the protonmail bridge software phones home to quad9 and google DoH services silently and without obtaining consent or offering a preference to opt out.

please tell me more people to follow on the fediverse. i don't have enough content in my feeds.

someone appears to be tampering with gitlab.com TLS streams, getting TLS read errors ("decryption failes or bad record mac" in ssl3_get_record when using wget).

just had my first experience accidentally downloading an aarch64 .app on my intel mac. oops.

also apparently the librewolf people don't know about fat binaries

if dadrock is bad, i don't wanna be good

@9x0rg yes, it still fucks with them. videos too. there's no "please don't fuck with my files" setting.

@thegibson i am currently rebuilding the left desk today

@thegibson more context

what the fuck is with software automatically resizing my images to be shit? signal does this, mastodon does this (either serverside or in the ios client), everything does this. i spend ten grand a year on cameras and software makes their output look like a fucking potato despite me and everyone i communicate with being on gigabit or 5g. i hate this timeline

@thegibson here we go

@j4yc33 @thegibson what is that slot at the top of the keyboard?

the apple studio display (which of course has an Ax chip in it and standard iOS-style secure boot/update with personalized-to-serial updates) cannot be purchased in-person with cash if you want the VESA mount. you need to provide payment card info (identity) to get the serialized device. even our monitors are trackable now.

@alienghic bots aren't sentient, so i'm pretty sure this is human communication just via alts and scripting. i'm not sure why the whole "bot" thing became a meme. people are allowed to have alts.

@fprime @thegibson this sort of looks like a nightmare

@pamela i believe that publishing something to the public web is affirmative consent for other people to download, read, use, and think about that information.

no further consent is required to download public toots and index them, any more than any further consent is required to build a web search index. that's what publishing *is*.

signal-ios ten years in still hasn’t figured out how to not block the ui thread. yay for releasing half baked buggy shit without basic qa
