I received an unexpected "encrypted" email from my lawyer that includes the phrase, "If you have received this message, then you are the intended recipient. It is impossible to receive this message by error." It links only to a website, marcord. Now, the original message from him has all the trappings his emails always have -- do not share disclosures, intended recipient stuff, etc. The same footer. All-in-all, it looks like a rare breed of high-brow scam artistry.

I seem to have put my chips in long ago on the awkward "#privacy vs #publicity" thing, before I actually knew much about data privacy. it is an interesting debate in this era of content creators and social media. Are those two things both incompatible with privacy?

When we're as surrounded by streaming platforms as we are now, it's easy to forget that the DRM-free life still exists. Even now, there are dozens of record labels, publishers, and online retailers that refuse to abuse their customers. Learn about them in the Guide: https://u.fsf.org/1lr #EndDRM #DRM
Just found the official #FireFox repo for burner emails. Super easy! https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/private-relay/
And the one-line winner for downloading a list of URLs is `parallel wget < moira.html`, credit to https://blob.cat/objects/be683b98-3ce6-418a-8bac-20de958a73e4 @icedquinn
The nature of the URLs produced a list of files with useless names. But a little refactoring and regexp of the source list and then an #emacs #kmacro, and they were all renamed sensibly.
I have a big list of URLs to files. What's the easiest way to download all of them?

There’s a new item in the content context menu in Nightly #Firefox that lets you copy URLs to the clipboard, but with known tracking parameters stripped.

@indivisibleteam is leaving the deadbird site, eloquently: We’re stepping back from the increasingly dangerous and dysfunctional ‘X’, and we’re sorry it’s taken this long" --

🔴 Today on #SystemCrafters Live, we'll investigate a few options for improving the IRC experience so that more people might be able to join us there! The Matrix Libera.Chat bridge shutdown has been pretty tragic, let's try to address that.
Also, today we're experimenting with streaming *ONLY on Twitch*! No YouTube stream today. Let me know what you think!

I was thinking of finding a new #emacs package manager that allows easier version-pinning than does Straight.el. Rabbit hole; read through a big reddit thread on this topic from 7 months ago and realized now is not the time. Maybe I'll come back to this later; for now Straight is good enough.

One simple Mastodon message about a #Python print()-trick I discovered recently and the evolving thread surprises me with one golden nugget after another.
Thanks!

@worldsendless I've seen some creative works that aren't software given GPL style licenses. However, licenses such as the #CreativeCommons ones tend to be more widely used for a variety of reasons. Was very impressed with Lawrence Lessig's book which talks about the Creative Commons and mentions Free Software as an inspiration: https://www.feedbooks.com/book/2750

Read why "Web Environment Integrity" is terrible, and why we must vocally oppose it now. Google's latest maneuver, if we don't act now to stop it, threatens our freedom to explore the Internet with browsers of our choice: https://u.fsf.org/40a #EndDRM #Enshittification #Google #WebStandards #DefectiveByDesign
Does anyone else have experience setting up #git in a #SharedEnvironment? What did you do for #FilePermissions?

Passkeys as successors to passwords. https://thecyberwire.com/stories/cfc959975d84402aa69206d9a2370a59/passkeys-as-successors-to-passwords #Story
I have a recurring problem with multiple users working on the same #remote codebase, in particular with #git. Because git is creating and deleting files at each stage of the game, shareable #FilePermissions get lost each time someone uses git. Any ideas on the best way to manage this?
