Classic Microsoft: they force software you never asked for and didn’t want onto your PC. Then they ship a bug that accidentally removes it

I feel like the message of Sir Tim Berners-Lee's latest op-ed in the Financial Times may suffer from its medium.

But don't worry, you can read his pitch for Solid here:

Happy St Patrick’s Day! I hope you get lucky like the Irish. Or something.

qbasic (1992): opens with the option to view help or jump straight into programming.

qb64 (2025): opens with a warning that any program you make with it will be falsely flagged by your antivirus as malware.

We heard you needed some more time, so we wanted to let you cook.

We decided to push the Phrack 72 CFP deadline back until June 15th.

Stay tuned for upcoming Phrack events.

SAMLStorm: Critical Authentication Bypass in xml-crypto and Node.js libraries https://workos.com/blog/samlstorm

Just spent 6 hours in an ER (I'm fine) and witnessed, in no particular order:

A nurse bit by a patient

A patient screaming MURDERERS from an exam room

Two nurses patiently dressing and re-dessing an elderly man who kept stripping

Someone yelling at a student doctor about wait times

Urine being spilled on the floor

Someone yelling "the patient made a run for it!"

A patient trying to call the cops on doctors

Whatever we think hospital workers should be paid, it's not enough.

Full interview with Signal's Meredith Whittaker.

Four hundred and nineteen Twitter accounts that posted on Brexit were localized to Russia’s Internet Research Agency… About a third of the discussion of Brexit on Twitter was generated by bots—and more than 90% of the bots tweeting political material were not located in the United Kingdom. Britons…had no idea at the time…that the bots were part of a Russian foreign policy to weaken their country. The margin of the vote was 52% for leaving and 48% for staying. … Brexit was a triumph for Russian foreign policy, and a sign that a cyber campaign directed from Moscow could change reality.
—Timothy Snyder, The Road To Unfreedom: Russia, Europe, America
