At best, opening AMP's governance is about corps scratching each other's backs.

At worst, AMP is the proprietary web.

And now they plan to strong arm the rest of us into using it.

RT @mathemaniac@twitter.com: A joke with potential.

RT @SmallCatgirl@twitter.com: i wanted to see what music was on voyager and like.... this is kind of sad.

we sent music to aliens in the 70s but we're not allowed to listen to it because "lol copyrights"

So that flaw about Signal for macOS storing messages? It's macOS's fault. It stores notification text to disk. 🤦♀️

And it's likely it's anything that uses the notification API. Aren't closed source, inauditable OSes great!?

"Soft skills" is a drearily boring name for what is effectively a class of social engineering. Sometimes it really is better and easier for a client to change their behavior a little than to paste some tech around obstinacy.

RT @melocotonki@twitter.com: Happy new year everyone!
One of my resolutions is to stop stressing so much about age and just try my best ✨
