We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. signal.org/blog/pdfs/ge...

Neither Home Depot nor eBay understand how people use passkeys. I have passkeys set up with both: eBay never presents me with the option, Home Depot doesn't trigger 1Password, only the browser-stored option (I'm guessing... no other site acts that way)

Is there a good, plain 'ol CSS formatter out there, especially one that's NOT based on JS? I don't love pulling those tools into my projects, would prefer a statically compiled tool.

The mathematician Lingrui Ge recently helped find a new way to understand the solutions of almost-periodic functions, important equations that appear in quantum physics. The work has helped cement an intriguing connection between number theory and physics. www.quantamagazine.org/ten-martini-...

My daughter came home from her first day of 4th grade yesterday having learned about the Hailstone Sequence. It took me a bit to remember it's "real" name, the Collatz Conjecture. I wish I were in 4th grade again.

@sockpuppet.org from the last SCW episode, I'm curious to hear how Firefox is less secure? Is there a good place to read up on that specifically? Thanks!
