The raised-fist salute of the MAGA foot-soldiers. They're doing it at the GOP convention tonight.

Companies really should just opensource their apps at this point, or at the very least publish their protocols.
Can't see how dropping apps and bricking devices benefits anyone.
The main reason a lot of people still stick around Twitter is because the journalists are there. If Mastodon goes down this path and adds more features to help news organizations and individual reporters, the more likely people will move over.
They leave the Boeing and Soyuz up there, then when it's time, gas 'em up and have them act as controlled thrusters. Everything burns up in the atmosphere. All problems solved.
Saves them $800M and change.
Many years ago, folks figured out how to crack firmware and find embedded keys. Since then, there have been many technological advances, like secure enclaves, private/public key workflows, attestation systems, etc. to avoid this exact thing.
Hopefully, the Rabbit folks spec'd a hardware TPM or secure-enclave as part of their design, otherwise no amount of firmware updating or key rotation will help.
There's a well-established industry of Android crackers and this sort of beating will keep happening until morale improves.
Was just listening to the latest episode of Dot Social podcast where there was a discussion with CEO of Ghost (alternative to Substack). They're integrating ActivityPub into the platform, but where they're going with it is that you can use your Fediverse ID instead of email to sign up.
Once they have that worked out, any likes or comments automatically migrate back to the fediverse. Replies back to replies also show up in your timeline and your followers can see them. This makes discovery pretty effortless. They can also use the stats to keep track of engagement across all fediverse services.
It also means turning one-way streams like RSS (podcasting), email services, and commenting services into common two-way communities.
You're now going beyond just catching up to existing services and doing things just not possible in closed silos. Real "Aha!" moment.
Kids, always have a trade you can fall back on.
Some Costcos still have them. Used to send checks and cash to the back office once they hit a limit. Guessing not so much any more.
Phones have had accelerometer/gyros for a while now. Problem with pinpointing one's location is how to get a starting fix and how to deal with drift and loss of signal.
The way devices have dealt with it is to periodically confirm and baseline with a satellite fix.
If this method does away with all that, it could remove the reliance on overhead signals and those trying to jam them in hostile zones.
Pretty cool. Lots of potential.
Was waiting for Nio to make it state-side. Now, not so sure they will be allowed.
Tried running it on a Mac via LM-Studio. Wouldn't run. Said llama.c needed updating.
