TIL that iphones regularly transmit the Mac addresses of devices attached to the same WiFi network to Apple. In addition to their geographical location of course.

So essentially you can be tracked across all locations where an iPhone is near you (and you haven't disabled your WiFi).

Wow.

The last major game translated in Basque was Minecraft (Java Edition). The last movie... I think it was a Basque movie or some Dragon Ball one.

Let's Encrypt has been using a new root certificate for a long time, but some older devices are still using the old root certificate the expired overnight

If you're dependent on that certificate, please update :)

funny to watch the entire electron app world on fire because of today's let's encrypt root expiration, can't say i expected that

As #Signal has had severe problems recently due to its centralised nature, here are some decentralised libre alternatives with Fediverse accounts:

➡️ @snikket_im - Initiative to give XMPP a consistent look and feel on instances and apps, to make it more attractive to new users

➡️ @xmpp - XMPP standards foundation

➡️ @delta - Decentralised messaging through email

➡️ @matrix - Best known for the Element client

➡️ @briar - Peer-to-peer encrypted messaging

➡️ @Jami - Peer-to-peer Skype alternative

the scientific process of learning through experimentation can be concisely summed up as "fuck around and find out"

Hey there, this is a bit meta but think I need to clarify what my accounts are for:

@feditips (this one) posts hints about using the Fediverse, including Mastodon, PixelFed etc.

@FediFollows recommends accounts to follow on the Fediverse, covering all kinds of topics.

The only reason a lot of FediFollows recommendations are computing-related is because that's the biggest topic on the Fediverse right now. If the Fediverse become more diverse, I will be able to give more diverse recommendations. I try to promote non-techy accounts when I find them, to help the diversity grow.

FediFollows tends to recommend accounts that focus on one topic, rather than general personal accounts. The best place to find general personal accounts is Trunk (https://communitywiki.org/trunk).

@FediVideos boosts interesting videos posted on the Fediverse. At the moment that means PeerTube, but if another Fediverse video platform appears then I'd boost that too.

The Framework laptop is the first laptop to ever score a 10/10 from Ifixit for repairability. But it's no thick-as-a-brick throwback the size of a 2005 Thinkpad - it's approximately the same dimensions as a MacBook.

Todos los medios de comunicación, algunos de ellos progresistas, han difundido durante toda la semana el bulo lanzado por Vox de que hoy se celebraba en Arrasate un homenaje a un miembro de ETA.
Mientras tanto, en Madrid:

Avui m'he assabentat que la Generalitat ha decidit que les persones que cursin FP en Administració i Gestió tindran un Mac per treballar a classe. ¿Algú em pot dir perquè collons volen un Mac per fer anar l'Excel? Estic indignat i crec que hauríem d'organitzar-nos i demanar explicacions al Departament d'Educació. Perquè compren Macs, perquè es gasten diners en llicències per Windows. Perquè es gasten diners en llicències de software privatiu i perquè collons no fan servir GNU/Linux als aules.
