RE: https://infosec.exchange/users/jerry/statuses/109410799720056685

This is really quite fascinating. There is exactly one ISP that is blocking mail from the mail server I run, which is used to deliver mail for infosec.exchange - t-online.de. It annoys me to no end that I see people try to subscribe to infosec.exchange and the confirmation emails are rejected. So, I contacted their postmaster, and to their credit, they got back to me very quickly, but they are basically saying "yeah, you need to use one of the big mail providers if you want to send mail to t-online subscribers".... Ok then. My apologies to any t-online subscribers (who probably can't see this anyhow), but you'll apparently need to use a different email account to register.

How long until they realize Fediverse isn't what they want and write articles about the urgent need for moderation on these dangerous dark uncontrolled spaces?

"For secure stuff (with people we don't know irl) we just use signal and everything else is for discord"

okay I know plenty of people have criticisms of Matrix (compared with XMPP or IRC or whatever) but this is an obvious place for Matrix in your chat apps: something that's a good-enough replacement for discord for these kinds of situations

normalize calling discord "fbicord"

god there's a group of cascadian anarchists who refuse to switch from discord to matrix and don't understand why making discord their base of operations is a Bad Idea

I am again out in the middle of nowhere, trying to enjoy the stars - and the first thing you see are fucking Starlinks. Everywhere. It’s heartbreaking. It’s nauseating. I think I’m going to puke my thanksgiving. Thanks Elon.

Please, please do not buy Starlink. There are plenty of other internet options.

OMG it cuz onez is nervuzzz

The people should have the strength to oppose abuse.

BREAKING: Free Software Foundation announces that the GIMP ("GNU Image Manipulation Program") will finally shed its controversial name, becoming LIGMA ("Libre Image and Graphics Manipulation Application") early next year.

Qoto.org says it has zero tolerance for hatred, but also "does not currently block any Fediverse servers".

I messaged Qoto admin to ask whether they would block servers that incited genocide. Admin replied Qoto would not block such servers.

I asked about the danger of radicalisation, and they said "(people) aren't going to read some random thing on the internet and turn bad. It just doesn't happen."

Have blocked qoto.org, would encourage others to do same.

Google has now migrated maps.google.com to www.google.com/maps thus if you grant Geoloc permission in your browser, every G-service on www.google.com can track your location.

so now he says qoto was delisted for using a tool created by kiwifarms to map what instances block each other?
