Today’s social media status quo isn’t cutting it, so Mozilla is exploring an alternative here on Mastodon. In early 2023, Mozilla will be testing a publicly accessible instance in the Fediverse at Mozilla.Social. We will keep you updated, but for now learn more here: mzl.la/3BNXQMQ

Hello! 👋

Can we all agree that going forward, it’s a horrible idea to have a failed reality star, abuser of women, & fraudster as the head of our country? GEEZ.

Here's John Carmack's entire resignation letter to Meta.

Even if you're skeptical about VR, it is eye-opening.

Q: What do you call when vendor-supplied proprietary code running in TrustZone is supposed to keep the system secure?

A: TrustMeBroZone.

The guy who wants to put neurolinks in our heads worries about people knowing where he is.

In Germany, in the end all batteries are nein-volt batteries.

Report back from Twitter filter fuzzing.

What Twitter is blocking

Twitter is filtering links to known Mastodon instances, but still allows direct links to joinmastodon.org.
Twitter also allows linking to shortened URLs of mastodon profiles, but only once. Posting the shortened URL a second time doesn't work, implying there's some backend queue service that's checking the Location header of links and flagging the ones redirecting to Mastodon instances.

How to evade the filters

Email address spam evasion techniques work. Replacing '.' with '.' or [.] or [dot] all work.
URI encoding the hostname. Replace at least one of the characters in the hostname with the URI encoded version (ex: https://infosec.exchange -> https://infosec%2Eexchange). Browsers are smart enough to URI decode anything you copy/paste into the address bar.
data: URIs. Twitter does not seem to check base64 encoded data: URIs. It is possible to create a data:text/html;base64,... base64 encoded HTML URI which can be copied into the address bar and will render as HTML. While Twitter will not render data: URIs (for obvious reasons), you can still copy/paste them (at your own risk, of course).
Base64. This seems silly, but we could communicate freely on Twitter by simply Base64 encoding our tweets.

Twitter's anti-Mastodon filtering is clown shoes amateur hour.🤡​

If you are working on cool #opensource projects, or you're an indie #gamedev, I want to share your work.

If you're addicted to #music (rock, indie, punk, emo, etc), I want to recommend amazing new tracks and listen to your suggestions. (maybe even share some mixtapes...)

If you're working to make desktop #Linux better, I'd love to know about it.

Let me know you're out there. I'll follow you back and try to boost your signal.

A recent study shows that fire ants are immune to COVID. Apparently it's because of their anty bodies... 🐜
