「fediverse を守るための新たな安全保障基金が設立される」: #TechCrunch
「マストドン(Mastodon)、メタのスレッド(Meta's Threads)、ピクセルフィード(Pixelfed)、その他のアプリを含むオープン・ソーシャル・ウェブとして知られるフェディバース(fediverse)は、そのセキュリティを強化している。
水曜日に、オープンソースプロジェクトにガバナンスをもたらすことに焦点を当てた非営利団体Nivenly Foundationは、フェディバースのアプリやサービスに影響を与えるセキュリティの脆弱性を責任を持って開示した人に支払う新しいセキュリティファンドの立ち上げを発表した。
すべてのソフトウェアがセキュリティ上の問題を抱えている可能性がある一方で、オープンソースで分散型のXの代替であるMastodonは、長年にわたって数多くのバグを修正してきたため、このようなプログラムの必要性につながっている。 」

In addition, please see this important thread from @teslatakedown.com about staying safe during protests:

Finally, this #TechCrunch article has good advice:
“…protesters [are advised] to put their wellbeing first. Leave if you feel unsafe, adhere to your local protest regulations, don’t trespass, follow police orders, and have a lawyer’s number in your back pocket just in case, she said.”

FYI - if you have a #Yahoo account or an account with any of their "family of companies" (#AOL, #Rivals, #Engadget, #InTheKnow, #TechCrunch, and #Makers), you have until April 6 (or maybe a day earlier) to opt out of the binding arbitration agreement that Yahoo recently added to their Terms of Service. The way to opt out is to e-mail disputes@yahooinc.com with the subject line “ARBITRATION OPT-OUT”.
