- When you see a journalist attacking someone else for lying, it is invariably a demarcation dispute. (Tech Crunch)
You can't lie! That's wrong! That's my job!
- Safari on iOS 13 sends broswing data to... Tencent. (Engadget)
It does this, in theory, to protect against fraudulent websites. But since it sends the request directly and not via an Apple proxy server, Tencent get to see your IP address and the sites you are connecting to.
This is not a good idea. You can turn it off. Probably.
- iTerm2, a terminal emulator for MacOS, has fixed a critical vulnerability. (Bleeping Computer)
Basically, if you connected to a compromised host, and used advanced commands likecurlortail, the remote host could do anything it liked on your local machine.
The bug has been present for seven years.
- The SEC has told Telegram to STOP. (ZDNet)
With its ICO, that is. Because Telegram didn't bother to register it as a security. Something the SEC can get quite snarky about.
- Thousand year eggs. (One Angry Gamer)
Blizzard is reportedly handing out thousand-year suspensions to users supporting civil rights in Hong Kong. Because, apparently, Blizzard collectively has the intelligence of soap.
- Bel is a new dialect of Lisp.
Just what everyone has been asking for all these years.
It is named after ASCII character 7.
Also, it is explicitly not useful for anything.

TechCrunch says Trump's lying when he says the Democrats want to repeal the Second Amendment? Oh, I guess Senator Barbara Boxer didn't say on TV "if we could say, Mr and Mrs America, turn them all in, we would." We won't mention Robert Francis O'Rourke, either.

I don't think Hestia will be at all amused to find Bel has developed a lisp.
