Looking forward to a few days/weeks when people start looking up “Sea-mines” on Wikipedia.

This only harms everyone, even industry will be harmed as lessons from other companies can’t be learned.

It’s worse.
The CSB is only an advisory body.
They don’t regulate or punish.
Their focus is on preventing accidents from happening again. Which is why they do deep investigations of accidents in order to give safety recommendations to other agencies, regulators, industry and educating the public.

The CSB has a fantastic YouTube channel where they recreated accidents and their causes and gave concise recommendations for preventing future ones.
Some of their videos have millions of views, they are celebrated in the comments.
Unbelievable that it’s just gone now.

Untold resources were poured into building defensive projects along the coast and also on the “Siegfried” line.
In the end they barely mattered militarily. Their main use was for propaganda.
Also funny thing, the troops manning the coastal defences included many non Germans.

When you forget to charge the drone and now need to do the reconnaissance yourself

You are right, Discord is not using this maliciously.
However that Websites are able to cross the browsers boundary and talk with local applications with no explicit User permission is concerning.
And maybe even in these innocuous cases it can lead to unintended de-anonymization.

Probably not.
Using an Adblock like Ublock origin would probably also have stopped Metas exploit, as it blocks tracking scripts in general. (But it won’t block Discord or Spotify from talking locally)
You can also try NoJS to have fine grained control of which sites are allowed to run JavaScript.

Here is a blog post from 5 years ago, talking about how some websites were using this to portscan your device to try and figure out what kind of apps your device was using.
A big blind spot in browser security.

This is also done on PC. Discord uses this technique to talk with the desktop app when you have their website open. ( to I.e. open server invites)
Spotify also does this for a private api.
If you are using firefox you can use this addon to protect yourself:

What to expect next:
– Escalation framed as “restoring order”
– Mass arrests under vague pretexts
– Targeting of protest organisers and journalists
– Expansion of emergency powers
– Demonisation of dissent as “terrorism”

Your smartphone is constantly broadcasting your location.
A handheld radio only broadcasts when you actually talk.
A walkie talkie is also disposable, you can just drop it / throw it away and it won’t reveal who you are.
