An evening of allowing the magic to happen, while I stay the fuck out of the way. Beer aged well, sweetness was subtle, with a boozy sticky caramel taste.

This story needs more traction. The idea of a digital ID is nothing short of idiotic. Our personal identifiable information needs to stay private, not for government and big businesses consumption
The Labour government's favourite Digital ID scheme was hacked

People are worried the government's Digital ID scheme will open Britons up to increased security risks.

Given what happened in Estonia, we should be.

And now Trump himself is trying to blame this on Signal: "I think Signal could be defective, to be honest with you."

Don't shoot the (encrypted) messenger.👇
If we're actually calling this SignalGate, felt compelled to make this point:

“Signal is a tool. If you misuse a tool, bad things are going to happen," says @matthewdgreen.bsky.social. "If you hit yourself in the face with a hammer, it’s not the hammer’s fault."

SignalGate Isn't About Signal
The Trump cabinet’s shocking leak of its plans to bomb Yemen raises myriad confidentiality and legal issues. The security of the encrypted messaging app Signal is not one of them.

Signal is famous for knowing as little about its users as possible. The app isn’t hoarding metadata, tracking you, or showing you ads.

President @meredithmeredith.bsky.social sees a shift underway as the monoliths of big tech lose popularity and the old economics of Silicon Valley become brittle.
With Threats to Encryption Looming, Signal’s Meredith Whittaker Says ‘We’re Not Changing’
At WIRED’s The Big Interview event, the president of the Signal Foundation talked about secure communications as critical infrastructure and the need for a new funding paradigm for tech.
