You dropped the ‘e’

Best I can say is this is a small step up from the Pinkertons debacle

I’ve been using it as my home instance for almost a year and I still forget sometimes. They could certainly have picked an easier name, I agree.

Unless you’re arguing that the criteria are too strict, which it doesn’t sound like you are, the system is obviously doing its job in this case at least.

Doesn’t that make it even worse for the game, that they couldn’t even pass a ‘joke’ rating system?

peaced out before being arrested

Probably not, given the house was occupied at the time of the raid.

You’re on the fediverse, the benefits of forcing the major players to federate with smaller platforms should be obvious. It would reduce the network effect advantage they have and allow users to move away without being trapped in the chicken and egg situation they currently are.

Not me who downvoted you, FYI.

To me, a vulnerability is something unforeseen, that allows bad actors to exploit the system in an unintended manner. In this case, the system is working perfectly as designed. Just because another system decided to implement a new feature without consulting anybody else, does not make it a vulnerability. Or perhaps it does, but with the vulnerability on the side of Mastodon, since they’re the ones telling their users their post is private when it is actually nothing of the sort.

What would I call it? An unsupported feature. One that Mastodon forced everybody else to implement without asking or any respect.

I’m not sure you can make that conclusion. This isn’t a real vulnerability, and this isn’t a surprise to anybody who knows how the AP protocol works. Dansup didn’t reveal anything that was previously unknown, the blog author just has an axe to grind. It’s unfair to assume that an actual 0 day vulnerability would have been treated the same way.

more people will know and exploit the vulnerability

It’s not even a vulnerability, it’s how AP works by design, is the issue at hand here. Mastodon decided they wanted to implement something not supported by AP, and everybody else had to take the heat for not ‘doing it right’.

To keep it secure from the servers themself would require users to handle the encryption. See PGP for an idea of how much uptake that’s likely to get. If you mean for the servers to handle the encryption, that’s already the case, and the issue right now is that servers are privy to what users do, and by nature are a 3rd party in the convo.

Shh, this is the Internet, we don’t do nuance here.

What is the suggestion, then? Assuming a colony does ever get established, it’s impractical and naive to expect those who now live there to never demand land rights. The author makes good points but fails to discuss any potential solutions other than ‘stay earthbound’.

Leave the grass alone, it’s got dead Marios under it.

Proof that zombies do exist

Why? I see it on my main feed all the time, it’s just osmosis.

Way to depress me who can’t grow a mustache

Defaulting to not federating is what the major email providers currently do, and is why email has now become a centralised service that you cannot practically self host.

The ones who would leave, have left and been replaced. Just like any other user.

How do you not take an opening like that one?
