In case you're using Firefox on mobile - so myself and like four others - disabling Firefox' new Facebook data collection feature is quite a bit harder than on desktop, but it can be done:

Go to chrome://geckoview/content/config.xhtml
Use the search field to find the entry for aboutConfig and enable it
Go to about:config
Search for dom.private-attribution.submission.enabled and set it to false

Done. This only works on Android, because Firefox on iOS is just a Safari skin.

$ result/bin/hydra-eval-jobs --help
error: unrecognised flag '--help'
Try 'result/bin/hydra-eval-jobs --help' for more information.

i just got an achievement for playing as a girl

63% of players have this achievement

> talking to a lefty about penis
> ask if their take on penis is analysis or a rationalization of bigotry in feminist language
> they don't understand
> pull out an illustrated example of sexist views of penis
> they laugh and say "it's a good analysis sir"
> hear them out
> it's bigotry in feminist language

Ads on the web don't actually *need* user tracking. Browsers don't *have to* cooperate with those who want to surveil us.

In the activitied pub. Straight up "petting them". And by "them", haha, well. Let's just say. Fedi creatures ​​

Whoever just tried to assassinate Trump pretty much just guaranteed his election victory.

let’s encrypt is probably THE single most important internet project of the last decade tbh

do you have mansmell or politicalsmell?

I just saw someone characterize running a Mastodon instance as being “no harder than running your own mail server” and I thought “oof, that’s a savage takedown” before grasping that they meant it as a positive.

Huge congratulations to all the Lix team for this first release! https://lix.systems/blog/2024-07-10-lix-2.90-release/

an angry techbro story: one Michael D. Mintz forked an LGPL-2.1 codebase and unilaterally changed the license to MIT.

Now he's very, very angry because people pointed out that this is license terms violation, and asked him to either use LGPL-2.1 or ask the original authors to relicense.

the dude's some fucking automation lead at household name companies, for fuck's sake. he really should have known better.

EDIT#1: it seems that the dude published at least one three other pieces of software with changed license, without crediting original authors and after having removed change history. congratulations for being probably one of the first people who managed to break the onerous requirements of the fucking BSD 3 clause license.

EDIT#2: ouch.

EDIT#3: more of the same plus a proposal to unilaterally dual-license LGPL code using MIT license. this is not going well.

EDIT#4: more of the same, third-party components edition.

EDIT#5: the issues asking for clarifications of the licensing terms opened by @pbarker in SeleniumBase repositories have been deleted by the organization owner. this_is_fine.gif.

EDIT#6: there's a reluctant, forced progress, mostly in the licensing area: the license of pynose (the nose fork) has been fixed, the AUTHORS file restored. the pdbp* licensing problems seem to be progressing too, and whoever did sit on the dude and managed to reach through, did a good job.

there are still outstanding issues with the embedded third-party software, and mdmintz still doesn't seem to understand why he should credit the prior authors and contributors instead of the self-aggrandizing approach he prefers.

AAAAAAAAAAAA

Sometimes I think people misinterpret determination as optimism. People see someone walking tirelessly up a mountain, and think they must be driven by some optimistic vision of the future.

In reality, I'm driven by spite and wanting my computer to Just Work.
