Q-Day — the day someone builds a quantum computer that can crack the most widely used forms of encryption — could happen in the next decade according to cybersecurity experts. That means everything could become vulnerable, for everyone. @WIRED has the story. #Cybersecurity #QDay #Tech #Technology #DataPrivacy https://flip.it/stmSHG

23&Me has filed for bankruptcy.
The company has been rejecting any buyout attempts, but their Board of Directors is now saying that a Court-supervised sale is the best path forward. Part of the reason for their financial troubles was a 2023 #DataBreach that affected millions of customers and hurt their credibility in the marketplace.
Yesterday, California's A.G. reminded consumers that they have the right to demand their data be deleted and that 23&Me destroy any genetic samples. (I would add that you also have the option of downloading your #DNA data and then uploading it to #GedMatch .)

NH has these data laws too. Consider deleting your data from 23&Me if you haven’t already.
From the link:
“California has robust privacy laws that allow consumers to take control and request that a company delete their genetic data,” said Attorney General Bonta. “Given 23andMe’s reported financial distress, I remind Californians to consider invoking their rights and directing 23andMe to delete their data and destroy any samples of genetic material held by the company.”

I have been thinking about this article all morning. Maybe everyone already knows this but I found this to be so interesting. I always wondered how they rejected people for immigration over social media posts, this is really creepy.

I am using @Vivaldi as my main browser on #Mac, #iPadOS and #iOS now for 2 weeks and it is an absolutely brilliant experience and there’s also a great community and top feelgood factor. Will keep it and move on from #Safari and #Firefox. #europeanalternatives #vivaldi #vivaldibrowser #dataprivacy #Europe
It seems pretty obvious now that these ads for jobs are literally just data mining so they can sell your data. They don’t have open jobs, they’re just capturing your likeness to use in perpetuity however they choose. You cannot sue for defamation even if they make a commercial out of your likeness talking about anal leakage.
I’m kind of curious about what they make you say in the “video screen”.
Non-Gecko (Firefox), non-Blink (Chromium) and non-Webkit (Safari) browsers:
Servo (browser engine)

Ladybird

They don't seem ready for use yet though.
Should we ditch Firefox? And replace it with a Firefox fork?
This link is pretty great, even if you’re not seeking #abortion there’s some good information here.
