@degoogle I believe you should be speaking about Sapio so that many people contribute to its community driven database. Just saying (:

Cheradenine,

For anyone who doesn’t know wtf this means, it is

Sapio provides the compatibility matrix of an Android application with bare Android Open Source Project (AOSP) devices, coupled or not with microG.

FDA Approves First Medication to Help Reduce Allergic Reactions to Multiple Foods After Accidental Exposure

https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-approves-first-medication-help-reduce-allergic-reactions-multiple-foods-after-accidental

@news

Cheradenine,

There’s an NPR article Here

The TL;DR is

The medication is not intended for use during an allergic reaction. Instead, it is designed to be taken repeatedly every few weeks to help reduce the risk of reactions over time. The FDA said people taking the drug should continue to avoid foods they are allergic to.

So it seems to be along the lines of the pre exposure desensitization regimens.

Following Google Maps directions in rural Tasmania and encountered this sign.

Cheradenine,

This has always been the case. I lived on a road that did not go through, Google and Apple said it did, people would argue with me and I would say ‘I have lived here for eight years, go ahead I will see you again in twenty minutes’. The would come back twenty minutes later and be mad at me.

One day when I was really bored I looked through our city archives and found a map from the 1930’s showing the road went through(proposed, never happened). No other map did including the current city map, or my paper map.

Cheradenine,

I know, but being a beta tester for a map sucks, and this road had a ’ dead end’ sign.

Cheradenine,

It was always the same, ‘Maps says this road goes through/ it’s a shortcut’.

It made me wonder what nefarious things they thought I was up to by telling them the road ended at a small tree covered hill.

Australia is bigger than some people overseas imagine.

So here's a quick comparison of Australian states to their US counterparts.

Tasmania is Australia's smallest state, with a total area of 68,401 square kilometres.

That's bigger than West Virginia, Maryland, Ha​waii, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Connecticut, Delaware, or Rhode Island.

Australia's second smallest state is Victoria, at 227, 444km2.

It's larger than Minnesota, Utah, Idaho, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, Washington, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Missouri, Wisconsin, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, New York, North Carolina, Arkansas, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Ohio, Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Maine, Florida, or Pennsylvania.

Fun fact: Victoria is larger in area than Indiana and South Carolina combined.

Now on to the ones that might surprise you.

You know how Texans love talking up how big Texas is?

New South Wales is bigger than Texas.

And by quite a margin. NSW is 801, 150 sq km compared to 696,241 sq km for Texas.

South Australia is bigger than Texas, and Michigan. Combined.

SA is 984, 321 sq km.

Texas (696,241 km2) plus Michigan (250,493 sq km) is just 946, 734 sq km.

Queensland is bigger than Alaska.

Queensland is 1,729,742 sq km, compared to 1,717,854 sq km for Alaska.

That also means Queensland is bigger than Texas and California. Combined.

Texas (696,241 km2) plus California (423,968 km2) is 1,120,209 sq km.

You can add in Michigan too (250,493 sq km) and it's still only 1,370,702 sq km.

That's right kids. Texas, California, and Michigan combined are 359,040 sq km smaller than Queensland.

That leaves Western Australia. It's 2,527,013 square kilometres.

How big is that? Well, the combined area of Texas and Alaska is 2,414,095 sq km, so pretty bloody big.

Is decentralised federated social media over engineered?

Can't get this brain fart out of my head.

What would the simplest, FOSS, alternative look like and would it be worth it?

Quick thoughts:

  • FOSS platforms intended to be big single servers, but dedicated to ...
  • Shared/Single Sign On
  • Easy cross posting
  • Enabling and building universal Multi-platform clients.
  • Unlike email, supporting small servers

No duplication/federation/protocol required, just software.


@fediverse

Cheradenine,

Is the Google thing a joke?

@mozilla @thunderbird @firefox @moznews Encryptedclienthello is quickly becoming an essential internet cybersecurity standard now that cloudflare has adopted it for all of their web services and their own websites. Will https://firefox.com, https://thunderbird.net /,https://mozilla.org, https://developer.mozilla.org and https://getpocket.com adopt encrypted clienthello too to protect our browsing habits from VPNs, ISPs and exchange points along with DNSSEC, DNS over HTTPS and TLS 1.3.

Cheradenine,

Say (an encrypted) hello to a more private internet.

Nothing big, but kinda interesting. I'm excited to see how this will go 👀

@privacy

Cheradenine,

Does this preclude on device DNS filters?
