Every so often I go read the Amazon reviews for replacement SawStop cartridges and see how many fingers have been saved lately
Even the folks reporting false positives on wet wood, nails, etc almost always give five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I find myself really irked by the headline here. The problem is not a "simple website bug", the problem is that they wrote thousands of lines of code without ever thinking about what the trust boundaries are, or should be.
This is a massive design flaw. The idea that cars should be controllable from some mothership is bizarre (and not needed for app control - have a digital signature from the mobile device). The idea that cars are enrolled even if the user didn't set up an account is similarly broken. This isn't a "simple website bug" but a massive failure to consider the security implications of features.

If you want to, you can set your Mastodon account to automatically delete your own posts after a certain time period (for example posts older than 90 days). You can also set it to retain certain types of posts even after the period has elapsed.
There is a step-by-step guide about how to use this feature at:

The guide also answers lots of questions including why deletions sometimes get delayed, and whether auto-deletion stresses server resources.

Hello @Friendica Support I need your support please
I have a problem for a few weeks now which makes my server unstable , and makes Friendica inaccessible, the simplest and fastest solution is to restart the server.
I noticed that this problem also happens to me when I send friend requests

Some help please...
Thanks

¿Apoyar la creación de un impuesto europeo sobre las grandes fortunas? Dónde hay que firmar? Aquí 
tax-the-rich.es/
No hace falta firma digital, con número dni también. Y es una iniciativa oficial a nivel europeo, no un change.org
Joer, me ha llevado menos de 60 segundos y lo había retooteado muchas veces y aún no lo había firmado
Faltan pocos días y aún no se ha llegado al mínimo. No hagáis como yo y retooteis sin haber firmado antes, son 40 segundos 😅
WTF is wrong with people worldwide?!
“#Austria's far-right Freedom Party is heading for unprecedented general election victory under leader Herbert Kickl: projections..based on initial results, give Kickl's party 29.1% - almost three points ahead of the conservative People's Party on 26.2%, but far short of a majority.
Freedom Party has been in coalition before, but the second-placed conservative People's Party has refused to take part in a government led by him”
This is an AMAZING deep dive into Chinese crypto and app based money laundering. Incredible really. The mechanics of it and the social aspects of how it all works. An ethnographic masterpiece
Oh man! I was cringing for the poor guy just listening to this. What a pro.
In the 11 o'clock hour on Friday morning, an outage in the newsroom led to WBBM's signal coming off the air and news gathering systems going down. WBBM NEWSRADIO
Anchor Rob Hart was in the studio and brought people up to speed while things got running again. WBBM NEWSRADIO 780AM & 105.9FM is in Chicago, Illinois.

And while this was resolved quickly enough, it does raise some serius issues about how the public would be kept informed if some sort of sustained cyber attack was launched that took out newsrooms like this.

Ui, vielleicht hier gar nicht so einfach unmissverständlich und in aller Kürze umfänglich genug darzustellen...
Bei Kirchens sehe ich eine weite Spanne: Von der digitalen Totalverweigerung bis zu den Superhipstern.
Kleinere Gemeinden im ländlichen Raum sind mir vielleicht am nächsten. Da gibt es manche, die steht vor dem personellen Kollaps...
Praktische Unterstützung im digitalen Bereich vor Ort könnte ein Aufgabengebiet sein. Grundlegende Medien- und Digitalkompetenzvermittelung an konkreten Aufgaben, z.B. wie organisiert man eine Vorbereitungsgruppe für den Weihnachtsgottesdienst digital:
* Einsatz eines fairen Chatsystems für die Arbeitsgruppe
* Bearbeitung gemeinsamer Dokumente in einer selbstgehosteten Cloud des Kirchenkreises
* Nutzung von Trackingfreiem SocialMedia, nicht um 1000de Follower zu bekommen, sondern lokal ansprechend wahrgenommen zu werden
usw. usw.
Das alles auf eine Art und Weise und mit Tools, die beispielgebend sind für eine #selbstbestimmtDigital e Arbeit, in der wir unsere besonderen Skills auspielen, siehe z.B. hier:
Ein anderer Aspekt könnte praktische Unterstützung für Vernetzung sein:
Es gibt in D eine breitgefächerte, professionelle und trotzdem an der Basis gebliebene Szene, die sich für eine freiheitlich-demokratische #Digitalgesellschaft einsetzt.
Ich sehe #digitaleKirche nur in wenigen Ausnahmen in dieser Richtung konsequent unterwegs. @librechurch@kirche.social wäre eine solche Ausnahme.
Hin und wieder wird aus der Szene mal ein Speaker für eine Keynote zu digitaler Kirche eingeladen, aber die praktische Arbeit in den Gemeinden vor Ort (und auf höherer kirchlicher Ebene?) scheint mir sehr weit weg davon.
Talk about a grotesque invasion of privacy:
"Smart TVs from Samsung and LG take screenshots of what you are watching even when you are using them to display images from a connected laptop or video game console"
newscientist.com/article/24491…
How can this possibly be legal?
Here's why: Congress isn't just indifferent to your privacy. It is actively complicit with big corporations -- and law enforcement -- in embedding surveillance into everything we do.
i mean, think about it. the defining difference between UI design pre- and post-Metro/Material/iOS 7 is how easy it is to use office suite shape tools to prototype a UI.
i don’t think this theory is true but i want it to be since it explains everything.
notable exception: modern Google app icons are impossible for stereotypical PMs or good designers to dream up. a special third type of fucked-up creature was brought in.
someone at Google let the authors of their technical writing style guides write the icon design guidelines.
ok I think I made a joke that was just for me.
Google’s technical writing in practice isn’t actually that bad. the things the style guide chooses to be opinionated and lax on are just a bit odd. very lax on ambiguous terminology but opinionated about using contractions.
the joke I was going for was that the official app icons give me that exact vibe. very ambiguous, very different styles, yet somehow too coherent. it’s actually a bit unsettling.
Meet, Chat, TV, even Calendar: all empty rainbow squares that look the same. Prioritizing similar aesthetics over uniqueness.
Yet most older apps with an existing brand not tied to their empty-rainbow-outline icon guidelines seem recognizable: Classroom, Earth, Voice, YouTube (different palettes, not empty shapes). But some of these will likely join the graveyard of abandoned Google products.
New silly conspiracy theory: Google sunsets old products so they can be replaced by products with icons conforming to its newest icon guidelines.
I mean yeah, some icons are just bad
but e.g. from GNOME perspective that was absolutely the right move. At one point we had icons like this: 3.bp.blogspot.com/-UBhifwD1gzU…
Well, that's an idealistic lie. In reality, they were like this: news-cdn.softpedia.com/images/…
See, only about 3 people in the entire world knew how to draw icons in that specific style and it tooks weeks to make a single icon. Yeah, there were guidelines, but it's way too elaborate for anyone to bother, and so no one did. Every single third party app (except those jimmac/etc made an icon for personally) had crappy icons. I mean corebird on the second screenshot is actually a GNOME app.
So, we drastically simplified icons and made them very geometric, as well as got rid of all the 5 or 6 different sizes and just have a single svg per app. Result? Even the less polished apps have reasonable looking icons. I mean look at this: apps.gnome.org/ - there isn't a single app with a crappy icon there. (ok ok, being in circle already implies a baseline level of quality, but take a look at apps designed for gnome on flathub and it's same story there)
Same story for symbolics - some people were pissed that GNOME uses symbolic icons for apps instead of tango style, but like? I'm not an artist at all, and yet I managed to draw a bunch of these icons for highscore just fine. Previously I'd have to ask a designer.
And well - same for UI styles. Yeah, iOS 6 apps looked very very elaborate, but good luck doing that without an artist. The barrier of entry is so so much lower without an expectation that your app will use wood/leather textures (which were not a part of the platform btw! it was a custom thing in each app, unlike Mac OS X brushed metal)
@alice yeah i was thinking about like. official apps and components that progressively simplify the design at the expense of usability.
Apple honestly didn’t do nearly as badly here as MS did, but at least MS supports WHCM to put bring borders back so I can identify boundaries between components.
I’m biased. I really struggle with identifying boundaries without prominent borders or gradients, remembering icon purposes, etc. so I’ve mostly been noticing years of regressions that I’ve had to theme away.
Ich finde diese Initiative einfach großartig! 🤩 Metalab für Menschen mit Sehbehinderung oder Blindheit zugänglich zu machen, ist ein so großer Schritt in Richtung Inklusion. 🌈 Ich wünschte, ich könnte teilnehmen.
