Happy birthday to Russian #mathematician & writer Sofia Vasilyevna Kovalevski (1850-1891). Her contributions to analysis, differential equations & mechanics include Cauchy-Kovalevski theorem & the famed Kovalevski top. She was 1st woman appointed to full prof in N Europe or to serve as editor of a major sci journal. She is also remembered for her contributions to Russian literature. All of this despite living when women were still barred from attending 🧵

This fucking Free Our Feeds bullshit is basically trying to do for Bluesky what Mozilla does for Google.
And guess what, there’s Mozilla’s executive director and president on as custodians alongside two guys from AI companies and the executive director of Meta partner Social Web Foundation.
I’m so bloody sick and tired of bloody Silicon Valley asshats sucking all the oxygen out of the room with their bullshit and I truly hope the folks roped into legitimising it realise this and distance themselves as quickly as possible (you know who you are).

Millionen von Standortdaten aus Apps fließen an Datenhändler ab - das zeigen Recherchen des BR mit internationalen Partnermedien. In Deutschland sticht eine populäre Wetter-App besonders hervor. Experten sprechen von "Kontrollverlust".
Kurios das Netzpolitik über das selbe Thema berichtet, mit dem Unterschied das dabei alle Partnermedien ausführlich namentlich erwähnt werden:

6 new CVEs in "rsync".
"In the most severe CVE, an attacker only requires anonymous read access to a rsync server, such as a public mirror, to execute arbitrary code on the machine the server is running on."
That would be CVE-2024-12084 (9.8) AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, a heap-based buffer overflow in rsyncd.

in reply to Stéphanie • • •@stephanie I remember a story at Futureshop in Vancouver on Broadway. I wanted some GoPro accessory and they were locked. Ask the sales dude about one, he said "we don't have it" and left. And then I had to wait for another sales person for the alt I was thinking but didn't have time to ask....
And then at the cash sales dude 1 asked to be the "person that helped" (commission) and I said "fuck no".
I really needed the shit urgently and at the time Amazon Canada was still crap.

in reply to Hubert Figuière • • •@stephanie the sales dude cried because I wasn't nice to him (he fucking left).
And just to clarify, store was ghost town so it's not like they were busy helping other customers.
But definitely I would have left otherwise (was leaving town permanently and that was for the road trip)
