    On the Mastodon & Pleroma side, I'd prefer it if every site updated their software to say something like "scope limited posts" instead of "direct messages". The problem is that people misunderstand and put all sorts of private information in those posts, unaware that a server admin (of any server in the conversation) could potentially see that content, just like any other post.

    In reality, no admin does this, but they could. And they can do likewise for Twitter and Facebook "DMs".

    End to end encryption (E2EE) is so important to privacy that I believe we should avoid giving people the impression that unencrypted communications are private. This is not an endorsement of Twitter's rumored E2EE DMs. Just an acknowledgement that people have sent me contact info, bank information, and even family photos via "direct messages".

    #sonTwo and his wife have gifted me an account with MLB.tv for the past few years. But I almost never use it because neither the site nor the mobile app is good.

    I think I'd read that somewhere before, but it didn't stick in my mind.

    @fu I think he's aware of the #Nostr - #ActivityPub bridge ... though #SPC blocks it for good reasons.

    He's a contact of mine on Nostr.

    I opened the MLB iPad app today.

    I hate this so much. It is like they don’t know why someone opens their program. I want it to focus around the teams I like and and around games, especially games that one of my teams is in. But they’re splattering distractions all over the page.

    β€œHere are our other apps.”

    I don’t care.

    Local news the past week or two has been stabbings, stabbings, and more stabbings. Oh, and a couple of fatal car wrecks.

    A police helicopter was flying in circles a mile or so away from the house yesterday. I could hear that they were announcing something, but I could not understand it.

    It looks like one victim survived the stabbing.

      Ten year old #A1 has not responded to my SMS messages since his birthday. Time to call him and see what's wrong.

    @clacke Yes. That isn't only true of #Discord, by the way. I used to see projects nearly devoid of documentation, but they'd push you to #IRC. And same for #Matrix or #XMPP MUCs.

    I use IRC, but if I need info (a config setting, the setup process, etc) some questions recur and should be documented so they don't clog up the channel. Others occur so rarely that only one or two people know a fix. Those especially need to go into the documentation. Not just because of "truck factor", but because even those people can forget if there is a long enough time between the question recurring.

    From 2017. https://www.csoonline.com/article/3199009/why-you-dont-need-an-rfid-blocking-wallet.html [www csoonline com]

    "Why you don't need an RFID Blocking Wallet. "

    I don't care. I still WANT my wallet to block chipreaders, regardless of whether this six year old article is still true.

      Why you don't need an RFID blocking wallet
      from CSO Online
      RFID wallets, sleeves and clothing are security snake oil. You don't need RFID protection because there is no RFID crime.

    Today, I saw two drivers doing things that could have killed people had others not taken evasive action.

    In other news, I'm starting to use the f-word again. I hate it, but it seems to come out when these things happen.

    Also when newcomers to the network promulgate lists of rules others must follow. Shove it up your outer planet.

    @heluecht I guess that would be "yes, t-bridge still works" or "no, my connection to Twitter got shut off".

    @heluecht What about "yes, I will do [whatever the option is]" or "no, I do not agree with either of those choices"?
