Mastodon will go nowhere unless they fix their branding and user experience first.

Given their commitment to user privacy so far, I'd trust them more than any other ad provider at the moment.

I guess this speaks a lot about the App Store's review team. This is pure spyware, didn't even try to hide, and then allowed it.

I can see there being a market for that. The reason nobody uses FPGAs at the moment is because nobody has them outside of specialized applications. If Intel can release a CPU with a built-in FPGA and everyone has one, software developers wi

I wish they'd bad this equipment not because it's Chinese, but simply because it's shit. Seriously, pretty much all mobile network equipment (including EU-based Ericsson) has critical vulnerabilities. I wouldn't worry ab

Would you buy a new car if it needed duct tape just so it can stay in one piece while driving on the highway? So why would you think it's acceptable for a CMS to require third-party "cache" plugins just to be able to handle t

Looking at this page's source it seems like Wordpress (or rather Shitpress) is involved, so this downtime is not surprising at all considering how many resources that pile of garbage uses. But yeah, a properly optimized site can handle

Add sensible rate-limits (modelled after an average user's expected usage) and present a captcha after that. Make it per-IP. Sure, the crawler can change IPs, but I doubt they have unlimited addresses and eventually they will run out.

That's a bug on their side. The RSS feed should not require any consent since it doesn't have tracking (I don't think you can even embed trackers in an RSS feed). If they want tracking they can link to outside pages in the RS

The problem with GDPR is that you can't sue over it directly, you can only report them to your jurisdiction's privacy watchdog (CNIL in France, ICO in the UK, etc), and if the privacy watchdog sucks or doesn't care then tough

I think his main point is that for now GDPR is just as inefficient as the cookie "law" it replaced, which I have to agree with - the only thing that will make these regulations useful is enforcement - until that happens compan

Try remote (and maybe contract) work. Also, Silicon Valley is not the only place to find tech work - don't forget there are plenty of companies all over the world who are building lovely things too. ;)

by Rjevski 8y ago
GDPR is a good idea (although I remains to be seen if any of it is enforced, as without enforcement it's pointless) but I agree the cookie law was the stupidest nonsense I've seen in a long time.

The internet and a social network are two different things. The internet doesn’t necessarily need everyone to be on it to be successful. The whole point of a social network is that the majority of people are on it. That’s why Facebook is st

I used Twitter to be "social" around 2013. I noticed that the social aspect of it seems to have died out by 2014 or so, and so I left the platform (also due to their other changes).

It's determined by the "Content-Disposition" header in the response. If the header says it's an "attachment" then the browser will trigger a download, otherwise it's displayed inline.

I guess it's back from the days when "internet suites" (a huge monolithic app with browser, email, IRC, etc) were still a thing. Seems like at least one of them is still going: https://www.seamonkey-project.org

Seems like all it would take to resolve this is a viral story about someone getting robbed or raped by people pretending to be security and breaking into rooms. Defcon people should be able to easily stage something like that and spread the

I made my own variant of this as well, although it was just config files & shell scripts wrapping OpenSSL instead of being a custom binary.
