The problem is this also blocks SMS from those outside your contacts. It will be an issue with 2FA.

I created a “Do not disturb” profile that only blocks voice calls for non-contacts. SMS still comes through. My ringtone is a silent file, but that’s just my preference.

In the DND profile, I only allowed messaging apps to show notifications. I don’t care about the rest.

Insta will tell them do a flip.

Bah. Hans Reiser wrote filesystems all day and he turned out fine.

The whole point of markdown is that it’s readable as plaintext.

It would have made more sense to make Edge render markdown.

Well, the app doesn’t use network permissions. That’s a good sign.

If anyone is curious, here’s a photo I took of the ceiling directly above the crown jewels about 3 weeks before they went missing.

Are there even cameras?

It went from INI to JSON real quick.

Ahh. Alonso’s favourite corner that’s never properly swept.

Imagine this happening and Facebook will somehow still be an AI sloptrough.

Having installed both this week, I much prefer XMPP. I want it as something more like signal/whatsapp just for my immediate family. Some are too young for a phone number, but I want them to join in the fun.

It was a but of messing around getting prosody to work how I want, but I’m really happy with it. It works with my letsencrypt certs. Phone and video calls just work. MySql just works with it. The tricky one was getting it to auth with same credentials as the mail daemon, but I got that going too. It’s seamless now.

Matrix was 90% features I would not use.

Holy shit we have it at level 1.

The UK is level 2.

The last AI that Microsoft made capable of learning turned into a Nazi within hours.

I wonder if this would allow an anti-cheat system to get acceptable trust of a system without having to access ring 0.

Of course, we’d then need the OS / kernel images to be signed. I think most gamers run stock kernels anyway.

I just don’t want see the garbage that is the Android Play Store where apps refuse to run because we run an OS that isn’t profitable to Google.

Software bloat will hurt more and will require re-thinking. Efficiency will matter again.

This is the next battlefront. I already see it happening. Software requiring significantly more resources with each iteration to do the same job.

They’re going to try and push us off older devices, and hope we use their devices instead.

I wasted an hour this week expaining to CoPilot why it was wrong and dismissing every suggestion it made in a code review. In all of it, it didn’t spot a legitimate problem. It’s running at a near 100% false positive rate. I absolutely would not accept a code suggestion from it blindly.

What’s weird is that facebook only fills my feed with slop when I open in on my phone.

On my desktop browser, my feed only contains things I have subscribed to.

I logged out from my phone. It’s just unusable.

My 2003 petrol car gets 6 litres per 100km. Even if the PHEVs are running like a normal hybrid 100% of the time, that economy is trash.

Solving the problem once and for all.

I hope somewhere in this, someone points out that you cannot bookmark your friends feed. You can bookmark marketplace, or any other part of the site.

When you do manually navigate to your friends, you get pushed back to the infinite slop feed after almost every action.

They did this deliberately so you can’t use facebook to keep tabs on your friends. You know, like it was originally built for.

I’m betting it stopped in the path of it. Either by pulling out in front of it, or sitting on the inside of the truck whilst turning.
