@Gargron me too...

It's great to get stuff done! ...but hoping for a nap later....

@Gargron
I wonder what David Sinclair thinks about this (gotta tell him)

@gargron This really reminds me of #AlteredCarbon, a bladerunner like show in the nearish future where the ultra rich basically live forever through expensive medical science while everyone else just tries to get by while aging and eventually dying. Great show, by the way, even if the future it depicts isn't...

@Gargron
TMAO has been shown to induce neuronal senescence(these zombie cells). I'm a firm believer that diet and lifestyle choices could wipe out 90% of our current medical problems. Wouldn't want to be the first in line for this.

@Gargron not sure if it's the same thing, but their developer forum said it might be available thru this api. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/vision/locating_and_displaying_recognized_text

@Gargron I also wish you could get programmatic access to the image description engine that the advanced voiceover mode uses, so you could use it to automatically label images you post, since it is quite amazing.

Filed an issue about that, which somebody working on accessibility at Apple suggested, even though filing issues with Apple is the most frustrating experience ever. But supposedly, they do take filed issues into account when prioritising which features to make public APIs for.

@Gargron JUMMMM... MAYBE ...

@Gargron Yep, got one for better.fyi this morning.

@Gargron dude just

@Gargron whats your thoughts/policy for those that havent logged in to their accounts for a long time?

@Gargron Wow ! How'd ya do that ?

@Gargron How many have you lost doing that?

@Gargron I have doubts. This repo https://github.com/YfryTchsGD/Log4jAttackSurface lists ElasticSearch as affected and seems to show evidence. However it's not very detailed.

Thankfully Smithereen is also not affected in any way. I use slf4j for logging and most of my dependencies do as well.

@Gargron I misread that as "Elastomania is not affected by the #log4j vulnerability", which I would hope to be the case anyway!

@Gargron another incentive to stop using java, well, easier said than done.

@Gargron I bet some super smart person with access to the sources needed to do something and they decided to do it the way way.

@Gargron generally, developers design things to work - not to be secure. See this a lot across the board. The internet itself wasn’t designed to be secure.

@Gargron Some great stuff on here!

@Gargron Some good stuff. What did you use to generate what we see in the SS?

@Gargron TesseracT rulez. Haken too.

@Gargron kottke.org today.

@Gargron not unless I've posted it =P

@Gargron I made a post a couple months back about how Gmail scans copies of your emails and keeps records of your purchase history based on receipts and such that you have sent to your inbox. It was mentioned in an episode of "Surveillance Report" on YouTube and is still getting boosts and retoots when people watch their video.

@Gargron
> If you ask me, too much top content is still self-referential.
We are so meta

@Gargron
Mind sharing the code or method to aggregate yearly data?
It will be great to have such recaps across the fediverse!

@Gargron I view it as an abstraction.

@Gargron Til now I didn't truly understand it. Thank you.

@Gargron Just got a chance to listen, good job!

@Gargron

this was great. I guess I'm glad you guys didn't dwell on instance blocking cause that would be off putting to potential new users, but am I the only one who thinks we're evolving on that front in a good way?

@Gargron 'Duolingo Wrapped'

@Gargron no hablo esponal

@Gargron felicitaciones

@Gargron If 'Web 2.0' was any indication, 'Web3' will be even worse.

@Gargron I stopped reading at "blockchain".

@Gargron I did for Pixelfed last year and users loved it!

@Gargron #wrapstodon?

@Gargron it would just be a look at all your old and possibly regrettable posts, add a little bit of light hearted sarcasm to roast the user and you have a really good concept!

@Gargron Lost In Space on Netflix is pretty good if you are looking for a another Scifi show to watch.

@Gargron 100% agree

@Gargron Is the original Cowboy Bebop on that list?

@Gargron

glad to se that the yogscast is still alive and kicking well

@Gargron cool

@Gargron
Do you have a federated timeline yet?

@Gargron Are the new trending links implemented? :blobhappy:​

(also, after the first ever batch of links, there are no new ones showing up in the mod panel.. like ever 🤔 )

@Gargron

is this one called Telepath and if you listen to it you are literally physically transported to the Moon

My bad, two new Devin Townsend albums are out

@Gargron I think it's best to stick to progressive web apps.

@Gargron
When implementing cloud messaging, please consider using @unifiedpush - that way your users on Google can have their FCM, while those on F-Droid can pick the distributor of their choice (well, those on Play can, too). Thanks!

@Gargron why not collaborate with existing android apps such as @Tusky
