Encryption-breaking, password-leaking bug in many AMD CPUs could take months to fix

  • In seriousness: it's in 6.4.6, 6.1.41 and a bunch of other kernel versions released yesterday.

    • Analysis | Twitter rival Mastodon rife with child-abuse material, study finds

  • The report hints at it but doesn't really say it out loud: get rid of one particular server and there goes 99% of it, along with 90% or so of the overall Japanese userbase (as they were the first big Japanese instance and had a mostly-trusted locally relevant company behind it). But nearly every non-Japanese-orientated instance already either fully defederated from it or has something to strip media content from it. It's essentially its own thing not really related to Mastodon aside from the software in use.

    • Google's trying to DRM the internet, and we have to make sure they fail

  • Blink and WebKit completely diverged in 2013 after the fork. That document is virtually identical to its 2012 version and is marked as outdated in several places.

    • What's the story behind your username?

  • Lizards are cool so I picked the first available lizard. It feels a lot nicer than keysmashing an username together.

    • If Meta federates with the Fediverse, do my Mastodon posts (e.g.) show up on FaceBook?

    Jump

  • A lot of smaller Masto/Pleroma/other "microblog" side of the verse admins signed FediPact. It's mostly smaller instances, but there's still a good amount of them and it's enough that Meta will at least face some struggles in wide federation.

    • Awkward the turtle ( 1000 sub reddit mod) banned and begging to get unbanned.

  • "I haven't even done anything in 6 months" is a really funny statement to make as mod. Apparently they never considered just... not being a mod for a place they don't care about?
