@BrodieOnLinux@mstdn.social That is not necessarily a good thing.

@BrodieOnLinux@mstdn.social Principals have away of shaping goals.

GNOME is that development that ignores everyone, disappoints most, and then blames the people who try to help. I will be amazed if that changes for any long term period of time.

Meta (Facebook) has been working with both ICE, DOGE, and Homeland.

Meta has been aiding these departments to develop a comprehensive list of residents, living in and around the United States. That list has included every detail of your account, including your expressed political affiliation. Meta AI has been used to not only identify people, but also your general location. All our mobile apps, regardless of platform, have been used to further monitor people even when not using the app.

@hellomiakoda@pdx.social @LePertti@mastodon.gamedev.place That is an option, but remember to make backups. :-)

@hellomiakoda@pdx.social @LePertti@mastodon.gamedev.place Somewhere there is documentation on how to switch servers with Bitwarden. However, keep in mind that the development itself is still under Us Jurisdiction, regardless.

If you do not use a password manager, now is a good time to consider using one. Here are two (2) that are outside Us Jurisdiction.

Heylogin, located in Germany, Europe https://www.heylogin.com

Note: This password manager is tied to your hardware.

pCloud, located in Switzerland / Bulgaria, Europe https://www.pcloud.com/pass.html

Note: Use a VPN when first signing up to ensure your data is saved on their Europe Servers. You can see a copy of the documentation here: https://docs.pcloud.com

@LePertti@mastodon.gamedev.place

Bitwarden was my original password manager of choice, but given the nature of our political changes here in the United States, I have been migrating away from digital products and services within Us Jurisdiction.

Bitwarden, I'm told, allows you to pick a Europe server and even allows you to self-host, if you're going to go that route. But I am taking preemptive causational measures and migrating, now, just in case.

If you feel Bitwarden is good enough and still works for you, and you feel safe, use it. I am only suggesting alternatives for people not already using a password manager.

⚠️ Change your Steam Password ⚠️

89,000,000 usernames, passwords, and 2-step verification codes have been leaked.

After changing your password, you may wish to reset your 2-step code too.

⚠️ Leak -- Confirmed -- ⚠️

That said, I would STILL suggest people update their passwords and reset their 2-step codecs.

If you obtain enough expired codecs, you can estipulate (learn the algorithm) and create valid ones. - It is why you're always told by everyone, do not share your codes (including your old ones).

@thibaultmol@en.osm.town I see it as ironic. Plus some AI can detect other AI art and even more ironic, they try to avoid each other.

@puniko Awesome. But better safe than sorry. It all passed ✅

@puniko I had to test if it was connecting both ways. Mastodon to Sharkey, then Sharkey to Mastadon. 😉

@Linux@mastodon.au Test cross communication. -- Mastodon to Sharkey. Seems to work.

I approve. It may not stop all bots or AI scaping, but it can slow down most to a managed level.

RE: https://mk.absturztau.be/notes/a7r75gauy9p40070

@puniko Really curious how you generate this 🤔

@cwebber@social.coop I'm sorry, I'm still not seeing the good part. If it is centralized and, in theory, nobody else can run the code...

I think I like ActivityPub and how the Fediverse works. Anyone can use it, no one can gate keep it, and it is not centralized.

@cwebber@social.coop So.... Where is the good part?

I mean, if it is still all centralized, and they act as gatekeeper, I'm not sure where the good part of this is.

@puniko Hope all is going well with you.

@puniko I am not a religious person. But I do admire the spirit people seem to have whenever they pick a new Pope.

That said, right now, America does not need to feel "validated" and needs a social and political course correction.
