Want up to €158,000 in funding to work on open source?

https://new.prototypefund.de/en/ is offering €158k over 10 months or €95k over 6 months to fund OSS projects related to data security & software infrastructure. Applications opened yesterday, first round deadline is the start of January.

Android 14 is going to create some big problems for devs, testers, reverse engineers, researchers, and anybody else who likes being able to debug their HTTP: https://httptoolkit.com/blog/android-14-breaks-system-certificate-installation/

Turns out that Web Environment Integrity proposal everybody is getting angry about (imo very legitimately) was effectively already shipped by Apple in Safari last year: https://httptoolkit.com/blog/apple-private-access-tokens-attestation/

That means if Chromium ships it too, we could quickly move to 90%+ of browser traffic being attested. Not good!

@rysiek Surely those rules themselves are part of the joke.

https://brands.town/@northropgrumman/109350050771003964 for example seems unlikely to have been approved by corporate PR. And https://brands.town/@Microsoft/109349870223193274 is offering "Bloodtype sign-in" for the next Windows release, while https://brands.town/@apple literally just says "The joke is we have no posts" ? It's all a bit postmodern & weird, but it's definitely parody.
