pros and cons of paying for disney+ vs piracy
disney+
pros:
- get most of the disney shows and movies
- can share account with ppl
cons:
- can't sue disney for any reason
- have to pay to use disney+
- shows and movies can be removed at any time
- you don't "own" any of the content you're viewing
- disney+ can and will probably shut down at some point, you may have to resort to piracy to watch things you enjoyed
piracy:
pros:
- free (mostly)
- can watch any movie you want for free, even those not on disney+
- can sue disney
- you own what you're watching. you have the file on your computer, and can keep it forever
cons:
- might need a vpn/seedbox depending on your country or if you're paranoid about your ISP. VPNs such as Mullvad/AirVPN can be used, which is cheaper than what you'd pay for disney+ anyways

I maintain an Android app that doesn't get any new features. I still have to keep upgrading it once in a while. The amount of deprecations I have to deal with is crazy. It takes a day each time I touch the app to just get it working with the latest Android Studio. I am not even fixing any bugs or adding features. All this running just to stay in the same place.
Now ask me if I will consider using cloud platform services from the same company that's responsible for Android.

I designed my personal website to load in 1 second on 38.4kbps dialup internet. I spent a lot of my life getting work done with my laptop tethered to a StarTac phone on 14.4kbps CDMA. Modern web developers have no clue what real world internet connectivity is like for the majority of users. https://mastodon.social/@simon@simonwillison.net/112984044070256201
@newt
Woah, turns out that even USB tethering boils down to emulating a USB network interface 😨
How did we even get here? Why bother with all that instead of just using wireless?!
I was always finding those guys annoying, the ones who complain that e.g. new phones do not support Java applications or newer operating systems not supporting older APIs… Except now I'm that guy! 😒

Hi. Person with 20 years experience in information security, IT and networking here.
Just wanted to let you know I just spent 3 minutes digging through the settings on my computer to figure out why my mouse was being weird.
I was holding it upside down.

I realized I've never written about my automated colour correction workflor for scanning. Might be helpful for some people.
Because I often scan large numbers of things in a session, I don't want to do any colour correction by hand. Instead, I use a fully automated workflow. I do calibration via an IT8 chart, a colour chart with a large number of swatches covering different a wide range of colours.

True, it's kinda beyond the whole infosec scope, but no cryptographic strength can withstand the pliers and the blowtorch 🤷
Being decentralised and staying below the radar is way more important.
@Hyolobrika
@romin
Exactly! But that's what I was expecting from such a hyped-up announcement TBH: "Okay, this part looks weak, Signal does it better",— so what? Give up a proof of concept exploit or go home!
It's not a question of "being an alternative to Signal" — for me and for anyone living in a non-free country Signal itself with phone number registration was never a viable choice.

I'm mostly worried about it because Rust newer than 1.75 is very unstable on the PowerPC machine I'm intending to host it on 😂
Probably has something to do with newer LLVM and those 128-bitwide data types, being a Tier 3 platform, you can never expect these things to be fixed soon 😫
@Hyolobrika
I'm fairly certain that a lot of hardware is still running without any mitigations at all to achieve higher performance, and yet… No real world consequences, nothing big enough to make the news 🤷
@Hyolobrika
Well, in that case it would most probably be hosted on a VPS blurring the concept of what CPU is and rendering such side channel attacks inefficient.
People are too much into timed cache attacks ever since Spectre made it a hot topic, despite this type of attacks existing since the Pentium Pro days.

Wow, Fediverse server software supporting MasoAPI and Rust 1.75!
Time to upgrade PostgreSQL to 15 and give it a try!

Mitra 3.2.0 finally adds UI elements for emoji reactions. This is a significant change and if you don't like it, let me know. I can add a setting that hides reactions.
