nice write up in #TheCrux thanks @daedalus :awesome: 👏

"Federated social media software #Mastodon had an impersonation vulnerability that was patched last week. More than half the instance admins patched it in less than 24 hours. I enjoyed the comment from Elliott Wilkes, chief technology officer at Advanced Cyber Defence Systems, saying “there's just not the same investment in security because there's not massive revenue supporting the platform, and each owner of an instance has to perform security management on their own” as I look wistfully in the direction of Microsoft and its massively lucrative portfolio of security binfires."
Bugs were reported by German #pentesting outfit #Cure53 during a #Mozilla-requested audit.

👀 #TIL Monopoly wasn't invented by the Parker Brothers, nor the man they gave it credit for. In 1904, Monopoly was originally called The Landlord's Game, and was invented by a radical woman. Elizabeth Magie's original game had not one, but two sets of rules to choose from.
One was called "Prosperity", where every player won money anytime another gained a property. And the game was won by everyone playing only when the person with the least doubled their resources. A game of collaboration and social good.
The second set of rules was called "Monopoly", where players succeeded by taking properties and rent from those with less luck rolling the dice. The winner was the person who used their power to eliminate everyone else.
Magie's mission was to teach us how different we feel when playing Prosperity vs Monopoly, hoping that it would one day change national policies.
When the Parker Bros adopted the game, they erased the "Prosperity" rules and celebrated "Monopoly".
