Looks to stem from default creds and SPF+all, both of which are amateur hour. In their defense, devices should not allow keeping default creds, and SPF should have never implemented the +all tag. Still, though. It’s 2025, not 2005. They should have known.

We teamed up with global branding powerhouse
Oh, that’s how you know it’s not going to be capitalist slime. This logo rebranding one of the worst visual changes a company like Mozilla can make. We truly are in trying times…

If only there was a way to block ads that wasn’t blacklisted by Google Chrome. This can be added to the long list of things Google did to ruin the internet.
- Comment on China Wiretaps Americans in 'Worst Hack in Our Nation's History' 2 months ago:
“Unlike some of the European countries where you might have a single telco, our networks are a hodgepodge of old networks. […] The big networks are combinations of a whole series of acquisitions, and you have equipment out there that’s so old it’s unpatchable.”
… I’m very confused by their stupidity. If it’s “too old to patch”, than get a new one, just like everyone else has to do with aging computers and phones. Yeah, it’s expensive, but you can afford it.

So, a 1980s terminal device. Where you pay rent to use your computer and access your files, and you own literally nothing. Watch the masses flock like sheep to it.

- Comment on How to convince my uni / dept. to switch to Mastodon? 2 months ago:
Bluesky is supposed to decentralized, though it doesn’t seem to be. Threads being blocked doesn’t change the fact that it is technically part of the verse, although a red herring. Maybe both poor examples, but they’re alternatives to the verse, which was my point. Maybe adding a public mastodon instance as an alternative would have been a better example, but the main point stands: a uni isn’t likely going to host their own instance, due to the inherent risk associated with it.
- Comment on How to convince my uni / dept. to switch to Mastodon? 2 months ago:
Honorable goal. But it won’t work. From a business’s perspective, hosting such a server adds inherent risk. They won’t do it. You may be able to convince them to use the fediverse through threads or bluesky, but they won’t host their own instance, even if the CTO/CIO/CISO agrees with your love for the verse. I’m not saying you shouldn’t try. I’m saying you should provide alternatives to twitter and to self-hosted mastodon; alternatives that don’t require self hosting anything.
- Comment on Signal gets new video call features, making it a viable alternative to Zoom, Meet and Teams 2 months ago:
That’s fine and all, but if I use a product (especially a privacy focused one) for my personal communication, I do not want to use it for work. A proper separation between work and personal is too important to me.
- Comment on Microsoft stealthily installs Windows 10 update to nag you to upgrade to Windows 11 – and not for the first time 2 months ago:
Same happened to my work computer about 2 years ago. The i5 was “too old”. Work tossed the laptop and bought a new one. I asked the IT manager if I could buy the old i5 from them, he just gave it to me, since it was already written off (no HDD, though). It’s running Linux now on an SSD, is fully updated, and still runs faster than the i9 on nvme they replaced it with to run win11. Win-win in this scenario, I guess.

That’s a fair point.

I agree completely with your comment. Including the rage at the end lol
- Comment on Norwegian government to set 15-year age limit for using social media 2 months ago:
I mean… the government already has all your information. If you distrust them with your information, you have an odd problem to overcome. The corpos, however, shouldn’t have all this data on you.
- Comment on Are 'micro-apartments' converted from offices the answer to the housing crisis? 2 months ago:
For every rental, there is at least one landlord. In and of itself, this isn’t a bad thing. Some people don’t want to own homes, and would rather rent. There should be that option. Option. Not the only possibility. There are not enough ownable homes, because too many are owned by investment firms that keep them deliberately empty to drive up prices. Real estate investing should be heavily regulated, and, yes, this includes over landlords.
- Comment on Are 'micro-apartments' converted from offices the answer to the housing crisis? 2 months ago:
To fit more units, and make more money.
- Comment on Norwegian government to set 15-year age limit for using social media 2 months ago:
It depends how it’s implemented. If they implement correctly, then you’re right. But not all do. That’s a fact that bit me in the arse once, and I no longer use those features for lack of trust.
- Comment on Are 'micro-apartments' converted from offices the answer to the housing crisis? 2 months ago:
Because these idiots are comparing it to the normal sized flats, that are more expensive due to the deficit they created.
- Comment on Norwegian government to set 15-year age limit for using social media 2 months ago:
If truly masked, it might be fine. But the site has to gather that data in order to append it to the API call and it, therefore, mean that they could keep it (even of they actually may not). There are ways around it, such as with session tokens passed between the social media’s page and the bank’s official API page. But, knowing fb, they won’t use the latter.
