For those of you that despise Liquid Glass, there's a way to disable it on macOS Tahoe.

defaults write -g com.apple.SwiftUI.DisableSolarium -bool YES

This reddit thread has more info.https://www.reddit.com/r/macapps/comments/1nz6tco/open_source_disable_liquid_glass_with_solidglass/

The default. I struggle to read the text, which also runs into each other.

With “reduce transparency enabled”. Again, everything is exaggerated. Reduce transparency seems to completely eliminate it, not reduce it.

Liquid Glass looks cool in reviews, but is a hot mess on your own device. The thing I hate: everything’s exaggerated in the same way a five year old exaggerates. I have never used accessibility features and shouldn’t have to in order to fix broken design. Buttons, corners: 🤮. Too much wasted space.

Transparency Exchange API (TEA) Hackathon - Barcelona 2025 | CycloneDX Join us in Barcelona to test and shape the Transparency Exchange API, the next evolution in secure supply chain communication.

Program Overview / CVE Program & FIRST VulnCon 2025

Identifying software is hard!

I'll be on a panel with @stevespringett.bsky.social (OWASP), MegaZone (F5), and Christopher Turner (NIST) at VulnCon to talk about options for software identification in vulnerability management.

9:00 to 9:30 EDT, April 8th.

Honored to be discussing @cyclonedx.bsky.social and machine-readable attestations with Anchore this month. Join me! This is going to be fun and educational for anyone not familiar with CycloneDX Attestations (CDXA). This is an ideal solution for EO 14144 which requires machine-readable attestations.

Understood. And I will absolutely keep that in mind.

@hacks4pancakes.com, you gave one of the best keynotes yesterday at ChiBrrCon that I’ve seen in a very long time. Bravo. Told my wife and a few co-workers about it and the utterly raw impact it had on many in the audience. Any chance of an encore or recording in the future? Best wishes.

How to pass the OWASP MASVS verification by design?

The continued innovation happening in @cyclonedx.bsky.social is truly inspiring. This week, its from the cdxgen team with "cdx1", a family of open-source, SOTA machine learning (ML) models purpose-built for xBOM analysis, validation, and reasoning.

Why We Chose CycloneDX Over SPDX #sbom #cybersecurity worklifenotes.com/2025/01/21/w...

I have been on Twitter since Feb 2009 and today, I have deactivated the account. While I am unable to make public political statements, it's not that hard to figure out. The projects that I lead or co-lead will continue to have a presence on the site, but I will not.

📌 Excited to share my upcoming book, "Alice and Bob Learn Secure Coding," with you all! Learn from real-world examples, practical advice, and insightful anecdotes. Stay tuned for the release on Feb 5th! shehackspurple.ca/bo...

At the first ever KoalaCon @owasp.org shared insights into how TEA (Transparency Exchange API) can help automate your product lifecycle. This will be essential to dependency management and vulnerability management in the future. And you can be part of it! #cybersec #appsec #dependency-management

Some of the projects I'm involved with have establish bsky account recently. Check out:

OWASP CycloneDX (ECMA-424)
@cyclonedx.bsky.social

OWASP Dependency-Track
@dependencytrack.bsky.social

Ecma Technical Committee 54
@tc54.bsky.social

Yup that was me. Waited a long time just for the invite as well. Would check in from time to time, but over the last month it’s been really interesting to see the growth. Feeling optimistic.

Can't wait to merge the new #SBOM stuff into the EMBA master ... now with dependencies and much more included

If your company creates software that manage Software Bill of Material data - SBOMs - then you want to take part of the standardisation of an ECMA standard API for exchanging software transparency artefacts. Join us on November 25th! http://teaintro.even... #SPDX #SBOM #INTOTO #CYCLONEDX #OWASP

Congrats to the winners of this years election.

Ecma TC54 will be working towards standardizing Package URL, specifically purl, vers, and purl types. TC54 will be working out the details over the next few weeks. We invite everyone to learn more about TC54 and contribute to the advancement of Package URL.
