Apple puts a DRM chip in their peripherals, the fault for this happening is mostly on them.

I don't see how that makes sense as a statement, an ai with access to a 56k modem can send a fax. It feels like they're just using ai as a buzzword.

IIRC that's down to mastodon's implementation of outboxes being broken.

mCaptcha can be self hosted https://mcaptcha.org/

It's technically not a CAPTCHA, for the pedantic, but it serves teh same purpose.

It looks like a wire wrapped prototype board of some kind, impossible to tell the purpose from that photo alone though.

This is apparently what the front looks like.

With the rise of inexpensive 3d printers, I wonder if milling would be a cheaper option.

We had a PCB mill at the university I went to, a "few" years ago.

Only for the IOT version which is for devices like ATMs, but it kinda torpedoes their argument that a TPM is hard requirement for windows 11.

I can't find much on the mechanism of action (serine/threonine kinase antagonism), other than it's been tried to fight cancer and failed, hopefully it doesn't have any terrible side effects.

It sounds safer than the retinoic acid antagonist one that was posted a while ago anyway, I can't imagine a drug that does the opposite of tretinoin will be popular.

It's not uncommon for cars to be stolen and stripped for parts, it gets rid of the risk of trackers.

Going Dark: The war on encryption is on the rise. Through a shady collaboration between the US and the EU. (mullvad.net)

Under the slogan ‘Think of the children’, the European Commission tried to introduce total surveillance of all EU citizens. When the scandal was revealed, it turned out that American tech companies and security services had been involved in the bill, generally known as ‘Chat Control’ – and that the whole thing had been...

I've long thought that if politicians want to see our whatsapp messages, all politicians' whatsapp messages should be published publicly.

Mastodon lacks a lot of basic features, like full text search.

It looks like they do, yes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wong_Wing_v._United_States

The fact that they bothered to pass a law at all could be argued to be a tacit admission that tiktok has constitutional rights, if it doesn't then you could just march in and confiscate it's servers, since it wouldn't have the right to due process.

It's rather disappointingly proprietary.

In my head this argument is a little shaky, since it seems to be effectively arguing that Americans have the right to access foreign propoganda machines?

I don't see why that's shaky? There a plenty of books written by members of the CPC (Including Xi Jinping himself) on Amazon, in English, should Americans be banned from accessing that foreign propaganda?

The hitperson is the only competent employee left at Boeing.

@RobotToaster@mander.xyz avatar

“Hitperson” makes it sound like some HR-designated position, awkwardly titled in some neutral, milquetoast way as not to offend anyone.

That was intentional, I'm happy someone noticed.

They aren't "real" people either way, even the human ones are just drones reading a script that someone paid them to read.

Eh, most of those will just be scrapers, and fediverse inter-server communication is technically a bot.

The military isn't buying from Amazon, they buy from "xyz hardware supplies ltd", who buy from Amazon and charge three times the price to the military.

Some will be companies that specialise in sourcing obsolete hardware, who just buy shit off Amazon/eBay and issue the correct paperwork.

I've read that the US government has to give preference in contract bids to small businesses, veteran owned, woman owned, etc, businesses, which is great in theory, but it can create situations like this.

I suspect the plausible deniability of responsibility is a feature not a bug to many of the bureaucrats.

How is he controversial? the only negative thing I've seen about FUTO is the proprietary license grayjay is under.

He realised electric cars are popular with libs so in a masterful gambit is destroying his company to own them.

I disabled RCS after hearing about this, despite being on an unrooted stock rom. I've had a phone suddenly decide to not pass "integrity" 2 years after buying it, despite being not rooted and on stock, it's not worth the risk of missing text messages.

RobotToaster ,

I still don't get what's so great about RCS over SMS/MMS? There's E2EE but that won't be in this implementation apparently.

Sam Bankman-Fried

To be fair they seem to admit that promoting him as a positive example was a mistake.

Can we all agree that whatever version of predictive text we have nowadays is crap, and has been for a long time?

I'm sick of random capitalisations mid sentence. I'm sick of common words being replaced by less common ones or even downright nonsense. I'm sick of it taking three attempts to successfully get the word I want. I swear it's been like this for five years or more. Can we have a better version yet, or at least the old one back?

How do I setup my own FOSS shopping website for my business?

Hello, I don't have much experience in self-hosting, I'm buying a ProtonVPN subscription and would like to port forward. I have like no experience in self-hosting but a good amount in Linux.

Isn't the main shop plugin (woocommerce) heavily infested with that though?

This isn't surprising, it wasn't that long ago one off their executives said he opposed gay marriage. They absolutely just see their users as cash cows.

In most "democratic" society authors have the right to be published anonymously

Where will the six figure executive salaries come from if they did that?

I'm sure they'll find another grift to attach themselves onto.

The deal has always been that targeted advertising is how you pay for a free service.

FTFY.

The adverts on free websites for a very long time were not targeted.

This look interesting, potentially a wordpress replacement?
