Oh my god, this quote someone posted on Reddit, I'm not sure who said this but...

"I need privacy. Not because my actions are questionable, but because your judgement and intentions are."

The updated version, I'm a noob in mixing music but I suppose this version is slightly better.

First time in history we can save the human race by laying in front of the TV and doing nothing... That's not screw this up!

HACKERS: I have a request

A notable, widely-used dating app I've been reverse engineering exposes user's postcodes, addresses, and google placeid via the public feed, meaning anyone can find anyone's location.

This is disastrous as the app caters exclusively to LGBTQIIA people, potentially exposing them to harassment.

I have been working on a python API for this application, and I would like to release it into the open.

I have contact the staff and while they state they will respond in 72 hours, it has been over a week and they have not responded (They did get the email, because an automated email was sent back to me).

I cannot in good conscience publish this API at the moment, despite that I would very much like to add it to my CV, as it represents the only recent work I have done.

What do I do? Is there a place I can file a report for this kind of thing? A CVE seems a bit too harsh.

How can I get them to deal with this, while staying legally protected?

Any advice on this matter would be GREATLY appreciated.

The majority of things we involve ourselves in are distractions - devices to avoid our feelings.

THAT IS NOT HOW CONSENT WORKS

Check in with yourself a few times each day and take a moment to process your thoughts and emotions. Don’t let them build up.

I want men to be able to emotionally connect with people they don't plan on having sex with. I want men to stop assuming I'm planning on having sex with them because I make an effort to engage with them emotionally. I want men to stop feeling personally betrayed by the fact that I engage deeply and genuinely with people regardless of whether I desire them sexually because I value people and seek to understand and connect with them regardless of sexual attraction.

Hello fellow fediversians, I am posting you as I believe you're in Anglia.

My fellow friends in France are sometimes having mastaperos (i.e. mastodon drinks) and I am kind of jealous of that.

So I was wondering if we could take the challenge and even raise the bar -- no pun intended -- by having mastopub. The idea would be to meet once in a while in an anglian city/town ideally close to a railway station. What do you think? Fwd or boost as you see fit!

What we really need with all this royal family crap is for Harry Windsor to take up painting or sculpture

So he can be the artist formerly known as prince

What the actual fuck?

This had my jaw on the floor, which is saying a lot these days. Opera - yes, the browser company - has pivoted to being a provider of predatory payday loan apps in Africa. h/t @brucel https://hindenburgresearch.com/opera-phantom-of-the-turnaround/

If you're like me, and I know I am, you're interested in bending data in strange ways to do glitchy things. If so, you may dig this person's tutorial on screwing with image files using sound editor Audacity. https://www.reddit.com/r/audacity/comments/emhqvd/tutorial_for_opening_and_editing_pictures_using/

Here I am before & after some echo and reverb.

Children know it's all daft, all this running around and advertising and buying and selling and offices and business casual and futures trading and planned obsolescence. Doesn't make any sense. Way too complicated and unfair rules. Don't want to play.

If you see them, these children who see through it, save them. Let them know they're not wrong. It's all daft.

It's gonna take a while and they're the next wave.

One thing I really hate about my culture is its fetishization of competition. We create needless competition in business, sports, politics, etc. Why? It is destructive, it creates more losers than winners, and it wastes resources that could be better used to solve our collective problems. Proponents claim it spurs innovation and achievement. Bullshit: it spurs cheating and gaming the system. Competition of *ideas* is better served by *cooperation* to study them.
