Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.

I took the IRC game I wrote for the lisp game jam and submitted it to the Linux Game Jam kind of on a lark since they just happened to overlap in timing; turns out they seemed to really like it! placed 5th out of 47: https://itch.io/jam/linux-game-jam2023/rate/2091620

Because I'm not hearing a lot of chatter on the Fediverse about this here are the CVEs and their summaries for the issues fixed in today's release:
Starting in version 3.5.0 and prior to versions 3.5.9, 4.0.5, and 4.1.3, attackers using carefully crafted media files can cause Mastodon's media processing code to create arbitrary files at any location. This allows attackers to create and overwrite any file Mastodon has access to, allowing Denial of Service and arbitrary Remote Code Execution.
Starting in version 1.3 and prior to versions 3.5.9, 4.0.5, and 4.1.3, an attacker using carefully crafted oEmbed data can bypass the HTML sanitization performed by Mastodon and include arbitrary HTML in oEmbed preview cards. This introduces a vector for cross-site scripting (XSS) payloads that can be rendered in the user's browser when a preview card for a malicious link is clicked through.
Time to migrate the rest to the new modules setup :)

First real-world dlayer module successfully implemented \o/
The LVM part of my 'system query API' project now lives in its own separate module, and works!

It feels super weird when people diss the fact that some people *like* the current state of the #Fediverse and don't necessarily care if it grows bigger or not.
Like…the very notion that growth is a *primary goal* of a social structure is in some ways problematic.
I used to be involved in a very evangelistic religion. A big part of the belief system was you need new converts all the time.
That belief often meant *existing social structures were harmed* in the name of growth.
Problematic.

"... oh, they're not, I just swapped around the debug texts in my console.logs 🤦♂️ "

RE: Evernote news on HN [firing all staff].
The story only seems to be Hacker News/Y. But just in case:
You can download & export your entire Evernote collection using evernote-backup: https://github.com/vzhd1701/evernote-backup
Can't do it in the official app anymore without a $paid$ plan.

@researchfairy Indeed!
BTW there's a precedent: this is essentially what the Dutch parliament did in 2015 through an amendment to copyright law ('amendement Taverne'). All publicly funded scientists connected to Dutch institutions are by law allowed to share and archive their papers in perpetual open access
I don't often get excited about laws or amendments but this is one of my faves

So... has anyone written a comprehensive article on the many governance failures of #Mozilla over the years yet?
(And I mean the actual governance failures, of which there are many, not the "Mozilla didn't want to support my specific obscure nerd feature request")
Looking at Energylandia's coaster lineup, it kinda feels like they opened up the catalog of a couple of different manufacturers and went "yeah, one of everything please"
