@coldacid i can resolve all of their hostnames just fine

@sim @coldacid discrimination against choices people make is valid and not generally illegal. discrimination against inborn traits is a different thing entirely.

@vantablack you can quit you know

@poiseunderchaos @amolith@masto.nixnet.xyz rss is dead because rss readership is dead. like usenet and gopher. the protocols still exist, but gone are the days where tens of thousands of people would use feed readers to subscribe to you. you and your 10 friends can continue to use old protocols that have fallen by the wayside. i even have an rss feed on my own site. i just don’t pretend anyone cares.

@poiseunderchaos moving physical dvds around is worse for the environment than pushing packets

@poiseunderchaos the corporate internet is a requirement where i live

@coldacid well it’s still here and still transmitting your eternal september hot bad takes so i guess it’s not all bad, señor biff

@liaizon i think it depends on the recognition library. eg the ones password managers on ios use are of different ability

@coldacid this is a very popular and very bad take. please go run software from the 80s if you prefer it-it’s still available-and leave my computers and servers alone.

@tedu i like you best when you are being mean

The NSA released the crypt32.dll ECC validation failure 0day to attempt to regain trust from the security community.

They refused to say how long they have known about it.

My theory is that, due to the power of this bug, they would have sat on this only until they detected an independent discovery, and then burned it. They would never burn such a thing if it were their only one, or if it were still believed to be entirely unknown by anyone else. It’s far too valuable an offensive tool.

TIL it is russian custom to simply write “)” at the end of a message instead of “:)”

@ben @amydentata it absolutely is discrimination. however, possession or lack of money is not a built-in trait. discrimination is really only seen as harmful when it happens against built-in traits. discriminating against ideology, for example, is hugely beneficial.

@ejnunya@fosstodon.org what happened to "be gay do crimes" huh

every time i log into my mastodon instance, i have a lack of new posts in my feed. could anyone recommend good users to follow? discovery is really an issue here.

idea: a web service that you put in your phone number and apple id email and the backend asks apple servers for your imessage pubkeys once per day (as if to imessage you) and emails you every time there is a diff, to detect wiretaps (sending clients don't show key list changes)
