so bad, this is what you see when using a File input in browser. You can't navigate up or down the directory tree, just a dropdown select. If you have multiple directories with same name, you just have to guess??

🚨🚨🚨 NEW YORK TIMES TECH GUILD STRIKES 🚨🚨🚨

Please help hold the picket line digitally too ✊:
• No reading or linking to NYT articles

• No Cooking, Athletic, or Wirecutter either

The New York Times Tech Guild is on strike, and are asking the public to supporting them by avoiding using the NYT’s games or cooking apps. I plan to observe the picket line for the duration. Solidarity is more important than a streak.

The Times said it was "disappointed" by the timing of the strike but that it has “robust plans in place to ensure that we are able to fulfill our mission and serve our readers.”

If you couldn't make it to Berlin earlier this week, you can watch my Public Interest Internet talk online: streameth.org/web3summit/w...

The tl;dr is:

• Doing tech right means doing democracy.
• Democracy isn't what you think it is.
• Don't shred squirrels.
The Public Interest Internet
Many of us have spent years imagining a better internet that works for people. But our efforts tend to be scattered, improving one problem or iterating on one technological component, but not consider...

Excited to see Noēma publishing this from @mariafarrell.bsky.social and I (with a much bigger contribution from Maria).

The internet, and us with it, suffers under extraction & monoculture. We can revitalise it by applying lessons from conservation ecology.

the underlying web platform infrastructure and environment to make things like this more reasonably possible has been slowly but surely progressing.

here's a summary of the state of custom protocol support in browsers/engines today.

there's some interesting stuff in the works.

The official Redux docs link to tweets from Dan Abramov, He restricts his account, so these discussions are now limited. This would be a good case to use Pin Tweet to IPFS chromewebstore.google.com/detail/pin-t...

"Working Girl: On Selling Art and Selling Sex" by Sophia Giovannitti

Powerful, wide-ranging memoir/theories from the illuminating perspective of selling art and sex. I'm looking for a way to say "all over the place but in a very good way."

Browsers are hugely load-bearing in the Web's architecture, and yet they haven't changed very much in quite a while. If the Web is indeed for user agency, we should take a hard look at our user agents to see if they might not need improvement.
