it's ridiculous how it's now normal that computers are adversarial to their owners and using a computer now means to be working around constantly hostility of software designed specifically to not help you, and this is accepted enough that for young people that's their whole idea of what a computer is, a sort of scammy robot always trying to pull one over you
Fascinating practical networking research that exposes the gap between networking theory & real-world implementations. Valuable for security researchers, network engineers, and anyone building custom network protocols. https://github.com/Hawzen/hdp
Wasn't it either. Been spending like 3 hours on this at this point 🥲 Might need to copy some more random configs into obscure locations?

New Mozilla TOS diff. This is what they just removed:
* Does Firefox sell your personal data?
> Nope. Never have, never will. And we protect you from many of the advertisers who do. Firefox products are designed to protect your privacy. That’s a promise.
The purpose of the new TOS appears to be to enable them to do this - such as for their advertising and AI sidelines.

@GeeksLoveDetail Yeahhhh. I won't actually make it for that reason 😅😅😅😅
@aparrish Yeah the two systems really feed into each other. I think that combined with lonely (vulnerable) people turning to digital social interactions makes a perfect machine for chewing people up and further isolating them.
I've seen some stuff on tiktok where folks just ask ChatGPT leading questions about things that patently make no sense and it'll just feed into it and add exciting new details in an authoritative tone. Meanwhile people in the comments will start spewing their personal delusions and "conspiracy theories" to further rabbithole each other from reality.
It's actually so over.
Occult Enby that's making local-first software with peer to peer protocols, mesh networks, and the web.
Exploring what a local-first cyberspace might look like in my spare time.
