1/3 🧑‍⚖️ Today, the Court of Justice of the EU has upheld a € 4.1 billion antitrust fine against Google for abusing the dominant position of its Android mobile operating system to thwart rivals.

💰 The judgment confirms the European Commission's finding that Google abused Android to strengthen the market position of Google Search, the Chrome browser and other Google products.

@freddy @david_chisnall I think @mhoye phrased this problem really well here:

Small businesses, please stop using corporate social media as your only online presence.

I’d happily visit a website that looks like it was designed in the 1990s if it meant I could actually scroll down and see your address, hours of operation, etc.

It doesn’t have to be pretty, just functional.

It would be really helpful if you also included common allergens for your food and drinks (if relevant) and how accessible your location is for disabled folks.

Good morning Europe I have written about the bewildering array of mechanisms available to prevent authentication token theft and also explained why we still basically have none of them available and so the authentication tokens are still being stolen and used. It is here: https://www.codon.org.uk/~mjg59/blog/p/preventing-token-theft/

sweet holy mother of surprise! surely not the same Aura Salla who was chief-lobbyist for facebook before being elected to the European Parliament?

inspired by CLAUDE.md, I’ve started putting markdown files named after coworkers into work code repos so I can remind them to stop doing shit to the codebase that annoys me

for some reason they’re all mad at me now, which means ill be adding commands to JEREMY.md for an attitude adjustment

For the N'th time in my ~40 years online I'm watching (mostly: European) digital rights civil society placing moral purity of individuals acting within the law, above the collective impact of capability & outcome. It's like the Monty Python "Suicide Squad" skit. #mullvad

"Anthropic has agreed to proactively detect and address security risks associated with the models [...and...] alert the government of any malicious activity"

So basically Anthropic will snitch on you?

cargo-audit flags Rust dependencies with known vulnerabilities. A flagged crate, though, doesn't tell you whether your code calls the vulnerable function.

We added a feature that matches a binary's symbols against the functions named in each advisory. Any matches are labeled "Affected," separating real exposure from advisories that don't apply.

It's live in cargo-audit 0.22.2+. If you're behind, update with `cargo install -f cargo-audit`.

#Microsoft fake #Windows error ended in a $280 million settlement.

The story mostly forgotten today, and one of the reasons why MS was/is so disliked. This is just one of their dirty tricks they played to gain mass adoption and eventually a monopoly on the PC.
