F-Droid  

F-Droid will soon have stricter requirements for apps showing up in the "Latest" tab in the F-Droid app:

news.f-droid.org/posts/2019-03

If you are an app developer consider adding good descriptions, screenshots and a "Whats's New" section for your app.

If you notice that your favourite app doesn't fulfill all these requirements consider notifying the app's developers or just help them with a merge request adding the missing info to the source repo.

Since the fediverse's temature seems a little hot right now, it might be a good time to remind y'all about mastodon-de-mob.codesections.c , which is the tool I wrote to help block harassing users.

I hope no one needs it, but don't forget that it's there. Stay safe out there and be kind to one another!

This is an excellent testimonial to FOSS systems. Regardless of your thoughts on the quality of the product, people bought these things for $900 American. Now, the company is gone and the servers are being shut down. This formerly $900 device is useless for anything other than parts.

Watching Mastodon grow and seeing other ActivityPub compatible platforms appearing is great! I love that all these disparate applications work together to form one new user base. By making your new software ActivityPub aware, you're getting a built in community. I hope it continues to grow and grow.

(Metadata Anonymisation Toolkit) is a tool for scrubbing files of revealing metadata.

MAT supports many filetypes including TIFF, PNG, JPEG, Open Document, Office OpenXML, TAR, ZIP, MPEG, OGG, FLAC, and Torrent.

When a file is opened MAT will tell you whether the file is dirty (contains identifiable metadata) or clean. MAT can then clean dirty files, allowing you to anonymously distribute them.

PSA: MyFitnessPal has been compromised leading to 143M accounts to have their weakly hashed passwords, usernames, email addresses and IP addresses leaked.

Considering that UnderArmour owns MFP, and that password resets go through your UA account, I would garner to say that you should change your password if you're signed up to any of the UA-owned services.

I figured out the appleid.apple.com issue.

It sniffs your User-Agent.

If it says Linux, Bad Gateway error.

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK

IT WORKS WITH A WINDOWS UA

IT WORKS WITH A BSD UA

IT WORKS WITH A GOD DAMN OS/2 UA
