protip: if you want to feel like an absolute genius here, all you have to do is read the actual articles before going to the comments.
@ChieseBrutte Nessuna di queste chiese è brutta quanto “Nostra Signora della Death Star”.
Buongiorno, continua il nostro concorso che oggi coprirà nord, centro e sud Italia. Iniziamo da San Polo a Brescia mandata da @span nobru
Scendiamo poi a Roma per la Chiesa Apostolica segnalata da @span SmilaBlomma e concludiamo il nostro gran tour con Santa Maria di Monserrato a Rende (CS) da @span edgeofeurope
Non dimenticate di esprimere la vostra preferenza democratica:
@xentrac I have had to shitcan the IP blocks of half of the planet to stop the AI scrapers from making my site fall over. Presumably you are in one of those. So you can thank the slopbros for that.
@jwz Yeah, I'm in Argentina.
Security / privacy heads up: It looks like Google is now publicly linking the phone number on Google Pixel phones (or at least Pixel 6 and up) to any Gmail/Google account you've logged into that phone with.
"Phone number verification is turned on by default. We verify the phone number and add them to all Google Accounts that are signed in on the device. This applies to both current and future accounts and phone numbers. "
I.e., if you write erotica, have an Only Fans, do sex work, etc., and you have logged into your alt email addresses on your phone, Google will now make your personal phone number "findable" for anyone who has that email address.
This will potentially adversely affect a lot of (vulnerable and/or marginalized) people.
Everyone has been opted into this by default (because who has heard of consent or security in tech circles grrr).
To opt out:
1. On your phone, go to Settings, then next to your account name at the very top, go to "Google Services and Preferences".
2. Under “Privacy & security,” select Phone number verification.
3. Select whether to verify your phone number.
If you don't want your different identities linked and findable, make this change asap.
I hope that tech and especially infosec people and privacy advocates raise hell about this. (No one listens to the rest of us.)
*I don't work in tech, but I haven't seen tech people talk about this yet (from my limited Fedi vantage point).
Stay safe and keep your people safe.

You're welcome to boost or share this post, but if you see tech professionasl discuss it, I'd much rather you quote them, and if you discuss this outside of Fedi, please do *not* give me credit. I don't need reply guys coming at me, I just want to flag people on what might be a problem. Thanks for your understanding.

Yeah, it’s an embarrassing shit stain that .ml is the “main” instance. Every other instance admin is forced to play nice if they want a place to get support, which sucks. Lemmy needs to be forked hard, but those devs are sucking in funding from about a half-dozen or more sources, so they have more incentive than most to do the foot work.

Unfortunately, a couple of them are lead devs for Lemmy :/
Jordan as minority leader. Miller as chief of staff. They've declared war. I don't want to see any hands-across aisles bullshit from our leaders. No coddling Fetterman, either. War.
House Republicans elect Jim Jordan to serve as minority leader next year

Jim Jordan is a pervert-enabling shill for Koch Network and a fossil fuel funded fascist alliance.
The GOP never has leadership that isn't in the pocket of Big Oil.
Jordan is only a minor improvement over Mike Johnson, a shill for Konstantin Nikolaev.

The only thing the GOP does is cater to oil oligarchs.

Getting a ban from lemmy.ml is a badge of honour that many like to collect.
Gonna start saying things are unconscionable now. That's my new thing.
