Noo, not good! Replace the code with something else. I swear, one of these days, websites and weird products of the all variety type will assault my ears. It's so bad I never want to shop, I just don't shop, or I mess up everything. Someone else wanna do it? My ears are full of websites, and how badly I want to rage at their brokenness.

I've seen a number of toots today advising people against scanning random #QRCodes because they can be used in a number of malicious ways.

There are a number of legitimate ways people can use such codes to trick others, and it can require some deeper understanding of how systems work to avoid them. For that reason, I'm not going to contradict that recommendation, but I will add to it.

QR codes are usually just URLs encoded in a visual, machine-readable form, so they aren't necessarily more dangerous than a link. The danger comes from the fact that most scanner apps will directly open whatever URL you scan without giving you the opportunity to consider whether that's a good idea.

You can reduce the risk of scanning such codes by installing a better app which requires manual interaction to open URLs after decoding them.

For android users I recommend "BinaryEye", since it's open-source, ad-free, and has a bunch of other useful features.

Its github page links to both F-Droid and the play store:

I just released version 0.4.1 of #rsop, a stateless #OpenPGP ("SOP") CLI tool based on @rpgp:

crates.io/crates/rsop/0.4.1

This release adds support for the 'revoke-key' command.

For more on #SOP, see datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft…

#PGP #GnuPG #StatelessOpenPGP

Stateless OpenPGP Command Line Interface

This document defines a generic stateless command-line interface for dealing with OpenPGP messages, known as sop. It aims for a minimal, well-structured API covering OpenPGP object security.

There is some kind of issue with my Whatsapp ("Waiting for message, this may take a while" and my messages not sending), so I've been using @matrix with a couple of people, and it's working great. Stuff like location sharing just works, and my favorite different feature is that you can react to a post with multiple emoticons.

It looks like Whatsapp has some kind of key exchange error. I'm not saying matrix never has that (although I've never had it), but it tells you what the error is and gives you tools to diagnose/fix it. But Whatsapp is "User friendly", so it just tells you to wait forever.

There are many “what should we do next” thinkpieces, but this one is mine.

If you want an abstract summary, the idea is “we need to run a year-round parallel campaign apparatus that just introduces people to progressive ideas by making their lives better in whatever ways we can”.

That is a staggeringly huge project and if it does even happen, I can only be a tiny part of it, so I will need your help. Contact info is at the end of the blog post.

multivaitamins pills are a lot less effective then their hype. The way to bind them into pill form effectively is way to expensive to use by many of them. Here they use blood test and if you have a deficancy then they might purscribe a specific vitamin supplement but not a multi.

For some light-hearted #SciFi with plenty of hope, there's The Left Hand of Dog: whitehartfiction.co.uk/product…

If you'd rather read about old ladies getting justice by any means necessary, there's A Bit of Murder Between Friends: whitehartfiction.co.uk/product…

I can highly recommend both.
