"[Center for Internet Security] found that 82% of K-12 organizations suffered what it called a “cyber incident,” based on an 18-month study of 5,000 institutions. The organization observed nearly 14,000 security events and confirmed that 9,300 were cyber incidents. CIS found that threats targeting humans exceeded other techniques by 45%."

'The Tesla showroom on Van Ness Avenue in San Francisco is operating without permits, according to the Department of Building Inspection's online database.
The San Francisco Chronicle reviewed the database and found DBI never gave Tesla the final sign-off on a host of renovations made in late 2015 and early 2016.'

Spoiler: Czy chcielibyście zobaczyć pierwszą gminę w Polsce która w pełni pracuje w #fediverse?
Czy macie pomysły / propozycje jak to wszystko "ożenić" aby to miało ręce i nogi :) i aby nie spalić pomysłu.
Oczywiście kluczowa sprawa to przepisy prawa - zwłaszcza RODO. Priorytetem jest bezpieczeństwo użytkowników i mieszkańców.
Trzeba iść za ciosem - skoro o @gmina pisali nawet za granicą. Może czas pokazać wszystkim kierunek :) w tych burzliwych czasach.
Hooray to the City of Victoria, BC! Joins neighbouring View Royal in breaking its Twitter habit.

Good for View Royal!
What other Canadian municipalities are ready to step away from the megaphone of a fascist billionaire?

Hi @jessie 
@astuntechnology are hiring for a couple of roles at the moment: DevOps engineer and Account Manager.
https://www.astuntechnology.com/about/careers/
Both #RemoteWork or #HybridWork (Epsom, Surrey, UK). We're a small technical and friendly team who work predominantly with #LocalGov, #Gov helping orgs get the most out of geo data.
The most badly implemented homepage features of UK local councils:
* Latest news. So many of these sections squish massive images into tiny boxes.
* Carousels. Massive, unoptimised, images.
* Chatbots. Every visitor has to load several MB of Javascript regardless of if they ever use the chatbot.
I've arranged all the wards in Wales. I need a break as my eyes are going hexagon. Does anyone fancy arranging hexagons for the West/East Midlands, East of England, South East, South West or London? https://github.com/open-innovations/uk-wards-2024/ You can just organise an individual local authority if that's easier.
“Home rule” is the idea that localities ought to decide what’s best for their citizens. It’s almost always a good idea. Almost always. Here’s where localities could use the state’s intervention: State legislatures should require that counties reassess property values every year, so local politicians could tell constituents … geez, what can we do? It’s state law. Why do they need this help? Let’s visit Pittsburgh, where the last full reassessment was in … 2012. https://www.pghcitypaper.com/news/opinion-raising-allegheny-county-taxes-by-22-mills-is-reasonable-and-overdue-27093052 #localgov

Seems like #TaxHikeMike is pushing to have the State take over #STL Local Authorities, but #MadamMayor isn't having it!

How should cities approach AI governance? When Aurora IL excluded citizens from their first AI workshop, then approved $136K for consultants, it revealed two competing visions for municipal AI adoption. Read our analysis of institutional processes vs community-driven initiatives, and what other cities can learn from this moment.
“Who is gov’t?” A well-known writer tells us how he got a great story … by doing something a group of political hacks refused to do. Sit for briefings on what federal agencies do and how they work. Out of the briefings, he got a compelling series of magazine articles and a best-selling book. This year, other journalists are following his lead. What would reporters learn if they set out to understand your city’s gov’t? https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/interactive/2024/michael-lewis-conclusion-who-is-government/?itid=hp_opinions_p001_f016 #localgov
How fast can attitudes and bureaucracy change in a city? If S.F.’s #housing reforms are an example, very fast. One year ago state officials singled out S.F. as an example of a city dragging its heels on housing permits and zoning reform. Today, state officials say the city is pioneering ways of getting more units built. What has it done? The city has ended parking mandates, streamlined permits for #affordablehousing, granted density bonuses and much more. https://www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/sf-housing-19863076.php #localgov
