ok this is going to be verrry interesting
the FTC has just enacted a rule declaring fake reviews, suppression of negative reviews, fake indicators of social media influence, and other similar things to be unfair or deceptive acts or practices
there are real questions around enforceablility but this could prove very helpful when it comes to holding companies accountable

High-end racing bikes are now vulnerable to hacking
A team of researchers from the University of California San Diego and Northeastern University found security vulnerabilities in Shimano wireless gear-shift systems.Lauren Feiner (The Verge)
You'd think so, and I sure did, but the wireless shifting systems have some pretty compelling arguments in their favor, including "you can shift gears under the heaviest loads you can put on it" and "you can _stand on the derailleur_ and it will take that abuse without misaligning or even flinching."
It's spendy, but ... man I've snapped chains and torn derailleurs _clean off_ bikes before and that looks... really good.

Every feature that gets added via JavaScript is more complex, more expensive, and harder to improve. That means that when things go wrong, they're treble costly to fix. This is because JavaScript is the _"f-it! we'll do it live!"_ of web tech; JS disables or routes around all the ways the browsers try to help.
Let browsers help!

Hi everyone, I am organising LOCO 2024, 1st International Workshop on Low Carbon Computing
It's hybrid and will be held 3 Dec 2024, in Glasgow (Scotland) and on line.
Please consider submitting, whether you're academic or not, and please spread the word.
I took time off work this afternoon and went through the @gnome european event/swag boxes to take inventory and recycle items that are no longer relevant.
I host two of these huge boxes in my house. 😁

Remember when Montréal was a cosmopolitan city? Yeah, not anymore.
Remember when anglophones believed they had nothing to fear from the CAQ? Yeah, not anymore.
There is something fundamentally wrong with a city that will erase Bonjour-Hi, Bonjour-Woof, Bonjour-Meow, etc. before it deals with OTHER graffiti... OR OTHER THINGS LIKE TRANSPORTATION, TRAFFIC, HOUSING, ETC.

Welcome to the RB family, Image Toolbox 🥳
What we thought to be non-RB turned out to be just non-deterministic. Luckily we know how to deal with that in most cases, though we'd prefer Google fixing the underlying issue 😉 (and yes, there is an issue open with them)

Will try this one - I used Imagepipe up to now.

Looks like Imagepipe needs less permissions, which jumped into my eyes in Neo Store ( apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/repo/co… )

Honestly, I'm really glad you kept it open and free to use instead of taking such an important thing and cashing in on it like some other softwares have done.
Thanks a lot!
Kinda funny, on friday I literally replaced curl in a codebase with.... curl.
Just a different interface to still use curl. 😅
OK. Then we should redraw the picture a bit to show that there are multiple kernels, multiple TCP/IP stacks, multiple TLS libraries, but only ONE libcurl.
Variety above and variety below, but one solid block in between, used by virtually everyone.
