mckean,

@Gaugo @protonmail you got a source for this? or is it an opinion? When I was using windows I was always using one, and was glad I did.

mckean,

@Gaugo @protonmail this article doesn't support your claim.

mckean,

@Gaugo @protonmail yeah... well... while I do understand where you are coming from, I would refrain giving this advice to others. you can only lose 🙈

mckean,

@Gaugo @protonmail if you're lazy and don't want to read the whole article I suggest reading the verdict.

ICYMI, I wrote and published this short article last week. Might be of interest to some local and people.

mckean,

@seanb honestly, if I were you I would reach out to the news company and ask them if they want to look after their domain themselves. Are you charging them more than 30 bucks a year? The move you describe in your article doesn't shine a good light on you.

    @passthejoe in 99% of the cases (even though I haven't had more than 20 cases probably) where I thought was it fault it was actually me... what's not working?

    Working on a browser extension that supports both automatic blocking and soft-blocking of Twitter Blue users. If the soft-blocking mode is set, it can hide tweets from Twitter Blue users without needing to send any requests to the Twitter server. It also has support for excluding accounts you follow or who have more than X followers.

    mckean,

    @malwaretech @GossiTheDog not really accurate. They can alter the response format. Still, it's more "expensive" for them to do this compared to changing the UI.

    So Google is now preventing people from removing location data from photos taken with Pixel phones.

    Remember when Google's corporate motto was "don't be evil?"

    Obviously, accurate location data on photos is more useful to a data mining operation like Google.

    From Google: "Important: You can only update or remove estimated locations. If the location of a photo or video was automatically added by your camera, you can't edit or remove the location."

    It's enshitification in action.

    mckean,

    @ajsadauskas @technology @pluralistic this isn't necessarily addressing the issue/concern but I urge everyone to use an exif stripper before sharing a photo. Scrambled eggsif is doing that in a convenient way, share to the app and it will allow you to share to the destination of your choice (piping). https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jarsilio.android.scrambledeggsif

    A timely reminder that “punishable by fine” means “legal for the rich.”

    mckean,

    @aral I think we already did the cutting of limbs thing a while back, that wasn't well received either. What are you proposing?

    mckean,

    @aral it seems we didn't take many steps with the initial statement, so why suddenly add more steps? I do like your statement, but it is flawed.
