>The German Federal Office for Information Security (or the Bundesamt fur Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik -- BSI) has issued security alerts today warning about dangerous backdoor malware found embedded in the firmware of at least four smartphone models sold in the country. Impacted models include the Doogee BL7000, the M-Horse Pure 1, the Keecoo P11, and the VKworld Mix Plus (malware present in the firmware, but inactive). All four are low-end Android smartphones. The BSI said the phones' firmware contained a backdoor trojan named Andr/Xgen2-CY.

Like other tech megacorps, Apple hates the copyleft exemplified by the GNU General Public License... Its latest MacOS replaces the GPL'd Bash shell with MIT (weak open source license) licensed Zsh instead. Here're some past GPL purges from Apple: http://meta.ath0.com/2012/02/05/apples-great-gpl-purge/

GSConnect's (KDE Connect server for GNOME) remote SMS UI is *extremely comfy*

it's like imessage mirroring between your iphone and mac, except without the vendor lock-in

If emacs is a Lisp IDE that just happens to contain an OK text editor does that make Chrome a forkbomb that just happens to contain an OK browser?

my homeserver setup got about a 100% sketchier, but its fine it keeps the temperature down and I have backups

i think the fediverse is illegal

Wow so apparently if your instance is behind Cloudflare's web application firewall and someone posts something that looks like a Unix filepath you will receive a 403 when trying to send the toot!
