Welcome Johann Sebastian Schicho as #curl commit author 1265: github.com/curl/curl/pull/1347…

sendf: Curl_cwriter_write: remove comment disallowing zero length by schicho · Pull Request #13477 · curl/curl

Curl_client_write calls Curl_cwriter_write, which already has this limitation in place in its comment. blen is not checked in Curl_client_write. Stumbled upon this working on my other MQTT PR.

This is awesome! The other day, I uninstalled the Ace extension from my MacBook Air, and locked down the system recovery policy that we had to weaken in order to be able to install the component in the first place. Then, I updated Audio Hijack manually, ran it, and could set it up without problems. Just two permission prompts, and that was it. Really nice! I guess LoopBack will be next? 😉

Der Messenger »Doctolib Siilo« richtet sich an den medizinischen Bereich. Direkt nach dem Start verbindet sich die App zu:
- Google Firebase
- Adjust (Tracking)
- Google Crashlytics (Analyse/Tracking)
- Google Firebase Remote Config
- Google Firebase Logging

Um Erlaubnis wird nicht gefragt. Besonders brisant: Das personenbezogene Datum (Google-Advertisting-ID) wird ausgelesen und an Adjust übermittelt. #DSGVO und #TTDSG Verstoß.

Genau so geht Datenschutz nicht. 🤷‍♂️

Facebook gave Netflix all of your private messages in exchange for all your watch history.

Facebook gave Netflix all your private messages on Messanger in exchange for alll your watch history while Netflix paid them $100m+ for ads. Meta will sell your data at a heartbeat for profit.

Facebook let Netflix see user DMs, quit streaming to keep Netflix happy: Lawsuit

Facebook Watch, Netflix were allegedly bigger competitors than they let on.

ok, a little late but still a fun time, I think: Jonathan Haidt's new book demonizing social media comes under fire from people who, unlike Haidt, know what they're talking about skepchick.org/2024/04/is-jonat…

Is Jonathan Haidt Right About Social Media Rewiring Kids’ Brains??

I used to think that #emoji #reactions are for the illiterate.

Then I got addicted to them in Signal and Matrix.

Now I can't wait for #Jabber clients to implement them. Why is this #XEP still experimental after 5 years, @larma ?

My most nuclear take is that the people whose origins have granted them the most success and leverage in technical fields are the least equipped to caliper the potential individual impact of LLMs on certain axes of economic marginalization

Well done. Facebook (sorry, "Meta"): "Reality Labs has now lost more than $45 billion since the end of 2020, when Meta first began reporting the business segment separately."

Yes, billion with a B.

That's an insane amount of money. I don't even want to go into the whole "think how many hospitals could have been funded with that money".

cnbc.com/2024/04/24/metas-real…

On the upside, they are consistent in their idiocy and i was wrong to say they'd quietly stopped investing in it. Nope, still going.

“As I’ve argued previously, we — with good reason — continually complain about the state of Twitter under Elon Musk, but I’d argue Raghavan (and, by extension, Google CEO Sundar Pichai) deserve as much criticism, if not more, for the damage they’ve done to society.”


Amen to them receiving criticism too, but idk if it’s just as much or more.

“Because Google is the ultimate essential piece of online infrastructure, just like power lines and water mains are in the physical realm.”


Uhhhhh…I wouldn’t go that far. Bing is comparable (powers most alternatives, inc. DuckDuckGo). Yandex isn’t quite there, but combine Mojeek, Marginalia, and other independent indexes and I’d say that Google’s not as unique as we think it is for organic link results. I feel like this article puts Google (and pre-Bing Yahoo, for that matter) on a bit of a pedestal.
