YouTube video by Rick Astley Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up (Official Music Video)

Wow: after 15 years, YouTube has taken down the original 'Rick Roll' video due to a "licensing issue," likely due to the acquisition of Astley's record lable.

The metadata remains, but if you click through it goes to 'video not found':

Age yourself with your first computer.

The first computer I owned on my own isn't too retro (HP Stream laptop) but the first one I ever used was this HP Pavilion my parents owned. Or at least some variant of it, I just remember it being blue and gray and running Windows 95/98/ME

'We're citizens!': Oklahoma City family traumatized after ICE raids home, but they weren't suspects A woman says her family’s fresh start in Oklahoma turned into a nightmare after federal immigration agents raided their home, taking their phones, laptops, and life savings – even though they were …

Please highlight this story.

ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago.

Use Signal unless you have an explicit reason not to and can explain that reason. If you can't, your reason is probably bad. Use Signal.

(Good reasons include "I am legally compelled to use something else", "I have an incredibly specific threat model and am a target of governments" and so on)

The Signal leak is a prime moment for Democrats to get caught trying. Call for resignations or impeachment hearings or both. Be omnipresent in the media demanding and explaining accountability measures. Don’t let this fade away. Treat this the way the GOP treated Hillary’s emails. Make it a thing.

Hey BlueSky!

I case you missed it:

I've created cspbypass.com
A site where you can search for known CSP bypass gadgets to gain XSS.

It already contains a bunch of useful gadgets with contributions from your favourite hackers.

If you have some CSP bypasses to share, feel free to contribute!

Decided to try out GNU IceCat out of sheer curiosity. So far the amount of annoying popups and broken sites stemming from extensions that block all non LibreJS Javascript have made me realize that "full free software" projects like this are purely for RMS and friends and useless for everyone else.

Peter Todd Is in Hiding After a Documentary Named Him as Bitcoin’s Creator To hear the software developer tell it, being outed as Satoshi has radically changed his life.

Imagine being so dead set on unmasking Satoshi Nakamoto that you irresponsibly claim an engineer is them, and double down when people call bullshit, causing him to go into hiding because people keep harassing him.

TL;DW: Linux laptop seller Malibal talked to some firms about porting Coreboot to their laptops after having issues doing it in house, and got unreasonably pissy with them when it didn't go their way, and now they are banning the firms' respective countries and states from buying their laptops.

How tech companies would be affected by the Kids Online Safety Act NPR's Don Gonyea talks with reporter Lauren Feiner at The Verge about the updated Kids Online Safety Act. It has strong bipartisan Senate support, but critics worry about privacy and censorship.

β€œParadoxically, what KOSA does is it removes the ability for teens and children to find information when they are experiencing the very sort of health problems and other problems that KOSA is trying to address,” EFF’s @aaronmackey.bsky.social told @npr.org.
