There's a lot more I could have written about this but... look we've all seen this a million times before, we know how it works, how bad actors abuse it to mass report and bully and where it all goes.
Hey folks, thanks to @bagder and @kees , I managed to compute the "Source code age" from the GLPI project, which I'm working on, and it's really fun because we can see a lot of nice information on it!
To sum it up: the code is very dynamic, and compared to Curl (which you can see here: mastodon.social/@bagder/113399… ) , we can definitely see that it doesn't endorse backwards compatibility: there are a lot of refactorings of big parts of the codebase! 🎉
(I'm running this on Symfony too, stay tuned)

Fake videos from Russian propagandists aim to raise tensions ahead of Election Day — NPR

Die #Musik von #Silentlive hörte ich vor einigen Jahren in einem kleinen #Café in #Wałbrzych - ich versuchte der Kellnerin verständlich zu machen, dass ich die CD gern einfach sofort kaufen würde. Nach einigem hin und her verkaufte sie mir ihr eigenes Exemplar. Eine schöne Erinnerung.

Cleanfeed is also good for broadcasting and other live events. During the lockdowns, many broadcasters were using Cleanfeed to send entire shows, including high quality stereo music streams, back to radio stations.
I did an explanation and demonstration of Cleanfeed in The Blind Podmaker podcast which is still relatively current.
I say all this because Cleanfeed has just come out with a very nice update for iPhones using USB-C. You can now use a USB-C audio device including audio interfaces, come into Cleanfeed through safari for iOS, and Cleanfeed will recognise the audio device. This is going to be a big deal for people who want to participate in high quality podcasts or live broadcasts while on the go. If a radio station has a broadcaster in the field for some reason, coming in through Cleanfeed and a USB-C audio device is going to sound way better than a FaceTime call.
Best of all, Cleanfeed’s developers care deeply about #accessibility. They’ve responded positively to many of my suggestions and those of others in the blind podcasting community.
You can find Cleanfeed at cleanfeed.net.
Koncert Sabatonu
I had a talk called "Unbreakable Linux for Entire Family" today. It had nothing to do with Oracle #Linux, it was about concepts and approaches around #Fedora #Silverblue to make a truly free ChromeOS-like system for friends and family.
I was happy to have a full room of people. It's good to see #OpenAlt bouncing back in terms of attendance.
The recording of the talk (in Czech) is already available online:

Climate Change Demonstration Criticised for Blocking Traffic in Spain — The Shovel
“I’m all for action on climate change, but all this demonstration does is inconvenience people. It's selfish".The Shovel
For many years I've believed that Facebook and Instagram were secretly downloading phone photos in the background. Because when you go to post a photo, it gets sent far too quickly to have done a download at the same time.
Yesterday I found this video from an Instagram founder, and damned if I wasn't right.
It doesn't appear to be all photos, just the most recent one (ones?). It's not clear from the video if it happens when you launch the app, or when you hit compose. They're doing it on the assumption you're about to post some recent photos. They claim it's okay because if you don't post it, they delete it.
That's classic Meta self-serving bullshit. The "Yeah, it's wrong, but it's okay because we're Meta and we're smart" excuse they always use.
It is not okay to upload my photos without my explicit consent. It's not okay to chew up my bandwidth when I may be deliberately trying to keep it low. IANL, but that first, frankly, sounds like class action material.
It doesn't matter that they claim to delete it. They just introduced a privacy risk. That could have been a nude of my spouse. That could have been a photo of my kid I was sending to my doctor. That could have been a photo of a contract I'm not allowed to share. All to save a few seconds they can brag about.
When Apple allowed you to selectively make photos available to app, I turned the feature on for Meta apps. This makes posting photos a pain, because Meta doesn't uses Apple's UI for choosing which photos they can see and selecting them at the same time. It's a multistep process and it isn't obvious how to do it. Ironically, it means that I rarely post to Instagram anymore. A fact that just reinforces my belief that Meta really wants full photo access and deliberately isn't fixing the issue.

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

in reply to Alex Rock • • •Though I must admit that your scripts are quite slower, and they're really curl-specific. The python script by @kees for the Linux Kernel is a bit more generic and easier to standardize.
Would take a while to adapt all of these incredible graphics for all repositories, but maybe it's worth it 😅

in reply to Alex Rock • • •I think I know what the issue is:
Just like Symfony and some other frameworks, GLPI has to maintain multiple versions at a time. So I should actually display only the version tags for a specific branch (9.x for instance) and re-run the script alter with the tags from another branch (like 10.x).
I think I need more tweaking 😅
daniel:// stenberg://
in reply to Alex Rock • • •Alex Rock
in reply to daniel:// stenberg:// • • •Yep, in that case, tags must be totally reordered by number instead of by date. That's a whole different way of analyzing 😅
For instance, version 2.x had tags published the same day for several versions of both 2.7.x and 2.8.x branches.
I will have to rewrite this more than just tweaking it, I guess.
