The "Recall can't record DRMed video content" thing is because DRMed video content is entirely invisible to the OS. The OS passes the encrypted content to your GPU and tells it where to draw it, and the GPU decrypts it and displays it there. It's not a policy decision on the Recall side, it's just how computers work.

this is... crazy 😅 bluetooth headphones masquerading as wired ones

"True Apple lightning devices are more expensive to make. So instead of conforming to the Apple standard, these companies have made headphones that receive audio via bluetooth — avoiding the Apple specification — while powering the bluetooth chip via a wired cable, thereby avoiding any need for a battery."

Saw that Microsoft saying it’s a website’s fault if your password gets swept up by Recall if the site doesn’t cloak the password entry field following “standard internet protocols” which completely ignores the accessibility case for showing someone what they’ve typed in to their password field. Pretty sure every password manager lets you do this, and a ton of sites as well.

What a head-in-the-sand take.

Got called in to assist with a migration at work yesterday, the culprit? A missing / in a config tcp:/ instead of tcp:// leading to "host name can't be null" errors which made no sense.

The reason a Black Mastodon needs to exist is because White people have proven countless times to be so deeply entrenched in White Supremacy that they will, consciously or unconsciously, destroy everything that Black people make.

To even question a Black Mastodon is to admit the desire to erase even the idea of its existence.
