Finally *extremely* happy to announce that my book on the history of concepts of chance in evolutionary theory will be coming out (maybe even this year!). Read more about the project here: https://blog.pencelab.be/2021/the-rise-of-chance-in-evolutionary-theory-under-contract/

If you think you should skip the #COVID19 vaccine, my DMs are open. I will try to convince you to reconsider. No pressure. But let me try to answer your questions and give you the information you need from reputable sources. I’ll explain all the details. #GetVaccinated💉

@clacke Yes. And mRNA isn’t experimental technology. A solid 30+ years of research and application are on the books. The mRNA vaccines have full approval in the EU, not emergency use like in the US. @niclas

@datenteiler apparently, the app is based on a framework and the same company also made more or less identical apps with identical security issues for the CSU and the Volkspartei in Austria.

Looks like this is from May, but the CDU is pursuing this now. That's not really getting any better.

In Germany researcher Lilith Wittmann found vulnerabilities in a campaignig app used by the CDU the largest conservative party. She reported them to the developers of the app.

Now she has received a letter by law enforcement informing her on an ongoing investigation in which she is named as defendant. The CDU has filed a criminal complaint. They think Lilith has hacked their app. This is the state of digitalisation in Germany. 🤦🤦‍♂️🤦‍♀️

Apparently Zoom straight up lied about conferences being E2E encrypted, and didn’t tell anyone that they were passing personally identifiable data to Facebook & Google for years.

They have just had their ass handed to them by the FTC, and members of a class action lawsuit will be receiving compensation. Also… maybe don’t use Zoom unless your employer makes you. 😬
