The behaviour of @protonprivacy CEO Andy Yen towards Proton employees is unacceptable. Not to mention the consequences of his current mindset for the quality and safety of Proton's products and services in the future.

Anthropic has renamed its "Max 20x" plan to "Ultra", while actually halving the weekly usage limit, from 20 times the "Pro" plan's to 10 times, but keeping its price.

This happens on the same day the Financial Times reports Anthropic's IPO is likely to receive a Junk credit rating.

Things are looking great for them!

Another JavaScript nightmare has just been released.

Cloudflare states that "Precursor is [...] built with privacy in mind [...]". The privacy guarantees?

"The event listeners capture the minimum information needed to be a useful signal for detecting automation and abuse. For example, keyboard activity is captured as timing and rhythm, not as the actual keys pressed."

Really?!

I have just been misled by a deceiving Shop (Shopify) UI/UX to create an account and to have my name, address, and credit card information saved to their systems. I only noticed the "Not now" after clicking on "Pay now".

What is even that "Not now"? A hyperlink? It is definitely not a button or a checkbox, and it was definitely intentionally designed to be misleading and to divert attention.

This should be illegal!

Does Android keep a log of received notifications? If so, does it delete that log upon the deletion of an app?

This is a very interesting video from #Vox on lessons the United States could learn from Brazil's experience fighting authoritarianism.

In both countries, mobs attacked the capital in an insurrectionist attempt to keep their defeated leader in power.

Today, #Bolsonaro is in jail, while #Trump is in the White House sowing chaos everywhere.
