@PhenomX6 Is mastodon.social still even federated or did they split off into their own thing?

Let’s visit, for a moment, the psychopathy that is the managerial business mindset in its treatment of end users. Courtesy of Hot(Fart)Jar:

What is website session recording software and why is it important?

Website session recording software is any tool that lets website owners track and record user interactions and sessions on their websites. These tools give you playbacks (or videos) of real user actions on your digital product, so you can closely monitor: User movements

They just state it so blasé like its just the most natural thing :akko_shrug:

Although recording tools give you detailed insights into user behavior on your site by letting you access replays of user sessions, user privacy must be at the core of any software you use. Protecting user data against data harvesting or mining with privacy-first tracking tools lets you glean valuable insights from your recordings without risking customer loyalty or legal complications.

They pretend to be so noble. If you cared at all about user privacy, then you wouldn’t surveil your visitors at all in the first place. lol at (((privacy-first tracking tools))) :akko_thonk: as if such a thing could exist. That’s like saying freedom-first prison cell.

And this is just the stuff that goes on with web “applications”. Just imagine the level of all seeing eye-ism that goes on in proprietary mobile TrApps :AbsolutelyProprietary:

@projectmirai39 It has been fine on the big DEs and Sway since like three years ago. The small DEs are still twiddling their thumbs.

@p And here’s the list reformatted for use in a hosts file.

@ItsSkyDragonz Even the people who work with it professionally openly admit that its an awful material.

Society: “sorry but a bus doesn’t count as reliable transportation we’re going to have to let you go”

Also society: “You voluntarily entered into this auto insurance extortion. What you don’t want to be extorted? Well you don’t have to drive a car!” :0210:

@PhenomX6

Conditioning.

It also happened to forum usage. People just post links to youtube videos or articles and say or share nothing original to engage with in the thread. They’re just doing what they’ve been trained to do by reddit.

@test_1111111 @Suiseiseki

But it does. This news is years old. I agree, security is a thing. And good security has layers. The idea behind monitoring (post boot) of your /boot partition is to be alerted to any unexpected changes.

For a threat model involving “glowers” with UEFI a based system my primary concern would actually be in the CPU frontdoors before I spent any significant time worrying about the bootloader. But then again, I’m using neither UEFI or GRUB.

Fedi probably isn’t the place to post this, but I already opened the can of worms here.

The relevant code block from block_cloudflare_mitm_fx:

The implementation archive.today is using isn’t matching the conditionals somewhere here. The extension hasn’t been updated in five years, so I’m not sure the original author is still around to accept any changes.

Ah, the glowies got him

archive.today is still encumbered with clownflare but for whatever reason, its usage of clownflare remains undetected by Block Cloudflare MitM addon.

Makes me wonder how many other sites are flying under the radar.

I do my best to not give them a single cent, although it’s very hard to do so.

It’s not even difficult to avoid, really. I can’t even remember the last time I’d bought a proprietary normieware. I guess it depends on how much pressure soyciety is exerting upon you to capitulate.

@Hempressemilym @furgar “‘standing ready’”:

Excerpt from the Nym whitepaper

Today, the internet permits pervasive surveillance that could become the basis of unprecedented forms of tyranny. Yet at the same time, the kind of communication and coordination that the internet makes possible represents the last best hope for humanity on a planetary scale. Whether the core protocols of the internet end up supporting privacy as a core feature will determine whether our future holds servitude or liberation. Already, ordinary people from Syria to Europe are facing life or death consequences for their software choices. While privacy might seem like a luxury, privacy options can make or break freedom of the press and popular resistance to totalitarian power.

“could become the basis” I guess they missed the part where it’s already been happening and continues to accelerate.

One of the things that is always challenging to articulate to normies is why the software that is in popular use is of any greater consequence to their lives.

This must be that tether they keep talking about

I learned that there is a WIP fediverse project that seeks to implement forums over ActivityPub. If it matures, it would be enough to convince me away from akkoma and pleroma.

The one failing point of traditional forums IMO is that they are all siloed into their particular interest niche. Federation fixes this.

@Terry @ChristiJunior @Dan_Hulson The web itself is capable of facilitating all of those “crimes”. Are they going to try to ban web browsers too?

This is also going to be a great opportunity for all those telegram normies to learn the folly that is placing one’s trust in centralized infrastructure.

@meowski @alex Adobe is undoubtedly unrivaled in

Ball-and-chaining users to an external service
Rent seeking
Exfiltrating user data
Exploiting user’s work to train AI
Making users ask for permission from Daddy Adobe
Stealthily modifying other already installed programs
Cluttering systems with additional malware

Oh when will GIMP or Krita ever catch up to the great Adobe?
