Fair trade?

Elon Musk has spent the last 24 hours tweeting about the incident in Germany.. and it turns out the suspect is a big Elon fan. https://www.spiegel.de/panorama/justiz/magdeburg-news-autofahrer-faehrt-in-menschenmenge-behoerden-gehen-von-anschlag-aus-a-58a3c255-9a4b-45a8-8e65-8ceac63477cd

Google finally did it. Is it time to switch to Firefox? I believe users should be in control of what they can install and use on their desktop or laptop. There's uBlock Origin Lite, which replaces the original uBlock Origin for Chrome and similar browsers. Give it a try.

My annual advice as someone who turned a disastrous lifestyle around: if you try to start a dozen new habits on January 1st, you will get overwhelmed and fail all of them. If you have a list of things like “shower every day”, “go to bed before midnight”, “keep up my duolingo streak” etc, pick ONE, the most urgent one that will improve your life the most, and don’t worry about the others until you’ve gotten the hang of it. Build up to your resolutions over the year

@MattMerk @LillyHerself Saw this on a German satire site similar to what the onion is in the US. I‘m assuming they made did. https://www.der-postillon.com/2024/12/musk-sprung.html

@Alice Can confirm. That's Skeletor smirking. Boosted.

Merry Txtmas!

Cybersecurity experts, who work with at-risk populations like human rights defenders and journalists, agree that Apple is doing the right thing by alerting victims of government spyware — and at the same time refusing to forensically analyze the devices.Instead, Apple recommends victims reach out to a digital security lab run by Access Now, which helps analyze victim phones to confirm spyware infections.@lorenzofb has more: https://techcrunch.com/2024/12/20/why-apple-sends-spyware-victims-to-this-nonprofit-security-lab/

Many of us will have some time off over the next few weeks. Some of us have more than others Be sure to reflect on what it all means. It’s cold and crappy in the northern hemisphere and Australia is on fire. It’s a time of retailers marking things up to put them on sale. It’s a time for passive aggressive political discussions with relatives. It’s a time to read about the famous people you never met who died over the past year. But above all else, it’s a time to push that code to production. Push like you’ve never pushed before.

@Codeberg I saw one of those and was looking for a "report spam" button

Heads up: Folks on #CodebergYou might get an email belittling your project, seemingly from Michael Bell (mikedesu) via [email protected] (an issue is created on your repo and then deleted, leading to the notification).This appears to be part of a smear campaign someone is running that started on GitHub. e.g., see:https://www.techradar.com/pro/security/github-projects-are-being-targeted-with-malicious-action-in-apparent-attempt-to-frame-researcherCC: @Codeberg – hope you can identify the account(s) responsible and block them.

@GossiTheDog That's because unlike Melon, a catgirl knows how to herd cats.

@0xabad1dea giant doggo is particularly giant.

If Fani Willis had a conflict of interest because a man might have paid for a meal, imagine how serious it would be if Supreme Court justices heard cases related to an election their wives had tried to overturn.
