The Cybertruck does not ship with clear coat, a protective outermost layer of transparent paint.

Instead each Cybertruck owner has the option to purchase a $5,000 urethane-based film to "wrap your Cybertruck in our premium satin clear paint films. Only available through Tesla."

Just like with the Twitter takeover, what seems like obvious incompetence to anyone with familiarity of the industry is praised by fanboys who believe a billionaire genius can do no wrong. https://www.wired.com/story/this-is-why-teslas-stainless-steel-cybertrucks-may-be-rusting/

Where did the 39+ million users come from, as reported by @fedidb? This does not match the numbers reported for Popular Severs and Popular Software either.

I'm sure there are plenty of you who are blocking spam direct messages as fast as they can come in.

There's a setting in your notification preferences where you can block any direct message that's not coming from someone you follow. You'll also probably need to change your notifications to go off only if you get mentioned by someone you follow or someone who follows you.

Whatever is happening is probably not so much a spam wave as it is an attempt to undermine the Fediverse. For that reason, it may be better to not be so fast to block as blocking entire domains creates more fragmentation of the Fediverse and creates incentive for bad actors to sink an instance they don't like by opening up an account on that instance to harass already irritated people and create pressure for admins to block that domain.

I'll change my notifications and DMs back after the wave passes.

Remember everybody: The whole NY AG case against Trump began because Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, representing Queens & the Bronx, asked Michael Cohen if he had ever seen the Trump Org overstate assets to one audience and understate them to another.

This is what Congressional questions can do. It is a travesty that most members just rant for 5 minutes and then give witnesses 5 seconds to respond.

🎬 The App Store will continue to be the only place to install apps on the iPhone, even in the EU. Users should be aware that the App Store collects exhaustive usage data and sends it to #Apple. This can't be turned off. We made this video to show how tapping an app link gets recorded in details.

After tapping a link posted on X, we requested a copy of the Apple ID data and we found this: (76,779 records in 734 days 🤯)

This year, Proton turns 10. And while past performance doesn't determine future results, here's why Proton is able to sustain its mission over the long-term: https://proton.me/blog/sustaining-mission-over-time

Looks like a money laundering scheme if someone actually was "transparent" and drew out their process. But they keep on getting press about them saving humanity in this case.

California nonprofit law is truly broken when OpenAI can be called a non profit. Not that the nonprofit industrial complex isn't broken already. But the dude talking about taking 7T dollars to save humanity is still running a "nonprofit"?

Dangerzone is security software, and security software should be independently audited.

So we reached out to OTF's Red Team Lab and asked for help with exactly such an audit. :) The good folks at Include Security conducted the audit itself.

Good news: Dangerzone does, indeed, help keep you safe from malware and trackers in electronic documents.

The audit found no critical, high- or medium-impact vulnerabilities.

Read more about the findings here:

ChatGPT does not have “a memory.” It does not “remember” anything. OpenAI is just storing data about you and your engagement with its product.

I’m begging the media to stop repeating tech companies’ misleading framings of their products.

Trump still doesn't understand how NATO works, he still thinks allies "owe us money" and he's now sending a signal to Russia to attack them while the crowd cheers. This is an invitation to Putin to broaden the war.

“Uber’s margins fattened as competitors fell by the wayside and the company ground down costs.”

Those “costs” are driver wages. Uber’s shifted billions from drivers to corporate coffers and that will now fund a big share buyback and potentially a dividend.
