When I said that your discord clone doesn’t need e2ee, I got a lot of comments along the lines of “ then how would I use it to organize the revolution!” The answer is: you don’t. If you have more users than can comfortably share a Signal chat and hence want to use discord or something like it, you cannot POSSIBLY be vetting all of them to a high standard of trust. Your logs ARE leaking. End-to-end encryption between more people than can fit around a dinner table is pointless.

This article confirms what I already assumed, that “open source [information sense, not code sense] intelligence gathering on social media” includes, for the US government, asking for links to join groups that may *feel* private. My own discord has literally like a thousand idlers. It would be very *lucky* if none of them were logging for potentially nefarious purposes! And I remind the active users of this occasionally.

With we checked multiple criteria before indexing: "indexable" enabled, account not locked, no or in bio, not in opted-out list, only public posts. Every deletion, edit or block was processed instantly via .
Google uses that same "indexable" flag but ignores everything else, keeps deleted content cached for weeks.
We shut it down after pushback. Was that the right call? Don't hesitate to share, this concerns the whole Fediverse.

Solving the problem in general is going to take a lot more sophisticated thinking and organizing but at the very least, if you're a github user, go to github.com/crabby-rathbun 's page and in the lower left click the faint grey "block or report" button and ensure that this unrepentant asshole is blocked from all of your repositories.

I saw yet another “CSS is a massively bloated mess” whine and I’m like. My dude. My brother in Chromium. It is trying as hard as it can to express the totality of visual presentation and layout design and typography and animation and digital interactivity and a few other things in a human-readable text format. It’s not bloated, it’s fantastically ambitious. Its reach is greater than most of us can hope to grasp. Put some *respect* on its *name*.

The European Commission told TikTok to “change several key features, including disabling infinite scrolling, setting strict screen time breaks and changing its recommender systems. The demand follows the Commission's declaration that TikTok’s design is addictive to users.”

Now do the same for the US services!

그저 웃지요;; $38B를 이민자 수용소에 쓸것이라고 했지만 당연히 반발이 나옴; 미국은 돈이 부족한것이 아님 돈을 쓰지 말아야할곳에 낭비하는 것임; 미국은 이민법과 행정체계만 잘 정리해도 충분할것 같은데요...

i hate all these sick motherfuckers who are inflicting this garbage on us.

they are forcing us to go to gas town, kicking and screaming, despite our never having consented to go to gas town or live in a world where going to gas town is actually appealing.

People: I won't use emacs, elisp does exactly what I tell it but I don't understand

Also people: I won't use regular expressions, they do exactly what I say but I don't understand

Also also people: I will write a small novel of instructions to my LLM-based editor and it'll do some semi-random weird shit but that's 100% OK, at least it's not elisp or regexes and deterministic behaviour's overrated anyway!

My health insurance provider just updated their terms to say that any information they have about me can be used to train AI, either by them or third parties they provide it to.

Continuing to have health insurance through them automatically constitutes accepting the terms. If I don't like it, I can stop having health insurance.

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK.
