@sophieschmieg @nlupo @soatok How much of this drama is caused by djb’s fragile ego?

I wish Yoti a very happy get sued into oblivion

@aud Looks promising, but whoever built that PKGBUILD could have left out npm, and nodejs dependencies 🤮

@aud The upstream scripts/linux dependency list doesn’t include them. Also wtf is alsa-lib doing in there? That PKGBUILD is a mess…

@aud AHAHAHA! I just tried to clean up that PKGBUILD, and the fucking script to generate the license files OOM’ed my box, because I have the audacity to have only 32 GB of RAM, and I made the mistake to open up a browser :lolsob:

@aud Maybe. But those two + netcat make me think it’s a left-over from forking the zed-git package. If I’m bored tomorrow evening, I might clean this up a bit, and strip dependancies down to a “it compiles” minimum.

@aud Yep. And that’s not even compiling the actual program. That’s just cargo about in the prepare() part of the build… (And while I’m ranting: Why the fuck does it compile cargo-about?!? That’s packaged in the arch, btw repos, and explicitly listed in the makedepends(). Why is rust?)

@aud This makes me think that rust is not a good programming language. If it needs this much RAM, it’s just gatekeeping coding for those who can afford 128 gigs of RAM. Shit should compile on 8 GB, even if it takes hours. I fucking compiled KDE ON 4 GB RAM, ONCE UPON A TIME!

@KimPerales @blogdiva Don’t forget that Persona, the company that does age verification for OpenAI, Discord, and others, compares your selfies (or government IDs) to US government watchlists.

Edit: Added link to source

Last boost: Age verification is never about child safety. It’s about restricting the free web, linking legal identifies to everything you do, and harvesting data for profit.

@aral Last time we spoke about downgrading, I forgot https://ipsw.me/ exists. Probably because I’ve never installed a firmware from that site. (No spare phone if things go wrong.)

@aral The biggest dick move with this whole liquid ass clusterfuck is, that for a very brief time window one could install 18.7.3 on iPhone 11, and later. And then Apple pulled it. “Oh no! Almost everyone prefers the security only update over our nightmarish Windows Vista clone!”

@BlumeEvolution Diese ganze scheinbar sinnlose Gewalt dient am Ende dem Zweck NSPM-7, und damit verbunden das kommende Ausrufen des Insurrection Acts, zu legitimieren.

I want the built-in RSS indicator in browsers back

@whitequark We need a globally distributed CEPH cluster. One node per household!

@quixoticgeek @sinituulia They’re all in on the “Fuck the planet, we’ll digitize the plebs consciousnesses, and the elites will colonize the stars” flavor of fascism. I cant imagine any other reason for plans this unrealistic.

@Viss @ryanc If I had an ssh client 0day, this is how I’d deploy it 🙊

@joshdelman @Viss @ryanc On hackers who enjoy nerdy shit like watching a really good hacker movie in a terminal over ssh? Absolutely.

Edit: And the payload would probably be some “wasteful” shit like adding rickrollrc to their bashrc.

@serverlessaoife @skinnylatte Do realtors need a license to work? Asking for a scam complaint.

@aral @Wuzzy @Mastodon Lol Automattic’s on the list as well. Can’t make this up 😂
