@jwz@mastodon.social Smart enough to avoid storing my most sensitive data in a black box that nobody can inspect, and hoping that the black box is somehow safe even though its not in the owner's interest to make the black box safe.

@berniethewordsmith@neopaquita.es GitHub has been fucking over its user base for a very long time, some might argue it started at its inception. Anyone still using GitHub clearly doesn't give a fuck about this kind of harmful policy.

@kiesraad@social.overheid.nl En dit moet je dan gebruiken op een OS dat constant screenshots neemt en je toetsenbordinvoer opslaat in een onbeveiligde database en deze data ook vrij deelt met een Amerikaanse partij? Het kost je minder dan 10 minuten om hier een beter OS op te installeren dat niet constant bezig is om je te bespioneren, wat mij een vrij belangrijk aspect lijkt om het te kunnen gebruiken om te stemmen.

@ammarfaizi2@hiradai.space Stale issues are one of the worst ideas getting popularized by Github.

@jwz@mastodon.social Imagine ever trusting a proprietary password manager to begin with.

@codinghorror@infosec.exchange I write a blog and don't ever use LLMs for it. I also don't use shitty forms provided by slop companies, so you'll have to add this metric by hand or learn to make a better form.

@irfan@sakurajima.social So instead of a standardized/regulated system you can use a proprietary system which needs (expensive) proprietary hardware, and an additional proprietary app. It's so weird to see people actively cheer on a such a massive step back in society.

@fj@mastodon.social So the EU is giving away more gratis labour to the USA than they are doing themselves? How is that a positive?

@gytisrepecka@social.gyt.is @mozilla@mastodon.social @IzzyOnDroid@floss.social Seriously, Mozilla, why you are trying so hard to make everyone hate you?Because it makes the C-level staff a lot of money

@Alice@beige.party I think it has been the norm for dumb people to enjoy the bad things since forever. Its what the whole advertisement industry is based on, for instance. Windows is still the most used OS even though its the absolute worst experience imaginable. McDonalds is one of the most popular restaurants in the world yet the food is mediocre at best. I'm sure there's plenty of other examples if you give it a few minutes of thought.

@privacyguides@mastodon.neat.computer The European people need to start holding these corrupt and self-serving politicians accountable. They will continue to introduce laws that contradict basic human rights if we do not. We must fight them in every way possible, including physical if we get the chance. Make the politicians in favor of chat control regret their decisions deeply. Make them pay in a way that will make them fear the people they're supposed to represent.

@anildash@me.dm If you want to return to git being decentralized, then it sounds like its a good time not to make a competitor to GitHub. Just use git as it was intended, no need for a huge code forge to push everything through. Use email to share patches around. The tools still exist to have a good, decentralized experience.

@dwarf@borg.social @opensource@social.overheid.nl @Trouw@mastodon.nl Een goede app voor XMPP klinkt realistischer voor iets als dit lijkt mij. Encrypted group chats, de meeste IRC clients voor de telefoon zijn in mijn ervaring vrij batterij-intensief, en dingen als SSO zijn wel wenselijk en standaard in de meeste XMPP servers.

@bonifartius@noauthority.social @menherahair@eientei.org @Zergling_man@sacred.harpy.faith @Pi_rat@freesoftwareextremist.com I never really get why the 1 line of text is considered a "breaking" feature. Multiple lines sent still become multiple lines on the receiving end. It really feels like dreaming up issues as an excuse to use worse chat platforms.flaky connectionsYeah, this is kind of an issue, the de-facto solution is to use a bouncer on a more stable connection. Its not great from a usability perspective, but since most IRC users are techies, it doesn't appear to be a huge issue in practice. It would be nice to see a better solution than "rent a server and use that".

@tante@tldr.nettime.org Have you considered becoming an assassin? Plenty of targets these days, even if you want to limit yourself to only improving the digital world.

@dwarf@borg.social @opensource@social.overheid.nl @Trouw@mastodon.nl XMPP is iets meer moeite, maar het valt op zich wel mee. Zeker als je gewoon twee ITers in dienst kan nemen bij een willekeurige overheidsinstantie om het te beheren. Het protocol van IRC is simpeler, maar ik denk voor dit soort dingen te simpel. Voor chats waar mensen semi-anoniem moeten kunnen aansluiten zou ik het prefereren, maar dit gaat om overheidscommunicatie. Een goede standaard voor encryptie van 1-op-1 chats en groepchats is een must. SSO is ook een belangrijke manier om je users te managen in de meeste organisaties, overheidsorganisaties zijn hierop geen uitzondering. Ik vind het persoonlijk ook mooi dat je met XMPP hetzelfde adres kan gebruiken als je email adres. Matrix kan volgens mij al die dingen ook doen, maar is dan wel een stuk complexer, heeft minder clients en servers beschikbaar om mee te werken, is absurd traag, en enorm duur in resources.wat een flinke portie overheidsgeld zou doen voor een moderne IRC clientDe overheid en IT projecten kennende, krijg je een windows-only applicatie die alleen Microsoft Azure als SSO provider kan gebruiken. En dat voor maar 400 miljoen euro en een 6 jaar ontwikkeltraject!

@avuko@infosec.exchange @Gina@fosstodon.org PS: using Signal (or Wire ;) always makes sense. For civiliansI'm not too knowledged on Wire, but Signal still uses Google services to operate, and they are vehemently against self-hosting. These are two major red flags for sovereignty, so while it is better than WhatsApp or Microsoft Teams, its still nowhere near good enough.For civil servants, having official communications on auto-delete is probably an offence.15 years of Rutte have shown that intentionally ensuring there is no documentation about decisions or other communications is actually not an issue at all. The worst that can happen is that you get promoted to siphon even more money into your own pocket.

@Piratenpartij@mastodon.social Hoe is dit niet gewoon landverraad? Waarom mag zo'n persoon gewoon vrij rondlopen en zijn politieke macht blijven misbruiken?

@sun@shitposter.world People did just that for a few decades before LLMs became popular as autocomplete for fools. Sounds like a skill issue on your end 🤷

@ente@fosstodon.org Say bye to proprietary platforms first

@menherahair@eientei.org @Zergling_man@sacred.harpy.faith @bonifartius@noauthority.social @Pi_rat@freesoftwareextremist.com you don't routinely write more than 1 line of text to peopleI do, though. I also use email, both for work and for staying in touch with friends. I have an XMPP server (though I rarely use it), and some of my friends are on Matrix which also has multi-line messages. I don't think multi-line messages are bad per se, and every IRC network I'm on won't kill you for sending a few lines in rapid succession, as if they were multi-line messages. As I stated earlier, saying flood kills are a main concert as to why IRC is unusable is just making up an excuse to denounce IRC as a whole.in fact it has no downsidesUnless you just wanted to casually chat, rather than send essays back and forth. For the essay sending we already have other platforms, so I fail to see why IRC must change if its simply better to use a different tool for a different job.it's understood having them is a good thingIts understood to be a good thing to have different tools for different jobs.xmpp was partially designed as a replacement for emails. this is not "abuse" or "feature bloat" or whateverIndeed, XMPP was designed for that kind of discussion, IRC is not. Meanwhile, in practice, IRC isn't broken for discusssions either. Most networks are configured to be "broken" for flooding, if that's how you want to describe it.you're a fucking cavemanI can tell you I'm having a great time in this here cave. I would recommend it!

@Pi_rat@freesoftwareextremist.com I really don't wanna go to gym though there is one right here.Same but I need to be health and clearly I am too lazy to exercise on my own 😭 Now I get forced by the idea I'm wasting money, which is better than just sitting at my desk all day and shitposting I'm sure.

@mullana@chaos.social @fsfe@mastodon.social I find the comparison to be a bit weird. If you want to continue your analogy, you should've included a Windows sticker on the laptop rather than an Arch sticker. A LOT of people are otherwise confused, GNU+Linux is after all only 3% of the marketshare or something? I'm not hating on the comic per se, but I am, as always, very disappointed at the FSFE for not having a single person on their staff that actually cares about software freedom. They should've shared (or commissioned? I'm not sure if this was a paid job) something that shows free software to celebrate free software day.

@chatcontrol@mastodon.social Is it time yet to start lynching the politicians who keep trying to attack fundamental human rights?

@HennaVirkkunen@ec.social-network.europa.eu These values aren't respected in the EU either, ironically enough.

@Pi_rat@freesoftwareextremist.com @Zergling_man@sacred.harpy.faith IRC is so good, I can't imagine people would choose a proprietary chat when IRC is right there, for free! Perhaps those not on IRC are better defined as lesser people, or "subpeople" or something.

@Zergling_man@sacred.harpy.faith @Pi_rat@freesoftwareextremist.com @bonifartius@noauthority.social @menherahair@eientei.orggo on instant chat type out a fucking essay send it all at once, flooding the channel "gee why dont they let me do this"

@Zergling_man@sacred.harpy.faith @bonifartius@noauthority.social @Pi_rat@freesoftwareextremist.com @menherahair@eientei.org It may be a bit weird if you don't understand the underlying protocol, but it most definitely doesn't impact regular chatting behaviour. Im in a few dozen channels right now, across a handful of servers, and I see no flood kills in the past month in the logs. I'd also note that flood kills aren't part of the IRC spec as far as I'm aware, its handled by the server/network. Oftentimes, opers are exempt from flood killing, for instance, and you could run your own IRC server where no flood killing is done at all.

@Gina@fosstodon.org @tomootes@social.codefor.nl Can you post the actual URL, rather than linking to a tracking company's short-url?

@fsfe@mastodon.social @mullana@chaos.social We love free software Check out our comic about someone using proprietary software🤔

@BZKopensource@social.overheid.nl Dat heb ik vaker gehoord, maar na de zoveelste keer krijg ik er niet gelijk goede hoop van. Houden we deze keer wel politici aansprakelijk als ze er stieken toch weer niets mee doen?

@Zergling_man@sacred.harpy.faith @Pi_rat@freesoftwareextremist.com @bonifartius@noauthority.social @menherahair@eientei.org I like having actual chats on a chat medium, yes. If I look at Matrix rooms, its used more as a forum where its just huge swaths of text, which wouldve been a better fit in, well, an actual forum, or maybe a mailing list. To take the definition of "chat", according to WM:Verb: to talk in an informal or familiar manner Noun: idle small talk light informal or familiar talkThese definitions do not align with large swaths of text, so they are literally not "chat". They can be discussions, formal or informal, but thats different, and we already have something for this, discussion forums. IRC however is actually for chat, its right there in the name, Internet Relay Chat. People spamming or otherwise disrupting a channel with a large amount of text all at once is not, by definition, chat.

@trib@aus.social Mastodon is 100% the early days of social media all over. Some of you will already be familiar with this story.Mastodon is a latecomer to the Fediverse, GNU Social would be more apt to be the early days. I'm familiar with the story of Mastodonters barging in and pretending the Fediverse is all them, though.This is very much how things were when I first joined Twitter in 2007.Most of the people here don't want this place to be like Twitter, because Twitter sucks. We came here instead, because we like this better. If the Fediverse becomes more like Twitter, it will only inevitably be ruined in the same way.the #fediverse is putting up a good fight.Some people are, but Mastodon surely isn't, it's enshittification of this beautiful Fediverse.

@dwarf@borg.social @opensource@social.overheid.nl @Trouw@mastodon.nl Niet geweldig, en absurd duur in productie (net als Mastodon, dus dat lijkt gewoon een wens te zijn van onze duurbetaalde ambtenaren), maar het is op zn minst een open protocol.
