#NixOS on the @mntmn Reform Beta

U-boot was a bit of work, kernel isn't quite ready, but sway worked out of the (home-manager) box.

DuckDuckGo burned a truckload of goodwill with me today

Their DDG-branded web browser for Android has a feature which [it doesn't matter what it does by design], but as a side effect it sends every URL you visited to DuckDuckGo's servers. That is the single worst thing they could do as a "privacy" focused web browser.

When this was pointed out to them, they doubled down. For a year. It took an HN front page (in the comments section they doubled down *again*) and 10 hours of arguing with them before the CEO stepped in and agreed to remove the feature.

If you are wondering how things are going in Germany: Our special forces (think Navy Seals) have to be reformed and disbanded partially, because of “right-wing extremist incidents”. Oh, and they also lost 48k rounds of ammunition and 62kg of explosives…

Among people who know about #XMPP (use, have heard, etc.), how many of you know what the XSF is?

Anyone here using a Ubiquiti Rocket M5? According to German Bundesnetzagentur the use in Europe is now forbidden.

Poverty exist not because there are no resources, it's because we can't satisfy the rich.

You gotta admit “trunk” would be a very on brand name for Mastodon’s default git branch

@Br0m3x
For the unaware, #Googlesharing was a web site that Mike Benham had set up by way of deceit about 10 years ago. He used a false identity (at the time had already started using the alias Moxie #Marlinspike, now his legal name) and false contact details in breach of both #ICANN rules and #French contract law.

He claimed that it was an anonymising proxy to Google, and it might have been so, but in the process he was in a position to collect whatever data he pleased from his many users.
