Modern cybercrime knows no borders, but prosecutors still grapple with jurisdictional challenges. The myth of "cyber borders" is just that – a myth. In reality, cross-jurisdictional cases often involve shared infrastructure, complex networks, and mismatched laws. To combat this, we must adopt a more holistic approach to cybersecurity, one that prioritizes cooperation and coordination between nations.

What do you think of using Google in your life?

I use a Google Pixel 7 Pro at the moment, but I use GrapheneOS instead of OEM, and I think it is the best Android line of phones I have used so far. Their bootloader is lockable after installing custom operating systems which is much better than all other offers at the moment. The build quality, battery and design of the phone is solid as well. This phone has a lot of merits going for it which other Android phones are not replicating for the sake of a false sense of "security" or profits. I will appreciate Google for giving me a great phone to install GrapheneOS on, alongside Android for being a secure base for an operating system.

I appreciate the Chromium browser more than other browsers in the market. While Google Chrome is junk regarding user privacy, as well as shoving AI in your face, Chromium itself is actually pretty solid. It is also the most secure option, offering a malloc() implementation better than Firefox's mozmalloc, although not as secure as hardened_malloc, by GrapheneOS. Firefox is also implementing AI features into their browser, which leaves a bad taste in my mouth. MV2 is deprecated, sure, but you win more than you lose in security, as a lot of API features were exploitable. Chromium does a lot of good things, while Chrome gives the base itself a lot of bad blood. I would like to see what Servo can do, but I appreciate Google for making a secure browser.

I generally despise a lot of what Google offers, however. I feel like they lean heavily on the deception of convenience, where Google gives really good results while it uses your data for the sake of advertising. This applies with the Google Suite (Mail, Office, and Drive among others) as well. I would much rather use FOSS or nonprofit alternatives, such as Tutanota, or LibreOffice. Google is essentially the serpent from The Book of Genesis, selling you the benefit of their convenience for the sake of having your data stolen for their use. As such, I will choose not to follow Google convenience promise for my security.

Feel free to leave your opinions, and why I should consider other avenues rather than accepting a bit of Google in my life. As much as I love privacy, your privacy can't be guaranteed if there is no good security. Google may be known for piss-poor privacy, but their open source projects have a lot of security merits as well as good privacy. Do not use this as advice, but make your own conclusion.

Hello, I have some news regarding my adventures in Linux again, this time I hope I am seriously able to commit. I have had a history of not committing to things, since I was a child. It has been insanely painful for me to last with something for longer than a few months or weeks. Rant aside, I am now using Fedora and I'm planning on fully engaging with the community via the Security Team and the KDE SIG, with ideas to join the Rust SIG as a means of commitment.

I recently switched to Fedora after some issues regarding my boot setup. My system at the time was an had two FAT32 partitions which were labeled for Alpine Linux and Arch Linux, one LUKS+LVM partition with swap, Alpine Linux and Arch Linux logical volumes, with UKI. My system was partially easy to maintain, but a few weeks after that install I noted Alpine was having issues with kernel modules, and I was required to use Arch for that time being. Finally, my snapping point was reached when both UEFI entries just vanished. The entire point of having two distributions at once for me was gone. After hearing that Fedora 43 was out, I went to grab a USB and a copy of Fedora Everything, and installed Fedora 43 with KDE Plasma with no OOTB issues.

I did make my own customisations later down the line, such as adopting hardened_malloc as my global malloc implementation by using secureblue's COPRA package. hardened_malloc is better regarding security than glibc's malloc especially regarding heap corruption and reduction of metadata. There are also RAM consumption benefits. This made me feel like it was a good idea to install hardened_malloc as my global allocator. This customisation did come at the cost of GTK applications bailing however, although you could fix it with LD_PRELOAD and a Bash script.

I've tried to apply for the Fedora Security Team, and KDE SIG through two sponsors and now I am simply waiting for a response. I shouldn't, and wasn't expecting a reply soon, so I'm happy to wait out the month honestly. I just have to hope the application gets through and gets read which I believe will happen. Maybe I can even try the Rust SIG.

I still have plans to use Alpine Linux. My Samsung Galaxy S9 is still not working on postmarketOS, and I want to try and port the device for the mainline Linux source code tree. I would still have to carry some of Alpine Linux's work if I did port postmarketOS as I couldn't live off of it forever. As such, I still will be using Alpine Linux mainly for my phone and maybe low-spec servers. I have sadly leeched off of Arch Linux which I do apologise for, but I didn't have anything to contribute to at that time.

That's all I have to say for now. Good night.

I'm reading a New York Review of Books article about the Internet and the World Wide Web. The article discusses recent books by Tim Berners-Lee and Cory Doctorow. This paragraph caught my eye.

A quote from an article in the New York Review of Books: "He [Tim Berners-Lee] urges us to walk away from Facebook and X in exchange for “something pro-human”—decentralized platforms like Mastodon, a user-controlled, open-source alternative in the so-called Fediverse. One virtue of the Fediverse, as [Cory] Doctorow also emphasizes, is that users can move freely from one server or community to another without losing their friends and followers.

Who or what do we blindly trust with our #health? 🤔

White Coats or Black Boxes?

Some thoughts on AI, medicine, human judgment, and how #AI could help us think more instead of less.

Reflections from a conversation with #healthcare leaders on trust, transparency, and who really benefits from AI in #medicine

I grew up in a world where you didn't question your doctor. You didn't ask about lab results. You didn't research your medications. "Doctor's orders" was gospel.

My grandmother never saw her own test results. She wouldn't have known what to do with them anyway.

We like to think we've evolved past that. But have we? Or have we just traded blind trust in white coats for blind trust in #algorithms?

That's the question that kept surfacing in my head after this Expert Panel Discussion I hosted with Sean Martin, CISSP and an extraordinary group of people:

Dr. Robert Pearl, M.D. (former CEO, The Permanente Medical Group, Inc.)

Robert Havasy (HIMSS)

John Sapp Jr (Texas Mutual Insurance Company)

Jim St. Clair (Altarum)

Robert Booker (HITRUST)

We gathered to discuss AI in healthcare. What emerged was something deeper: a reckoning with how we've always delegated medical decisions—and whether AI might actually force us to become smarter, more analytical, more inquisitive about our own health.

Here's my theory: AI doesn't have to make us dumber. It could make us think more, not less. But only if we choose to engage. Only if we demand transparency. Only if we resist trading one form of blind trust for another.

400,000 people die annually from misdiagnoses in America. That's not AI failure—that's human failure we've learned to accept.

The question isn't whether AI will transform healthcare. It already is.

The question is: Will we finally start asking questions?

About our doctors AND our algorithms?

Then tell me—what kind of trust are we building? Who benefits? Who bears the risk?

Let's keep exploring what it means to be human in this Hybrid Analog Digital Society.

Looking at the images of #AI #datacenters one cannot help but wonder about how much physical desolation and trash (made of degraded short-lived hardware no one will be able to use efficiently) AI bubble will leave behind. The dotcom bubble pales in comparison.

After all, the dotcom bubble only left behind scores of Aeron chairs and that fibre that @pluralistic keeps mentioning, so one could count that a net positive.

So Valve finally announced the Steam Frame. After so much hype online and speculation, people are grappling with what it is vs their expectations. All which leads me to the question:

If you are a VR-head, what do you think are the killer features of VR that will be available on this headset day 1? What do you think is worth doing daily on a device like this?

Not a sceptic, but I would like to know the selling points of why VR in 2025. #vr #technology #ar #headset

Are MCP tools as secure as you think? 🤔🔒

The GitHub repo by `invariantlabs-ai` highlights experiments exposing vulnerabilities in MCP servers. From direct file exfiltration attacks (`direct-poisoning.py`) to email interception (`shadowing.py`), these snippets showcase how agents can get manipulated. A chilling example: `whatsapp-takeover.py` changes behavior stealthily to leak sensitive WhatsApp messages.

I use the Reminders app on my iphone, but I don’t like the new design which adds a button in the list of Reminders for each day. I use Siri to add reminders so don’t need these new buttons which just clutter the list.
So full marks to Gemini for giving me Voiceover-friendly, step by step instructions on how to set up a Smart List which shows a nice, clean list of my active reminders.

@stefano Great post! I've been using #Linux #FreeBSD for about two decades and want to share my experiences. For context, Linux became my daily driver and I dabbled in FreeBSD on the side.

As a newcomer to both the #technology and #culture of #Linux and the BSDs, *back then* there was more toxicity. And by toxicity I mean abrasive and unhelpful responses ("RTFM!") or some kind of "l337" attitudes in various mailing lists and forums. This, of course, was before YouTube and Reddit, where the former mediums were more prevalent.

Some Linux distros were friendlier than others. In those days, the #Debian mailing lists and forums were a rough place for newcomers and it drove a lot of people away. I left the forums because of that. I rarely post to the mailing lists but for other reasons.

At some point, there was considerable effort to improve the etiquette in said mediums, particularly the mailing lists. Sure, some fiery disagreements can take place but overall people are friendly and welcoming.

FreeBSD, on the other hand, has been a more positive experience. Yes, there are people who are vocal about their contempt for Linux, but they aren't disrespectful to other people.

Having witnessed both communities grow and change over the years, there's definitely less toxicity and FreeBSD is still a more welcoming community.

I've taken the time to read this IT notes Story where we are reminded to use Open Source Code in the diverse way it's intended

I can give you an example regarding the _if tools_
**ifconfig** is in my _muscle memory_ the things that I need executed from this program just fly out of my fingers in reflex mode
I've been using the if tools ever since we needed to _compile everything_ ourselves, when we wanted to run an Open Source Environment, where the kernel was written and delivered in source code only.
If this is the first toot you read by me, I've been with the Open Source community on the Linux side since the alpha versions were coded and distributed through Usenet, in comp.os.unix.*

In that period you were grateful when a task set that you needed to execute, had a program, which would either make your task easier or better manageable, than doing everything by hand in a laborious manner

Ever since the beginning there are different GNU programs, written in the Richard Stallman period, that can do similar things. All you need to do is choose what you like and stick with it
If you do not like the way it works, you can fork it & change the code, if you don't know how to write a line of code, there are _manual pages_ available which you can use as teaching methods to learn how to code yourself
All you need to be for that is an _autodidact_
You have the power of the **Source Code** readily available right in front of you

At a certain point in time _Bram Molenaar_ did not like the way VI worked; he want it more than vi offered. At this point in time Bram Molenaar programmed vim on the _Amiga_ computer. Since the true Open Source form was followed vim was also distributed in Source form and was happily adopted by others who were thinking in a similar manner as Bram Molenaar and they started to contribute to that program.
vi is a vital program on UNIX systems. What Bram has made, is create a _choice_ for people who want it more than what vi offered.

# vim & vi happily coexist!

## This is the beauty of Open Source

At a later point in time this is also what happened with the programmer who wanted more than what the if-tool set offers. Thus the command set of _ip_ was programmed. Similar to vi and vim they happily coexist.

### However on the distribution level something changed.

After a couple of decades I noticed that traditional tools, that have been tried, tested, stable and have withstood the test of time, were dropped from the base installations. You have to go and fetch them yourself. It was even done with _critical tools_ like the if tool set. It's not just one distribution that's doing it but different distributions.
I was busy with an installation; at a certain point I needed **ifconfig** to work on my network interface devices; I needed to configure something on the fly. Imagine my facial expression when I detected that ifconfig wasn't in the base installation!
The machine was in a _chicken egg_ situation because I had &no access to the network_ I had to stop, go to another place fetch the if tools separately, find out that they were dropped for reasons which were totally irrelevant to my work, go back to the machine, install them separately and in the process waste many valuable minutes of time.

It was then that I started to notice the pattern a pattern of **polarization** removing tools which are critical to base installations without leaving a warning

I had to _change_ my setup routine which has been working for decades in a _flawless_ manner, because someone somewhere decided that a good tool set became obsolete.

This polarization is not only in the choice of what commands are chosen to be in the base installation of a distribution, it's in many different sections of the open source community which is what Stefano has shed some light upon.

Polarization because of diversity is totally unnecessary, happy and peaceful coexistance is key

* You can love vim yet cherish vi
* You can glorify emacs yet admire vim
* I can love XCFE cherish LXDE, admire KDE & like GNOME all simultaneously

Depending up on what I'm doing, what machine I am working on (SBC server embedded system), what is needed on the task at hand, I simply adapt and work with the diverse tools available for free.

There is absolutely now need for polarisation or Toxic behavior in the Open Source ENV:

Another example is the direction that Gnome went many years ago.

In that period I used Enlightenment, Gnome, KDE and FVWM simultaneously on different machines. All WM are working in a manner that I like. When however the Gnome programmers decided to strip configuration features of the Desktop Environment, I didn't go on a rant, I didn't bother to fork, because of the massive amount of work involved.

I just left in Peace

Diversity is Vital. GNOME is Vital! We need them all

What is disturbing to me is that the term side loading has been invented to make users think that they are not allowed to install any program on their computers other than those sanctioned by some company.

People are also made to believe that their phones are special devices while in fact they are simply very powerful small single board computers.

Instead of getting angry or frustrated the Open Source Community should band together so that full-blown Linux based Operating Systems can be made available for the masses, be installed as easy as standard Linux distributions on X86 and on SBCs is like the Raspberry Pi ARM family, so that they can remove the bloatware which Google dictates and then install any Linux flavor designed for their Android computers

🎼 #Music 🎶 if it didn't exist our humanity would be very different from what it is now. The same can be said about #art in general and the intrinsic need humans have to create it and enjoy it.

When it comes to music I love to hear it, play it and talk about it so I am grateful I got to spend time with this amazing group of people to discuss the imperfect magic of this incredible art.

Some advice for anyone who is staring out in technology: "It works for me", is the worst thing that you can possibly say.
If it isn't clear why, then consider the next time you are having a physical moment with a romantic partner and they express there is a problem, reply with, "it works for me": you will be 100% accurate and you will also demonstrate that you are 100% useless.
True, the person reaching out for help at that moment may be overlooking the obvious and at worst they may be a complete idiot, but if you own that solution then part of the job is to educate, work with, and learn a few things along the way. Dismissing someone with, "it works for me", pretty much abdicates all responsibility - you may find you're out of job before long and someone else with a different response assumes your role.

This could be helpful. I used to have all my Flag & General Officer colleagues tagged so I could find the right leader(s) quickly. Same with my #EdTech colleagues. Then LinkedIn took that functionality away and made it only accessible for Premium (paid) members, which didnt make economic sense for me after I retired. This seems like something AI could sort for us very efficiently.

On the other hand, it would be just as easy for one of #AgolfShitler's new bounty hunters to (say) tell it to find everybody in their network who was Muslim, had started out in a different country, and had posted critically of #IsraelAtWarCrimes and its #genocide in Palestine, to flag them for deportation...or to find everybody in their network who posted critically OF CHANCELLOR SHITLER HIMSELF, or of the #ICEtapo's growing militancy, to send us to the camps.

Its also not difficult to imagine at least SOME entities (like, say, the #TurdReich regime) asking for and being granted or at least SOLD access to ALL LinkedIn member data, even folks you have no connection to.

As my wife's #technology #ethics work emphasizes, no technology is, in and of itself, inherently good or evil--but they ARE *what we design them to be,* with the #affordances and restraints (or lack thereof) that we GIVE them. And that requires an intentional deliberation which, too often, we're failing to give it.

I've had more #Hackster articles go live today, starting with some interesting research on spotting generative-AI faces - both wholly-synthetic and "deepfake." A five-minute training course considerably boosted peoples' ability to call the #AISlop out - but the average users' performance was still barely better than closing your eyes and guessing.

Apparently we're going to need "super-recognisers" to save us.
