re: meta, bluesky, mastodon moderation 

on the other hand, the fact that people are looking at bluesky as providing a superior (less hostile) experience for some Black users is extremely damning of the fediverse and the anti-Blackness that persists here; it could be so much better but no

It's kind of a tragicomedy how people complain about "bloat" in software, and then vehemently oppose the single most effective solution to that problem (single-purpose dependency ecosystems) because of misguided associations and assumptions

the best part about hacking on my synapse-media-proxy project is that all my test media are cat photos i've made

tfw you exit Hyperfocus Mode and get hit with every status effect ever

update, I can forego dynamic ETag generation (Express default) because the MXC is guaranteed to have immutable content anyways, and with that I can now serve 2.47GB/s, over 415 requests/s

"You're in early!" They all say delightedly to me as I slither across the floor, trailing the sleep from my eyes behind me and groaning

worth noting those requests aren't being de-duplicated nor cached at all (the fullsize media is, but it's thumbnailing them all separate atm)

it's less happy doing animated webp resizing lol, still 91 requests/sec isn't bad I guess

Also, to my fellow anti-capitalists: please, *please* look critically at these sorts of "evil big company" articles, and who is writing them for what reason.

Just because someone is espousing the aesthetics of anti-capitalism or privacy or whatever, doesn't mean they aren't trying to sell you something.

And if I'm being honest, this one should have been pretty obvious as far as propaganda goes, and y'all should've at least raised some eyebrows about it before boosting it.

To emphasize: the article about Qualcomm sending back data is fearmongering to sell their own products. It's unnecessarily alarmist, and phrases things very misleadingly.

Like how "list of software" refers to Qualcomm's baseband processor software, *not* the software you've installed under Android, but they've conveniently phrased it to imply that it's the latter.

I haven't yet settled on whether the information that Qualcomm sends back is actually technically necessary, but Nitrokey's assessment is *definitely* wrong, and seemingly deliberately so. It's marketing, not a legitimate security disclosure.
