Typical WordPress. You need a plugin to secure it. And the plugin is probably a Trojan horse. 😂

Incredible easter egg in Google: If you search for "open sans font", the entire result page is set in Open Sans!

Glad to see @microsoft.com saying that TLS inspection is a bad solution to Data Leak Prevention. It puts way too much trust in the TLS inspection solution and basically breaks end-to-end encryption. Take note @zscalerinc.bsky.social and @cloudflare.social.

Is there any demonstration planned in front of the US embassy in Stockholm after Trump’s despicable and treacherous tweet?

From now on, I will start referring to myself as “GRILLY” (in caps and between quotes) instead of I/me. Classy.

Your “big, beautiful Ocean” didn’t help you much on 9/11. Everything in this post is despicable.

I know that in the OOP frenzy of the 90's (I joined the bandwagon as well), it seemed a good idea to see everything as objects and classes :) But in hindsight, it was just a mistake. C# already has namespaces, so why not let us declare functions directly, like in Kotlin, Swift, or Dart?
