@stux it somewhat depresses me that nothing that has happened in my lifespan is as cool as this, humanity may have peaked before i was born if we don't have a moon city soon

those paper straws you use now are made (poorly) waterproof by treating them with bioaccumulative poisons (PFAs)

a periodic reminder that every time you put the tip on your card instead of tipping in cash, you are financing the drone war and the cia’s global network of torture prisons

it’s really amazing the entitlement i run into in the f/oss world. no, you are not allowed to ship nonconsensual spyware simply because you wrote some code then gave the code away for free. your misfeatures will be patched out, and you are not being wronged as the software you wrote and gave away is no longer yours, it is ours.

TIL i think it is possible to enable supervised mode on an ios device with a usb cable and without apns-mediated mdm saas

the official mastodon ios client has no way afaict to permanently disable content warning clickthroughs, and of course (thanks to apple’s shit notification system) notifications from my own instance don’t work

i even enabled background app refresh for it. does anyone know if ios lets apps spawn notifications during background app refresh?

apparently the blahaj goes for thousands inside russia as a status symbol rn (due to ikea closures) completely unrelated to lgbtq stuff

i had no idea until my gf started freaking out in the berlin ikea

@edboythinks money will always exist even if you or anyone else tries to abolish or ban it.

@hans it’s fine if you don’t care about your own personal privacy but that doesn’t give anyone license to track people who do (and don’t consent to such tracking)

berlin was 33 and sunny yesterday and is 19 and overcast now

i have come to learn i really don’t like variable and unpredictable weather. i would rather it be the same every day and shitty so i can at least put permanent mitigations in place without having to keep changing things

@hans this has nothing to do with which maps you download. you don't seem to understand ip geolocation.

@hans client ip is city level geolocation. when you send a persistent unique id from changing client ips over time, i know which cities you were in, and when.

afaict all the activitypub/mastodon mobile clients are trash

i can’t get this song out of my head this week

@twoheart the ?si= part is tracking, you can remove it before posting
