Motorola Signature 27 meets all of our official security requirements. It provides a high performance hardware memory tagging (MTE) implementation from Qualcomm, a high quality dedicated secure element from NXP and we'll be able to provide 7 years of proper update from launch.
@GrapheneOS looking forward, privacy is King!!
Following on from my old “how long have you been using computers” polls from a long time ago, here’s one I’ve wanted to ask for a while.
How did you first get online?
Not the first time you used a computer but rather first time you were actually connected to something outside your own machine. A BBS counts. AOL counts. The school library counts. Your mate’s dad’s work account that you definitely weren’t supposed to be using counts as well.
If AOL or CompuServe was just how you got on the web, pick dial-up. If it was at school, uni or work, pick that one.
For me it was Optus ADSL on the family 😜 machine. I don’t remember any modem screech so I’m firmly in the broadband kid camp, but the internet still dropped every time someone had to use the home phone because the phone had to be plugged into the same wall socket as the modem router.
Last time round the results skewed heavily towards people who started in the 80s which makes sense on a retro instance, so I’m curious how this one splits. I’m expecting a lot of BBS and CompuServe answers.
Tell me the details in the replies!

@SinclairSpeccy 1200/75 baud full-size modem card inside an 8086 processor based PC (IBM clone) with 2 floppy drives, MSDos 3.2 and a monochrome Hercules graphics monitor. Used a text based BBS. It was somewhere in the mid 1980s if I recall correctly.

why is Nashville such a thing for the far right all of a sudden?? https://www.thelettersfromleo.com/p/the-global-capital-of-protestantism
@peter For somebody who injects teenager blood or whatever bullshit he does and also as someone with unlimited funds for healthcare, he looks remarkably bad. Also, does he get his haircuts from some dude behind the bus station? 😁

Pretty surprised to see Booker on the opposed list. He’s as corporate as they get and is the Dem version of Susan Collins, talks big then caves. #USPolitics
@david This is from October 28:
"Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) declined to directly endorse Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) as the prospective leader of a Democratic Senate majority, saying during a CNN interview that the decision would ultimately be made by a vote of senators."
@biddy_sue Kumara! Spinach, beans, zucchinis. There might still be time for pumpkins, not sure.
@zeborah oooh Kumera, nice choice. And I forgot to say - have a nice row of that coloured spinach this year

As a counterpoint, sloppy projects are being shared all over and it’s basically spam at this point. Even /r/rust had to disallow code projects, because there was simply way too much slop being posted all the time.
People share projects because back in the day, a project with hundreds of thousands of lines of code with a cool website and a lot of features were evidence of a lot of hard work, a lot of design decisions and a lot of tradeoffs.
Vibe coding has made that a bad metric. These things no longer mean that any actual work has been dedicated to this project. Anyone could use an afternoon prompting an agent to build the same thing. There is no value in sharing such a thing. At best, it’s worthless and at worst, it’s borderline a scam, an attempt at disguising a project as something it isn’t.

Poll: Have you ever seen a penguin (in real life)
@mcc there’s a nightly parade of little penguins coming ashore during summer here in Victoria Aus
Breaking News: Senate Candidate Scott Colom (D-TN) Refuses To Back Chuck Schumer For Majority Leader
Ask whether he would support Chuck Schumer for Senate majority leader, Scott Colom says, "My concern about leadership from the Democratic Party is too many of our leaders are from the same areas of the country."
@mastodonmigration Dude's got a point. We have factories that mass-produce archetypal "Corrupt democrat" types here in NY
If you're trusting NY democrats to do anything that *isn't* just move the corruption from the red team's coffers to the blue team's, you're almost certainly underestimating just how corrupt the party esablishment is here.

#DefaidodonDay #DyddDefaidodon 2026 starts now! It's time for lamb spam - shear joy and woolly good vibes all day!
On November 7 every year we celebrate our fuzzy friends by drowning the fediverse in #sheep
Got no sheep? We happily accept goats, chickens, horses, cows, ducks and more.
But mainly sheep.
No use bleating around the bush, just post something, tag it, and watch our annual flock grow!
Last year we saw hundreds of sheep from over a dozen countries, let's make this year the biggest fediflock so far!
If it's already November 8 where you are, don't worry, join in anyway! Defaidodon Day keeps going until the flock is brought in. Ready, set, graze. Show us your sheep!

FediWall - sit back and enjoy an auto-updating picture board:
My boyfriend shouts "And away" from Mortimer and Whitehouse Gone Fishing after he ejaculates inside me and pulls out. I dread it every time we have sex.
JD Vance is already trying to slither away from Trump. After the GOP’s midterm wipeout, he’s blaming the Iran war and pretending he had nothing to do with it.
But let’s not forget who made JD: Peter “The Antichrist Guy” Thiel, the Silicon Valley billionaire behind the tech right’s alliance with MAGA.
As Vance eyes 2028, he may think he can outrun Trump’s baggage. He can’t outrun the shadow of his Thiel-backed rise.
@gilduran Hasn’t Peter Thiel followed in so many other German Nazis’ footsteps and fled to Argentine?
Today, we’re joining over 100 groups across 16 European countries who are coming together to take action this weekend to call for a moratorium on large-scale data centres.
With over 85 events taking place across the UK and Europe, from mass demonstrations to local actions, book launches, poetry nights and even cycle rides, there is sure to be an event for you!
All over the UK, across Europe and beyond, communities and civil society groups have been fighting the energy, water, and land-hungry data centres being imposed on them. Now, we’re coming together to make our voices heard.
Join us and find an action near you: https://stopdirtydatacentres.eu
This open source open hardware watch is a game changer. I have already updated the watch face display with current information I use to stamp legal documents all day and reduce risk of errors. All the annoyances of the expensive proprietary watch are gone, especially the telemetry that I could not turn off. This watch lets me fully control my attack surface to my threat model, but I will need to verify and test as always.
That we don’t have single transferable vote in NZ is crummy.

The #CanberraKineticSculptureRace was exceedingly good this arvo. Engineering and art came together on the shores of Lake Burley Griffin to produce some ridiculous contraptions capable of racing on both land and water.

Edit: fixed the event name!
It's okay if you didn't get it all done today.
Just over an hour left to get my new album on #BandcampFriday! I mean, it'll still be there tomorrow, but then Bandcamp gets some of the money, and why would any of us want that https://traiken.bandcamp.com/album/we-are-not-here
