@bkeegan That's quite possibly one of the best "List of ..." pages in the whole of #Wikipedia.

Yep, it looks like there is a XSS vulnerability with Lemmy that has been widely exploited, allowing the attackers to steal cookie credentials including potentially those of the site admins.Some other non-compromised Lemmy instances have taken themselves offline until a fix is available. Kbin is not affected as far as I can see.If you have a Lemmy account, don't use it at the moment!#Lemmy #Fediverse #Threadiverse #XSS #infosec

@kaia "Puissant"? Basically means very powerful or influential.

@cwebber @tchambers Yeah I'm not sure Zuck has really thought it through."Here is our clean-cut prudish network. We would like to interact with the network started by queers, furries, trans activists and other people for whom sex and sexuality is an absolute core part of their identity".

@tchambers @web3isgreat And of course the JPEG of Jack's first tweet, which is all that the NFT references, was and remains completely free.Quite how allegedly intelligent (or at least evidently wealthy) people could get conned into paying for that sort of nonsense remains one of the great mysteries of the past few years.#NFT

@pre They have an accompanying blog post https://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/blog/2023-07-mastodon-distributed-decentralised-fediverse-activitypub which contains this very encouraging sentence:"The principles of the Fediverse, with an emphasis on local control, quality content, and social value, are far more aligned with our public purposes than those of avowedly commercial networks like Threads or Twitter."

Gah, why can't senior managers ever speak plain English?I work for a large organisation, and apparently the latest policy is to stop hiring temporary contractors and start recruiting permanent staff again.How was this policy change communicated to us in an email? With this:A substantial review of our Talent Acquisition operating model, capacity and service levels over this last year has indicated that to truly elevate our recruitment and sourcing service to the level that this organisation needs, we must increase our internal resource proposition.

Thoughts and prayers (but no more carbonated soft drinks) for @lproven who has just posted this on The Register:The new Raspberry Pi 5 – which, we can exclusively reveal today, does not cope well with having cola spilled over it so readers may not see a long-term test of the device (Sorry, Liam, but you did fess up in public!) 😄 #RaspberryPi5 #TheRegister #oops

This is not mine, it's from a colleague who posted it to our work Slack. But it's far too good to be left languishing there, so here's my (stolen, but I'm sure they'll understand) contribution to #Caturday.

@kyle Do you (or importantly your son) have access to a Raspberry Pi? They have a ton of resources for teaching programming e.g. https://www.raspberrypi.org/learn

@kyle I'd assume almost everything written to run under Raspbian would work under pretty much any other distro, so he still might be able to follow those tutorials

We're watching a TV police drama on the telly. While discussing a missing person, one detective asks the other if they think they're still alive.The response is "Well you can always hope, especially when there's no body".Especially when there's no body? I'd have thought that would be ONLY when there's no body. There's no point hoping someone's still alive when you're picking up their corpse, is there!

My own personal #FediTip is aimed more at experienced users than the newbies.It's simply this: follow the #introduction hashtag. It's an amazing way to find so many new people who are discovering this platform.And then of course follow them, interact with them, boost their posts and encourage them to follow and interact back. There's no better way to be made to feel welcome here.#Feditips #NewHere

@stux I know the UK and the Netherlands have a long intertwined history, but you really didn't need to follow us into the abyss. I hope you all come out of this OK.
