You can rest assured. I’m fine with it.

I like having the codebase in an easily presentable way. Git clone with a cron job would work fine but doesn’t tickle my fancy enough.

As a casual self hoster with Gitea running exclusively to clone GitHub repos for archival purposes. Think Nintendo gaming adjacent and risking DMCA. Is there any reason for me to switch to forgejo while I have the chance?

This isn’t malware, it’s a scam which is harder to detect. No filtering process is ever 100% successful. I’d argue they do a good job at keeping out most of the junk. A quick look at the Playstore confirms this.

Sideloading is accessible to anyone with 15 minutes to educate themselves on it. I have a torrent client, an ad-free YouTube, and UTM sideloaded on my US iPhone.

I do not want to download a different app launcher for every app I download. Especially given they won’t be restricted to Apple’s strict privacy policies. Imagine a different launcher for every bank card, none of them supporting Wallet anymore.

I realize not everyone will agree with this, but I bought an iPhone for easy of use and because I like Apple’s offerings. I knew about the walled garden going in, and if I didn’t want to participate in it, I would just bought a different phone - as anyone is free to do.

They’ll refund anyone stupid enough to have fallen for it. What more do you need?

You don’t speak for all people. No doubt what you said is true for some. My favorite books were 4 and 5.

Wow congrats! And did you know not all churches are seen as community centers? You’re arguing against one persons anecdote with your own.

I don’t think so - but I’d love to be proven wrong on this. I’m not sure what the other guy is on about.

Pray tell how you have enhanced bitrate without premium.

Yes, because my OLED’s speakers sound terrible. Especially when compared the LED I had previously.

I use a Bose QC45.

Proton mail and wallet are working for me.

50? I’m going on 30 and I realized that 3 years ago. Hopefully more and more younger folk realize sooner and sooner.

I’ll add 2 more that resonate with me:

3. Discussions of distributing copyright material is banned. (Not actually sharing, obviously that is illegal, but they’ve banned the mere discussion of it.)
4. They have not defederated from Meta’s Threads

You can on any iOS device without jailbreaking. Look into AltStore or Sidestore. The caveat is that you can only sign 3 apps at a time, and must resign these apps every week - which is done over your WiFi to a PC running AltStore server.

If you have a $99/year Apple developer account, you can use AltStore to sign as many apps as you like, and you only need to resign once per year.

Hey! There are dozens of us!

Was CVE-2024-44133 Already Exploited?

After concocting their exploit, Microsoft started scanning customer environments for activity that aligned with what they’d found. On one device, lo and behold, they spotted something quite closely resembling what they were looking for.

It was a program digging into the victim’s Chrome configuration settings, adding approval for microphone and camera access to a specific URL. It also did more: gathering user and device information, laying the groundwork for a second-stage payload.

I’m not sure if this article is disingenuous or if I’m just confused… but it states when MS scanned their customers’ environments, they discovered malware making changes to the Chrome config. And the Safari CVE was patched in September. So we don’t have proof of this happening in the wild then?

What’s more, the Safari exploit requires making changes to a protected directory. But no indication of how that is done by just the browser exploit. Did the attackers already have access to the machine? If so, this article is a nothing burger.

That wasn’t condescending. They are telling you that you are wrong, which you are. It’s okay to be wrong - it’s how you handle it that matters…

Yeah that’s what they said. You’re the one who said lifetime, which was never true.

AppleCare still exists. So this is misinformation.

And just as an anecdote, I have not felt like Apple has ever “pulled the rug out” on me and I’m an Apple product consumer. Are you?

This article boils down to “man enables feature, is slightly surprised when feature functions.”
