There is! It’s called drip and is a project started by a berlin-based feminist collective iirc.

Used to be thousands of if-statements in a trench coat. But even that got offshored 😮💨

At this rate we’ll soon have a decentralized para-religious terrorist organization full of brainlets that got scared shitless after discovering Roko’s Basilisk and are now doing the cyber lord’s bidding in order to not get punished once AGI arrives
- Comment on Do you actually audit open source projects you download? 2 weeks ago:
Nah not really…most of the time I’m at least doing a light metadata check, like who’s the maintainer & main contributors, any trusted folks have started the repo, how active is development and release frequency, search issues with “vulnerability”/“cve” see how contributors communicate on those, previous cve track record.
With real code audits… I could only ever be using a handful of programs, let alone the thought of me fully auditing the whole linux kernel before I trust it 😄
Focusing on “mission critical” apps feels pretty useless imho, because it doesn’t really matter which of the thousands of programs on your system executes malicious code, no? Like sure, the app you use for handling super sensitive data might be secure and audited…then you get fucked by some obscure compression library silently loaded by a bunch of your programs.

- Comment on YSK some cities in the US are starting to build an affordable community built wifi network that goes around big telecom companies 3 weeks ago:
Ah nice! :D Yeeeah just thought it’d be a shame to not utilize existing work that has been done on OpenWRT. But then again, it’s highly unlikely that actors from similar groups haven’t met at hacker conferences, GitHub repos, etc.
- Comment on YSK some cities in the US are starting to build an affordable community built wifi network that goes around big telecom companies 3 weeks ago:
Yeeah it kind of fizzled out, that’s true. In larger cities it used to be useful sometimes because of abysmal cell coverage and shady public WiFi. That has improved a lot since then, so yeah nowadays it can’t hold a candle to 4G/5G mobile data.

I hope they are aware of freifunk.net and don’t start from scratch completely. They’ve been doing that kinda stuff for decades and have developed a modified OpenWRT version and maintain lists of compatible routers

Yup your most likely sources are stuff like:
- your water supply
- any coated paper materials coming into contact with (hot) food and beverages, eg. Burger wrappers, coated paper coffee cups, microwave popcorn, pizza boxes, etc.

There is (according to the video) concrete evidence for both acute toxicity as well as causal carcinogenic effects when it comes to PFOA.
The distinction here is between lpng-chained Fluoropolymers like Teflon, which are completely benign as far as evidence suggests; and fluoroalkyl acids (like PFOA), that are short-chained, can enter the bloodstream, and mimic the structure of fatty acids thus being able to bond to stuff in our body.
- Comment on We poisoned the whole planet so our eggs wouldn't stick to the pan 🙃 4 weeks ago:
Just to be fair though: ingesting Teflon residue from the pan isn’t the problem, it’s the chemicals needed in the production process to get the Teflon onto the pan

- Comment on Amelia Earhart's name sounds like "Air Heart" 2 months ago:
I guess if you trace her German-American father’s heritage, you’d find their family name likely came from the German “Erhardt” or something like that… So in that case yes, the original pronunciation of the family name (and indeed the way German people say her name today) it would actually sound like “Air heart”
