    Doing unit tests is such sweet sorrow.

    The core of the matter is that Mastodon breaks the trust model of the fediverse. It intentionally, by design, feeds remotes bad inputs.

    When you have a living wage every month to develop something, expectations change.  If you don't expect that, I don't know what to tell you.

    @hermeslispegistus @moonman @fl0wn No they are not, unless you count those of us who are server admins like fl0wn and I noticing them in our logs and comparing notes.

    (Or developers for software that federates with Mastodon, hi!)

    Some examples:

    1. Salmon slaps from mastodon often include data that is not understood by GS or postActiv and causes them to fail.
    2. Profiles contain HTML which is not permissible by the standard.  all data transmitted in ActivityVerbs should be pre-rendering.  Rendering is added by the server
    3. Subscriptions from Mastodon to GNU social or postActiv often fail to renew because Mastodon does not seem to agree on expiry dates and will not renew them.  This is why people from Mastodon following externally have to refollow people often.  IIRC this happens internally with Mastodon too.
    4. Sending notices to people that have a private account will create misleading errors that cause external servers to continue retrying notices to ir

    You guys do realize that any server that federates with Mastodon is getting the lion's share of the same load in all the federated notices and they're still up, right?

    Or do YOU GUYS not understand how the federation works?

    I'm kind of glad all the vicious cretins are on one node, it makes them much easier to ignore.

    "If the tech industry is drawing one lesson from the latest WikiLeaks disclosures, it's that data-scrambling encryption works," writes the Associated Press, "and the industry should use more of it."


    If the press is asserting we should use something, right now, I'm going to assume it's compromised.

    • RDN's Lucifer
    @nerthos It seems like companies, names, brands, get to a point where they're so popular people can't let go when they do start shitting things up, so they have no impetus to keep being good.  Do you think they'd keep churning out kind of tatty games, if people ran off immediately if it was shit?  Naw, they try to convince themselves its not that bad, because they don't want to let go.

    "Recently unsealed records reveal a much more extensive secret relationship than previously known between the FBI and Best Buy's Geek Squad, including evidence the agency trained company technicians on law-enforcement operational tactics, shared lists of targeted citizens and, to covertly increase surveillance of the public, encouraged searches of computers even when unrelated to a customer's request for repairs. Assistant United States Attorney M. Anthony Brown last year labeled allegations of a hidden partnership as "wild speculation." But more than a dozen summaries of FBI memoranda filed inside Orange County's Ronald Reagan Federal Courthouse this month in USA v. Mark Rettenmaier contradict the official line."


    Pretty much nobody connected with any of this surveillance is trustworthy.  Most of them seem willfully and intentionally malicious in this respect.

    @cyberpotato The thing that people don't seem to understand with this - even people who should know better - is that every layer of password rules reduces the attack space considerably.  There's less they have to try to guess to get in with a brute force attack.

    Password rules are bullshit, via a blog comment:

    ----

    "My Secure Password" <-- Sorry, no spaces allowed. (Why not?)
    "MySecurePassword" <-- Sorry, Passwords must include a number
    "MySecurePassword1" <-- Sorry, Passwords must include a special character
    "MySecurePassword 1" <-- Sorry, no spaces allowed (Argh!)
    "MySecurePassword%1" <-- Sorry, the % character is not allowed
    "MySecurePassword_1" <-- Sorry, passwords must be shorter than 16 characters
    "Fuck" <-- Sorry, passwords must longer than 6 characters
    "Fuck_it" <-- Sorry, passwords can't contain bad language
    "Password_1" <-- Accepted.

    "The European Union's top court ruled in May 2014 that people could ask search engines, such as Google or Microsoft's Bing, to remove inadequate or irrelevant information from the web results produced from searches for people's names. Today, the court is limiting the so-called "right to be forgotten" principle, ruling that individuals cannot demand that personal data be erased from company records in an official register."


    In case anyone thought the EU actually cares about your rights, a reminder they do not.

    Personally, I think that we need to be focussing on affordable free hardware.

    Hardware freedom doesn't mean diddly squat if only the bourgeois can afford it.

    "Uber is using a tool called "Greyball" to work identify requests made by certain users and deny them service, according to the report. The application, later renamed the "violation of terms of service" or VTOS program, is said to employ data analysis on info collected by the Uber app to identify individuals violating Uber's terms of service, and blocks riders from being able to hail rides who fall into that category -- including, according to the report, members of code enforcement authorities or city officials who are attempting to gather data about Uber offering service where it's currently prohibited. The report claims that that Uber's "violation of terms of service" or VTOS program, briefly known as Greyball, began around 2014, and has sign-off from Uber's legal team."


    It is literally obstruction of justice if they are intentionally trying to prevent legal investigations by police and they should get hauled over the coals by the crown attorney here if this happened here.
