FYI for the resistance. #Resist #Amazon #Coup
Edit: I personally do not use Amazon, but thought other people might be interested in sharing this with family and friends. I got a lot of judgey replies here like oh if you were really on our side you wouldn't be using Amazon in the first place. Yes, cancelling Prime would be ideal and I mention that to my friends who still use it, but I try not to be a jerk. If you are trying to persuade people to your side--don't be a jerk.

Guys, I literally just found this new track about 30 minutes ago and calling it now, you're gonna be hearing this everywhere in the next two weeks. The production on this is kind of insane, really sounds like it could've come out in 1978 or something. Incredible stuff. Debbii Dawson - You Killed The Music: youtube.com/watch?v=aFLh58plBY…

A year ago the third #curl security audit completed, that time covering our HTTP/3 implementation.

It revealed **no** major discoveries or security problems.

Ugh, I can't seem to use the Discord inbox at all under Linux. That's going to be kind of a big deal.

Filed this a while back but was hoping it was either a Chromium or Electron issue. Seems to happen in Firefox as well.

Going to still try daily driving Linux this week but if I can't use the Discord inbox then that's going to hurt. Real shame Element/Matrix isn't a compelling accessible alternative yet.

@Tutanota Hey - I tried to sign up, but failed, I assume because I'm using a VPN.

For a security focused email provider, this is off putting. It also makes me worried that even if I manage to sign up, future access may require to have my VPN off, which is not going to happen.

Is this something you are aware of? Any plans to address it? Searching a bit brings up a lot of results discussing this issue, but no FAQ from you.

Since I found a working and screen reader-accessible PoW-based captcha which is super easy to implement on a site and people have been telling me to switch from RecaptchaV3 for years, I had a reason to write Verity, a tiny and super fast server for Altcha. Feel free to check it out and contribute should you wish to. This is currently the most feature-complete and secure implementation of an Altcha server to date to my knowledge. #captcha #altcha #free

So there's some tech bro bed company called Eight Sleep. Like, a $2,000 bed with temperature controls and shit

Thing is, it has a backdoor in the firmware allowing Eight Sleep's engineers to *SSH into your fucking bed and run arbitrary code*

{insert various double entendre jokes here}

"They can know when you sleep

They can detect when there are 2 people sleeping in the bed instead of 1

They can know when it’s night, and no people are in the bed"

Schön, was man so anlässlich dieses wahltages auf seinem Regal noch findet. Diese hier war mal ein geburtstagsgeschenk und wurde noch nie benutzt. Deshalb wohl etwas staubig. Im übrigen bin ich total verblüfft, wie gut die Kamera des Google Pixel 6 blinde Menschen beim aufnehmen von Fotos unterstützt. Da kommt keine der spezialisierten anderen Apps mit. Echt genial, das habe ich tatsächlich noch nie ausprobiert.

Fragile #Masculinity is Never Ever Satisfied

And as @adamconover eloquently explains, the “manly” antics of the tech bro oligarch class really aren't fooling anyone.

Performative masculinity—particularly its extreme form of fragile masculinity which inevitably leads to toxic masculinity—is tearing my country apart right now. Clearly we must to find healthier ways to reach and help young men.

At the same time…I kinda just want to deconstruct gender entirely? 😅

It is very hard to accept, but it is no longer safe to move EU governments & societies to US clouds. Not only is it dangerous to do so, it is also likely flat out illegal in the near future. We're trading convenience for utter dependence on a mad king. It should stop.

I tested this mini PC that’s smaller (and cheaper) than the Mac mini M4 — and I’m impressed
"The Geekom A6 is a compact yet highly capable mini PC with excellent specs and a wide variety of ports for the price. It can get slightly noisy under load and its gaming performance is just okay, but that shouldn’t be a turnoff for this productivity-focused machine..."

I am sitting in a cat tree
in the house where I am living.
I am waiting at the counter
for the man to give me breakfast.
And he doesn't seem to notice
that I'm hanging in the kitchen.
I need to get his attention
so that he knows that I am hungry.

Meow meow meow meow
meow meow meow meow
meow meow meow meow

I've finally done it. I've written an email to businesses I buy from that are still on #Shopify. This will be going out to them all.

If you have a monthly subscription to any product that's not through Amazon, it's probably hosted by Shopify. Dog food That's Shopify. Coffee? You guessed it. Toilet paper? Yep.

Will you join me in writing to small businesses and asking them to consider switching hosts?

I've shared my email template below, though yours may obviously be different.

Hi WGAC team,

First, I want to tell you I love your toilet paper. And I hope to continue buying it.

But here's the thing… I don't know if you're aware of what Shopify senior management team has been up to. They've aligned themselves with fascists.

As a fellow small business owner with a Shopify store, I've made the commitment to move my business away from Shopify. It's going to take me hundreds of hours to redevelop entire site and recreate all my integrations. But it's the right thing to do.

When someone shows you who they are, believe them. Shopify's senior management team has made it clear who they are. I believe them.
