There haven’t been enough #SheepOfMastodon recently (imo) so here’s a pic from a walk the other week, while there were still a few chonky lambs about.

sleepover (2007). i would like to thank my teenager self for thinking that this scene was worth photographing

@DCR als kind war der punkt wo klar war das die kirche schlecht ist das tiere nicht in den himmel kommen weil "keine seele" oder so ähnlich.

Netflix now "plans to build ‘experiential entertainment venues’ across the US." Of course - it's the vector that any IP stable will now pursue and the hard road to the next format/culture of 'music'. I've been trying/failing to enter this realm for decades... I wish more kids were daring and less whining about their Spotify stats. That's a dead zone.

@lued @Czerion wenn jemand seinen lebensunterhalt vom rest der gesellschaft erhält hat sehr wahrscheinlich auch vorher schon eingezahlt. von steuern ganz zu schweigen.

wenn man schon das gehampel mit allerlei zwangsabgaben macht, dann soll die leistung wenigstens ohne so blödsinn gezahlt werden.

und die 5% die das missbrauchen müssen so oder so eingepreist werden. der rest ist gängeln der ehrlichen.

the purpose of science is to figure out how to capture the perfect comfy that escapes from blamkets after a night of sleeping but is lost forever as soon as you get up :blobcatghostrev:
@djsumdog @strypey @Zergling_man >Do you really think any new federation signon system will catch on, outside of truly open source distributed projects? In the 90s they might have, but today, we have way too many commies who have personal missions to push Code-of-conducts and documentation changes in projects they've never written a single line of code for. The frothing morons on Hackernews will praise such people (the ones who don't are banned) and we watch everything turn to shit under a blanket of ideological luxury beliefs.

Here's an example: the problem with Big Tech single sign ons is very, very simple.

If you are banned from your Google account (like with the Jordan Peterson saga that pushed him into fame, along with many less relevant people online), you just lost access to every single website you used to sign in. You now have to contact each and every site to explain the situation and hoping they will transfer your e-mail over, because you're locked out of that single sign on feature and your gmail account (if you used that for Google and not a different one).

Now imagine something like J6 or Charlottesville happens again, or some election they don't like, and the activist employees who work in the dark are giddy at the idea of banning undesirables and making their lives hell.

They will want there to be a way to ban you. Nothing like that could happen again without this to stop "harassment" because some unfunny kids decided to keep making alts to post the same shit.

@alxlg sorry, that was a bit confrontational.

"desktop" linux has a real complexity problem, starting with systemd at the bottom all the way up to the desktop environments. pushing secrets over a message_bus_ is very questionable.

@alxlg
freedesktop, the place everything has to use dbus.

to quote the specification you linked:

> You must specify a session when retrieving or storing a secret. The session controls how the secret is encoded during transfer. Since this is a D-Bus API, the data in all method calls and other accesses in this API will go through multiple processes, and may be cached arbitrarilyby the OS or elsewhere.
>
> The Secrets API has provision to encrypt secrets while in transit between the service and the client application. The encryption is not envisioned to withstand man in the middle attacks, or other active attacks. It is envisioned to minimize storage of plain text secrets in memory and prevent storage plain text storage of secrets in a swap file or other caching mechanism.

i'll rest my case.

@DCR puh.. kommt drauf an. wenn er inzwischen dem laden abgeschworen hat, dann ists nach meinem empfinden unrecht.

wenn nicht, legitimiert er es ja selbst, da er genauso ohne mit der wimper zu zucken handlangerdienste machen würde. er könnte ja auch immer noch verweigern, etc.

kann man aber drüber diskutieren ;)

> When people are drunk or stressed, you see truths about them.
I don't know about the case you were discussing in the other thread; please don't take my tangent response to the quote above in that context, because it isn't.
being under the influence of alcohol is known to remove some inhibitions, so you may be on to something about there, though I don't have a lot of experience with it
but stress? I don't think so.
when I'm overloaded, I make more mistakes, but that doesn't reveal that I'm careless
when I'm overwhelmed, I may be unable to contain some emotions, but that doesn't deny my contained nature
when I'm stressed, overloaded and overwhelmed, I occasionally find myself falling back to some behaviors that reproduce what I experienced in my upbringing, and that I reject deeply and strive to break with. that my higher mental functions, where I choose to be different, find themselves busy with other matters, allowing lowly "auto-pilot" behaviors to come to the surface, doesn't reveal who I truly am, they only reveal a part of my upbringing that I despise. I identify with what I choose to be, and that I manage to be most of the time. though I am, and should be held accountable by my actions in such circumstances, I would find it unfair and unreasonable to mistake that altered, partial and largely foreign state of mind as a "truer" me. makes sense?

Who is SPINSTER? I suggest yall go there and plug your names i and SEE if they are lifting your MINDS feed too without permission. @john @bashy @ot...

@zleap @mttaggart that they don't encrypt keys on the desktop isn't. either you can trust a device or you can't. it's trivial to extract the keys in some way by just waiting for them to be unlocked.

what really is a blunder is that they don't do something about multiple concurrent sessions using the same keys.

@DCR andererseits hält sich mein mitleid mit leuten deren job es ist andere mit gewalt zu unterdrücken in grenzen.

wer sich freiwillig mit dem staat einlässt, ist selbst schuld.

@DCR wird nirgendwo von geredet.. ist das der mit dem gefälschten impfpass?
