The library hadn’t had any updates in 2 years before this. Clearly it wasn’t maintained. If you’re a user and bothered by this super edge case “vulnerability”, fork it and take on the responsibility yourself.

I switched all my domains to Porkbun. No way I’m hanging out in Squarespace land.

I use it when I’m traveling and am on insecure WiFi.

However, it doesn’t let you pick your egress location,.so if you’re trying to get to PornHub in Texas, it won’t help.

Checkout https://infosec.exchange instead of blocking Threads, the admin made a second instance for people who wanted Threads blocked. Like 40 people migrated, lol

What is missing is that the podcast originally claimed it was entirely written and generated by AI. They only changed the story when they were sued.

And I don’t think any of their nude photos are appropriate for academic papers (unrelated to nudity research) either?

Yeah. The arbitration section of the agreement specifically says it only applies to US residents.

1. “Run around” = Respond to a thread that appeared in my subscriptions.
2. “Must lick Meta’s boots” = Let users decide for themselves to block Meta.

Your hyperbole makes it obvious you have no place in a reasonable debate about this topic.

I love when people conflate rights and ethics. I agree with you that no one has a right to be listed on Fedi Garden. And I still think it’s not nice to pressure admins into taking choice away from users.

“I don’t think it’s nice to federate with a company that has been cited in multiple independent reports of massacres/genocides,”

And I don’t think it’s nice to take the choice away from users. I can block threads all on my own – I don’t need a nanny who doesn’t even cite their sources.

The purpose is to learn how to publish code that cannot be used for forking as open source.

I have to obligate the folks to choose whether they want to pay me or help me code.

…it was not beneficial to me.

…new to gaining good visibility through open source,

Yeah. The maintainer said in their blog post they’re looking for a license that lets people read the code but not fork it. Isn’t that just standard American copyright?

Edit: Looks like they went with CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 Deed (Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International). So not an open source license and one that CC themselves recommends not using for software.

This blog from the maintainer makes it clear they have no interest in open source other than to advertise their own skills

Preparing for a New Beginning for Floorp

I’m more concerned that the company decided it was OK to meld the “From:” line of her email (asking for support) into her profile. If they think that’s an appropriate way to handle PII, I don’t trust them.

I hate patent trolls, but I will say “it couldn’t have happened to a nicer company”. I hope they both go broke on legal fees.

Misread that as “cat” and thought I was in for a cute satire, not a boring dystopia.

Not at all! I had to use ID.me for unemployment and it skeeved me out too.

They’re working to improve login.gov to support the level of user verification needed for this service, but it isn’t there yet. Hopefully next year when tax time rolls around again.

Interesting article! I can’t tell from the post, though, is this due to a limitation on bots in Matrix or that no one has invested to make a similar bot for Matrix?
