@svimes.inform.socialEnpä tiennyt, mielenkiintoista. Aika poleeminen kaveri näyttää olevan ja ikävä kyllä bändi menee mulla kyllä nyt pois kuuntelulistoilta noilla meriiteillä. 😮💨 Limp Floyd, who’s next? 🤔
@rikefranke.euReposted by @svimes.inform.socialThe only thing I have to add to the insane Englishness debate that is currently happening in the UK is that I never found anything that described the strangeness and, dare I say randomness, of identity better than this Peter Grant quote from @benaaronovitch.bsky.social’s River of London series:

@svimes.inform.socialOne more documented controlled experiment. Does a factory reset actually clean the slate, or does it drop you straight into a privacy trap?

@svimes.inform.social@hannahshelley.site have to say that I had no idea ”y2k website builders”, such neocities still existed. Brought back memories of a ”home page” long gone. Thaks for that. 😎 Still fond of static html, albeit generated.

@svimes.inform.socialPart 3 of Deshittification as a Service is live!
We analyze webOS 26’s active network sabotage mechanics—from cold-boot consent traps to selective socket murder when local telemetry blocks are detected.
@svimes.inform.socialBlock LG's tracking servers and WebOS retaliates by locking you out of the App Store.
In Part 2 of my Deshittification series, I expose a blatant GDPR Article 7(4) forced consent violation.

@svimes.inform.socialThis post has piqued the interest of quite a crowd (a couple hundred from my perspective is huge). I guess frustration with surveillance capitalism is a shared feeling?
@doctorow.pluralistic.net your writing has been an inspiration for this work. 😎
@clarajeffery.bsky.socialReposted by @svimes.inform.social1/ This @propublica.org story is just gobsmacking.
As table stakes: why does a family of billionaires need help paying for weddings?
And why would they accept from Russian oligarch with ties to Putin and FSB? www.propublica.org/article/dona...

@mustapipa.bsky.socialReposted by @svimes.inform.socialTarvitsemme yliopistoja, joissa valmistutaan hitaammin, opiskellaan laajemmin, on aikaa ajatella, ja voidaan keskittyä pitkäjänteiseen tieteeseen pikavoittojen sijaan. Poliitikkomme vastustavat sellaista, koska heille olisi kauhistus, jos nuoret ehtisivät ajatella mitä ovat tekemässä.
@svimes.inform.socialPrivacy toggles in Smart TV menus do almost nothing. To stop telemetry and evasive DNS fallbacks, you have to enforce honesty at the network edge.

They just emailed him that they've sent him something in the post.
I'm now thrilled and excited for a total stranger! Clay tablet mail!
