I let my cats explore my desk as they wish, except when they step on a keyboard or something. Then I gently grab them and pull them away. This has lead to a situation where they now know not to step on them, and are pretty good at avoiding stepping on things... unless they want my attention. Then they will systematically go through every steppable thing until they find the one that makes the most noise and keep doing it until I stop what I'm doing. They know. There's no other explanation. I refuse to believe anything else.

I think for my sanity I'll just block the whole damn pointless and stupid domain in #PiHole directly so I don't have to even think about it. the dot zip domain is literally one of the most incompetent tld's I have ever heard about and it only gets worse. youtu.be/V82lHNsSPww

Microsoft says some 32-bit applications are being impacted by recurring failures when saving and copying files across multiple Windows versions (especially when copying to network shares).

I need to repeat that number, it's too nice:

1,111 apps available now in my repo at apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid :awesome:

(next such number means doubling the amount, which will take some™ time 🙈)

If you were one of the 50,000+ people who downloaded a once-legit recording app from Google Play, there's a strong likelihood that conversations and other ambient sound captured by your device is now in the hands of unknown attackers:

:boost_requested:​ A call to all app developers! ​:boost_requested:

We want your help! While there is an official Calckey client in the works, we'd love to see more third party clients for Calckey start to be worked on! That's why we're putting out a $200 bounty for either an original Calckey app on your mobile platform of choice, or a $150 bounty adding Calckey support to your existing app.

There are some guidelines though:

- Uses the Calckey/Misskey API (calckey.social/api-doc), and implements basic features (including all timelines, quotes, reacts, explore, notifications, chats, bookmarks, channels, antennas/lists).

- Written in a language that compiles for your platform of choice (Kotlin/Java for Android, Swift for iOS. No React Native/Capacitor. Flutter is a maybe).

- Follows modern design guidelines for your platform of choice.

- Submitted to an App Store (Play Store or App Store. F-Droid is a bonus!) If you don't have a developer license, we'll also cover the cost of that.

- If you're adding support for an existing app, it must have at least 10,000 downloads.

I’m not sure how many of those who follow my posts this new security threat affects, but it’s worth reading and passing along. Keeping your computer secure is important for single users just as much as for large companies. Hopefully this helps someone.

Zugriff auf die Daten Fremder, durch das »hochzählen« von Patienten-IDs. Solche leichtsinnigen Anfängerfehler dürfen einfach nicht mehr passieren - schon gar nicht bei sensiblen Gesundheitsdaten. Wer sowas verbockt - am besten gleich den Laden dicht machen. Echt jetzt, unfassbar. Und welcher Pentester das übersieht, hat ebenfalls den falschen Beruf. 🙈

Hat da jemand versucht, alle bekannten Sicherheitslücken aus der Vergangenheit in einer App zusammen zu fassen? Ich meine: Ein Patzer ist eine Sache – aber das liest sich ja fast wie eine Serie. Vielleicht ein Quiz: "Woher kennen Sie diesen Fehler schon?"

* IDs hochzählen
* Fehler in der Umsetzung der Verschlüsselung
* Zugriff auf Fremddaten ohne Hürde
* Einschleusen schädlicher Daten
* Einfache Account-Übernahme
* keine Überprüfung (Falschangaben=illegal? Hahaha…)

@domasla "zusammenklicken": Inder Tat. Wenn ich von der Entwicklungsabteilung gesagt bekomme, Firebase Analytics sei da drin weil es bei FCM halt mitkäme (man würde es aber gar nicht nutzen) – ihnen dann ALS ANWENDER erklären muss, wie man das mit 5 Zeilen in der Gradle Konfig los wird – dann keine Antwort mehr bekomme (das Modul aber weiter drin bleibt)… Dann waren a) die Entwickler mit den 5 Zeilen überfordert, oder haben b) mit "nicht genutzt" gelogen 🤷‍♂️ Oder beides… (App einer KK übrigens)

Because I have to procrastinate to organize moving flats: My new library glycin for sandboxed and extendible image decoding is taking shape. A Loupe MR also already works with it.

There are still a bunch of loose ends. SVGs are not supported, GDK needs support for greyscale images, and some errors still need proper handling.

If you want to take a look, you can find it over here gitlab.gnome.org/sophie-h/glyc…

I am horrified to say that it is mid-2023 and browsers are moving backward on accessibility support for elements with CSS display properties.

Chrome decided anything with `display: contents` is just text. Safari regressed overall but did tables dirty.

Firefox is the only one to have improved and now has the best support overall.

in reply to Adrian Roselli

I don’t know which is worse, Safari repeatedly claiming for a year that display bugs are getting fixed in the next version or Chrome just silently tanking support.

I don’t have the energy today to file new bugs. But I did update the open Can I Use bug:

Just like our software, the current (and yes, beloved) Thunderbird logo has seen small, iterative improvements throughout the last 20 years. But now the software is evolving into something more modern, and we believe it deserves a fresh logo that properly represents this revitalization.

Introducing the brand new Thunderbird logo, designed by the creator of the original #Firefox and #Thunderbird logos, @jonhicks 🎉

Oh hey! I just had my first social media post to be taken down from any platform ever, on LinkedIn. Yay! My post about the flabbergasting amounts of racism in "AI" violated their "professional" community guideline. Indeed. Its quite professional to be as racist as possible, but not professional to call it out. Totally makes sense.

A je to tu. #netflix zavádí příplatek za sdílení účtu.
Já osobně tedy s Netflixem příliš spokojený nebyl, takže je mi to celkem u prciny.
Osobně bych nejvíce uvítal jednu platformu, kde člověk najde všechny seriály a filmy. Já vím, je to utopie, ale bylo by to super.
