Hi everyone!

We've just pushed a very important security bugfix release for #GoToSocial v0.17.3 and below:

github.com/superseriousbusines…

If you are running on GoToSocial v0.17.3 or below, you should update to v0.17.4 as soon as possible. It's a very small update from v0.17.3 -> v0.17.4 as it contains only some code logic changes, and no database migrations.

In short, when a dereferencing bug is triggered under a specific set of circumstances it can cause loss of account data on affected instances. It's a rare thing to be triggered, but when it does happen it really, really stinks, and necessitates restoring from backup or manually editing the database to get things working again. (It's not possible to access or tamper with data by triggering the bug, only destroy it.)

We'll release a proper CVE for this in a couple of days when admins and packagers have had a chance to update.

Please note that folks who are already on v0.18.0-rc1 or latest snapshots are unaffected and do not need to do anything, as the bug occurs specifically in v0.17.3 and below. This means if you prefer to update straight from v0.17.3 to v0.18.0-rc1 then that's also an option; you can follow the release notes for v0.18.0-rc1 in this case.

So! If you know folks on GtS v0.17.3 or below, please let them know that they should take action! Link them to this post if you want! And please boost for visibility :)

Thank you everyone! ❤ Computers!


Release v0.17.4 The Most Selective Sloth You've Ever Seen · superseriousbusiness/gotosocial

Here's version 0.17.4 of GoToSocial. This is a very important security bugfix release that addresses a dereferencing bug which, when triggered under a specific set of circumstances, can cause loss ...

Since Deutsche Telekom (t-online.de) discontinued their own Sync app for Android they are now recommending DAVx5, which is very cool :)

We've made a quick guide video to help new people using DAVx5 with this service. If you know people that want to switch you can point them to:

Ever since we introduced Beau to the cat-related YouTube channels on the smart TV, he regularly jumps up in my lap when I'm on the computer, peers intently at the screen for a few seconds, then hops away, to make sure I'm not secretly watching birds without him.

I feel like there's a trust issue here that we need to resolve.

The Internet is mostly shit these days, but every once in a great while I stumble across an incredible, passion-project website.

This one is hand-animated weird art and it is worth your time as a fun decompressing thing in between your doomscrolling sessions.

I don't even know what hashtags this deserves, so it's not getting any. Boost to your friends!

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And that process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except the endless present in which the party is always right.” - George Orwell

Apple Maps now uses ‘Gulf of America’ name in US, will roll out globally soon - 9to5Mac

Apple Maps now uses the ‘Gulf of America’ name instead of ‘Gulf of Mexico,’ with the US getting the change first before a global rollout.

Google have apparently automated getting rid of negative reviews resulting from their decision to rename the Gulf of Mexico. The only sensible thing to do is to try to stop using the products of billionaire owned American companies, who are *all* demonstrating that they were willing to at the very least bend for fascists, if not actively support fascism.

This came up as part of my continuing process of removing everything which benefits American billionaires from my phone.

I'm now using #organicMaps instead on my phone. It's about 1000 times faster because it doesn't waste time in continuously trying to show you ads.

Dear Play reviewer, The following Play review e8992da9-44d6-48cb-bb51-62f21c12c955 has been hidden from global view because it was identified through automated internal mechanisms as a violation of our Play Ratings and reviews posting policies: It's been getting slower and less usable for years, and now you've conceded to a fascist and renamed the Gulf of Mexico so I've deleted this app. Google is making itself irrelevant.

Debian is among the distributions with most supported CPU architectures and excellent cross-compilation support. We are working on improving its cross-building capabilities and keeping it easily cross-bootstrappable from source for upcoming CPU architectures. Therefore, we'll meet in an upcoming team sprint in Würzburg, Germany. See wiki.debian.org/Sprints/2025/B… .

6 books this week, although one was a very short fanfiction prequel and its successor, called Rise of the Wizards was rather venal.

Outstanding read this week has to go to Dan Frey's Dreambound, which I've already mentioned.
I also reread the Heinlein classic Have Spacesuit, Will Travel, and an interesting twist on the murder mystery front with Memory Blank by John Stith.

Book cover for "Memory Blank" by John E. Stith. The title is in bold red letters, and the author's name is in white above it. In the background, there's a view of space with a bright sun rising over a planet. A futuristic space station with a tall, vertical structure is on the right side. At the bottom, it says, "By the author of REDSHIFT RENDEZVOUS and MANHATTAN TRANSFER" in white letters.

I only noticed it just now, but Google has collapsed almost all varieties of European voices in its GCP TTS library last month into just one voice per gender.

If any of your apps or services has been using its English (British) voices, they won't sound anything like they used to.

And if you used multiple voices (e.g. using different female voices for different female characters), they will now all sound like the same person.

Hola Fediverso.

¿Alguien entiende de monedas antiguas (numismática)?

Tengo una colección de monedas que herede de mi abuelo hace años y hoy me ha dado por mirarlas pero no sé si tienen algún valor. Entre los cientos de monedas hay un montón de 5 pesetas de finales de siglo XIX.

Agradezco un repost por si llegase a alguien que pueda ayudarme o decirme dónde pueden ayudarme.

@archos S tím přejezdem je to zvláštní, páč používají podklady od TomTomu, jehož základem jsou OSM. 🤔

Navádění do průhů vloni byla taky tragédie. Mám ale pocit, že už je to teď lepší. Každopádně Mapy.cz mají to navádění do průhů přehlednější a dřívější.

Sygic jsem si pořizoval primárně kvůli dopravě v zahraničí, kdy Mapy.cz (v poslední aktualizaci přidaly Sentry tracker 👿 ) uměly jen ČR. Teď už umí i Slovensko, Polsko a Rakousko... Takže nevím. 🤷‍♂️

Danish citizens have launched an online petition, signed by 200,000 people, to purchase California. The petition notes that purchasing the Golden State would provide Danes with more sunshine, dominance in the tech industry, limitless avocado toast, and easy access to Disneyland. In return, California would get the rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.

Can they buy Wisconsin, please? I'd take that offer! 😆

American trans humans are under threat and like in 1930s Germany, they now have to GTFO of their home country.

We have decided we need to collect some information on the possible ways out.

So we made a wiki.

We are collecting information on possible exit routes into various countries. We focus on work, study and self employment visas as they are available at the moment.

Google changed the Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America. It would be just a total shame if we all flooded Google with feedback telling them the Gulf is labeled incorrectly. Open Google Maps, zoom out and center on the Gulf of Mexico.
