🌐 Many companies now block older browser versions from accessing their websites!

This follows many #browser makers ending updates 4 older operating systems, leaving legacy devices unable to use #web services without an #OS upgrade.

This kinda reminds me of the Java #website block by browsers a few years ago, just in reverse. (Revenge? ;)

Old #Android versions are also increasingly blocked from accessing the #Google #appstore.

Truly about security or perhaps Planned Obsolescence?

@celinho @loops 😜 I hope they fix it asap!

It's ironic to see those same global elites who love partying with the likes of known & convicted child sex-trafficker Jeffrey #Epstein now urging worldwide restrictions on E2E / #VPN & promoting age, biometric, and identity verification online - all in the name of protecting children

It’s also highly suspicious that so many of the world’s biggest countries
are trying to implement this wider #internet control at the same time.

Feels like a major push toward #authoritarianism to me.

@Mastodon That t-shirt fits so well with this actually: https://mastodon.social/@madeindex/116381133582413117

@Mastodon @imanijoy Looking forward to it, going to miss the nerdy outlay but a cleaner design like dat is probably better in the long run, especially for UX :)

Honestly I don't even know where to start, just speechless.

This is just sooo bad 😡

#TikTok and #Meta = pure evil:

"maximizes profits at the expense of their audience's wellbeing"

"told us that it's because the stock price is down"

"maintain a strong relationship" with political figures to avoid threats of regulation or bans"

"advice to parents with children using TikTok is: "Delete it, keep them as far away as possible from the app for as long as possible"

The #US & #Israel now really have a friend in #Tehran.

In strikes #Mojtaba was wounded, while his father, wife and other family members were likely killed.

This new #Ayatollah guy is going to be super sympathetic to them!

They truly must have achieved their #war goal...

In case you haven't heard it, there is that old saying in #Iran:

"Kill somebody's family and (only) wife,
make a friend for life"

"Hearts and minds" eh?

#Ayatollah Khamenei is reportedly dead!

#Telegram seems trapped between a rock & a cold place.

First #Europe targeted the messenger; now it's #Russia.

Rumors are spreading of a complete ban effective April 1 (not an April Fools' joke ;)
https://t.me/bazabazon/44143

Meanwhile, just like in #France, the company is giving in to #government demands.

Many view this as an attempt to push users toward VK #MAX (a state-backed #WeChat-like #app).

Is #Threads even still trying to federate?

✅ They changed their .net domain to .com: https://mastodon.social/@madeindex/115871208581092120

✅ They have not continued federating, it's still a one way road of
Fediverse traffic moving to Threads:
https://mastodon.social/@madeindex/112553443779869972

✅ There haven't been any changes since I can remember & it's always been in "Beta".

✅ The only "change" I have noticed is a spam notification before every! post "Continue sharing to the #Fediverse?"

“...it’s taken 100 years to get the oceans that warm at depth,” he says. “Even if we stopped using fossil fuels today, it’s going to take hundreds of years for that to circulate through the ocean...”

@tomoki looking sharp <3

You could try one of those arms for screens!

I also see that you are a fellow #Eizo enthusiast, are they still #MadeinJapan?

How is their curved screen?

@tomoki I'm also going to be switching to wireless, how do you like it so far? :)

@steter I thought you refer to Putin, you mean Trump?
