Downvoting OP doesn’t make this any less true.

Let’s get one thing straight. If your vision of the future excludes rural voters, for whatever reason, you are not a true progressive.

Update: apparently it’s worse than I expected.

Access to localhost is simply not restricted by the OS at all. Inter-app communication via localhost is unregulated, even within a browser runtime “sandbox” (not a true sandbox apparently).

The only reason Brave wasn’t affected is that it required additional user permission for localhost access, so the tracking script halts in that browser to avoid detection.

The reason this is worse is that it means not only can a browser tab “talk” to local apps through specific ports, it can use any port, can talk to other browser tabs, and apps can share data with each other without restriction. If I’m understanding the scope of this loophole, it’s a glaring vulnerability that’s been there from the beginning, and it’s unlikely Meta is the only company to exploit it.

ETA: this is what I gathered from reading the paper. I still need to do my own testing to confirm. In the meantime if anyone knows more feel free to correct any of the above.

Really curious how Android sandboxing was so easily defeated. Were those ports left open for extensions or something? I need to read up on this exploit. It’s so brazen, but also shouldn’t be possible. 8 years of stolen data. Wild.

Guessing… my chemical romance?

IIRC caffeine temporarily blocks adenosine receptors, so I think that does work up to a point.

Figures the tardigrade would prefer a cello.

Yes I wasn’t referring to the comment I replied to, but rather all the replies below it. I can see how that might be confusing so I’ll clarify the comment.

Regardless, you’ve probably seen better examples of what I’m talking about, and if you have any ideas, I’m all ears.

Can someone explain to me these little self-flagellation parties (edit: meaning the replies below, not the root level comment I’m replying to) that seem to appear with every other dystopian headline in this community?

I mean like this mopey circlejerk right here, with Americans unironically declaring “no one is doing anything!” when literally every day brings more news from the hundreds of large active US protests which lately have been maturing as the fash behaves predictably. Even if that weren’t the case, isn’t the obvious solution to “be the change” or are we not doing basic grassroots work anymore?

This shit is really persistent on lemmy, like some kind of self-affirming narrative to excuse inaction, or maybe doomerist/accelerationist propaganda, or some other internet koolaid I’m too offline to understand.

But I want to know how to get the disillusioned circlejerkers plugged into local efforts. The boots on the ground reality of the work being done, not to mention all the preparation leading up to this phase, seems like it’s right in front of them yet they can’t/won’t see it. We really need all the help we can get.

And on a personal level, it’s getting hard to watch them on here whining that no one is doing anything, high-fiving each other for admitting they’re also not doing anything, and other one-downsman-ship type behaviors, because a bunch of people have been busting ass out here for a while and like, if you don’t want to or can’t help, fine. But then you don’t get to complain on the internet that we’re not doing enough.

You’re describing pragmatism, a solutions-oriented mindset.

I’m referring to left’s problem with edgy despair evangelists suffering from a deliberately propagated fascist contagion that must be recognized and treated rather than allowed to spread.

Why? Because it deactivates would-be activists (including, for example, voters who had the chance to prevent this fascist takeover). It is not harmless. It must be addressed.

I’m addressing an instance of doomerism. Participation of current or former military in the rebellion occupies my thoughts far less than that, currently.

Same but even smaller.

I’m torn.

On the one hand, CA has no military, so attempting diplomacy and formal protocol is logical, even responsible. By “responsible,” I simply mean that picking a fight you know you can’t win, and doing so on behalf of the people you represent, is usually irresponsible, since they will be the ones who suffer.

On the other hand, the closest thing to diplomacy Trump understands is some combination of posturing and quid pro quo. Historically, formal correspondence of rival leaders tends to have a varnish of politeness like this, even in the midst of bloody wars. (Indeed this “formal request” does convey a demand, an accusation, and a veiled threat.) But is someone with a demonstrably facile notion of power capable of understanding such subtext, or will they see only weakness?

Most importantly, I think there comes a time to commit to the inevitable conclusion. If you know the authoritarian will continue to threaten brutality against your people to ensure their compliance, it becomes your duty to say “do your worst or pound sand,” since you know compliance only delays and worsens their suffering, and a threat to the will of a people is always greater.

Yep. Also exposed type A receptacle. OK for table tops. Not OK for outdoor balcony railing.

Breathe. We will get through this, and how is a question worth considering, as the commenter above was doing before your sweaty takedown.

If you need to share this burden of despair with someone, my DMs are open. Spreading it among comrades is not OK.

Very cool. It doesn’t sound like much, but you can actually do stuff with one reliable qubit.

Honestly this reads as a bit of a cash grab rather than a service to the community. I know they say the $5 monthly subscription is to prevent access by minors, but for one that doesn’t actually deter minors and also then why not a lesser amount, and why monthly?

If this website is owned by someone trusted and I’m just being jaded here then I’ll show myself out. I just don’t like companies attempting to profit off queer advocacy.
