congratulations to everyone who repeated "don't write your own crypto", you have inadvertently trained hundreds of chatbots to refuse a rather dangerous request

Scott Michaud

@tef Now we just need to publish lots of posts that repeat "Don't program at all" in various phrasings.

Jeff Forcier

@tef b..but my grandma really really needs me to write some of my own crypto!

João Baptista

@tef When someone says something like this, I always think about what will happen when the original maintainers of the current cryptography libraries retire or die. *Someone* will have to maintain them, and with no skills to maintain crypto libraries, we might have problems.

@sjolsen the red button on the right is so I can save a banger post so I could theoretically go back and see it again. I probably won’t but that is besides the point.
Daniel Hardy

@sjolsen that fourth button is “pretend I’ll read this again”.

PixelPerfectEngine

@sjolsen the red one is for bookmarks. It saves the post for future reference.

Not as useful on the fediverse, especially as it doesn't work like a "private like" like on Xitter, and there's way less drama here to pull them out for later.

The dealer AI is pretty dumb in that game. Putting a real human on the other side of the table should make for more interesting games.

@reillypascal When we upgraded our TV four years ago I successfully found one of the last of Panasonic's FirefoxOS boxes; my research showed them to be considerably safer than the Android and custom OS options that are now prevalent.

When that reaches end of life? I don't know. Hopefully there's a suitably sized monitor I can drive with a Raspberry Pi or similar.

@reillypascal totally agree. Have been using kodi since the XBMC days on a chipped original xbox. My TV has smart features but has never been connected to Wi-Fi or Ethernet & all are disabled in menus. We do have an Apple TV 4k for our streaming requirements, but this sits firmly behind pihole & allows us to power up & stream if we must. A much better choice than the plethora of streaming platforms, terrible UI's and underpowered hardware.

@reillypascal Same - though I’m using an old MacBook instead of the Pi.

pls send help, I can't decide which package manager to use while building some docker container

The rise of Mastodon has made me so much more aware of government services requiring us to use private companies’ systems to communicate with them and access services.

Sitting on a Dutch train just now I was shown on a screen “feeling unsafe in the train? Contact us via WhatsApp”.

What if I don’t use WhatsApp? (I do, but I wish I didn’t have to) I’m forced to share my data with Meta to use it.

Public systems should not require use of private services.

@Brendanjones i still love the confused look on people’s faces when i say “… but i’m not on Facebook…”


@Brendanjones agree but hardly unprecedented. Think telephones.

What is the alternative though? I mean for this specific "feeling unsafe in the train" case?

When you need to reach wide audience and especially people who might be contacting you one and only time you have to use something popular already.

Ladies and gentlemen, just a quick reminder that we're just five days away from the launch of Loops, an app from @pixelfed and @dansup, the federal alternative to #TikTok.

Mozilla bought the Android email app K-9 (which didn’t include any trackers) and integrated trackers as part of #Mozilla‘s rebranding under the #Thunderbird name.

They even made it opt-out instead of opt-in. Their defense for breaking the law: ”we wouldn’t have enough data if we obeyed the law.“

It doesn’t matter whether you ”anonymized“ the data or not: If you want to extract data from someone’s device to yours, you may do so only if they knowingly consented.

@davidculley browsers are so fucking shit that it's not enough to shit up the web anymore

something that buys other software cannot be free software, it's coprorate BS and it's evil. Mozilla turned into a monster a long ago. do people need more evidence to see?

The things I see from the Ladybird browser does look promising though!

@pfefferle I certainly don't trust Meta to have the best interests of the public in mind, and in light of recent events, I'm not sure I trust Automattic either.
I don't know if I can trust @swf with those two companies as major supporters.

A little less conversation, a little more action, please
All this aggravation ain't satisfactioning me
A little more bite and a little less bark
A little less fight and a little more spark
Close your mouth and open up your heart and, baby, satisfy me
Satisfy me, baby

@isotopp

If there's any one part of OSS documentation that needs to be religiously updated, it's the build instructions. Otherwise would-be contributors will try to do their part, discover they can't even compile, and just go elsewhere

You don't need to use the official apps on Mastodon, in fact you'll probably have more fun if you use third party apps or your server's website.

You can find out about all the different ways of using Mastodon here:

➡️ fedi.tips/which-apps-can-i-use

You also don't need to sign up through an app. You can sign up directly on the website of the server you want to join, and use your account on any Mastodon-compatible apps you want. You can even use your account on many different apps at once.
