So, many banks issue a digital version of your banking card (whatever that may be) onto your personal devices, and many of these cards have the same card numbers + expiry date but a unique CVV number for online payments, which is different from the physical card.

Apparently many banks allow either the digital, or the on-card CVV number to be accepted when making an online purchase, meaning that a lot of bank cards with a corresponding digital version probably have 2 (or more) valid CVV combinations instead of a single one 🤔

The loops.video instance has been submitted to #FediBlock with the reason being outlined below. I can't say I disagree, the terms of service presents a serious problem for user content rights, and this should be addressed before federation of loops.

Otherwise for the safety of your users I would highly suggest that instance admins defederate loops immediately once it comes online (assuming the TOS is not changed first)

Feeling cute, might fuck around and become a missionary for free and open technology later.

Catch me giving sermons on the street corner about the benefits of free software, and the need for open hardware to prevent the evil sins of corporate code that exploits the people!!

with how large the L3 and L2 cache has gotten in modern processors (up to 32MB L3 in common desktop CPUs!!!) I think it would be really funny to build a stripped down linux kernel that can execute directly from L3 cache somehow...

I think Linux and CPUs have some way to pin RAM addresses into L3 cache permanently, might be worth messing with that and seeing if it can work lol

GNU Taler is a new payment system for private, secure, auditable transfers from any digital device, to any merchant in the modern world using decentralized methods.

Rarely do I find a technology which makes me as excited as GNU Taler does, it is not a banking system, or cryptocurrency, but instead a secret third thing.

Check it out!

Interesting how the #Loops repo is marked as AGPL 3.0 code on github, and yet the backend server being used by the loops app is actually running newer code which has not been released to the public yet.

This is a violation of the AGPL 3.0 license clearly displayed on the project's github page, and all users who have interfaced with the Loops API are legally entitled to the updated backend source code too... where is the code? why are they so against just releasing the code in compliance with their own license already? smh

Wow, a single comment questioning @dansup@mastodon.social and I was immediately blocked, not even a discussion man? really?

their choice to keep calling loops "open source" while the code is closed, as well as the recent post about hiding federation features behind extra menus so all new users auto-signup to services controlled by him, is concerning for genuine reasons (although I'm sure he's already called me a troll or something)

This combined with the comments/jokes about "exploring" advertising for the loops platform is highly concerning, here you have somebody siphoning users into a single server they control, while developing an app they call open source without any code being available, who also thinks advertisements are a reasonable business model for the fediverse...

We could have just spoken about your views on this, but I suppose my ideas about FOSS and no advertising were too threatening lol

Think twice, or thrice, about actually signing up and supporting #Pixelfed or #Loops while dansup is behind them tbh

semi-regular reminder that captcha technology is almost universally useless, and bots complete almost all forms of captcha faster and more accurately than humans.

Stop using it.

I feel like the internet should be an independent national organization, independently regulated with its own rule of law and governance systems, letting national governments which are tied to specific populations and land areas control such an important shared global resource is misguided and morally/ethically wrong tbh
