You thought flock was bad? You haven't seen nothing yet. There is a reason RMS doesn't own a cell phone (and I stopped using one too, if you need a device get a Pine Phone, throw Mobian on it, disable the modem via dip switch, and get a USB wifi adapter for internet):

"US Police Now Armed With Israeli Spy Vans Simulating Mobile Phone Towers"

"If you thought Flock was bad check out Falconet. Falconet from Israeli company Cognyte serves as a cell tower simulator that intercepts cell phone data from all devices within range. Police mount these systems in Tahoes so the vehicles can collect information while driving through areas without any direct interaction with targets. This mobile approach generates ongoing records of phone locations and communications for everyone nearby rather than only suspects, which creates comprehensive movement profiles and bypasses traditional warrant requirements under the Fourth Amendment. "

I liberated my PS4 a while back and finally got around to writing about it:

PS5 will be next.

look man I hate when that AI thing does decompiling, I only like my decomps with IDA Pro and GHIDRA (Kosher Certified)

Rumor: Sony using bots to pushback against “physical games” narratives.
The bot wars begun they have. Keep up the pressure fellow gamers if this rumor has teeth to it. It’s afraid. 😈 #gamer #gaming #videogames #vidyagames

I’ve been to flea markets and rummage events but never have I seen so many game offerings. So many vendors with a variety of gaming and gaming related merch to sell. I literally could’ve spent all day bargain hunting. They indeed had EVERYTHING. 😱 #gamer #gaming #videogames #vidyagames

@wizardmanperson Minority Report had better privacy than Flock.

what about a federated battleship game

SLUFI is published!

https://thegoodwork.substack.com/p/slufi

A Simple, Lightweight, Unopinionated, Federation Interconnect.

The problem: While numerous network transports exist (cjdns, Yggdrasil, I2P, Tor, etc), and numerous name services exist (Namecoin, ENS, Unstoppable Domains, PKT, etc), almost all federation takes place over ICANN+IP because we currently have no way to federate across network boundaries, and ICANN+IP is the only thing that everybody has.

I claim that there is no possible solution SIMPLER than SLUFI, except with central authority or PRECIPITOUS loss of security. Furthermore, I claim there is no possible solution that is more secure than SLUFI, except with something like a blockchain and a PRECIPITOUS loss of simplicity.

So while I do not think this protocol is complete (yet), I do think SLUFI is the only realistic starting point for reaching a solution to this problem.

@eff every part of every “thing” will be copywrited by corporations so it will be illegal to produce your own parts?

Wait till they realize home machinists could and have been making actual guns at home for a century. Not like there is any shortage of #guns in this country, why bother?

First they come for your #3dprinter next they come for your #lathe and #milling machine. You don’t need an internet connection for everything

California bill AB 2047 mandates 3D printers analyze each print. These scans are only feasible through cloud-connected AI scans, a surveillance apparatus that’s prone to misuse and will chill lawful speech. Creators deserve better. https://www.eff.org/3DPrintCA

@theorytoe @SuperDicq they're gonna flame out like the ethical source people did because to these people using AI to even do something like reverse engineer is bad

@SuperDicq

this is how the trannyesque side of open source will lose relevancy
because they basically only care about virtue signaling they will rot and nobody will care

I'm absolutely convinced that the objective of Flatpak and Snaps proponents is to undermine GNU/Linux.

On no planet should it require 1.2GB of space to download (and 3.8GB of disk space to install) a tiny 8MB app. An entire distribution with desktop environment would literally only take up a mere .7GB more space to download. So to install a single Flatpak is to literally install an entire distribution.

An application that ordinarily takes 2 seconds to install should not require 45 minutes as a Flatpak or Snap unless there is some serious ulterior motive with malice intent going on by these proponents.

In fact this is so bad I don't think this is ever going to install successfully. I'm literally going to have to connect my computer via ethernet if there is to be any hope of this installation finishing (writing documentation for a decent distribution, but was installing the default 'flatpak' version of the app).

Note: It did actually finish without me connecting the system to ethernet, but dang. I was able to write a full length paper and get my PhD in that time period.

Fun Fact: You're allowed to just not care about whatever New Thing is being shilled everywhere. Anti-woke Jewtubers are dependent on this shit to make them money, so they can never, ever actually disengage with this shit.

CyberChud can live load Quake 1 BSPs now, and randomly assign them materials.
