I don't like Facebook as much as the next person, but the news surrounding it are getting absurd.Now Facebook is allowing anyone to look you up using your security phone number https://www.fastcompany.com/90314763/now-facebook-is-allowing-anyone-to-look-you-up-using-your-security-phone-numberNOW?? That has been the case for at least a decade.While I was still in high school somebody tried to prank me by sending me SMS from an unknown number, and I found out who it was with one Facebook search. What changed NOW? Back then Facebook was a "cool thing" and nobody dared criticizing it.

@galaxis No, it's absolutely the same thing.Facebook introduced 2FA a long time ago (here's an article last updated in 2010: https://zeltser.com/why-facebook-one-time-passwords/) and us early adopters of it experienced this all the way back then.

In an attempt to simply the terminology in the fediverse, I propose we start referring to "instances" as "neighborhoods". Here's a short pitch:Each neighborhood:* Has its own set of rules.* Has its own "guard" (sysadmin) that makes sure there are no incidents.* Is usually (but not always) focused on a common theme. You can send an update to:1. A specific person.2. Your own neighborhood.3. Entire network.IMO this proposal would make things about 30% easier to understand for newcomers.

@balibebas @jerry Apple's ToS contains similar text. For example: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/us/terms.html (search for "weapon").

@dead_gnostic @libreture I was just about to be impressed by how they handle cookies, but alas...

@libreture @dead_gnostic If I had to guess, I'd say that they've set this up somewhere around May last year with a legit desire to comply with the GDPR, but then kind of just gave up and forgot about it (since they themselves don't see this when visiting their website outside Europe).

The number of YouTube recommendations that are in their essence just some shitheads browsing through reddit for money is too damn high.

@chartier I've also backed them up with no assumption of an US office. I've supported it for the sole purpose of expanding into English, with no expectation from where they'll do that exactly.

@FurryJulie It was a long time ago, but I've used Kanboard's cli to export a project, and then some script to import the generated CSV.

@funkwhale I understand needing an account to vote, but to even *see* the options? The pop-up disables scrolling and can't be dismissed without typing in an email address.Can you please list them here? I could only read two of them behind the pop-up.

One of my craziest dreams is to wake up one day in a country where when some essential service needs to go down during a workday (power, water, gas, Internet), there'd be a warning at least a week ahead.

There are certain people whose ideals you agree with, but completely dislike their approach of achieving them.One heroic action does not mean that the person who committed it should not be held accountable for the future actions they've made in life.If the US tried to extradite Julian Assange, that would truly be horrendous. If the UK and/or Sweden want to hold him accountable for his actions, they should do that.

I don't like people who find doing something without profit in mind as a far-fetched idea.

@cybeardjm @switchingsocialI've purchased a new theme (for Ghost, not WordPress) a few days ago. Here's what I had to do:1. Self-host fonts from Google Fonts. 2. Remove Disqus comments (commented out, but I still didn't want it).3. Self-host font-awesome and some random JS libraries loaded from CDNs (I'd be okay with leaving it at one CDN, but it connected to 3-4 CDNs).~15 requests are now handled by the same server, instead of requesting stuff from 3rd parties.

@cybeardjm The worst things is I really couldn't tell that it had trackers until after I've purchased and downloaded the theme.I'm not saying I wouldn't purchase this same theme if I knew (I find it gorgeous, and removing trackers is a minor hassle), but if I were looking for a new one, I'd like a privacy-respecting store that @switchingsocial is looking for.

There's a person out there that made an Amazon-exclusive book available on a torrent site......and then added a file to that same torrent that's basically an ad for Audible with a referral link.

The episode kept me in suspense, the music was spectacular, the end was wholesome, but the writing...Holy fuck. I was convinced that Ghost is dead, as well as Brianne, Sam, and one of the dragons. Then I saw them all alive in the preview of the next episode.What were the other White Walkers doing the entire time? What the fuck was that scene between Sansa and Tyrion when it looked like they're gonna kill themselves and then they just... walked away?

The defense strategy looked dumb as fuck. It's like the writers never played a single strategy game in their life.Dothrakis were sacrificed pretty stupidly (although that scene was epic), catapults were placed *in front* of the trenches and fired only once(!), and the archers were just chilling inside the castle while everyone in front died.It will take some advanced time teavelling miracle from Bran to justify all the characters surviving the impossible.

Why is Jon still alive?Beric was brought back to life multiple times. His purpose was saving Arya, after which he died one last time. Melisandre served her purpose and died.Lord of Light brought Jon back to life. Presumably, his purpose was to gather the army that would defend them against White Walkers. Wasn't his purpose fulfilled as well?Every other plot related to Lord of Light ended in this episode. Yet when it looked like Jon was about to die, he just walked away.
