We will never accept an invitation to speak to Meta. We are not interested in speaking to Meta. We're not even on Meta's radar, but if they do for some godforsaken reason reach out to us, we will promptly tell Meta (more or less) to fuck off. That's the #GoToSocial promise, baby! Death to capitalism!

Analysis of Samsung FRP Bypass
https://blog-cyber.riskeco.com/en/analysis-of-samsung-frp-bypass/
"During this analysis, we learned that on Samsung devices, we can access a second USB configuration that opens a serial communication, allowing us to send AT commands. Moreover, some combinations of AT commands can lead to the activation of the USB Debugging before setting up the phone and thus without enabling developer options. Finally, using adb, it is possible to modify some settings in order to make the phone believe that the setup following a factory reset is done. This bypass the FRP since the FRP check is made at the end of the setup."
The analysis also comes with a git repos summarising it all into a nice python script.

BREAKING: Free Software Foundation announces that its GIMP ("GNU Image Manipulation Program") will finally shed its controversial name, becoming LIGMA ("Libre Image and Graphics Manipulation Application") in mid-2023.

My favorite part of the web is that it makes things hackable. Stuff like userscripts or even being able to muck around in devtools makes it so much more empowering than native apps that give you a "take it or leave it" approach to apps.
Mobile apps make me so mad because they give me no control over my device even with the prospect of "app permissions".
@hisaac too many zooz, saxophone growlbass
@gabek you are a wonderful person 💚
@hisaac jakeenos is like parkway but better IMO.
Savoy is for when u want a solid centimeter thick of cheese on your pizza. IMO the one with Giardiniera, the chicago one, is the best at savoy
@hisaac I live near wrecktangle Detroit style pizza, apparently they are critically acclaimed, I think they are ok.
Otherwise jakeenos and savoy are good.
Just be warned savoy puts an insane amount of cheese, I always ask them to reduce the cheese quantity but its still too much

You know me. The prolific crypto pioneer and influencer. Let me know if you need some crypto advice and I’ll make something incorrect up for you. Just like large language models do.

Okay, this is nuts!
While viewing a live #owncast stream, you can follow, as you'd expect from the #fediverse
BUT!!! When using the #liveChat you can link your identity to your #mastodon account with #FediAuth !!!! What!;?
It then sends you a DM with the AuthCode directly to mastodon!
Wow, #activitypub is awesome!!
> why use them?
Because its the only way to implement login without requiring JavaScript.
Cookies aren't inherently bad. There are some quirks, specifically the SameSite attribute. I eventually settled on two cookies, one SameSite strict and one SameSite lax. Both HTTP Only (not exposed to js) and both having a server side session token.
That way I can allow 3rd party referrer links to be logged in for specific actions ( click link in webmail to confirm email address ) while staying secure against 3rd party request forgery vectors in general.
