People don't want a drill, they want a hole in their wall. To me, "better" means more effective i.e. higher conversion rate, wider reach, etc.

Yes I understand that's a distinctive factor, which was the reason for me mentioning it. Just wanted to point out that different threat models and actor evaluations exist.

The untouchable foreign databroker that is Google concerns me to a far greater degree than my heavily regulated and monitored ISP whose HQ is only a 30m bike-ride away here in the Netherlands.

They use some of the darkest and most unobvious manipulative techniques to steer you towards some very nasty content - most of which comes in the form of their podcasts. Edit: It doesn't seem to me like the content itself is of any par

How are they going to push their podcasts and other sponsored content if you use an alternative interface? Wouldn't surprise me if their API won't be around for much longer either.

Any sufficiently advanced act of benevolence is indistinguishable from malevolence. Or, perhaps, and somewhat less grave, they needed this time to build their case / simply hadn't gotten around to this yet. Spotify has become pret

Created my own logdrain for some side-projects hosted at Vercel. It's a fun weekend project and definitely makes you appreciate the many parts and complexities that go into creating a "proper" solution such as what Axiom look

It is not a unique concept, but there's absolutely room for another implementation/offering. Some of the more popular existing ones Framer-X (funny landing page copy claiming it is entirely unique) and Modulz: https://d

Yeah not like this. I will turn myself into a black hole as much as possible. If they somehow ever come to suspect me of these things I will gladly do anything I can to support their investigations. They can come by with a warrant, look thr

Yes, I was only indicating the affiliation and possible non-obvious agenda. Imagine BP or Shell were operating a website greentechtoday.peace without this relationship being very obvious at all, and an article about some specific technology

Only took me 5 words and a contraction to say the same thing, and I'm not even a native English speaker. Edit: All those maybe's and probably's are the most troublesome part though.

When a CEO requires 8 twitter posts[1] to essentially convey the message "Don't worry about this legal clause", it sort of has the opposite effect on me. [1]: https://twitter.com/brian_armstrong/status&#x

It's a good thing you're looking for an automated solution, because with that attitude you're not going to find any accessibility problems on your own :P https://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/tools/

This website is ran by Google and mostly serves to promote their proprietary web technologies[1], and to sell web devs on some of their bigger and often times more questionable changes. They already made some vague announcement about FIDO r

Unsure if this is related, but they have definitely been having some issues beyond their usual unresponsiveness to serious problems. The interest earnings figures (APY) were showing 0 for weeks, and have been incorrect ever since they retur

The chain of trust is a lie, external dependencies are as much a trade-off in security risks as they are in production cost, and your belief in the good intentions of a person/entity does not shield you from their unintentional mistake

Roll over and play dead often enough, and eventually the world around you will just assume you don't care and stop bothering to even inform you of the upcoming tricks they'll be requiring you to perform.

That thread turned from a pretty straight-forward permission issue discussion to a display of some esoteric dark arts in only a few posts! Not sure if I consider vim either simple or sane, but then again, it was first released quite a while

Most projects I'm involved with require measures that go a bit further still. Got to be honest though, it can be frustrating at times. Just sprinkling bits of awareness around by bringing some of these considerations up whenever I can.

You're right, what I'm curious about is how difficult it'd be to sneak a malicious command into some VSCode extension update trough these production dependencies, and how far, say, an rm -rf <allthethings> could reach f

Still amazed by the amount of external production dependencies these VSCode extensions all seem to require. I wonder how tight Microsoft's grip is on extension security and how deep any of their automated checks might go. The extension

Windows is so far past that point now, could just as well pile these on too < edit: I'm actually positive about these tools, MS could do with a little less focus on consumer usecases I think.
