Ok kids, here we go:

#Bandwagon, the open #Fediverse alternative to #Bandcamp is ready for its first steps into the light.

I have a waitlist online at
bandwagon.fm if you'd like to try it out.

I'm planning to build the first (dozen? I don't know) profiles in the waitlist personally, with an email questionnaire and FaceTime follow-ups if necessary.

Once I'm confident in the UX, we'll open up self-serve signups for everyone.

I made a new blocklist for bridges to other networks that aren’t opt-in, excluding Twitter (“X”) bridges as they’re already covered by another list of mine. Bridged networks include Nostr, Bluesky, and Mavenly.

More documentation and a direct link are in the “supplementary blocklists” section of my blocklist article.

I removed them from my consensus-informed lists because if you want to block bridged networks, you’re better off with the supplementary lists that don’t have a consensus requirement.

@Ember I’m more worried about mostr than bridgy-fed’s nostr bridge since anybody can point a mostr instance at an unmoderated relay, and open the full unmoderated network to fedi.

I’m assuming two things:

  1. moderated relays are a thing that exist (there should be some that actively block media which could put most servers at risk, at the very least)
  2. bridgy-fed’s nostr bridge uses a moderated relay

because I don’t want to claim otherwise without evidence and I’m too tired to look right now.

Polyfill[.]io is now serving malware.
This is why you should not rely embed third party scripts on your website.
Only load JavaScript from domains you own - and preferably, only load JavaScript you/your organization wrote.
Third party JavaScript is and will always be a threat to privacy and security.

Can’t find my thread to update it, but after a Chinese company acquired Polyfill.io last year (embedded in over 100k websites), it has started serving malware to users of said websites - prepare to be surprised.

Worth grepping your source code for "polyfill.io" and taking urgent measures to remove that code if you're linking it into your site - the domain name apparently now intermittently serves malicious JavaScript

Phone Link is Microsoft's late and closed source alternative to KDE Connect. It requires you sign in to a Microsoft Account for it to work.

This means all the transactions between your phone and your PC are monitored and sucked up by Microsoft.

Just in case you hadn't read the terrifying conditions you agree to when you sign up for a Microsoft Account, here are two of the more relevant paragraphs.

So, yeah... KDE Connect is still the better option.

#Windows 11 is now automatically enabling #OneDrive folder backup without asking permission

"Quietly and without any announcement, the company [#Microsoft] changed Windows 11's initial setup so that it could turn on the automatic folder backup without asking for it."

Imagine your operating system forcing all your desktop files to sync to the cloud, without letting you know it would do that. Users should be aware of when their files are synced to any cloud.

Oh wait, I forgot... Microsoft has zero regard for user choice, #privacy, and #security.

Microsoft is continuously making it harder for users to use local accounts or opt-out of things/"services" (like OneDrive) in general.

in reply to Avoid the Hack!

I do think they themselves would be wise to know that completely ridding us of the option will just force people to create forked ISOs and drive more Windows installer distribution underground. In a way they're playing a game of balance, the bigger question is how far they will push the needle before realizing it needs to be pulled back a bit.
