#Enshittification explains why with basically every Big Tech company the users are the product these days and not the customer. The customers are the Ad companies! A great talk by Cory Doctorow here on the topic if you have 30mins:

A great deal of #LLM and #AI is indeed hype and bullshit, but there's many basic #surveillance tasks (mostly pattern matching, and monitoring deviations from normal behaviour) that basic algorithms can very easily process quicker than humans, and feed their findings to humans for such purposes as #traffic #law enforcement - already #Australia and #UK are working together on "AI" enabled #CCTV cameras with #ANPR monitoring, that can detect not only #speeding but illegal use of #mobile phones and possible #DUI or defective vehicles (such as where the driver is having difficulty staying in correct lane)

#mcp is going to need to rediscover all the #security pitfalls of URI invocation that plagued #mobile devices and were ultimately solved through mechanisms to claim authoritative use of URIs to prevent applications from hijacking them.

MCP has two likely weaknesses by design: 1) Tool invocation hijacking (there's a global tool registry indexed by tool names and URI-like namespaces but zero assurance the right tool is bound to that namespace) and 2) Resource hijacking ( represented as URIs)

300 petites grues en véritable papier japonais pliées une par une et qui constitueront la prochaine grande suspension.
Pour des grues je dois admettre qu’elles volent super mal 😂. Mais je vous assure que l’ensemble sera impressionnant , doux et poétique.

Well, I have a "working" OAuth2 authorization mechanism for #ONI instances for #mobile.

So far it loads an #ActivityPub actor fetched from an URL that the user provides, checks if it matches an ONI main actor and then performs the authorization.

So far so good, it only took me about 3 and a half days of work to get to this point from zero knowledge about #dart or #flutter.

Not too bad, I'd say. goose_hacker

As you probably heard animated PNG images (APNG) have been standardized! So here's a story on how I used an APNG file to cut a phone's power consumption by 10 times in a common scenario during the weeks leading up to the launch of Firefox OS 1.0. We'll talk about webpage layout, rendering, mobile hardware intricacies, driver bugs and of course APNG files. 🧵 1/16

@gabrielesvelto I still remember #FirefoxOS and I'm still mad at @Mozilla / @mozilla_support / #Mozilla for self-sabotaging because neither me nor @fuchsiii nor anyone else I knew who did #WebDev / #AppDev / #MobileDev could even buy a device.
  • The only device that I was aware of launched in the #EU was a #SimLock'd & #NetLock'd #prepaid phone in #Spain which wouldn't sell it to us since they demanded #KYC with a spanish residency address.

I mean it's cool that one could just use #Firefox as #Emulator but no #mobile#OperatingSystem will have any chance of market attraction if one cannot buy the bloody thing!

  • Same like #OpenMoko: I'd love to get a #Neo1973 but none of the phone and electronic stores had it (and back then I was under 16 so I couldn't just make an account at an online shop)…

KDE devs have been quietly working on Plasma Keyboard, a new on-screen keyboard for desktop and mobile part of the “We Care About Your Input” KDE Goals initiative. Although not ready for texting yet, it has been making progress. Hopefully it'll be in a screen near you soon. Join the effort!
