Crap like this is the reason I started to use adblockers. Malvertising isn’t new, only the term is.

You sully the good name of shit.

Nice collection of links. Thanks for sharing!

Bluesky is supposed to decentralized, though it doesn’t seem to be. Threads being blocked doesn’t change the fact that it is technically part of the verse, although a red herring. Maybe both poor examples, but they’re alternatives to the verse, which was my point. Maybe adding a public mastodon instance as an alternative would have been a better example, but the main point stands: a uni isn’t likely going to host their own instance, due to the inherent risk associated with it.

Honorable goal. But it won’t work. From a business’s perspective, hosting such a server adds inherent risk. They won’t do it. You may be able to convince them to use the fediverse through threads or bluesky, but they won’t host their own instance, even if the CTO/CIO/CISO agrees with your love for the verse. I’m not saying you shouldn’t try. I’m saying you should provide alternatives to twitter and to self-hosted mastodon; alternatives that don’t require self hosting anything.

I have a couple questions:

1. Have you ever sacrificed any humans on that altar?
2. How many humans have been sacrificed on they altar?

Tails hhahaha

That’s because a normal cup has around 20g grounds, and a Keurig capsule has 10g. This isn’t a joke. I actually weighed it.

Nah. That’s for those that like herbal tisanes lol

I use espresso, pour over, and v60 carafe from this image. But I now pretty much only use Deb and Fedora, and the occasional OpenSuse. Arch was fun, but too constantly “hands on” for use as a daily. Ubuntu used to be good (past tense). I got annoyed with constant manual compiling with Gentoo, but am considering going back to it anyway.

I absolutely LOVE that one. One of my all time favorites.

This was ONE GUY??? What a legend! I hope his family knows the giant positive impact he’s had on so many people, and is able to find some sort of comfort knowing he will be missed by so many strangers. A true tragedy.

Interesting delivery on quishing. Ingenuity was never their weakness, I suppose.

I hate that we need this.

I’ve been on calyxos and grapheneos since at least 11, and didn’t realize they were gone from the google variant of android, since I’ve had them this entire time. I wonder, now, if it’s an AOSP thing or a calyxos/grapheneos thing.

Open F-Droid, search camera. I see Fossify Camera, Open Camera, Libre Camera, and FreeDCam that basically provide the appeal that this subscription camera app has (AI-less).

Open PlayStore/Alternative, search camera. Holy cow! I’m not even going to name any. There are so many. Not all are AI-less, but there are a plenty.

Also, GCam has a RAW option. So… out of the box, this new camera app is unnecessary.

You just described about 60% of the internet. It’s infuriating it came to this.

Eu needs to just block fb en large and be done with it.

The company said the changes are for users in the European Union, in response to evolving EU regulatory feedback

Sounds like a petulant child throwing a tantrum for being told ‘no’.

minimal set of data points including a person’s age, location, gender, and how a person engages with ads.

Sounds like they’re skirting the regulation.

allowing people to connect with the brands and products that are most relevant to them.

“Connecting with brands and products” is not even remotely close to why people use social media.

Tf are they going on about?!
