@bnewbold I get it, but giant threads are broken on Twitter as well, just as they are on email. People keep adding and removing ccs. There are a million different ways of displaying the tree so everyone gets surprised by whichever display sequence Twitter happens to pick. You need to click every child of every post to surface other branches of the tree which weren't displayed for whatever reason. Notifications are haphazard. Etc.@cwebber

@admin Nice. The post language is currently set to English although the text is in Finnish. Is that intentional?https://fi.fedimeteo.com/helsinki/p/1735928246.910991

@evan WhatsApp's E2EE is only for show. It's documented that Facebook Inc. can decrypt everything e.g. for the purposes of backup. The mechanism by which they hold and give access to the decryption keys is not publicly documented. Allegedly "decrypted backups" reduce this attack vector, but I've not confirmed whether that's the case.https://security.stackexchange.com/a/145636/47770https://snee.la/posts/the-workings-of-whatsapps-end-to-end-encrypted-backups/

This doesn't mean said encryption is completely useless. It's a protection from some attackers, just not from WhatsApp/Facebook itself nor from anyone who can persuade WhatsApp to provide the decryption keys (such as the USA government and perhaps soon EU governments).#DeleteFacebook

@davidrevoy Thanks! Reading this episode out of context, I didn't immediately realise which pair was supposedly being too gay, because the kissing couple's assumed genders aren't obvious to me.What *is* very obvious is the "make love not war" message. If one misses that, they're clearly not trying to propagate the message of the comic.I wonder if your books are about to be banned in some libraries across the pond.https://lccn.loc.gov/2019202002#PepperCarrot

@fijxu Thank you so much for using a proof-of-work #captcha https://nadeko.net/announcements/invidious-and-the-bot-problem/ instead of centralised proprietary mass #surveillance aka Google/CloudFlare! You're a hero.#Invidious #Anubis

@lxo Yes it's unfortunate, but I mostly use it to share links. Does mpv/yt-dlp <URL> work for you?Is there a way to make mCaptcha work with LibreJS?

@lxo "playing the video is supposed to be useful to the user, whereas the proof of work [...]"I don't really see the qualitative difference here. When I play the video or audio there are parts of the decoding that are redundant for me, for example the video may be too high resolution or contain a padding intro/outro I'm not interested in or audio frequencies I can't here. "there has to be a better way"Maybe. I don't run an Invidious instance so I don't know. On wikis, QueryCaptcha works.

@lxo It's not like currency, precisely because it can't be accumulated. Timeless accumulation is the problem with currency; without it, a number of problems vanish.Anyway, we've still not established that any significant waste exists. That's not a philosophical question but something that a power meter can determine.

@lxo Captchas are always waste (compared to the user's task at hand). The question is whether this kind of captcha is more wasteful than the unfortunately more common ones. (The hypothetical benefits produced for datasets of proprietary captcha-makers are not verifiable and would only accrue to shareholders; they need not be counted.)

Alessandra Migliaccio scrive che il #mezzogiorno si definisce come l'Italia a sud di Napoli. L'Aquila, Campobasso, Benevento e Barletta promosse sul campo (di Telese Terme).https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2025-04-11/italy-train-travel-new-naples-to-bari-link-connects-south-with-europe (https://archive.ph/NPV4g#selection-1427.29-1427.115)Complimenti al genio che l'ha venduta a Bloomberg News, ma mi viene qualche dubbio sull'affidabilità del resto dell'articolo dove si cantano le lodi della linea ad alta capacità Napoli-Bari e dei tunnel di base di 27 km.#TAV #TAC #ferrovie #rail

In effetti c'è una coerenza interna. Se presumi come vera la tesi che una linea TAV/TAC risolleverà magicamente la Puglia da 150 anni di problemi incrostati, sei costretto a ridefinire tali problemi per escludere i luoghi dove è già arrivato il miracolo, come Napoli. (Salerno non pervenuta.)

«Mozilla has found that Bing doesn’t monetize traffic as efficiently as Google»https://www.theverge.com/news/660548/firefox-google-search-revenue-share-doj-antitrust-remediesWhat can this mean, if not that #Google sells out users (and their personal data) harder, thanks to their abuse of a monopolistic position? If Google's abusive monopoly profits stopped, this premium would vanish for #Mozilla too. How can DoJ say that it's fine for it to continue? Getting a cut from a criminal cartel is not a right.Other remedies will need to compensate.#antitrust

Thanks to a strike at Finnish meatpackers, which caused shortages, «plant-based proteins such as tofu, tempeh, and various plant-based meat alternatives have increased in popularity».https://yle.fi/a/74-20159734The unions of workers in the meat and dairy industry are obvious allies for the #vegan movement.

Yliopiston Apteekki fined over 1 M€ by the #privacy authority of #Finland for using #GoogleAnalytics and #Facebook trackers on its website. Looks like they switched to #Piwik now.(This is perhaps the largest online and physical retail pharmacy in the country, with over 250 M€/y in revenues.)https://finlex.fi/fi/viranomaiset/tietosuojavaltuutettu/2025/2473 (via https://gdprhub.eu/index.php?title=Tietosuojavaltuutetun_toimisto_(Finland)_-_TSV/108/2022&oldid=47802 )

#Orwell wrote about the #JustTransition in 1947 ("Toward European Unity"):«The European peoples, and especially the British, have long owed their high standard of life to direct or indirect exploitation of the coloured peoples. [...] But it is by no means certain that we can afford these things if we throw away the advantages we derive from colonial exploitation. [...] a long and uncomfortable reconstruction period for which public opinion has nowhere been prepared.»https://archive.org/details/collectessayorwe00geor/page/372/mode/2up
