Is there a canonical essay about (the problems with and complexities of) social media aggregation as journalism that I can just link to so I don't have to break down the angles and weirdnesses myself?
@kissane@evan My favorite version of this is when they do this and just put embedded links to the tweets/posts, so that when/if the person deletes the tweet it leaves a big dead block in their “article”
@lapcatsoftware@Verso And via @mjtsai on their blog, it appears that Ben has issued a statement, make of it what you will:
addendum: having now read that in its entirety, and noticing that there appears to be no surtleesstudio.com site OTHER than that post, and that the language of the post itself seems to be amazingly SEO-like, I’m going to consider myself MORE suspicious than fears allayed.
@bynkii Crap, that just sunk in.
Yeah, you can kiss off connecting from your personal computer to a terminal server or remote app unless you have that verifiably turned off on your personal machine.
Yikers.
@latelesley@SimonPegg Yeah, I don’t know. I’m seeing people on BlueSky saying they’re hearing it was staged from Twitter, I’m seeing people on Twitter saying they’re hearing it was staged from BlueSky…they arrested two people so I guess we’ll find out pretty damn quick.
Alternately everyone could just start throwing milkshakes at the Farage whenever he shows his face, and then we’ll find out. 😂
@latelesley@SimonPegg No idea whether it’s true or not, but if it is, THIS is how you get subs for your OnlyFans!! 😂
Also, gotta love the “UNMASKED”, like cmon, she’s not Batwoman.
Or is she?
I've got an #iPad / #OSINT puzzle, and I could use any suggestions anybody has to throw out there.
Back in 2022 in the middle of the pandemic a medical provider in NYC sent my uncle an iPad to attend a virtual appointment on.
I'm trying to figure out how to return it to them, or barring that, to factory reset it so that it can be returned to service as a useful device rather than a nearly brand-new iPad needing to be recycled.
This has proven to be... difficult. #Apple#tech#hacking

@gwynnion I couldn't stop laughing, while in the waiting room of a health clinic, when I got to the part where Ben is stuffing dollar bills down the owlbear's pants. 🤣
What I want to see from WWDC '24: Apple unveils a replacement for Stage Manager in iOS 18.
The new Strange Manager rotates your desktop through a non-euclidean space warped by blasphemous geometries; eldritch transition effects include Transform into Ravens and Fly Away, Eaten by Shoggoths, Tentacles, and The Horror, The Horror.
