If you buy a phone is it yours? Or can Apple use it for other purposes? I like reading about the hacking going in, but it seems like the real story with AirTags is: who can use your phone?

Basecamp is really stepping in it. Their generous severance package for people who disagree with their politics feels like a real political purge.

Does anyone have experience using https://github.com/renatolond/mastodon-twitter-poster with social.coop? Seems like a well supported cross poster between mastadon and twitter. I'm looking for a way to ween mayfirst from our twitter account but I don't want to run afoul of any social.coop rules against bots.

This twitter thread seems to confirm that the header is needed in case your site pulls in any iframes that have FLoC enabled. https://twitter.com/Log3overLog2/status/1384337637763387394

Hmmm. Maybe if your web site has a "like on Facebook" widget which might contain the FLoC business, sending the header would prevent it?

I'm trying to understand this FLoC business. I'm hearing people say we should set a header indicating that our site does not want to participate. Sounds good! But is that necessary? This site (https://web.dev/floc/#do-websites-have-to-participate-and-share-information) suggests that a page will only be included if it has javascript that calls document.interestCohort(). If that is true, why do we need the header?

Not my most flattering selfie, but thrilled to have my #covid #vaccine. Hooray!

I'm now running a combo of debian, flatpaks and appimages. Not sure how I feel about this.

To keep sane in January each member of my family drew a picture each night inspired by the previously drawn picture. It makes a story (kinda). I'm now putting it all together into a short movie using pitivi and am impressed with the state of non linear video editing on Linux. In 2003 I dreamed of iMovie for Linux and 18 years later we have it!

Anyone running sway window manager in Linux? I've finally switched and it's mostly ok, but the little Wayland frustrations add up. Today discovered I can't screen share in Zoom and gimp doesn't work. I might give up and go back to my familiar openbox.

After weathering a rough Nextcloud upgrade, I continue to doubt the various projects aimed at allowing "regular" users to install and manage their own web apps. When it works, it's great. When something goes wrong, well... Good luck!
