Beautiful spring day in the Santa Cruz Mountains. The hummingbirds have been very active lately.

One historical tidbit: Figma in the browser was possible because of WebGL, which came from work done at Mozilla in 2006 by my friend and absolute great human Vlad Vukicevic (not on twitter anymore). https://t.co/6kc59KphIi

He saw ages before anyone else did what was possible.

@xvonfers We're manually checking to see if other security bugs from that era have a similar problem.

[Dan Veditz @dveditz]

@xvonfers Thanks for catching that—fixed it.

Normally we unhide a sec bug after users have had time to update. Bug 552216 was opened early because a 3rd party report was already public, and our sec-bug unhiding process didn't notice the old hidden POC.

@ggweather Gorgeous!

@CHPscrz @OTS_CA @CHP_Coastal NHTSA says bicyclist injuries went down after Idaho and Delaware adopted "Idaho stop" laws.

Yes, bicyclists must obey all traffic laws, but the current laws are not always the safest.

@emptywheel Work-around: an invasion would come out of the defense budget, and who in DC is going to cut that?

[Dan Veditz @dveditz]

@BlackHC Thanks so much for this thread--it's nice to know to expect it and that "resistance to facts" is not always simple pig-headedness

[Dan Veditz @dveditz]

@Thinkwert What a melodious language. Very nice

@NativeSantaCruz The official alert seems to stop at Davenport, but definitely be careful. Will get to SF at 12:10 so a little after that

@deadskycrypto @BBCWorld Nothing. The crazy American lady lived 170 miles away.

Opening the door and seeing this was a nice start to the day #rainbow

@kiru_io @mitchellh @thorstenball I could almost accept "joot" if the author of the RFC was Welsh. Or maybe "jote" if it were lowercase and they wanted to treat 'w' as "omega-ish".

Definitely not "jot". Creators can be wrong (cf. GIF)

[Meredith Whittaker @mer__edith]

Case in point: there's no way to build a backdoor that only the "good guys" can use.

When the entire technical community says that the EU's ChatControl legislation + similar pose serious cybersecurity threats, we're not exaggerating for effect.

Supreme Court on trans people: Broad injunctions are bad and the law can only be blocked for two individual trans kids rather than the whole state.

Supreme court on blocking student loan reform and right wing priorities: Broad injunctions are great! Apply them nationwide!

@JKSteinberger @mpfix1 There are ~4 pies in that pie. A neat trick for folks living in small apartments where refrigerator space is at a premium.

[Matthew Green @matthew_d_green]

I’d like it not to be true, but serious national security folks keep warning that the US is a few years away from possible cyber conflict with China. If that’s true, we shouldn’t be destroying the US research labs that work in this area.
