Just slowly finished @pluralistic’s Enshittification while moving into new apartment, switching to Mastodon, and replacing big tech one tiny app at a time. Enjoyed the book immensely. Am now fully radicalized. Smash the technopoly. Take me to your FOSS.

They finally did it. Microsoft has successfully over-engineered a text editor into a threat vector.
This CVE is an 8.8 severity RCE in Notepad of all things lmao.
Apparently, the "innovation" of adding markdown support came with the ability of launching unverified protocols that load and execute remote files.

YouTube's shitting the bed, 99% of videos I click on are just having this error... Not sure what's wrong here and never had this problem in the past.

After some testing it seems to be something with Adblockers (I'm using uBlock Origin and as soon as I disabled it I could play videos again), This sucks.
So yeah @_elena@mastodon.social your video can't be watched in the UK with an adblocker.

THIS is how you treat customers when they close an account.
Notwithstanding their absolutely perfect follow-up email, it was super easy to find the button to close my account, and when I clicked it, there was no further bullshit. Just "your account is closed. Thanks for your business!"
Big ups to Feedbin...they've been a great service, and I'd keep using them forever for $5/month if I weren't self hosting my RSS feeds now.
