EU needs to make a stand on Play Integrity. If app devs enforce Play Integrity, this means only Google Certified devices can use banking, etc. This excludes all alternative mobile OS. No #postmarketOS, no #SailfishOS, no Android derivatives #GrapheneOS etc. You don't need Play Integrity. If someone is capable to install or use alternative OS, they sure know what to install or not install, it is on their responsibility. Using non-root but bootloader unlocked device (otherwise can't use alternative OS) does not make my device less secure. On the contrary, it is using an up to date OS with the latest security patches. Do we really want all mobile devices have to be Google Certified? No. #mobile #integrity #bootloader #unlocked #nonsense #Europe

Amazing photo by Cheney Orr of Reuters from today. Black woman sitting alone on the DC Metro with a crowd of masked white supremacists on their way to the capital to march with confederate flags.

There is also a deeper analogy for what I keep hearing over and over from Black people: finding themselves surrounded by white people who either do not know, or do not care, about how America looks from the Black person's perspective.

Can you imagine Mastodon raising 100 MILLION dollars from a crypto VC fund and failing to disclose it... for a full year? No I can't either.

And from their actual press release: "The Atmosphere currently contains about 20 billion public records—the posts, likes, comments and other interactions that bring the ecosystem to life. It's an astonishing collection of what open social infrastructure makes possible."

A cafe owner in northern England has said British police offered him financial incentives and promised to turn a blind eye to some low-level offences if he informed on the proscribed group Palestine Action.

The Guardian reported on Saturday that a man named Shams Sadiq, the owner of two cafes in Manchester, said he was offered inducements by the police.

The fediverse needs a name change.

Everytime I try to explain somebody about the social network and mention 'the fediverse' they get the idea of a gamerworld, or hacker space or some group of internet frikkis.

If the fediverse wants to grow, it needs to have a more general name which doesn't connect to anything.

How about 'Fediv'? The .org name is still untaken.

Do not comply.

Do not share your ID or biometric data with abusive platforms requesting it. You have a choice to say no, complain, and leave.

This is an important act of resistance for the future of humanity.

This isn't just about privacy, this is also about safety, diversity, democracy, and human rights.

Researchers at security firm RedAccess found more than 5,000 vibe-coded apps, created with AI tools from Lovable, Replit, Base44 and Netlify, with essentially no security, accessible on the open web. About 40% exposed sensitive personal or corporate data. https://www.wired.com/story/thousands-of-vibe-coded-apps-expose-corporate-and-personal-data-on-the-open-web/

Anyway.

This is just an opportunity for me to say that one perk of running a server full of bots that are followed by 10.7k+ people from 1.3k servers is that if you're eg. not cool with my trans homies, you can say goodbye to live views from the South Pole and such.

With me, you always have a choice!

An Israeli airstrike near a mosque in the northern Gaza Strip killed five Palestinians, including three children, on Wednesday, amid ongoing daily Israeli attacks and reported violations of the so-called ceasefire.

Had to leave the march around Green Park as my back gave out - but that was still 2h in, and 500,000 people strong. Most every trade union was there, plenty of Palestine support, loads of Pride flags. Well done everyone! ✊✊✊

so after being bedridden for 16months due to a hernia, I've finally got my surgery!
now I'm bedridden for recovery, fun!

I'm in a lot of debt from my illness and I've not found a job yet, so if you've got a couple dollars, it'd help me get through this last stretch. Thanks so much!
