according to the nytimes, 76% of americans think facebook makes society worse.

70% of americans have facebook accounts.

@d america is fucked in either case as even the less dumb of the pack can't stop voting for military-industrial complex shills

@meshyagain @wowaname the nonconsensual tracking is what makes it spyware. i don't use or support apps that do that.

@xorman i will look into those apps. i know there is an internet permission, i was hoping to be able to make apps only be able to connect to a small set of host names (and see all their attempts)

@lucifer like you'd toot { "block_add_user": "@example@example.com" } and instances would amend their blocklists (available to users on an opt-in basis, per user) with the new data.

@lucifer i think the ideal way to do
it would be having accounts that can publish rule add/remove messages, and have each instance just consume those updates in real-time, index them, and provide them as checkboxes for users. that way you'd subscribe to a moderator by AP id, it wouldn't even have to be a url or local to your instance.

@chjara@mk.absturztau.be wow there is a lot of broad-spectrum whistling going on on that webpage.

@d @chjara@mk.absturztau.be vaccines are how you stay perfectly healthy in the face of a pandemic, tbh. not all risks are created equal, and the risk landscape changes.

@d the american right is, objectively measured, on average dumber than the american left. both are pretty dumb in the scheme of things. i would be careful bashing either though because idiot partisans will assume you are rooting for the Other team instead of realizing you just want America itself to evaporate

i have a brother label printer but i always buy knockoff tape carts because the design of the printer as well as the firmware features is explicitly trying to get you to use up 2x as much tape as is strictly necessary. huge margins, resets margins to huge on format clear, et c. fuck their dark pattern bullshit. i hate waste.

imagine loving running a torture center so hard that you actively work against people who might undermine you and introduce human rights protections.

this has happened to me at least five times in my life. it's really frustrating because i assume my level of social trust with someone is connected to our friendship, not my provision of dick

it's a real bummer when someone is nice to me because they are pairbonded because we are regularly fucking, then if we don't fuck for a year the pairbond goes away and suddenly the existing level of trust is downgraded even though nothing changed (except the pairbond expiring). i wish people were more in the habit of assuming good faith by default, or at least continuing with their previous value even when we're not fucking. i don't think people consciously realize the shift, either.

i see a lot of horrible shit on activitypub. i block or mute people every day. i wish there were better tools i could opt in to (like adblock hosts files) by URL or something that made the process easier.

you know what i have never wished for? that they couldn't say these things, or that other people who aren't me shouldn't be able to read them.

is there a little snitch equivalent for android? i know it's technically possible.

@wowaname this says it's spyware, which i explicitly reject

@Gargron @Gargron suggestion: explicitly force background to white, explicitly force text to black, on the deepest element. hopefully that will work across the largest selection of devices.

@Gargron @Gargron i am aware of all of these mitigations. my point was that if you test your emails on even one device, it should probably be the stack that triggers this bug. it is literally the most popular email client in the world. if it has a bug displaying your message, the message probably needs to be updated. them's the breaks, i don't like the cupertino hegemony either.

also i didn't even realize at first there was text in the box to be copied.

@Gargron @Gargron this is the built in email client on the most popular phone in the world. (mail on ios15)

@Gargron @Gargron

can you read this? i can't read this.
