@prologic@twtxt.net @bender@twtxt.net A 15-year-old reported a security vulnerability in some shitware and they acted like absolute dickheads. Unfortunately, that’s how it often goes. The internet is full of similar reports where people a treated like that by companies, sometimes even way worse than that.

Read it, prologic, it’s totally worth it. That’s a great writeup by some very cool dude.

The PR article by the company just speaks for itself and reinforces their dick move. No more questions. https://support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/8187090244506-Email-user-verification-bug-bounty-report-retrospective

In-reply-to » There’s this rumor that you can create a WhatsApp account with a burner phone, then link the phone to a browser on your desktop PC (web.whatsapp.com) and never have to use the phone again. This just doesn’t work. Every ~2 weeks, the session in the browser will time out and you have to re-link again. 🙄

@movq@www.uninformativ.de so, you keep lots of monologues. That’s the best “conversation” to keep! LOL.

(Another weird/funny thing is that I tend to “overload” other people on WhatsApp. I use it on the desktop with a proper keyboard, while they all use cell phones. The end result is me being able to type much more text and much faster, so they all fall behind and can’t really reply properly, because it’s such a huge pain to type on a phone …)

@bender@twtxt.net It’s really popular among the general population, yeah. But luckily no official services (like government stuff or doctors) depend on it – yet.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de while on the topic of WhatsApp, Europe is pretty reliant on it, isn’t it? Myself, in the US, exclusively use Messages (a vanilla iOS application) for 99% of my messaging needs. Only have WhatsApp… (what a shocker!) for my European family, and handful of friends. 🥴

In-reply-to » @prologic Actually, my twts from the last two days aren't showing up on , so I guess that no-one is following me and the reason my earlier twts did show up is that yarnd does a one-off fetch of any feed @-mentioned by a pod member. Comments in the code suggest that this is the case, see internal/server.go, commit 7dcec70e, line 468. As the author of that code, can you confirm/deny?

@asquare@asquare.srht.site And actually…

does a one-off fetch of any feed @-mentioned by a pod member

What is true here is if someone visits your “profile” on a pod whilst logged, it, yes yarnd fetches it in the background if it wasn’t already cached, as a “once off”. This is true.

@asquare@asquare.srht.site I see your reply now that I’m following you 🤣 The commit you’re ferring to btw is for WebMentions, which has little practical value IMO, it works but is rarely useful 😅

In-reply-to » @asquare (I wonder if that will ever show up without me mentioning you. 😅)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Ahh yes, that is probably the case 🤣 To be fair I don’t think too much about how things enter my cache, I just assume it’s either someone on my pod following them or whatever.

I didn’t follow at first because:

asquare may not follow you

Which probably means @asquare is probably using a client that doesn’t publicise its user agent or has it turned off? 🤔

In-reply-to » Say no to cordless peripherals! Real mice have tails! (I just like not having to charge and/or swap out batteries all the time)

I do not notice any lag with my Logitech Lift. Haven’t changed the inital battery from July last year yet. I have to say I’m rather impressed. The only reason for this cordless mouse is that I haven’t found a vertical mouse with a tail. Otherwise, I’d 100% taken that.

In-reply-to » The WordPress ecosystem has lost its mind… - YouTube 👈 This is a pretty good summary of how fucked up the Wordpress ecosystem is now thanks to Mat 🤦‍♂️ (not that I've ever used Wordpress uggh 💩)

@bender@twtxt.net Fair enough 🤣 To be honest, I don’t really have an opinion either way, I think what he’s done is a bit “silly” of course, but I dunno. I’ve never. been invested in Wordpress as I said. I’d like to think I’d behave much better than Mat in a similar circumstance, but then again I’m not lucky? enough to be in that position (stink’n rich and wealthy), so who knows 😅

@asquare@asquare.srht.site And let’s not forget the additional input lag! 😅 I have one wireless mouse, a Logitech M705, and the lag is noticeable. Maybe it’s a cheap model, I don’t know, I don’t use it that often. The batteries last forever, though. 🥴
