Nicht nur Lobbyist:innen, auch Bundestagsabgeordnete vertreten die Interessen von Unternehmen direkt bei Bundesministerien.

"What if instead of an application, we had humans do the driving for you?"

You just invited chauffeurs.

"No, I mean like as an on demand thing."

You just invented cabs.

"No, I mean let's share it so you only need to go to easily identified pickup points."

Like public transit?

"No! I mean for long distances without all the agony of airports."

So, high speed rail.

".....why do you hate innovation?"

"Oracle Financial Services Trade-Based Anti Money Laundering Enterprise Edition", oh yeah, there's a really good thing to have an exploit in which can be used remotely without authentication.

Unbelievable, there seems to be some “e-commerce” engine of some sort that just doesn’t work on Firefox. Encountered two different sites today that are clearly using the same backend (both in the onewheel/skating community) and both declined cards (Visa and Mastercard, by two different banks) without ever hitting the payment processor. Both worked on Chromium.

*smh*

Capitalism can’t even do capitalism right.

Dumb security bug of the day goes to Slack. Summary: they discovered a problem with the mechanism of inviting new users to your company.

>The bug we discovered was in this invite link event: along with the information about the shared invite link, *we included the hashed password of the user who created or revoked the link*. This information was sent over the websocket to all users of the workspace who were currently connected to Slack.

Peachy.

Huch!

Big Tech needs to play fair if we want a better web. But Tutanota users can't register a Microsoft Teams account and Microsoft won't change this. This demonstrates why stronger antitrust legislation is needed: https://tutanota.com/blog/posts/microsoft-blocks-tutanota-users-from-own-service

#Saturn from last night

Haven't used this telescope in ages (a Celestron 8" SCT). Collimation was really off and also focus was not perfect. Will be doing this again next week with hopefully better results!

Reply to Consider Disabling HTTPS Auto Redirects by @tdarb

One thing this article misses is the fact that webpages are delivered over the Web to Web browsers.

The vast majority of browsers are application runtime environments. Serving pages to users’ browsers creates a software distribution platform. Serving pages in cleartext is a way to give permission to users’ ISPs, network administrators, and governments to serve their malware instead, under your name, whether or not your page includes any scripts of your own.

People can’t always choose their networks, service providers, or governments. They aren’t always equipped to deal with content injection and page alteration.

This isn’t a “fear-based tactic”. It’s an acknowledgement of our reality: networks are hostile. There are no robust measures to stop an intermediary from altering unencrypted traffic, yet there are strong incentives for all able parties to do so. That makes malware injection a perfectly reasonable concern. Moreover: multiple ISPs, including Comcast and Vodafone, have been caught injecting JavaScript apps into unencrypted pages. Governments are no stranger to content injection either.

If you want to serve in cleartext, pick a protocol that’s not part of an application delivery platform. Gopher is a popular option.
