After some back and forth with Claire on the bug
An alternate fix is available now (you can find it at https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/30450), which looks like it might get merged 😎
@davidho I fear the cables which are run to light poles might not be able to cope with the amount of amperage that goes through when charging an #EV. Causing possible fires, etc.
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.
@maddad not quite. Microsoft is way worse. They record it and then allow anyone with access to your user / machine to get your full history. Malware included.
Here’s an idea: let’s call people “people” on the fediverse instead of “users” whenever we can.
Compare:
“There are 42 users on this instance.”
vs
“There are 42 people on this instance.”
Which acknowledges our humanity more?
Language matters. We don’t need to perpetuate mainstream technology’s othering/colonial framing of “us” – designers/developers/other “clever folks” – and “them” – the users (usually one step removed from “dumb user” and usually the ones who get used).
Got talking to a biker guy, last night. He told me he has been on the carnivore diet for the last two years. When he started this diet he weighed 178kg (~28 stone). He now weighs 88kg (~14 stone). He is only half the man he was!
His before and after photos were even more impressive.
