I have bridged my Mastodon account to Telegram via Mastogram, let's see how well it works...

Telegram does not have alt text so I'll describe the image here: random picture of a Mio figure from Nichijou doing a surprised face.

@GlitchyZorua @Flux no comment.

@super_user_do l'ennesima botnet cinese per i lavaggi di cervello, sul serio non capisco come fa la gente a scegliere volutamente sta roba.

Several commercial #VPN services, many of which are often sponsored by YouTubers and such, and even some VPN review websites are owned by the same company, Kape Technologies (formerly Crossrider), which has a history of distributing #malware and #adware with ties to a former Israeli intelligence agent. The VPNs they own are ExpressVPN, CyberGhost VPN, Private Internet Access and ZenMate VPN.

@ufficiozero ci sarà questo sfondo di macOS Mojave incluso? Non è che Apple si arrabbia e vi denuncia o qualcosa del genere?

Now that DivestOS is discontinued, it's possible another project will take on their goal of harm reduction for end-of-life devices. DivestOS was started before Treble, Generic Kernel Images and other improvements making device support far easier. A new project should avoid being based on LineageOS.

@waifu who doesn't?

"OpenAI expects about $5 billion in losses on $3.7 billion in revenue this year, CNBC confirmed in September. Those numbers are increasing rapidly."

So… The business model is to train models on everyones' data without paying them, then lose a billion dollars.

@GlitchyZorua @melontini Java is here, Java is there, Java is everywhere!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@SuperDicq too many repos where I might want to post issues are on GitHub.

@raccoon if only SpaceHey supported that...

@thunderbird one little question from me: how come Thunderbird for Android has telemetry that goes to Google Firebase and there is no option in the settings that I could find that disables this?

@BrodieOnLinux nevermind, it's a different feature altogether. I was using FreeTube so it showed up in the audio tracks menu.

@BrodieOnLinux on one of my videos I have "stable audio" as an alternate audio track, I didn't do that, I guess YouTube automatically elaborated a version with a more consistent volume?

@bartholin look at the Interstella 5555 AI "remaster", it's a mess, but I've heard they lost the original masters so I don't know what could have been done.
