@pathfinder I'm in bed with it tied up my back and it's working wonderfully!

Here’s the blog post I promised y’all on how I recommend switching password managers in 2026! It covers:
- why your iPhone or iPad, and not your Mac, might be the place to start your switch
- when to make the switch and how to treat your “old” app going forward
- tips and tricks for switching to Apple Passwords, if that’s where you’re going (can be skipped!)
- the recent controversy in password management and some thoughts on values

Being a creative little weirdo is an act of resistance.

@Seg @MuseumJoe fwiw the LG issue is they try to connect even if you don’t configure it (scan for open WiFi etc)

@muris

I'm sure I could do better, and will keep trying to, but I'm actually relatively satisfied with my answers to most of these questions! While a long way from perfection I'm so grateful that I've found orgs pushing for good things in each of these directions.

This affects the Fediverse.

This affects the Internet.

This is the equivalent of the "rubber hose method" of decryption.

All technical solutions (read: all technology) is subject to politics. To political power. To political interactions.

You cannot rely on purely technical approaches. You have to have social approaches, too. Like. Actual policy and procedure geared around social and political group dynamics.

Like. How will we react when the US Govt requires that @jerry to shut off infosec.exchange servers.

Or how we'll react when a specific Mastodon server is declared part of a terrorist infrastructure. Will federating with it mean any other Mastodon server is now part of the officially designated terrorist network (what then of people that federate with a server that federates with a server that is classified as part of a terrorist network. And so on)

You cannot carry the conceit that tech alone or a purely technical approach will save you.

"One guy in #Sweden built a #searchengine to fight Google, and it works.

It's called #MarginaliaSearch.

It runs its own #crawler and builds its own #index instead of borrowing Bing's. It has no ads, no investors, and no loans.

What it does differently: it ranks for text-heavy, non-commercial pages. Personal blogs. Old university pages.

The weird corners SEO strangled. Every result tells you whether the page uses affiliate links and JavaScript, and you can filter them out.

There's an "explore" mode that just shows you random sites from the index. It's open source under AGPL, so you can host your own copy.

It's keyword-based, so don't type a full question at it. Type two nouns and see where you land. Every #searchengine now shows you the same twelve #monetizedpages."

@nitot il va falloir des morts pour que certains comprennent ?

@federicomena Could we make the SVG traversal stack-safe by eliminating input-depth-dependent recursion and using an explicit heap-backed traversal stack instead?

@davidgerard

So let me get this straight, Management can’t calculate ROI, AI is more expensive than human workers, And human workers dance on AI heads?

But it’s management who’s decided it’s the way to go. Seems to me that the compensation scale of management is just a wee bit overrated.

Also, you know if you get rid of all the human under length who does management have to blame when things go desperately wrong?

OpenAI talking like gangsters while threatening an academic's career if he doesn't play along with their lies.

@MuseumJoe my samsung TV is evil but it is not allowed to touch the internet ever

I got 5GB/month because there was little difference in price between that and 3GB when I had stopped having a work-provided SIM. I don’t think I have used more than 1 GB any month since I’ve had it (around three years now). It turns out I am almost either near WiFi or I want to be disconnected from the Internet. The times when I am n9t near WiFi but do want the Internet are non-zero, but not big.

Pues no está muy actualizado, porque tiene un programa semanal de entrevistas en Radio 5 (RTVE). Es buena gente.

For all the crying about the "AI vulnerability apocalypse" - it's just business as usual in the trenches amongst orgs doing the doing.

Almost every CVE was never actually exploited, and that pattern continues.

CVEs are bundled up in patches by vendors, so you just apply the patches each month as usual.

A lot of people have, and continue to, cry wolf.
