Now THIS is what a customer-centric app is.

Most banks keep sending out warning emails about impersonation and scams.

Any app can implement this capability with a little coding + backend work (assuming their BE sensible enough): and yet Monzo is the first one I’ve heard do it.

What is worse in Deutsche Bahn?

- being late all the time
- using the default Docker network range in their WIFI

Just learned about ".nam" files. Already saw a few pedals/pedalboards supporting it.

Fender released something for Linux!. This is the year of the Linux desktop.

Very clever from @anthropic.com to add this to the commit log, but it would be more fair that they also add dollars burned in the feature.

gotosocial + sqlite runs on a $5 instance.

Is there a reason to take the full Mastodon ruby based server vs a Go binary for a personal instance?

Gizmodo An Employee Surveillance Company Leaked Over 21 Million Screenshots Online

On Thursday, researchers at Cybernews reported that over 21 million screenshots from WorkComposer, which works with over 200,000 companies worldwide, were discovered in an unsecured Amazon S3 bucket.

As part of its services, WorkComposer captures screenshots of an employee’s computer every 3 to 5 minutes. So, the leaked images potentially include sensitive content like internal communications, login information, and even an employee’s personal information that could leave them vulnerable to identity theft, scams, and more.

That’s what companies get for spying on their own employees. 😅

Can confirm: to generate action figures of friends.

Is there a way to create a team account and invite people without going to Enterprise?

Y en Canadá pasando lo impensado hace apenas un par de meses. Gracias al matonaje de Trump con el vecino, los liberales remontaron desde el 6 de enero en adelante y ahora las más recientes encuestas proyectan su victoria frente a los conservadores.

Upgraded from 4a to 8a and I like the 4a more in every sense.

Not sure what will be my next phone.

A photograph of an Oxide exhibit booth at SUSECON in a large conference hall. On the right stands a tall black server rack the Oxide cloud computer, featuring green accents in each bay. To the left is a freestanding sign with “Oxide” branding and the slogan “The open source cloud you own,”

Setup for SUSECON is complete and the @oxide.computer team doesn’t miss! Rack is great, graphics are on point, is that an OLED TV for the booth monitor?? The future of on-prem is here in Orlando all week long.

I am testing some AI code review tools.

My initial impression about signal vs noise is already negative.

Why would they enable ASCII art and poems by default?

While Bluesky has been a much nicer place than X. I have been enjoying the fediverse more lately.

People talk more about things I like and things I do vs what is happening in the world.

Amazon obviously doesn't trust Claude 3.7 to even update the documentation. What critical processes are you trusting it with?

Marketing hype is great, but watch what tech companies don't even use their own tech for.

Got BIOS VGA signal from the motherboard external VGA port, which means I can test replacing the DALLAS DS1287 RTC without assembling the laptop.

That VGA port looks suspicious 🧐

It never ceases to amaze me how bad is Amazon search.

I wonder the impact it has in people buying the wrong stuff.

Ruby is usually found in Rails server-side rendered monoliths. How do you define "backend" here?

they released support for privacy pass a few days ago for exactly that reason :3
