For those who aren’t aware, Microsoft have decided to bake essentially an infostealer into base Windows OS and enable by default.

From the Microsoft FAQ: “Note that Recall does not perform content moderation. It will not hide information such as passwords or financial account numbers."

Info is stored locally - but rather than something like Redline stealing your local browser password vault, now they can just steal the last 3 months of everything you’ve typed and viewed in one database.

@Infoseepage @ThibaultDu Companies are structured optimally to work around individuals morals. Workers can blame their bosses who blame their bosses up to the CEO who says the market or shareholders demand it, everyone has someone to blame to silence their morals

The organizers of @pycon have given community organizers a massive gift 🎁

Let's not squander it!

A sold out 2024 proved that even large events can prioritize safety and inclusion for caregivers and immunocompromised people by way of requiring masks, and gathering venue data to calibrate their policy from year-to-year. Smaller events have proven it's possible at that scale, too.

Now is the time for at least one other large event to step up.

Who will it be? 👀

🤡There's a non-zero percent of the US population that genuinely believes that The NFL, Joe Biden, "The Pentagon" and Taylor Swift, conspired to create a fake relationship and rig the NFL playoffs, so that Taylor Swift could pop out in the middle of the Superbowl halftime show and say "Vote for Biden!"

I wish I was kidding.

Like, not a small percentage either.

One thing that's wild to me is that we've gotten fairly solid at building distributed systems that are resilient, workable, and fairly decently designed... As soon as they hit a certain amount of scale, and only then.

So much shit out there just gets slapped together with every single cloud scale mega-cluster service and tool like its a limited edition box of candies that's going out of stock

@c0dec0dec0de @hazelweakly @weilawei the problem is that you hit the complexity ceiling long before you get the revenue to afford having a team only to maintain the developer tooling required for the local inner loop

Ok, I’m sorry, I’m going to ruffle feathers here but… I’m trying to read some newer development process books and… oh my… even super popular ones are so immensely long winded and unconvincing in their dogmatic argumentation: this is bad, this is good, because I said so that’s why.

Recent examples that I’m struggling to finish: “Team Topologies” and “Data Mesh” - I mean they might be great but I’m getting strong “this should’ve been a blogpost” feels.

New conspiracy theory just dropped:

He went on to claim he won Pennsylvania twice (he didn’t win in 2020) and warned voters that Democrats plan to “change the name of Pennsylvania” if Joe Biden wins this election.

“We have to win in November, or we’re not going to have Pennsylvania. They’ll change the name. They’re going to change the name of Pennsylvania,” Trump said.

(I know he's far too dangerous to be funny but I still found myself in stitches unf; I want to know the new name)

Had a brief look at the passkeys preview in and got stuck. It says I need to register an aaguid for the authenticator app but the only way to get the guid is to register the app as an auth method?

I get that it's a preview but usually a preview is a checkbox and not magically guessing the correct guid 😂

I think this book affected me in a completely opposite direction of what was intended. I am extremely motivated to make monolithic apps now.

Brb gonna write a blog post on my distributed app hosted in a single process doing synchronous message passing through compiler generated stubs (cough function calls) and how running my “distributed app” in the same virtual memory space lends itself to improved performance, monitoring and debugging. Imma call it Virtual Distributed Monolith. Pay me to be your consultant 💰

I’ll just write bs blog post like: “Real Time Audio with personalized addressing system allowing instant multichannel audio collaboration”

@nebula @poppastring Microsoft is basically using their credibility to legitimize the domestic abuser Spyware market. Not by choice(I believe) but by accident

Paxxi,
@Paxxi@hachyderm.io avatar

@nebula @poppastring nothing was stopping an abuser from doing that. It's an industry that's mostly demonized and considered sleazy.

The fact that this comes in the box and from a company talking about diversity and inclusion and responsible AI is the difference.

Paxxi,
@Paxxi@hachyderm.io avatar

@nebula @poppastring I haven't read enough about the design of Find My to know what mitigations Apple has and if they're good enough but I agree that it's also a technology that's inherently problematic.

As for fixing it, being vocal and organizing.
