Needless to say, don’t scan any random QR-codes you get spammed with here.

Of course, it would be nicer if the Mastodon interface actually hid filtered notifications instead of doing whatever the fuck this is.

@leodurruti@puntarella.party Have a single-person instance so I’m sorry, I don’t know. I had assumed the filters would be instance-wide but you know what they say about assuming… ;)

If you want to hide the current deluge of Mastodon spam, either create a filter for krsw-wiki.org in the Mastodon admin interface and/or, if you’re using Mona, mute the keyword.

#fediverse #mastodon #spam

Screenshot of the Mastodon admin interface on mobile, showing the Filters section with a filter set called Spam with krsw-wiki.org listed as one of the two keywords.

@M1k3yv2@ioc.exchange We’re playing 4D chess.

@M1k3yv2@ioc.exchange Shush, they might be listening… this could foil our ingenuous plan.

@M1k3yv2@ioc.exchange Goodness, those Meta folks must be really foolish, huh? Looks like they’re stepping straight into our trap.

:awesome:👍

Not partnering with trillion-dollar, people-farming, human-rights-eroding, and democracy-destroying surveillance capitalists like Meta should be the lowest of low bars when it comes to organisations that purport to work on ethical technology but, clearly, even that bar is just too fucking high for some.

Oh nice, partnered with Meta.

You know, these guys:

FFS, why is everything so shit? Is it too much to ask that you folks don’t involve yourselves with these assholes one fucking time?

Native support for ed25519/x25519 in the browser would be a huge step forward for in-browser/client-side cryptography.

Looks like Google is holding up our ability to use it in production.

(Firefox and Safari both have support enabled by default.)

@DodoTheDev @Lokjo @librewolf @Vivaldi Yeah, although I just read that they’re using the manipulative “Maybe later” pattern in at least one of their dialogs so that would be a good thing to fix for the future (I’m using Vivaldi too as my default browser.)

The opposite of “Yes” is “No”, not “Maybe later.”

@Bro666 @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Which would make perfect sense if I had said “Plasma forces you to use Firefox.” Would you like any other straw men to rile against?

[-] aral@mastodon.ar.al 0 points 5 months ago

@Aaron @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Yes, to non-private defaults. Let’s put it this way: if Firefox’s defaults respected your privacy, Mozilla would go bankrupt tomorrow.

[-] aral@mastodon.ar.al -3 points 5 months ago

@dajix @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social It’s deceptive. They know exactly what they’re doing. That’s why they also ask if you haven’t used your browser for a while.
