Can someone explain to me why Oracle is holding on to the JavaScript trademark? No one actually pays them for it, right? It matters less than nothing in the real world and just comes off petty as hell.

Word of advice: maybe don't annoy the woman with a poison locket, a sharp pointy hairpin, and a black cat attitude.
She's clearly reading assassin fantaisy, is a big fan of Maomao, and researched "how to poison someone with things you can find in the kitchen" just to know if that TV show plot holds.

It's been extremely hard to keep this one under wraps.

I just published a new blog post, where one weird string that looks like a cookie value turned out to be a whole cryptostealer and database wiping operation.

I spent some late nights on this one, and am a little bit ridiculously proud of the work I did.

Dear Fedi friends, I need your help!

We are working on motion graphics for the Fediverse promotional video... and we would love to do a sequence at the end with a mosaic of people's profile photos. For that, I need your consent.

If you'd like to have a small cameo in our video, can you let us know if we can use your profile pic?

Thanks! 🙏

Can you please boost this?

All of the current big platforms rely on advertising and even moreso, targeted advertising based on your online behavior. So keeping you locked in to their platform is essential so they know even MORE about you.

@Doomed_DanielDaniel Gibson @jenniferplusplus we would definitely not pin anything important on the "communicated goal" part of it; we understand the temptation, since the US legal concept of "protected concerted activity" does typically require that, but ultimately that's an attempt by capital to force dissent into easier-to-control ways such as full-on strikes.

I think this is one of those things that's stunning, in all the worst ways, and most of them aren't obvious.

Let's start with the basics: there are about 5.5 million trans Americans. This means that *nearly 10% of the entire trans population of the nation* has moved.

We've been on X/Twitter for many years, but it's time to reduce our activity there and instead promote Mastodon as our main social media channel now. So we've done just that: https://x.com/LibreOffice/status/2026204949760131158 – Welcome to all our new followers here 😊

The control of the computer is getting shifted from you, who bought the computer, to the seller of the computer.

This should not happen.
You should be angry about this.
You should refuse to be controlled.
You should resist.

YouTube recently changed Studio to show comments by "most relevant" instead of "newest" by default and I cannot sigh hard hard enough. Newest IS most relevant. I want to see the newest comments.

There is no way to change this setting at this time.

Not everything needs to be algorithmic. This is enshittifying the creator experience.

@Em0nM4stodonEm I have yet to find a personal use case for AI/LLMs.

Last time I checked, they are incapable of sewing alterations for my clients, weeding my yard, cooking for me, or cleaning toilets. I have been trained in research, and still read (real) books.

Not sure where #Google asked for feedback about their developer verification program, but they surely didn't talk with #FLOSS devs, civil society, privacy organisations or their #Android users

#FDroid did since September, and interacted with folks in the Fediverse, forum, email and in person

They all voiced one opinion: "developer verification must be stopped"

@marcpruxMarc Prud'hommeaux has written an open letter, signed by likeminded organisations who want to #keepandroidopen
