mastodon privacy
the rss thing is a preposterous non-issue.
there's no point in removing rss feeds when the public toots are just there in the open in a plain html page with anonymous access. 'making it 2% harder to scrap' does not look like a worthy move when we don't even have basic privacy options that would really solve the problem
we need options to remove posts (even public, and boosts) and rss feeds from profiles on unauthenticated access (you can't scrap if you can't enumerate)
we need private/followers-only posts to be more usable. people won't use the best security feature available if it breaks other things they need
Public Data Will Always Be Scrappable. there's nothing more to it
Food + Late Stage Capitalism
The curious phenomenon of "ghost kitchens" has arrived in Canada. These are commercial kitchen facilities that exist solely to fill orders for food delivery gig platforms like Skip the Dishes, DoorDash and Uber Eats.
Each kitchen often poses as several different "restaurants". It is like another shitty silicon valley scam idea like "ghost hotels" on AirBnB and drop shippers with fake Shopify storefronts selling cheap watches and stuff.
Just found a directory of bail funds in the so-called US!

Jail is a fucking traumatizing and inhumane experience that no one should have to be exposed to. Donating to a bail fund can help reduce the number of people who are. A good cause to put your money toward, if you're looking for one
@Pops good reminder to kick some money to the local immigration bail fund for #solarpunkactionweek
#solarpunkactionweek Make a star compass!
Find out what the brightest stars are in your location, where they rise on the azimuth (compass points). You can learn to tell time and the seasons, by watching which stars rise and set, too.

The Stellarium desktop planetarium is free, crossplatform and open source.
https://stellarium.org/
Stellarium is cool because you can toggle on different star cultures under 'star lore.'
I canceled my redirect because I heard there's a chance the instance might survive, but let's say it's on break for now. You can find me at @fenris@vulpine.club!
An #introduction post, again.

an anarchist (blue, green, red)
PoC and I live in Europe 🌍
I have ADHD and anxiety, so I'm kind of shut in and don't work atm I know how to code though (java)! But I haven't written in a while.
I have many interests between which I regularly switch:

Can anyone please help me mirror the #SunbeamCity wiki please?
I put it on dat. You just need Beaker Browser: https://beakerbrowser.com/
Just go to this dat address and toggle and click "Seed this sites files".
dat://cf9de5d87118ad22ecd927df1c1b174632c6a1920ade2ef57f75e8421017ccc5/doku.html
I have an old account just in case things go down.
I'm also backing up the sunbeam wiki as we speak which I will make available via bitorrent or dat..
Jsyk, I have a backup account here: @Fenris@computerfairi.es
I'm not sure I'll stay there, but I'll be able to keep y'all updated.
I'm taking other instance recommandations, so long as they're leftist, queer, disabled and PoC friendly. Bonus points if on the mastodon glitch fork.
