Newspapers/websites just want to make money and people tend to read articles that frighten them and/or make them angry. Be careful with what you read/watch and verify with actual statistics.

I put myself on a news-diet a few months back and it massively improved my life. Instead of worrying about the world burning and feeling unable to do anything about it, I have much more energy to actually do things I like and/or find important and am also much more able to invest in deep relationships with friends. I cannot recommend it enough.

Important news will get to you anyway, there is no need to check news outlets every 5 minutes.

Still too many in favour

This article talks about "typosquating", that just means they introduced packages with a similar name to other packages but in this case also containing malicious code.

I expect other package managers to be just as vulnerable to this. The only way I can think of to mitigate this is very strict registry policies, someone checking all version of all packages in the registry to make sure there is no malicious code in them. That would take a lot of effort.

I think the biggest problem with npm is just that it is very popular, so for attackers the chance of hitting something with their attack is bigger than with other systems.

I don't believe yarn is any more secure than npm, especially not for this type of attack. Yarn used to be a bit more secure because it checked checksums where npm didn't, but that has been added to npm as well now (https://sebhastian.com/npm-err-code-eintegrity/)

Ahh Persona again...

Cambridge Analytica accusing Brave? Who is the bad guy in this story? I am confused.

May all Musk's businesses have the same results. Amen.

Land of the free

Surprised she got through the background checks 😬. I think the MIVD would normally not accept people if their family did what hers did. She seems cool though

1945: the US defeats the Nazis 80 years later: just kidding, the US became the Nazis.

What are you doing about it? We all know how it's going to turn out.

Yeah so this wasn't easy for the Netherlands either. They just started trying earlier, so they had more time to fail and try again. This would maybe not fly anymore in a newly designed street in the NLs now, but it sure as heck looks a lot like some older roads in the Hague that are still waiting on their update to the new guidelines.

So well done guys, you are def. going in the right direction with this 🙏.

The only thing you could maybe argue is why they are not just asking for a bit of help from a Dutch road designer during the design process. I mean, the knowledge is all there already, why not use it? 😉

Why a battle? Why not both? More cyclists=less drivers=more space for remaining drivers + happy people because they are cyclists.

It's available in some places in NL, like bigger Albert Heijn supermarkets and some cafes, but not too many.
