On Thursday, I wrote a piece saying that Scattered Spider/ShinyHunters etc. were having a banner week, with so many news announcements connected to their hacks.
Then on Friday, news came down that the UK busted two of the top Scattered Spider hackers, and now this.

Any developer worth their salt knows that the outputting code is the easiest part of software development, and that code as an artifact has little value without everything that surrounds it: the people, the shared knowledge, the practices (both formal and informal), the infrastructure, the networks of trust, etc etc.
And yet!! like fools, we’ve got ourselves hung up on OSS licenses and copyright — the legal structures surrounding the code itself — as if code were in fact the only thing that really matters. As if we didn’t know better.

Hey all, there are some photos from a hike in the #schwarzwald
Actually we thought that it would just take us less than an hour - but it wasn't simply a straight walk :-D
It was raining from time to time - which was indeed pretty cool. A) there was noone around except us and B) the colors were often just insane. Fully saturated green, the brown from the wood - and sometimes…
Met Poetin hijgend in zijn nek en no-king protesten overal om hem heen reageert Trump als een kat in het nauw. Of, in zijn geval, meer als een rat in het nauw.

Because I’m seeing this in “serious” articles, Dyson spheres are—literally—a joke.
The paper from Freeman Dyson is literally a fully purpose-written joke making fun of early SETI efforts, with a cascade of ever more implausible assertions leading to “we should be surrounded with these spheres so let’s look for them”.
They’re a joke making fun of gullible people who don’t think things through.
Now gullible people who don’t think things through (like Sam Altman) are using the term like it’s a real thing that could actually work.

plant_pol_vazquez: Vazquez & Simberloff plant-pollinator webs
Eight bipartite networks of plants and pollinators, from the Nahuel Huapi National Park and surrounding areas in Rio Negro, Argentina, from September 1999 to Feburary 2000. Edge weights represent the frequency of species interaction, and there is a common set of vertices across all eight webs.
This network has 144 nodes and 31 edges.

Good morning!
Here are some photos from the #Mummelsee in the #Schwarzwald . We wanted to visit it last year already but somehow just managed to go there this time.
The lake itself is scenic and beautiful. But definitely a "hot spot". Luckily we were there at a day/time w…
