💡 Encryption IS online safety 💡
Keeping data secure is key when hackers are skilled at unpicking accounts.
So why does the UK government want to make us unsafe by ordering a backdoor to Apple encrypted services?

🚨 BREAKING 🚨
The UK is rogue in trying to order a backdoor to Apple encryption.
US lawmakers slam the UK's secretive order, calling it what it is:
🔥 'Dangerous' for global cybersecurity
🔥 'Effectively a foreign cyberattack'
The Home Office must back off ✋

New: I've analysed the source code for all 9 versions of Elite on the 6502, and I've put together a family tree showing the decade-long forking history of the source.
Software archaeology in action! 😀

This week's net.wars, "Isolate", signs the Global Encryption Coalition's letter opposing Britain's demand that Apple backdoor encryption on its cloud service worldwide, and imagines the worst possible timeline where it's coupled it with Ofcom's rules under the Online Safety Act: https://netwars.pelicancrossing.net/2025/02/14/isolate/. #NetWars #Ofcom #Encryption #Apple #UKPolice
I *swear* – with all my heart – no sarcasm –
I would buy a Lumon Terminal Pro from Apple. Take my money!
but never forget … there is no “escape” key on the Lumon keyboard.
I never thought I would post this one day but Apple Maps ratings are tanking in France after they decided it was ok to follow nazi Trump, and this makes me happy.
Apple leadership is destroying so much about their brand with this. Tim must leave now.

BREAKING: The UK government's attempt to hold the Apple encryption case entirely in secret has been REJECTED.
ORG, Big Brother Watch and Index on Censorship made a submission to the court arguing for open justice.
In a win for privacy rights, the court agrees.
It said it didn't accept “that the revelation of the bare details of the case would be damaging to the public interest or prejudicial to national security”.

One of the most damning things about the #Apple ruling yesterday is how basically every developer I've talked to is overwhelmingly *happy* with it.
The amount of goodwill that Apple has squandered is breathtaking. Actions have consequences, and this feels like the beginning of Apple's “Finding Out”.

Thank you Bill for all you’ve done. We’re running MacPaint today at the computer museum.
#Trump threatens 50% #tariffs on #EU & 25% penalties on #Apple as his #TradeWar intensifies
Trump on Fri threatened a 50% #tax on all imports from the #EuropeanUnion & a 25% tariff on Apple products unless #iPhones are made in US.
The threats, delivered on social media, reflect his ability to disrupt the #GlobalEconomy with an outburst of typing, & the reality that his tariffs have yet to produce the deals he is seeking or the return of domestic manufacturing.

Bill Atkinson's passing the week before WWDC is an unfortunate coincidence, but maybe it'll help reframe the company's enduring legacy on modern computing at a time when the company's leadership has, without question, lost the fucking plot.
Two years ago, I live-posted the WWDC keynote on Mastodon. I was excited to see what the Vision Pro would be.
Last year I sat it out. I had a scheduling conflict and the focus was going to be on AI, about which I couldn’t imagine anything that exciting being shown.
This year? 🤷♂️
