Interesting analysis: When cyber incidents occur, victims should be notified in a timely manner so they have the opportunity to assess and remediate any harm. However, providing notifications has proven a challenge across industry. When making notifications, companies often do not know the true identity of victims and may only have a single email address through which to provide the notification. Victims often do not trust these notifications, as cyber criminals often use the pretext of an account compromise as a phishing lure. […] This report explores the challenges associated with developing the native-notification concept and lays out a roadmap for overcoming them. It also examines other opportunities for more narrow changes that could both increase the likelihood that victims will both receive and trust notifications and be able to access support resources...

Fall guy is a colloquial phrase that refers to a person to whom blame is deliberately and falsely attributed in order to deflect blame from another party.

A related term was "patsy", which typically (but not exclusively) referred to someone set up before the fact to take a fall, as opposed to simply being left "holding the bag" when something went wrong in carrying out a crime.

Gigantic cracks known as gullies are opening up in cities in Africa, swallowing up homes and businesses, sometimes in an instant, a study has found.

A new study published in Nature has revealed just how enormous this threat has become, focusing on the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Scientists mapped 26 cities across the country and found an astonishing 2,922 massive gullies, each one a scar across the urban landscape. These are not small erosions; they are immense chasms that can stretch hundreds of meters, tearing apart entire communities. And they are spreading.

Between 2004 and 2023, these gullies displaced nearly 118,600 people in the DRC alone. Entire families have been forced to leave homes passed down through generations, while the land beneath their feet collapses into voids. The danger is accelerating—today, 3.2 million people live in areas at risk of being swallowed, double the number from just over a decade ago.

Trump has now approved more than 30 major natural disaster declarations since taking office in January. Before the latest batch, his approvals had averaged a 34-day wait from the time the relief was requested. For his most recent declarations, that wait ranged from just 15 days following an aid request for Wisconsin flooding in August to 56 days following a tribal request for Montana flooding that occurred in May.

From the “mammy” and “jezebel” to the “magical negro” and “tragic mulatto,” these onscreen portrayals have consistently reinforced racist ideas all while negatively shaping how mainstream (read: non-Black) audiences perceive Black lives in real life. Despite the many achievements and progress that Black entertainers have amassed, those archetypes have still found their way in various television and movies, positioning Black characters in service to white storylines–which only threaten to flatten our complexity with every line.

It’s because of that, that we decided to round up a handful of the worst examples of these tropes that we’re over and done with seeing in Hollywood. While we know us calling it out won’t immediately erase these works, at least by pointing out the patterns–we can hopefully demand and create better representation moving forward.

The Everyday Anarchism podcast had an episode, Tolkien's Romantic Anarchy, that gave me very many thoughts & feelings that I'm going to barf out here.

Yes, Tolkien is a Catholic fossil who built a world of eugenic-flavored world of racialized and patriarchal hierarchy, but you can tell he didn't want to live in Minas Tirith with the courtly remnants of the Numenorians. He wanted to live in the Shire, where the fanciest gentlehobbits still had relationships with their farmer neighbors and gardeners.

They were talking about how most people, conservative, liberal, or progressive, idealize that village life with lots of relationships and nature. (Put a pin in that.) Because obviously that's how the fascists reel em in, the weaponized airbrushed fairytale picture of the free, good life, where the men are men, and the slurs and the scapegoats are pushed out.

But in trying to avoid that pitfall, we leftier people lose out on that joy of second breakfasts and frolicing around in waistcoats and dirndls. I am that bitch whose algorithm is narrowed down on all the hobbitcore and cottagecore and crafting content and is dangerously close to the tradwife pipeline. I live in the tension where I'm next door to the fun cosplay queers but also the conspiracy theorists who want me trap me in the kitchen as a pregnant household appliance.

But because the people yearn for the village life, we need that playful imagination to apply to urban living. We need a nice version of RETVRN in small towns where they have the freedom from car dependence (choo choo MF) and aren't desperate and scrabbling to afford the cheapest shit shipped in from overseas. My ass is from a long line of sedentary dirtstratchers, but I'm fascinated with how long humanity lived (and is sometimes currently living) in semi-nomadic patterns for millions of years and what that might look like in the modern age with a preference for plumbing and lugging all the sweet, sweet modern gadgets around. (I'm not in the camping hobby, so I don't know what kind of hobbyist infighting they have about low-tech or high-tech.)

I need people to do more of this creative play with me, preferably people who are better about getting them words out and published on AO3 or other platforms. (I quit Wattpad a million years ago, and I don't know what good options there are for original fics.)

Just proving that Kash Monopoly Money is nothing more than a partisan unfunny joke.

So I've been looking at upgrading my PC and it looks like I can get a better "micro" pc than my current (ancient) desktop for significantly less money than a full blown gaming rig. An example of such a rig is this.

I don't have high gaming requirements - I play mostly old games, I think the newest games I play are from 5+ years ago.

What reasons are there for not buying one of these (over a comparable "proper" desktop)?
