@patrickcmiller Looking human is hardly a requirement for a box stacking machine? Billions wasted when some googly eyes would have done the trick.

@patrickcmiller I don't understand why we make humanoid robots. All that effort into balance, locomotion when wheels would be far better. Years of research time wasted. Damn wish I had wheels sometimes. Why does it need a head? It doesn't.

@ThermiteBeGiants I had a car (Holden HR) when I lived on St Kilda Rd but I didn't need it because TRAMS! Indeed Melbourne is one of if not the easiest, most chill city to get around of the many places I have lived all over the world. Guess where else just as good? Zuerich! YES YOU GUESSED IT MORE TRAMS! 🚋😍

@WarnerCrocker A little too late I hope. She has struck out three times now with the 11th circuit who have more than enough grounds to remove her.

@shoq @tchambers It's pretty astonishing tbh the lack of understanding of consent and privacy. Very disrespectful framing of the issue too. My understanding is that it is a regular instance like any other whose sole purpose is to scrape private posts back to bluesky. That instance can and should be defederated like any other bad actor imo. As a user I now have to second guess every follow to see if they are one of these parasitic accounts. Fundamentally it subverts the platform.

@emilygorcenski what is your actual problem?

@patrickcmiller
Well done perfect security is not possible but this article is still very dangerous. Word to the wise: you had better understand what you are deploying, all its moving parts, who you are trusting and the potential for change in that chain if anonymity is a matter of life or death. More people than you might imagine live with this threat model. In the same breath as mentioning fingerprinting the article recommends Firefox. Firefox does not block fingerprinting out of the box. /1

@patrickcmiller or at least it does a very poor job. Tor is extremely dubious too. The 'more' is doing a lot of lifting in the title is my point. Probably unfair since how to actually achieve what the article seeks could be an O'Reilly.

In short I don't want anyone to read this and then use firefox and tor thinking they are getting anything close to anonymity.

@rox_lukas @nixCraft lol I must have missed the passive bit there.

@andthisismrspeacock "In fact, most people won't."

So you want to make sure they can't? Kind of dark no? Who tf are you to decide for them?

Oh yeah you are:

"a guy who's shut down many more datacenters than he's built"

Like you could stop anytime. Was it wrong?

I had someone the other day complaining about Mastodon not blocking facebook from facebook. Is this the next level? People think they can compartmentalise their morality?

@tasket @andthisismrspeacock I would take people's concerns about instances that they are not members of not domain blocking Threads if they were a. not themselves facebook users b. not employees of facebook.

That is not to say you do not get to have an opinion. Everyone does. I think allowing people to choose to block themselves and trusting in the collective is far healthier and probably less counterproductive than seeking to impose your own opinion.

@ryanc Wonder how many iphones have been unlocked with the owner's mugshot.

There's probably a case for setting your face id with one eye closed 🤪

@ryanc "NOW WITH 25% LESS CODE!" 🏷️

(We all know less code is better).

@ryanc wow ok that's not a scary alias

@ryanc dafuq? so need to replace usb power socket what every uh four or five years or something? ehnn.

@ryanc wait what - they wear out?

@patrickcmiller ITS ONLY BEEN ONE YEAR???

THANK YOU ELON FOR SLOWING TIME ALL IS FORGIVEN

@patrickcmiller T-Mobile has experienced so many breaches I've lost counting. it's unreal.

@flexghost was going to say 'where are the cops' when I realized 'there are the cops'.
