Ugh, the #chrome #extension ecosystem is exactly as bad as I'd expect.

And the fact extension is still up claiming not to collect any data even if it has been called out in one of the biggest security newsletters shows how much Google care about this (not much). The only thing they care about is pretending to ship AI features to detect malicious extensions. Because that's how you get promoted.

I mean is it even possible to report a suspicious or bad extension? I don't see anywhere

Great research by @WPalant and @c0m4r

And @campuscodi for putting the spotlight on it.

in reply to Gabriel N

the worst is that you can block "Shorts" with an uBlock Origin rules. No need of a new extension.

Oh wait...



Oh, neat! A new open source app for Fuji cameras.

github.com/petabyt/fudge

Currently Android and WiFi only, just supporting transfers so far. Bluetooth is planned, as is location support. Desktop and iOS versions are listed on the roadmap.

I really like the semantics of Rust's Option<T> and Result<T>, and I wish more programming languages would adopt something like it.

you probably mean `Option`. `Optional` is the zvariant workaround for inability to use `Option` with D-Bus 😊





US folks: If you've not voted early, and don't yet have plans to vote, please make plans over the weekend! If early voting is still available in your area, take some time out of your day and get it done.

For those who have already voted via mail or in-person early voting, here are resources to check the status of your ballot: vote.org/ballot-tracker-tools/



Why people would want to deprive themselves of their natural desires, I do not know, especially just because the month of November passes. It's unhealthy to starve yourself of the natural ways of life.

I dream of someday giving a conference talk titled "A Majestic Minilith", drawing its title from DHH's "majestic monolith" (signalvnoise.com/svn3/the-maje…) plus the Minilith from Arthur C. Clarke's _2061_. In this talk, I would show a full-stack web app written in Rust (or maybe some other AOT-compiled language), where the whole thing is a single binary, and show via live demo with audience participation that it can handle a decent number of concurrent users on a low-power home router.

Hi, humans.

If you like me (and we like, at least sometimes talk) and would be interested in joining a potential discord server I create, feel free to give me a shout.

Can't promise anything, as these thing usually go, but I'd like to have people I like around and stuff.

@menelion I wish I got the appeal.

I use it to share screens with a friend sometimes but I suppose I just don't have the energy to devote to it regularly

in reply to Sean Randall

@cachondo @menelion Believe me this isn't coming from anyone fanatical. I hated it until a week ago when I had cause to want to use it, and have just realised it's not thaaaaat bad. I get the hate though, I was there too.

#kraftwerk’s mighty Autobahn is 50 years old today!

Imagine listening to it back then, this amazing 22 minute electronic track that captures the joy (and boredom) of a long drive on the autobahn.

It remains stunning and fresh now, let alone how mindblowing it must’ve been in ‘74

@bagder Something you write is used in the Nintendo 3DS internet browser. It sadly does not say what exactly it is using but I would assume it is #curl.
in reply to daniel:// stenberg://

now added to the collection at daniel.haxx.se/blog/2016/10/03… thanks!
in reply to daniel:// stenberg://

it's so crazy to explore tools like curl and find out how cool and useful it is and noticing that a lot of tools and products are using it in the background. Such a great accomplice but sadly not as monetarily rewarding as a good song or film, even so it is more useful (no shame on music and films but I prefer technical stuff for my entertainment ;..; )

in reply to Elia Ayoub (he/him)

It's a tragedy, and the handling is absolutely awful so far. A few more details:

Right after winning the election, the regional government abolished the regional emergency unit as a cost-cutting measure.
Urban planning failed in allowing to build in what are essentially dry riverbeds and became wet once again.
The state agency for meteorology had been giving warnings for days. Civil protection didn't issue warnings to citizens through their phones until flooding had already begun.
A far right pseudo-trade union has sued the director of the agency for reckless homicide.
The president of the region incorrectly stated that the phenomenon was remiting and heading elsewhere.
The region didn't ask the state to raise the emergency level to 3, in which case the state would take over the single command and deploy its own means to support. But now the region accuses the state of innaction. The region also didn't declare "situation of catastrophic emergency" which would have vested single command on the regional president, probably to elude legal responsibility.
Volunteers were rejected at first, then belatedly organised, and the region instead of sending them to help people in villages with cleaning, food and water delivery and so on, have at times sent them to clean shopping centres.

With that amount of rain it was always going to be bad. But the civil protection plan failed and the political conflict in the country is keeping administrations pointing the finger at each other. Very upsetting.



I learned something new about #linux today. If you're on a box that doesn't have #telnet, but has #curl

In a world where enough women are searching “can my husband find out who I voted for” to make it trend in search engines and social media, there should never be a question again about the value of and right to end-to-end encrypted and private personal communication.

If this doesn't sound like fun, filter the hashtag. But if it does, please boost so that more people can join us.

We will boost as many posts as we can, and we encourage others to do the same.

Buenos días, esto es muy fuerte. Hoy la Generalitat empezaba a "organizar" a los voluntarios para distribuirlos mejor. Hasta aquí ok, más vale tarde que nunca.
Pero resulta que este señor, periodista para La Vanguardia y A Punt, dice que hay lío en "varios" buses porque les han llevado A LIMPIAR UN CENTRO COMERCIAL.
Al parecer la gente se niega a bajar de los buses porque quieren ayudar a la gente en sus casas u calles.
Cuando crees que no pueden dar más vergüenza y asco, lo consiguen.

Mastodon #Science people, I come to you, hat in hand, searching for a paper.

It was about using Corsi-Rosenthal boxes in schools, but it was fairly short, because the teachers in the study school kept turning off the C-R boxes. I do not know if they used the phrase "Corsi-Rosenthal" or if they just called it a DIY air cleaner/purifier.

Does anyone know this paper?



How a misinterpretation of a BMJ publication from 1996 caused (and yes, I do mean caused) the explosion in rates of peanut allergy.

In a nutshell: for decades the guidance issued in the USA and UK was the opposite of what it should have been and left a generation with preventable, life-threatening allergies.

People make fun of the “what happens in the booth stays in the booth” election ads, but I know poll workers who have had to keep husbands out of their wive’s voting booths because they had to “make sure she votes right”. When I was phone banking I also talked with a woman who’s husband or boyfriend was clearly around and it almost definitely changed the nature of the call. Voter intimidation by men is a real problem and I’m glad these ads address it.

That moment you order something that costs a small fortune and find yourself worrying about other blind people judging you for it. I've seen some people going where do all these blind people get their expensive devices? While I do think that's a valid question and will absolutely acknowledge that many blind people have had to have help buying those devices (which by the way who cares?) some of us blind folks actually have worked our butts off to get those devices with our own money. So those in the blind community that grouch about how people are just using other people's money to buy devices that ultimately make their lives easier, shove off.


There's a lot weighing heavily on my mind right now. I can't go into it here, I'm sorry, but if you could, your thoughts and prayers are very much appreciated.
