Volume SEVEN of my #IndieWeb, #Fediverse and #Cybersecurity / #Infosec newsletter, "Scrolls" has landed! You can read and get scrollin' here https://shellsharks.com/scrolls/scroll/2025-03-14.

It features the usual awesomeness and also has a vastly improved logo, created by my good friend and super talented artist angryrolypoly (https://www.instagram.com/angryrolypoly/). He's also the genius behind a lot of the other art on my site including my Fedi profile pic!

Also, special shoutout as well to @humdrum for making some other art for the Scrolls cause .

The art and images of Scrolls, as much as the links themselves are what make it such a pleasure to read - one more big THANK YOU to @shaferbrown & @skeddles for being such talented artists. I enjoy seeing everything you post!

Finally, my mass-shouting-out of everyone else who contributed to this weeks edition! Sharing the cool stuff you find, build and create is what makes the Internet great, and this newsletter so fun to put together.

Pokémon Go has a new owner, Scopely, which is a subsidiary of a Saudi Arabian company called Savvy Games, which is itself owned by the Saudi government. @404mediaco's @jasonkoebler wonders what that might mean for the location data of the game's 100 million players. [Story may be paywalled.]

uBlock Origin has the potential to save the average global Internet user more than 100 h annually. The energy conserved if everyone in the United States used the open source ad blocker would save over 36 Americans lives per year if it were to offset coal-fired electricity generated-based pollution.
