Done Since 2021-10-10
It's been a rough week for some of you -- let's just say that the links I posted Thursday (see notes) were needed by more than one person on my reading list. It hasn't been too bad for me, though there were a couple of sad anniversaries that I posted about on Tuesday, and the Mukilteo-Clinton ferry route drops to one-boat service, which sucks for everyone (including me) who needs to go between Whidbey Island and the mainland.
Some links: White papers like Bugs in our Pockets: The Risks of Client-Side Scanning should not be necessary. Apple should know better. White papers (rants?) like Can light gray text on light gray backgrounds please stop being a thing? should also be unnecessary.
And in news of the stupid, Missouri governor demands prosecution for data breach report • The Register. The "breach" in question was using "view source" on a state Department of Education web app, which revealed about 100,000 full social security numbers.
