Web application firewalls (WAFs) are important pieces of software that stand between the application and the outside Internet. By doing so, they shield it from hackers and other malicious entities trying to break the application and access user data.
The cost of Republican lawmakers’ draft plan for sweeping tax cuts weighed in at $3.8 trillion over the next 10 years in one official estimate, a lowball projection that independent analysts say masks the true fiscal hit.

"Meta did have more work to do on “child grooming,” as we saw in a June 2019 deck titled, “Inappropriate Interactions with Children on Instagram.” An early page called out that “IG recommended a minor through top suggested to an account engaged in groomer-esque behavior.” Grooming refers generally to the tactics a child predator might use to gain trust with potential victims to sexually abuse them. Subsequent pages gave some broader data: “27% of all follow recommendations to groomers were minors.” There’s a lot we don’t know about this statement: how did Meta track accounts that were “groomers” or “engaged in groomer-esque behavior”? And why were those accounts allowed at all? How did they generate that statistic? And it’s important to caveat as well that perhaps Meta didn’t know that any potential groomers were actual criminals. But by any measure, the headline is troubling.
There was more data than that. 33% of Instagram comments reported to Meta as inappropriate were reported by minors, the deck said of a three-month period. Of the comments reported by minors, more than half were left by an adult. “Overall IG: 7% of all follow recommendations to adults were minors,” the deck concluded.
The presentation also noted that during a “3-month period”—presumably in 2019—2 million minors were recommended by Instagram’s algorithm for groomers to follow. 22% of those recommendations resulted in a follow request from a groomer to a minor. Doing some back of the envelope math, that’s approximately 440,000 minors over just a three-month period who received a follow request from someone Meta labeled as a “groomer.” That number is shocking even before being annualized."

The image features three rows of emoji faces, each labeled with text. The top row is labeled "Mexican People" and includes a variety of faces with different skin tones, hair colors, and styles, representing diversity. The middle row is labeled "Mexican people on TV" and shows a more limited range of faces, predominantly with lighter skin tones and blonde hair, suggesting a lack of diversity. The bottom row is labeled "Mexican people not on TV" and displays a wider range of faces, including darker skin tones and diverse hair colors, highlighting the underrepresentation of certain groups in media. The background is black, and the text is white, making the emojis stand out. The image is credited to "[@]SoMexican" at the bottom.

The video showcases a sequence from a video game, beginning with a "LEVEL SELECT" screen. The screen features a pink snake-like character with a checkered pattern, navigating through an underwater environment. The background is a gradient of green, simulating an underwater scene, with conical underwater structures visible. The top of the screen displays a "LEVEL SELECT" title with a series of colored rectangles, and the text "bf13e48" is visible in the top right corner. Below the snake, a stopwatch shows "00:03.528," a coin icon, and a "100%" icon, indicating the player's current time, collected coins, and perfect score, respectively. The word "INFINITUS" is prominently displayed at the bottom.
As the video progresses, the snake navigates through various levels, including "RAMPFALL" and "GIANT STEPS," with the stopwatch time increasing to "00:06.981." The snake's movement is smooth and continuous, demonstrating the game's mechanics. The environment remains consistent, with the underwater theme and conical structures unchanged.
The video concludes with the snake navigating a "HANDBRAKE TURN" level, where it maneuvers through a zigzag path made of pink platforms with a checkered pattern. The stopwatch time continues to increase, and the coin and "100%" icons remain visible, indicating the player's progress. The video effectively showcases the game's level selection and the snake's navigation through different levels, highlighting the game's visual and interactive elements.

No conflict of interest at all... - Of course NOT!!!
"One of Elon Musk’s employees is earning between $100,001 and $1 million annually as a political adviser to his billionaire boss while simultaneously helping to dismantle the federal agency that regulates two of Musk’s biggest companies, according to court records and a financial disclosure report obtained by ProPublica.
Ethics experts said Christopher Young’s dual role — working for a Musk company as well as the Department of Government Efficiency — likely violates federal conflict-of-interest regulations. Musk has publicly called for the elimination of the agency, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, arguing that it is “duplicative.’’
Government ethics rules bar employees from doing anything that “would cause a reasonable person to question their impartiality” and are designed to prevent even the appearance of using public office for private gain.
Court records show Young, who works for a Musk company called Europa 100 LLC, was involved in the Trump administration’s efforts to unwind the consumer agency’s operations and fire most of its staff in early February.
Young’s arrangement raises questions of where his loyalty lies, experts said. The dynamic is especially concerning, they said, given that the CFPB — which regulates companies that provide financial services — has jurisdiction over Musk’s electric car company, Tesla, which makes auto loans, and his social media site, X, which announced in January that it was partnering with Visa on mobile payments."
Records show that Chris Young is simultaneously working as a political adviser to Musk while serving in the Department of Government Efficiency, helping to gut the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

The fifth edition of FediForum has been rescheduled, and will be held on June 5-7. The event was originally planned for early April, but got cancelled at the last-minute after transphobic posts by one of the co-organisers of the event were surfaced. FediForum held two sessions in the meantime with the community on how the event should move forward. One of the outcomes is that there is now an advisory board for FediForum with people from the community. For this edition of FediForum, I will be hosting a session on what’s been going on in the fediverse in 2025. The network is constantly changing and evolving, and this session is intended to get you up to speed on what’s been happening in the last half year. More information on that soon.
Bandwagon talks about monetisation and sustainability
Bandwagon is a fediverse music sharing platform that’s currently in development, where artists can share their music. They are currently working on online album sales, and Bandwagon is committed to making this feature available without taking any transaction fees. In order for the project to be sustainable, Bandwagon is a paid 10$/month paid premium plan which will enable online album sales and higher bitrate streaming. At the same time, creator Ben Pate is also committed to keeping the software open source, and says that the project needs other Bandwagon servers to exist if the project is to be successful. – Bandwagon.fm
Discourse and the fediverse
Forum software Discourse has posted a blog talking about how they have integrated ActivityPub into their forums. They explain how Discourse forums can now select per category if it is federated, and thus followable by other fediverse software. It also shows what Discourse-to-Discourse federation looks like, allowing 2 forums to cooperate with each other. Federated forums require a mindset shift as have to get used to seeing forum posts in their microblogging timelines. Forum software like Discourse and NodeBB have made great strides in the technological capabilities regarding what’s possible with federated forums. Now people have to find out and experience what these technological features enable in practical use cases for people.
Bonfire slowly moves towards a 1.0 release
Bonfire is an upcoming fediverse platform, with a core functionality of microblogging with a focus on extensibility. In their latest update about how the platform is moving to a 1.0 release, Bonfire talks about the values and intentions of the platform, writing: “In a world of ‘move fast and break things,’ we’ve chosen a different tempo — one rooted in care, deep listening, and collective stewardship. Slow software means building for long-term resilience and meaningful participation, rather than chasing novelty, speed, or scale.”
Bonfire has taken a deliberate and mindful approach to software development, but their own description of “Slow Software” seems fairly accurate as well, as the team has talked about getting ready for a 1.0 release in the next few months since at least September 2023.
FediDB onboarding
Fediverse statistics site FediDB, operated by PixelFed and Loops creator Daniel Supernault, now has an onboarding tool to help people get started with the fediverse. It asks the user a few simple questions: first to select the type of content they are interested in, such as microblogging, video or forums. Based on that choice, it recommends various platforms. Based on the platform choice it asks for a few simple filters, such as region and community size, before presenting the user with a list of servers to choose from for registration.
The onboarding tool is sleekly designed, and streamlines the signup process by boiling it down to a few essential questions that the user needs to answer. However, this also showcases the issues that the fediverse has with onboarding new users: picking a platform and picking a server are meaningful choices that are hard to fully grasp the impact from as a new user. When it comes to picking a platform, the tool lists a few features for each platform, but comparing the relevance of these features is hard to do as an outsider. And when it comes to picking servers, the challenge is that servers themselves often do not publish relevant information that is needed to make an informed choice of which server to pick.

Yeah this one stings but it needs to be brought up, so we can make this way easier.
There's gotta be a way to design this so users can partly skip the process of searching for a good platform. Maybe using a controversial AI solution for recommending a platform based on some Keywords from the user? Maybe just based on a random algorithm for trusted servers? Maybe as you interact we make it easy to switch servers and as soon as you like the feed you can join?
There's gotta be something better. I hope we get there.
If we get to the point where people can overcome the entry barrier, I think this will also increase user retention and the overall fediverse literacy on the platforms themselves.
« Les personnes comme toi mériteraient d'être égorgées. » 👀
C'est la menace qu'aurait proféré l'ex-président de la FNSEA et de la chambre d'agriculture de Loire-Atlantique à l'égard d'une technicienne de l'environnement, selon @mediacites.
La scène rapportée par nos confrères se déroule le 4 février, à Missillac. Venant de réaliser des prélèvements de terre et de prendre des photos sur une parcelle, l'employée du bureau d'étude Hydro Concept s'apprête à reprendre la route. 1/
La technicienne se retrouve alors face à Alain Bernier et son fils Guillaume, qui bloquent la sortie des tracteurs.
Les deux hommes font effacer les photos de la technicienne, fouillent son véhiculent, volent son téléphone et lui arrachent son bonnet.
« Une discussion courtoise, mais tendue », se défend Alain Bernier auprès de nos confrères. Il faut qu'elle apprenne à travailler avec le monde agricole ».
Cette figure du syndicat agricole productiviste en Loire-Atlantique est défendue par le maire de Missillac, également président de la communauté de communes de Pontchâteau.
« Pour moi, il n'y a rien d'anormal à ce qui s'est passé. Il y a des parts de responsabilité des deux côtés. La famille Bernier, quand elle dit non, c'est non », déclare Jean-Louis Mogan.
D'après @OuestFrance, c'est d'ailleurs en mairie que le matériel volé a été restitué.
La nouvelle présidente FNSEA de la chambre d'agriculture, Carmen Suteau, défend son prédécesseur.
« Il n'aurait pas dû élever la voix, mais peut-être qu'il était fatigué, qu'il avait des problèmes personnels, et peut-être qu'aussi c'était une jeune femme un peu sensible. »
Peu de voix osent d'ailleurs dénoncer ces faits, observe Ouest-France, qui parle d'« omerta ».
Craignant une extension des terres protégées, certains agriculteurs, comme les Bernier, ont interdit l'accès à leurs parcelles dans le cadre d'un inventaire des zones humides piloté par le Syndicat du bassin versant du Brivet, chargé de l'animation du Sage.

Domenica 25 maggio, dalle 21:00 alle 23:00, presso cinema Nuovo Armenia, via Livigno, 9, 20158, Milano; e anche online, su nuovoarmenia.it/
Domenica 25 maggio h 21 presso il Cinema Nuova Armenia, lo studio Yoga Sharana presenta il film documentario “Real” di Adele Tulli selezionato alla 77a edizione del Festival di Locarno nella sezione Cineasti del presente. A seguire un intervento online della regista e un breve dibattito moderato da Maresa Lippolis.
Con questa prima iniziativa, Yoga Sharana intende avviare un percorso di riflessione su alcuni temi legati alla pratica dello yoga nel mondo moderno, quali il dibattito sulla mente-corpo, sulla consciousness, sull’intelligenza artificiale e la realtà virtuale.
Il film documentario “Real” sceglie come campo di indagine alcuni crocevia fra mondi materiali e virtuali, un viaggio alla scoperta di contesti diversi, allo stesso tempo familiari e stranianti. Giocando con i riflessi, le maschere, le deformazioni ottiche e il collage, il film riesce a descrivere il peculiare vortice in cui la realtà oggi si configura.
La posizione dello sguardo che la regista propone è quella di riconsiderare le nostre stesse posture, nell'intento di superare i pregiudizi e aprire le possibilità per nuove forme di soggettivazione e incantamento.
L’ingresso è gratuito. Sarà possibile lasciare una offerta per supportare le iniziative sociali dello studio Yoga Sharana

@monsoonrains Ok, I see this around about people getting mad about this specific issue. What I want to know is, why? I mean, I get the frustration that comes from not everyone knowing as much about autism as we'd like them to. But why take it out on individuals? If they don't know, they don't know. What else are they supposed to do instead? Two years ago I didn't know anything about the subject, and I am reasonably well educated, interested in many things, and psychology is one of my favorite topics. So if I didn't know, how are other people supposed to?
Our current understanding of autism is pretty recent, and it takes time for this information to trickle through the system and reach everybody. Heck, most health care professionals aren't even up to date with the latest like we are. We have the privilege of being in a community that can collect and disseminate this information rather quickly, but we have a vested interest in learning it. Other people don't. There's lots for them to know about, even in just the 'disabled' sphere. And yes, our education system should absolutely be better, but that's not really the fault of the individual.
So why not, instead of getting mad at people like this, we take the opportunity to inform them ourselves? No, it's not our responsibility. And no, it's not even fair. But it's the hand we're dealt, and we can either do something to improve the situation or just be mad at it and keep it this way. "It's better to light a candle than curse the darkness" as the saying goes.
And yes, I get that we may not always be in a position to do so, may not have the energy or communication ability at the time to do so. That's fine. You can even get mad because of the situation, that's natural. But there's still no reason to take it out on someone who says this. How is that helping?
Ein Mann sitzt auf dem Bürgersteig einer städtischen Straße, umgeben von einem geschäftigen Hintergrund mit Fußgängern und Autos. Er trägt einen dunklen Mantel und eine braune Decke, die ihn umhüllt. Seine Kleidung wirkt abgenutzt, und er sitzt auf einer alten Decke auf dem Boden. Der Mann hat ein langes, dunkles Haar und einen Bart. Er blickt nachdenklich in die Ferne. Im Hintergrund sind weitere Menschen zu sehen, die in verschiedene Richtungen gehen, und ein Taxi fährt vorbei. Die Szene vermittelt ein Gefühl von Einsamkeit und Armut inmitten einer belebten Stadt.

Un médiéviste lost in périodisation : j'interviendrai mardi à l'Oxford Spinoza Conference 2025, à propos du seul manuscrit conservé de “L'Éthique”, découvert à la Vaticane en 2010
The Oxford Spinoza Conference is dedicated to exploring the myriad manners in which Benedict Spinoza has contributed to the history of philosophy and continues to shape our understanding of the world.
Eh bien, l'Éthique n'a été publiée qu'à la mort de Spinoza en 1677, par ses amis. Donc il a bien fallu qu'ils utilisent un manuscrit de l'œuvre.
Mais on n'en connaissait aucun. Impossible donc de s'assurer que le texte est bien partout celui que Spinoza a écrit.
Mais un des manuscrits qui circulaient du vivant de Spinoza avait été livré au Saint-Office, toujours en 1677. De fait, à sa parution, l'Éthique a été rapidement condamnée.
Le manuscrit est resté dans les archives internes du Saint-Office pendant 245 ans.
Là-dessus, à la suite du tournant imposé par Léon XIII (👀) qui réouvre aux historiens la bibliothèque Vaticane et leur ouvre les Archives Secrètes Vaticanes, un gros transfert de fonds est opéré en 1922 depuis les archives du Saint-Office vers la bibliothèque Vaticane.
C'est une déclassification, en quelque sorte.
Sauf que, ben, y'a des centaines de documents, tout n'est pas très bien inventorié…
Donc même si les documents sont disponibles, de facto ils restent méconnus.
Il faut attendre 2010 pour qu'un chercheur, Leen Spruit, tique sur une description très sibylline d'un vieil inventaire.
Bingo — un manuscrit de l'Éthique.
Le Vat. lat. 12838 est devenu un des chouchous de la Vaticane : il est passé entre les mains expertes du labo de restauration (le pauvre en avait bien besoin !), puis du labo photo, et a intégré la très sélect Réserve des manuscrits.

The image shows a presentation slide titled "The path to CPU performance in PostgreSQL." The slide is divided into three columns: Step, Category, and Performance improvement method. The steps are numbered from 1 to 9, with each step associated with a specific category and performance improvement method. The categories include DBA, PostgreSQL hacker, Compiler hacker, CPU designer, and Lithography machine manufacturer, with the final step labeled "Laws-of-physics." The performance improvement methods range from tuning PostgreSQL configuration settings and optimizing indexes to designing faster CPUs and utilizing shorter wavelengths of light. The presenter, standing to the right of the slide, is holding a microphone and appears to be addressing an audience. The background features a curtain, and the setting suggests a conference or seminar environment.
