Edward Snowden, May 2016
This is someone’s personal fork of Cantata. (The original is no longer receiving updates.)
What makes this one more useful or trustworthy than the 183 other forks? Why did the person behind this one strip/avoid the upstream reference, which GitHub normally applies to forks?
5·24 days agoNot MetLife. MetLife Stadium.
They infest humans, too.
121·29 days agoA You Should Know post is generally expected to offer little-known information, mainly the kind that can significantly improve many people’s quality of life. What you have posted here is widely known and trivial, and therefore fails both criteria.
It would be a better fit in Today I learned. (But not much better, because pointing out the existence of an old, well-documented, basic software feature is not the least bit interesting.)
The article talks about cattle, but these things infest humans, too.
21·1 month agoThe word naphtha comes from Latin through Ancient Greek (νάφθα), derived from Middle Persian naft (“wet”, “naphtha”), the latter meaning of which was an assimilation from the Akkadian 𒉌𒆳𒊏 napṭu (see Semitic relatives such as Arabic نَفْط nafṭ [“petroleum”], Syriac ܢܰܦܬܳܐ naftā, and Hebrew נֵפְט neft, meaning petroleum)
2·1 month agoMatrix is… really crashed and often breaks.
Matrix is a protocol. It’s not possible to crash it.
I did find that certain Matrix implementations had a habit of breaking when encryption was used, until about a year ago. From what I’ve seen, recent versions appear to have fixed it. Element X is worth a try.
Back to your original question: Matrix apparently supports whatever UnifiedPush distributor you choose, such as ntfy.
Are you implying that Spice Hoarder is a camel?
Unfortunately, license plates are but a small fraction of what these things can capture. Your face, gait, and voice, for example.
While looking for ways an individual can fight these laws, this site came up:

I haven’t vetted it yet. Does anyone know if it’s endorsed by a trustworthy organization? (For example, have some proof/confirmation that their list of affiliates and partners is legitimate?)
404 error.
Renouncing? Won’t that make it harder for the others to vote better leaders into office?
Isn’t this what Trump wants?
I wonder if that detail is true, or yet another lie from the Trump administration.
9·2 months agoIf I understand correctly, this could be exploited to escape linux namespaces, which which are the foundation of containers like Flatpak and Docker. Those were never very good security boundaries, but running untrusted code in them is now especially dangerous, until your kernel is patched.
Edit: I dunno why but this post is getting botted by a bunch of new accounts from Lemmy.org
The only times I’ve noticed lemmy.org were because of bad, bot-like behavior. Is that instance just a bot farm?
Here’s what the EFF has to say about it:
