it’s a storyline thing :)

RIP Red ♥️

very happy to see Glenda was able to make it.

I wish we could just signed diffs and stop with the whole “make an account literally everywhere” mentality.

the email-list only folks are like 3/4s right; federation isn’t a solution to bring decentralization to an already decentralized system, it’s to just stop thinking that every saas has to “own” your stuff, and keep it behind auth and secrets and a big heavy database.

While I agree with the sentiment, the key bindings have been burned into my less squishy ROM at this point, and I’ve got all banks of squishy RAM available 😄

I “don’t like em mate, they’re not tough.” “not tough, heh alright… they fuck men.”

I really admire the arc of character growth

gimme that black ICE

it’s a bit different, in that they’re just constantly broadcasting a singular id, over and over. The “tracking” is the application on various devices which receive the broadcast and report it to Apple, along with that device’s location.

Sidewalk was packing up actual user data and running it over your network, which has other implications.

not at all defending or praising the idea, but I’m very sure the foundation of my house is larger than that.

if I want to follow you home, I buy an airtag, drop it in your purse/truck bed/gym bag, wait for 45m and then go to where the airtag is.

That’s why it’s referring to anti stalking protections; the devices work too well, and allow you to track all sorts of things, even stuff that doesn’t belong to you, or that has the agency to not want you to.

This; born in 85, have much more in common with kids from 1975 than 1995, culture wise (land lines! pre Internet times!).
