This attack works across platforms, on basically all modern GPUs, but only in Chrome and Edge. Firefox and Safari are immune.

Using a Chrome browser is starting to become a security risk, at this point ๐Ÿ˜›

"Twitter Blue subscribers recently started noticing the 'hide your blue checkmark' option on the web and in mobile apps, offering the ability to hide that they're paying for Twitter and avoid memes about how 'this mf paid for twitter.'"

LOL, look at these snowflakes! ๐Ÿ˜

It's Pronounced DEETS

@sindarina the transformation of the check mark from a badge of privilege to a badge of shame.

Since I keep seeing developers use โ€˜prettyโ€™ IP addresses like โ€™1.2.3.4โ€™ in example configurations; a reminder that you MUST NOT use publicly routable addresses that you do not control in your code.

Instead, use one of the available 'TEST-NET' IPv4 or IPv6 ranges documented in RFC 6890;

192.0.2.0/24
198.51.100.0/24
203.0.113.0/24

โŒ 1.2.3.4
โœ… 192.0.2.4

and for IPv6;

โœ… 2001:db8::/32

Pass it on to all of your fellow developers, documentation writers, and so forth.

Full RFC for special purpose addresses;

datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc68

Reserved for documentation, IPv4 and IPv6;

datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc57
datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc38

@sindarina I define all IPs in a config file, and call them with variables. That way, anytime I need to change IPs, it's a simple matter of updating the config instead of having to go through and update my code.

@sindarina On my first co-op term I had to explain this to a technical writer who had changed my example IP addresses to addresses that she thought "looked better" - which happened to be addresses of *our own* internal servers.

@sindarina I kinda appreciate when a TV show or something needs to show an IP address on-screen they use "octets" above 255, such as 301.49.452.7. It certainly upsets some people but I see it as close enough to giving a 555-01XX phone number.

The Guardian is an important source of news in English-language Europe, but continues its practice of platforming TERF rhetoric on a regular basis. Until this stops, and they apologise for this behaviour, you should not support them financially.

@sindarina yeah, I count my days of increasing clarity and informed radicalism starting with purging them and all other corporate/state media from my daily diet. :)

@sindarina The Guardian have now put a limit on how many views. No idea how many? They just informed me I have to wait 25 days to return to their app. Maybe because I live in France? I can use a VPN to disguise my lp address but have decided not to bother reading for now. Just get frustrated by lack of critical thinking and their propaganda promoting the establishment.
