The mission-driven tech company behind the Firefox browser, Pocket reader and other apps is now investing its energy into the so-called “fediverse” — a collection of decentralized social networking applications, like Mastodon, that communicate with one another over the ActivityPub protocol.
Yeah, Mastodon is much larger than Lemmy yet it feels like shouting into the void. I like it as a means to keep up on news by following journalists who’ve fled twitter but I’ve yet to get any real interaction on my posts. Meanwhile on Lemmy I’m never running out of things to read and people to discuss posts with.
Yep, it’s missing Mastodeck for web and Ice Cubes for iOS which are both quite popular. I’d understand it if the list were curated with a focus on lesser known apps and UIs but this looks like a random hodgepodge of selections. I bet that entire site is just a chatGPT generated info dump.
Unless he’s announcing that he’s moving to Mastodon I don’t give a single shit about anything Stephen King is saying on Twitter. You’re part of the problem dude.
Most instances of hacking rely on social engineering because the human element is typically the weakest point of any system. Real life isn’t a movie, hacking is a hell of a lot more mundane and the ways hackers achieve their goals are often as silly as this case where someone literally left a door open. So yes, this sign was “hacked.” And yes, it was the result of a very stupid mistake on the part of an employee of the NCDOT. The term isn’t dependent on the difficulty or complexity of the task. It just refers to finding a vulnerability and exploiting it.
Reese was working at a social club kitchen in May 2017 when “suddenly and without warning” a can of Swell cooking spray “exploded into a fireball, causing burns and injuries,” according to a lawsuit filed on her behalf. She suffered deep second-degree burns on her head, face, arms and hands, and scar tissue continues to constrict her movement six years later, according to one of her lawyers, Craig Smith.
I promise you that $7.1 million is not worth a lifetime of debilitating pain from horrific burns across your head, face, arms and hands. That woman would probably tell you off for even sarcastically suggesting this incident and the resulting verdict was some sort of wonderful stroke of luck.

This is exactly why the GOP are desperately trying to stop us from funding Ukraine. The entire party has been taken over by Russia.
Never forget that Sens. Richard C. Shelby (Ala.), Steve Daines (Mont.), John Hoeven (N.D.), John Neely Kennedy (La.), Jerry Moran (Kan.), John Thune (S.D.) and Johnson, and Rep. Kay Granger (Tex.) spend the 4th of July 2018 in Moscow.
It’s also not that difficult to configure hardened Firefox. It takes a minute or two and there are plenty of written and video guides that’ll have even the least tech savvy people up and running quickly. The tech literacy required to reasonably protect your privacy isn’t very high anymore. The biggest hurdle is getting people to care about their privacy in the first place.
Librewolf is a wonderful project but not something I recommend very often in my personal life, if only because most people just don’t need or want that level of protection at the expense of convenience.
