Does anyone remember https://last-chance-for-eidas.org/?

Because eIDAS 2.0 passed in the EU last month without much note from... anyone. EFF, Mozilla, etc. (https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2024/1183/oj)

It appears to have the exact same text that the @eff was originally concerned about.

I'm not a lawyer so uh, is this something we're concerned about? 🤔

Providers of web-browsers shall not take any measures contrary to their obligations set out in Article 45, in particular the requirements to recognise qualified certificates for website authentication and to display the identity data provided in a user-friendly manner.

If @protonprivacy is serious about the recovery email/numbers being optional, they should remove this non-dismissable (dark pattern) warning in their settings tbh

It's even worse now that it shows an orange dot on the security center sidebar icon in the inbox as well, there's no escape! Let me accept the risk!

I’m glad Apple’s iPad Pro marketing video is getting the hate it deserves, I was sad watching that during the event. That arcade cabinet looked pretty neat.

Man I wish 3 Body Problem came out on Apple TV+ instead of Netflix so I wouldn't have to worry about whether it'll be renewed for a second season 😳

Setting up a #Letterboxd profile and finding myself wishing that there was an ActivityPub alternative 🤔

How long can Apple realistically continue to operate in bad faith in the EU? They really need to reconsider their positions and settle down, they're fully capable of making something that just works well for everybody if they wanted to 🙄

Why didn't I see anyone talking about #Chromium adding (in GUI) support for configuring/disabling JavaScript JIT and WebAssembly in 122? Seems like a killer security feature.

A few hours ago I received an email that the Open Collective Foundation is dissolving at the end of this year, with new donations no longer being accepted by mid March.

This is an absolute disaster for our work at @privacyguides, which has been fiscally hosted by OCF for many years now. Now we have to incorporate as an independent 501(c)(3) or find another fiscal host, move to another platform to accept donations, and deal with losing all our current regular donors. I predict a lot of lawyer time in my future.

What a headache 😭

Finally finished clawing back all my Mastodon instance media from Wasabi S3 back to my own SSDs 😌

It's still crazy to me that Mastodon seems to have decided that the best way to block spam registrations is to get everyone to use perhaps the most annoying/difficult CAPTCHA provider on the planet.

Signal called out specifically by Apple today, as they add post-quantum cryptography to iMessage: https://security.apple.com/blog/imessage-pq3/

I will be very interested to hear what @signalapp / @Mer__edith has to say about this 😄

How can plugging in a microSD card make my MacBook Pro completely crash?

jonah, 3 months ago to random

Okayyyy, I made a bit of a mistake (saved the database dump to /tmp and subsequently rebooted before restoring the backup).

It's not a huge deal, I just have to redo the database backup (which took a while the first time around), so... mstdn.party is going to be offline a little longer than I hoped 😢 #MstdnParty

#MstdnParty and #MstdnPlus have been upgraded to Mastodon v4.2.7. As always, let me know if you notice anything off 😃

Has anyone with an Apple Vision Pro confirmed whether it has Lockdown Mode yet?

tootctl media remove-orphans
... 1 day later ...
Removed 391249 orphans (approx. 127 GB)

This doesn't seem right... any #MastoAdmin know how/why orphaned media could've built up to this degree? This reduced my storage in Wasabi to 1/10th of what it was before.

So who's buying #Monero on sale today? lol

Interesting new filled in square icon in the #Mastodon v4.3.0 alpha when you boost a post.

I just realized that's probably for colorblind people using the web interface, what a neat #accessibility feature 😄

The same icon gray and not filled in when not selected.

I’m watching a show on Amazon Prime and they start playing an ad right in the middle of it, WTF?

If this is the new norm for streaming they’re not giving me a lot of options here 🏴‍☠️

The Kids Online Safety Act just won't go away. If you live in the US, make sure your lawmaker is opposed to KOSA (and ask them to pass some real federal privacy laws while you're at it).
