important safety/security concern if you have an accessible amazon wishlist and especially if you use it to receive things from internet people or other strangers: you can no longer disable sharing your address with third party sellers. These folks can and often do disclose it to the purchaser.And, to be clear, anyone can be a third party seller on Amazon which means anyone can get your physical shipping address and full name with ease.Despite what this email says, the Amazon list page says this functionality is already disabled thus you are already at risk ("This setting will no longer be supported starting February 25, 2026. After this date, third-party sellers will receive your shipping address to fulfill orders.")This is bad. If you have any hope for privacy and do not use a PO Box, make sure to unshare your lists.

Now I'm curious how the data looks for us nerds over here on the fediverse: where do you register your domains?If at multiple places, let's interpret this as if you were registering a domain today, where would you register it?tackily if you don't mind boosting I'd actually like a lot of data on this I'm really curious!

got curious about the @ONLYOFFICE drama and it’s pretty funny how awful of a company onlyoffice is!the russian owner/founder of onlyoffice did a fake open source project to extract free labor from community contributions while profiting off that unpaid laboronlyoffice is in no way truly open source. i wouldn’t even consider it open core. many parts of the source are obfuscated or intentionally broken so you have to use their paid versions. the code is restricted through (arguably and likely unenforceable) additions on top of AGPL such as “you have to use our trademarks in any derivative work”… which would give them authority to restrict any derivatives from existence since they control licensing of their trademarks.which hey what a coincidence that’s what they are trying to do now!! a fork, Euro-Office, are attempting to create an actual open source office suite and branched onlyoffice maintaining the AGPL license (their github goes into why they felt a branch was necessary - basically the many problematic behaviors of the russian company behind onlyoffice)onlyoffice’s response is basically crying about being branched. yknow, a fundamental part of open source.sorry but it’s absurd to claim to be open source and also be a little bitch about someone branching your project because it hurts your feefees and makes it harder to profit off of unpaid labor.btw it’s pretty obvious how shit the company is just by going to the onlyoffice website. allll the hallmarks of late stage capitalism: surveillance cookies, popup ads harvesting pii, a self-obsessed old white man owner, tons of dark patterns trying to convince you self-hosting requires paying them hundreds of dollars a year.(the last might not be misleading though, they remove functionality from the community edition over time to force paid usage. for example: they removed the ability to edit documents from mobile devices arbitrarily and without notice… but you can pay to get that functionality back!!)great to see the Euro-Office fork push back against fake open source capitalism bullshit like onlyoffice.rating: a++++ would rabbit hole again
