Paint​.NET is now at https://t.co/ZJTUII4bVG!

Well, it will be just as soon as I push all the buttons to migrate content and set up redirects from getpaint​.net etc. For now it's just a "hey go here" redirect page.

What if the Polish government built GitHub

[Tommi @tommithetechie]

This machine is the Mazovia 1016. A classic IBM PC/XT clone produced in Poland around 1986!

Because standard IBM code pages at the time didn't properly support the Polish language while keeping software UI elements intact, engineers had to invent a customer "Mazovia encoding". It preserved the block graphics characters so that popular DOS software would still display perfectly while allowing users to type Polish letters.

Google is turning Android into a walled garden. Mandatory ID, registration fees, and a 9-step 'advanced flow' for sideloading? That's not security, it's a monopoly move. https://t.co/gvikjGEp8c @AlteredDeal #KeepAndroidOpen

I ported my game "Ants" to Raspberry Zero, with #PiLibSDK bare-metal SDK library, for #ZeroTiny and #ZeroPC consoles. Game matches original version as closely as possible - primarily 640x480 graphics. Czech version is also available, as in the original. https://t.co/tTU4A8OxeI

Sad news. My friend Simon who did the original bird for Twitter, Octocat for GitHub and Redid Sammy The Shark for DigitalOcean has passed away, he was 56.

He was a great guy. What a loss.

WireGuardNT v0.11 and WireGuard for Windows v0.6 have been released: https://t.co/frTtoylDU4

[vx-underground @vxunderground]

Microsoft suspended the developer account for WireGuard (and also VeraCrypt).

Why? Literally nobody knows. Presumably it's because Microsoft hates everyone and wants us all to suffer.

[Edge Security @EdgeSecurity]

WireGuard has some big updates ready to go on Windows, our first on the platform in nearly 4 years. We've done some nice modernizations and improvements, fixed bugs, added features, updated the toolchain, and more. But our release is currently blocked by @Microsoft.

The recent thread on Hacker News encouraged me to write this up, rather than just grumbling to myself privately about it as I have the last two weeks.

I logged in to get the WireGuardNT driver signed -- a necessary step for driver authors -- and was greeted by this vague message that the account has been suspended. Looking further into it, it seems like they instituted an identity verification policy, didn't notify me about it, and then I guess they suspended accounts who didn't do the verification. So of course I did the ID card verification immediately, but now an appeal is necessary. The appeals process requires filing a support ticket, but filing a support ticket requires a non-suspended account... Catch-22, eventually resolved by filing one through Azure and getting it rerouted to the right department. That was two weeks ago. Now they've told me there's a 60 day appeal review period. Wish us luck!

It's a little crazy, because what if there was some critical ring 0 RCE vuln that was being exploited in the wild and that needed to be patched immediately? (Just hypothetical; there isn't.) In that case, telling users "sorry, you've got to wait 60 days" would be sort of bad. And users of WireGuard for Windows are also Microsoft Windows users, so I can't see how this is good for Microsoft either. I think it must just be a case of bureaucracy gone slightly off the rails. Happens.

If any Microsofters are able to make this take not-sixty-days, please do get in touch.

[Windscribe @windscribecom]

It appears @Microsoft is actively suspending developer accounts with no warning or reason of various security tools like VeraCrypt, WireGuard and also Windscribe. We've had this VERIFIED account for 8+ years to sign our drivers.

We've been trying to resolve this for over a month, and getting nowhere. Support is non-existent. Anyone know a human with a brain that still works at Microsoft and can help?
