Die Bahn-App „DB Navigator” ist voll mit Trackern. Digitalcourage klagt zusammen mit IT-Sicherheitsexperten Mike Kuketz und dem Fachanwalt für Datenschutz Peter Hense dagegen. Denn wir wollen Bahn fahren – nicht Daten liefern.
Der Talk dazu heute nach der Abendpause um 21 Uhr auf dem #cccamp23 #dbtracking

I just wanted to visualize a waveform, randomly searched for "audacity like online", not expecting much... and by god, they did it. The maniacs.

Linus Tech Tips sounds like a horrible place to work https://x.com/suuuoppp/status/1691693740254228741?s=46&t=9QuZ9DEY2it-UDnQVEljMA

#Volksverpetzer hat eine Petition gestartet, damit das Bundesverfassungsgericht prüft, ob die AfD verboten werden muss. Wenn sie nämlich verfassungsfeindlich ist, verpflichtet uns das Grundgesetz dazu, unsere Demokratie zu verteidigen. Wir waren nie Freunde von Petitionen, die ein Vebot forderten, solange die Verfassungsfeindlichkeit nicht höchstricherlich bestätigt ist. Aber das wird nicht geprüft, wenn der Bundesrat das nicht beantragt. Also fordern wir das jetzt. #AfDVerbot https://www.volksverpetzer.de/aktuelles/wollen-faktencheck-afd-verbot/?utm_source=mstdn

Die #Corona-Zahlen steigen (anscheinend?) wieder, alle reden von der neuen #Variante EG.5 #eris. Was steckt da wirklich hinter?

Und: Wann kommt das neue Impfstoff-Update und wer soll es überhaupt noch bekommen?

Ich hab mal ein paar Antworten versucht.

I felt this in my teeth.

At the risk of sounding like one of those open-source crazies... Mesa drivers will NEVER do this to you.

We argue over whether or not having an app hacks system in a fully open driver is sufficiently transparent. Don't want that driver hacking around games behind your back!

The notion of scraping your web history in a GPU driver would never occur to us. If someone proposed it, it'd get NAK'd so hard they'd be feeling it for a year.

Putting the “You” in CPU https://cpu.land is awesome -- I'm already finding a lot of things that I didn't know, or hadn't fully understood (like that the #! shebang is a kernel feature, not a shell feature)

Also the design is impeccable (check out the 404 page!), can't believe the author (https://kognise.dev/ ) is 17. Definitely going to be following their work.

Since there are a bunch of misconceptions around Flatpak, I decided to make a guide to dispel these, and explain how to do a few things, like theming all applications, using the command line interface to manage them, installing them from your web browser, and more:

HP are such scammers

I posted about this very cheap printer before, which strongly suggests that there is No USB, only Wifi. When I first got it I figured out how to print over the network without using the app they try to bully you into downloading.

It turns out it's even easier to print, just use the USB port they try to pretend isn't there!

No company is going to rewrite their firmware to remove the USB stack. It's even more expensive to redesign the hardware to get rid of the USB port physically. They opted for the cheapest option, a little sticker.

They are just trying to store everyone's documents in their stupid cloud service that some teenage extortion group is going to break into and leak one day. Don't give them your data.

Mozilla should call for a vote on the removal of Google from the W3C over the implementation of Web Environment Integrity. "But Chrome has 65% market share, what good is the W3C without them?” If Google can take unilateral action to fundamentally change the basic principles of the web, then the W3C is *already* useless. This will give Google a clear choice: if they want to maintain the idea that the W3C matters, they should withdraw this implementation.

This is truly absurd and delightful. The "first human computed shader". You are assigned a pixel, given the equation, and need to show your handwritten manual calculation of its RGB value.

"405 different people have been computing pixels by hand for 4 days"

It's made by Inigo Quilez the undisputed king of shaders.
