Statement on 4 Years of GDPR
Muffins with cake-candles and the text: Anniversary! 4 Years of GDPR

When the GDPR became applicable on 25 May 2018, it was perceived as a watershed moment. The past 4 years have shown that a law alone does not change business models.

html buttons exist, no script tag required, you can use them, you are allowed, your js can use them too

Firefox on Linux recently introduced a "feature" that fades out the scrollbar if you don't move your mouse. If you're like me and don't like invisible scrollbars, you can simply deactivate this "feature".

Click on the address bar and type "about:config" (without the quotes, obviously). Agree to be careful. Search for "apz.gtk.kinetic_scroll.enabled" and toggle the entry from "true" to "false" by double-clicking it. Just close the about:config tab and you're done

thank you, good to know. i don't use FF a lot, but when i do, i don't like disappearing things. either it's there, or it isn't. no fading in and out for me.

Quick question for #infosec people: When assigning a CVSS score for a Stored XSS vulnerability in a web app does it make sense to set scope to changed (S:C) or unchanged (S:U)?

Found the answer in the CVSS Users Guide (RTFM!):

A Scope change occurs when a vulnerability in a web application impacts user clients, e.g., web browsers. Common vulnerabilities of this type include cross-site scripting and URL redirection. The vulnerability is in the web application, but there is an impact to the data/behavior of the victim users’ web browsers, which are within a different security scope.

Nå jeg kigger ud i krydset her, få jeg sådan en underlig fornemmelse om at det ikke er et særligt sikkert kryds.
Gad vide hvorfor? Hmm

I've cast my vote, but I feel it's a bit unfair to everybody else who also deserved a vote. But I guess that's the harsh realities of competitions. By taking part I think everyone's a winner!

This has been really inspiring! Thanks to @TQ 🎹 for organizing, and to all the awesome musicians taking part!

@harald I agree, and we'll be working on the voting system next year.

That is precisely why I dislike art contests. How do you determine which piece (of music, which painting, which movie etc.) is the best? It's not something you can measure, and mostly it comes down to taste. And why does someone have to be the best? Do we really need competition in art?

@TQ 🎹 I'm not really sure the voting system needs changing. It's challenging when you have to limit it to only one, but that also makes it apparent that the vote is also a sacrifice. While it would feel nice to give a thumbs up to everybody, that would also make it less fun I guess. :)

@Tanja

And why does someone have to be the best? Do we really need competition in art?

This is my typical reaction too, but somehow I feel different about it this time. For me personally this was a small push to give me the motivation to actually make some music again. Not so much the competition aspect of it, but that somebody organises something and it brings out other creative people to create something together. We may have made the songs individually or in small groups, but the result is something created collectively.

This could of course be done without the voting and the competition around it, but as long as it is kept friendly and fun I think it adds a little excitement and fun to it.

@TQ @harald The only thing I could wish for, is a longer voting period.

Someone pointed out that it's a good idea for accessibility for us to post our #fedivision lyrics so here's mine :

[Verse]
I floated high up in the sky and I saw everything
You came a long and set me down, you were my favorite thing
I cannot run, I cannot hide, I'm under that spotlight
I was aiming high you pulled me down and now I cannot fight

1/3?
