@ai6yr @briankrebs OFC this targets #TechIlliterates and the only effective means here are:
- Teach #TechLiteracy instead of consumerism.
- Mandate #confirmation & #notification - #PopUp|s for every use of #Clipboard (similar to #webcam use by websites)...
- Ban #JavaScript - seriously!
- Ban #Windows, because it's a #Govware, espechally since #Windows10 and even more so on #Windows11 that is *insecure in every configuration!
- Put #TechIlliterates before a system they can't feck up. I.e. @tails_live @tails / #Tails for that reason alone (can't run such commands if they neither got #root nor any #persistent #storage to target).
- Normalize the use of @torproject #TorBrowser!
- #Teach #tech #literacy instead of #consumerism!
- Ban #GAFAMs and their shitty products!
- Migrate every #TechIlliterate to #Linux and don't give them administrative privilegues.
- Teach tech literacy instead of consumerism!
Confirmation Relics
My daughter's Confirmation Retreat had a "relics table" with various relics. A 1st class of Bl. Carlo Acutis, a zucchetto (white skull cap) belonging to St. JPII, and a rosary given to a family from Mother Teresa. #catholic #confirmation #saints
Got the physical copies of my Cambridge element in the mail. A reminder that the whole book is free to download until the end of February: https://doi.org/10.1017/9781009210171
I spent the weekend at my daughter’s confirmation retreat. Officially, I wasn’t there except to help with food (her allergies) but she permitted me to hang out at the retreat proper. A real joy to see her spread her wings. #catholic #confirmation

This post is generating a lot traffic on #DailyKos -- Dems keep asking for our support and cash, yet they aren't going to the mat for #Democracy or the working class! Every one of tRump's appointees should have been dragged through cloture votes, yet when you see Rubio getting 99 votes approving his appointment, that tells me some of the 45 democratic senators aren't listening or give a shit!
Daily KosDemocrats keep helping Trump confirm his abysmal nomineesTulsi Gabbard has been confirmed as President Donald Trump’s director of national intelligence, and while she did not receive support from Democrats, the party failed to exercise every option ...
#ToddBlanche, Trump’s nom for the No. 2 job at the #DOJ & another one if his #criminal defense attys, decried at his #confirmation hearing what he called “partisan lawfare” waged against #Trump.
Blanche’s opening statement was an attack on the cases against Trump. “Politics should never play a role in the Department of Justice, but recently, in too many circumstances, it has,” he said [ –he’s right, just not in the way that he thinks.]
#Senate voted to advance #TulsiGabbard for #Trump’s director of national #intelligence, signaling the collapse of #Republican resistance to her nomination & placing her on a smooth path to #confirmation on Wednesday.

#DarrenBeattie spread #ConspiracyTheories about the #Jan6 #insurrection & posted on social media that "competent white men must be in charge" yet MarcoRubio tapped him to be acting undersecretary of state for public #diplomacy. The position requires #Senate #confirmation [like that means anything].

2 #Senate cmtes are set to decide Tues whether to advance 2 of #Trump’s most contentious cabinet picks to final #confirmation votes in the full chamber. The Finance Cmte is scheduled to vote at 10AM on the nomination of #RFKJr as #health secretary, & the #Intelligence Cmte is scheduled to vote this afternoon on the nomination of #TulsiGabbard as director of national intelligence.
I posted this yesterday, but I should have noted that my Cambridge Element ‘Probability and Inductive Logic’ is free to download for the next four weeks. Get amongst it!

The Washington Post · Kash Patel breaks with Trump on Jan. 6 clemency, defends record in Senate hearing
Here’s the start of my thread on #RFKJr’s #Senate #confirmation hearing for #HHS Secretary:
MastodonNonilex (@Nonilex@masto.ai)Senator #RonWyden, Democrat of Oregon & the top Democrat on the panel, goes directly at #RFKJr in his opening remarks. The question, he said, is “whether Robert F. Kennedy should be trusted with the health & well-being of the American people.” He said Kennedy has embraced “#ConspiracyTheories, #quacks, #charlatans,” saying that is especially true concerning the safety & efficacy of #vaccines.

The Washington Post · Tracking Trump’s Cabinet and administration nominations
"Throughout, #Vought’s disregard for the #confirmation process was evident in his unwillingness to engage with any substantive concerns about his plans or intentions. The hearing was a brutal display of how far the legislative branch has fallen from its place of prominence in the Constitution, as #GOP senators eagerly embraced a man who would prefer to see them made obsolete."

More Money more MONEY #BrettKavanaugh is working on legal #memoir at a time when #SupremeCourt is being increasingly scrutinized amid falling #public #trust. The #book, which isn't yet titled, is expected to be published in 2025/2026. Why it matters: Kavanaugh, 59, has been relatively quiet amid a host of controversies. Now he's expected to give his point of view on everything from the fracas over his 2018 #confirmation to the 2022 plot to kill him. https://www.axios.com/2024/06/06/scotus-brett-kavanaugh-writing-book-memoir?stream=top
