'This WIRED guide to safe protesting was originally written in 2020 during the nationwide outcry over police brutality, which overwhelmingly targets Black people like George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Tony McDade. We’ve now updated this guide to include advice specific to mass action, your rights and protections as a US citizen, protesting in or around government property, and laws around defacing property (like, say, a Tesla).'

Prompt engineering isn’t just typing—it’s a craft. This post offers a guide on best practices, teasing a deeper resource if you engage. It’s about avoiding common pitfalls (vague inputs, overcomplicating) and building prompts that scale. For pros, this is a chance to refine your process and turn AI into a reliable tool, not a guessing game. https://x.com/jacob_posel/status/1900373868910698991 #PromptCraft #AIpro #BestPractices ~
#legal #WebScraping #EU #BestPractices
'At The Markup, some of our data journalists recently had questions about the legal risks involved in scraping websites hosted in the European Union. We conducted our own research to answer this question, and offer a summary of what we learned below. Our goal is to help other journalists, researchers, and advocates come up with a low-risk strategy for scraping in the EU.'

My god, I just realized one of the simplest opsec things you can do (something I've been doing for years and don't even think about anymore) is set your browsers to open links in private/secure instances AS A DEFAULT.
If it needs to be opened in a window that you want to keep open or bookmark, you can always manually copy and paste it.
It makes no sense to be using a secure shared tool like cryptpad, if you're just gonna open it where you're logged in as you.
Remember the #SocialEngineering motto:
If there are people, there are security holes.
Some people here on NSFW Mastodon need to understand a few things:
1. You are not exempted from using Content Warnings with clear indications.
2. People looking for NSFW content are not necessarily looking for _your_ content.
3. They might even dislike it, or worse, it might even "turn them off" (or even worse than that).
So, when posting, please remember to use CW and clear tags. You will still retain your audience and the experience will remain fun for everybody.
Thanks!

Over-engineering takeaways:
Misjudging future requirements can lead to inappropriate abstractions. Avoiding over-engineering can be as impactful as achieving technical brilliance.Simplicity is key to maintainability.Avoid predicting needs that aren't certain.Create abstractions that align with current and reasonable future requirements.

surely one of you #infosec peers has a guide or article on why #VPN services aren't the privacy silver bullet they often advertise themselves to be. something that mentions you're paying co-conspirators to #mitm your own traffic in addition to lowering the reputation to that of your new address space?
