The problem in America isn’t that Joe Biden is old. It is that a former president who plotted to kill the next two people in the constitutional line of succession is not being challenged as he attempts to return to the White House.Mastodon 🐘

“We often dismiss skills that are not societally valued by pretending they are not skills. Or, sure, maybe they're skills, but they're mysterious and ineffable!
“You reinforce this idea each time you say ‘soft skills’ instead of working to enumerate them. Perhaps you mean ‘interpersonal skills,’ ‘leadership skills,’ or ‘communication skills.’ These are all technical skills, and they all have names.” - Sasha Laundy 🔥🔥🔥

I installed it using Ubuntu 23.10, which is just about to go out of support, so I upgraded to 24.04 LTS. Took about 20 minutes, no drama.

hey, so heads up:
that Win11 v24H2 "Enterprise G" ISO that's been the hot news lately is a complete flat-out lie based on files sourced from Windows Update servers, mashed together to form a poorly-made hackjob which also uses binaries from Windows 10 Pro v2004. to put simply:
- ISO volume name and creation date are bogus; wrong tools used to generate image (imapi2 instead of oscdimg/cdimage) - final resulting OS image was produced a week ago on 27th June 2024 at 04:09:00 AM (UTC), ISO generated at roughly 04:25 AM
- OS image is directly based off of the v24H2 RTM build's Pro source packages - WIM creation times match 1:1 with metadata ESDs from WU
- the "Enterprise G" edition manifest's code signing catalog is actually borrowed from win10 v2004's professional edition; catalog signed on 7th December 2019 (same time as VB_RELEASE 19041.1); the conversion from Pro to "Enterprise G" using these hacked-together files took two minutes, tops
- author tried to deliberately hide their tracks by removing any and all logs from the CBS logs directory
- it's partially set up to auto-activate using massgrave KMS38 and remove edge after installation (the Edge removal thing is not present though)
- guy who made the ISO also directly modified the media to swap out the setup background image from purple to pitch black to poorly "replicate" a problem present in official MS media for Win11 v24H2
the real Enterprise G is actually published by CMIT (joint venture between MS and CETC in China), meant for China government employees - first introduced in May 2017. the last release the venture made was based on Windows 10 v21H2 CU build 19044.1345, released on 28th January 2022.

I understand there's a lot of pearl clutching going on here, but we do know the Messages app also stores your chats and contacts in human-readable text (in a sqlite db), right? And that any app can just go read it?

Ugh, Mastodon’s rolling out a new meta tag for verifying links.
Now we can do:
- reciprocal links
- IndieWeb h-cards (can work with reciprocal links)
- Semantic Web markup that maps to v-cards (can work with reciprocal links)
- Ariadne proofs (Keyoxide) (works with many different account providers)
- Fediverse-link-preview-specific identity verification but only for accounts approved by your instance admin.
Can we please stop re-inventing webpage author verification with platform-specific metadata? We’ve got Twitter-specific, Facebook-specific, etc. markup for webpage verification and now we’ve got Fedi-specific verification.
make it stop
Servers already cache long lists of Fediverse domains and verified profile links. Going through a page’s rel-me links for link previews as well as profile links should be doable.
Relatedly, the Fediverse small-DDoS problem still needs solving and this just makes it more obvious. Including link previews in the post and verifying them after a much longer random delay (measured in minutes), first checking for previews from a list of preview-generating servers, would address most issues.
