I’m not sure whether there is anything but SquareX PR to this story: globenewswire.com/news-release…

Either way: yes, malicious browser extensions can still do considerable damage, even with Manifest V3. No amount of technical improvements is going to change that: as long as extensions can do something useful, they will also be able to turn rogue.

Manifest V3 implemented some rather effective measures to prevent legitimate extensions from being exploited. It also to some degree made it easier to inspect extensions and identify problematic use of browser APIs.

But, and I doubt that it comes as much of a surprise, it’s still very bad to have malicious extensions installed. No real changes here.

Should we have the same standard for everyone's behavior in a volunteer group? In particular, when we're evaluating and addressing destructive behavior, should we apply two different standards? One if they're a "known quantity" and one if they're not?

My answer is: yes, sort of. Not so much for *assessing* the behavior. But I suggest different approaches in how we react to it as we work on repair.

If your home timeline is way too full, you could try using Mastodon's "Lists" feature. This lets you put selected accounts into their own themed mini-timelines and hide them from your Home timeline. You can then browse these Lists when you want, like channels on a TV.

For example you could put all your sports news follows into their own List, and then view your sports List when you want sports news.

I remember that too and tried to find it but couldn't! I seriously need to just make a text file and call it website boy and just fill it up with these kinds of things, tell us how you *really feel* kind of interactions that really show he, website boy, just tolerates us at best but we're a part of his audience now and he wants growth. @bright_helpings @aardrian

Liebe Falschparker, ihr müsst jetzt sehr tapfer sein. Das Bundesverwaltungsgericht hat höchstrichterlich festgestellt: "Das Interesse der parkenden Verkehrsteilnehmer an einer ungehinderten Fortsetzung ihres rechtswidrigen Verhaltens ist nicht schutzwürdig."

Auch euer gerne angeführtes "Gewohnheitsrecht" gibt es weiterhin nicht: "ein ‚Gewohnheitsrecht‘ auf Gehwegparken wird dadurch nicht begründet"

Danke an die Klägerinnen und Kläger aus Bremen!

Bundesgericht zum Parken auf dem Gehweg: Kein Recht auf Falschparken

Das Bundesverwaltungsgericht gibt Klä­ge­rn recht, die gegen zugeparkte Gehwege klagten. Die Behörde kündigt Konkretes an – und lässt wenig folgen.

To challenge the notion that the Mastodon has a strong tradition of #accessibility…

5 years since I tried to improve the accessibility of Mastodon and, despite overwhelming support, the project owner refused to merge my commit, then closed and locked the issue because he thought it was ugly.

Compared to Threads, Mastodon is very good. But compared to Threads, getting kicked in the shin is also pretty good.
