In this great video Ryan @dasgeekchannel@twitter.com talks about how SMS 2FA services, like Twitter uses, are being used to track location & retrieve call logs from users.

+ how you can protect yourself & what you should use instead.

What is your principle Fediverse stream?

How do you follow / use The Fediverse / Mastodon?

Boosts appreciated.

Someone said "is that still a thing?" when I announced I was on Mastodon. Is it?
Boost this so we actually get a few votes maybe? How far can it go?

Matrix is better than Discord ;-)

love how you can't even build some ubuntu packages from their own source, using their own patches, using their own build tools, on their fuckin LTS distro.

then you hear the answer, "oh no, you have to disable all the unit tests" or "it'll build if you disable manpage generation".

it's been like this for years, it only seems to get worse and worse as they try to meet time based version numbers for LTS and end up with a pile of slop that everyone hoists up as one of the most popular distributions of linux.

the package maintainers ship unit tests for a fucking reason. if the tests fail, something is behaving differently than expected. the answer should be fix your patches so they don't break the project, not disable testing and ship it anyway.

LPT : forget about the bad news and work on a fun project like @PINE64 #pinetime.

Here's my latest achievement : time synchronization and BLE notification from a Linux computer to the Pinetime.

This is the beginning of a Linux companion app for the Pinetime, yay!
