Facebook filed to patent a system that can remotely activate the mic on someone’s phone using inaudible signals broadcast via a television.

“The technology in this patent has not been included in any of our products, and never will be.” - Facebook 🤔

"Deep in your innermost being, you’ve always known you were destined to learn Clojure. Every time you held your keyboard aloft, crying out in anguish over an incomprehensible class hierarchy; every time you lay awake at night, disturbing your loved ones with sobs over a mutation-induced heisenbug; every time a race condition caused you to pull out more of your ever-dwindling hair, some secret part of you has known that there has to be a better way."

Should I take the first step?

thank you (boosts very appreciated)

http://bugseverywhere.org/ - a distributed (via git) bug tracker. Definitely interesting, and a nice way to avoid centralization on Github.

Not sure I always want to tie code & bug state together though, or need to commit to change it. Anybody tried this, or something similar?

Its interesting to see how much time people spend on FB vs other social media.

Congrats @Chocobozzz and the whole @Framasoft team on reaching their funding goal for #peertube. There is still 12 days left to reach some stretch goals, but this is already an incredible achievement. #federation #p2p #video https://www.kisskissbankbank.com/en/projects/peertube-a-free-and-federated-video-platform

“The year is 2020. I zap some FooCoin at beveragecopter to refill my cup. Bartender flips the TV to talking heads debating which cryptos are really truly ‶money″. Viewers are charged per second via HTML5 eye-tracking APIs. I sigh, exasperated, look away, stick in my ear plugs.”

I'm watching Star Trek Enterprise right now and my main observation so far is that at some time in the next few hundred years we, as a species, apparently go back to using 4:3 aspect ratio for our monitors.

With #Mastodon 2.4 you can now type a #PeerTube video URL directly in the search bar to find it.

It means you can watch/comment/like videos that were not federated with your instance :)

@ekaitz_zarraga on that note I recommend checking out the specter library, I was really blown away by the way you can transform data with it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rh5J4vacG98
