I have not historically been one of Hixie’s fans, but his goodbye-to-Google note is clear-eyed, humane, matches up with my own experience there, and sticks the dagger into a few places that seem to deserve it. Recommended: http://ln.hixie.ch/?start=1700627373&count=1

Hey look, Sony is about to ship C2PA on a bunch of cameras: https://petapixel.com/2023/11/21/sonys-in-camera-authentication-technology-passes-aps-tests/

Instagram blocked the #joinPixelfed hashtag not long ago, and Twitter too.

Don't forget that 😉

Talking publicly about any cryptocurrency investments you may have -- let alone bragging about them -- strikes me as a very risky flex. We're starting to see more reports of people outside the cybercrime scene getting robbed at home, and forced at gunpoint to give up their crypto accounts or wallets. There is a LOT of room for growth here, and there are a wealth of targets or "targs" as the thieves call them.

These attacks expose a fundamental risk of crypto: At the end of the day, YOU are the bank. For criminals, there is certainly a risk that someone can get hurt or killed in these robberies and home invasions, but the up front investment needed to carry out these muggings is practically nil, while the potential payoff is astronomical.

Am I the only one who finds questions like “what are your favourite [subject]?” impossible to answer?

I just can’t avoid overthinking these types of questions. Same with things like “if you had only one [thing] to watch/read/play on a desert island/for the rest of your life, what would it be?”

Again, I end up thinking of every possibility into the most literal sense possible, and can’t answer.

Because apple has long abandoned this, someone in my town thought this was dead and was going to toss it in the trash.

Luckily, it can be liberated with #linux!

@gsuberland A friend of mine has seriously looked into starting a business of "neutering" smart TVs.

Open it up, completely remove the motherboard. Keep power supply and panel, replace the electronics with an FPGA that just takes HDMI/DisplayPort in and drives the panel.

Then resell it as a dumb display.
