Yeah. Time to review how you use Apple, Google, and Microsoft cloud services.
20 Years of Digital Life, Gone in an Instant, thanks to Apple
Summary: A major brick-and-mortar store sold an Apple Gift Card that Apple seemingly took offence to, and locked out my entire Apple ID, effectively bricking my devices and my iCloud Account, Apple Developer ID, and everything associated with it, and…Dr Paris Buttfield-Addison (hey.paris)

Huh. I did not know YouTube has a size limit on Watch Later.
Leave it to an AuDHDer to find it, eh.

You can have 5000 videos you've gaslit yourself in to being confident you will later watch.

Politicoloog Arend Lijphart: ‘De VS waren nooit echt democratisch’
Politicologie: Arend Lijphart (89) is de belangrijkste Nederlandse politicoloog aller tijden. Hij werd bekend door zijn werk over de verzuiling, maar vanuit zijn huis in San Francisco volgt hij nu vooral de Amerikaanse politiek.Milo van Bokkum (NRC)

Many insidious and transgressive user interface changes were made between Windows 10 and #Windows11, but the one that most makes me want to smack someone across the nose with a rolled-up newspaper and rebuke them with a sharp "no!" is the fact that pressing PrintScreen no longer takes a screenshot and puts it in your clipboard, it waits the longest second of your life and then brings up the new snipping tool UI.
Fortunately it can be turned off in Accessibility -> Keyboard.

Das Verbrenner-aus-aus ist das Dümmste das man der europäischen Industrie antun kann. Jetzt sollen also nur mehr 90% der KFZ Flotte CO2-neutral sein. Dh 10% der Autos dürfen 2035 noch Verbrenner sein und 90% sind Elektrofahrzeuge.
Wird es bei 10% Verbrenner noch Tankstellen geben? Nö.
Wird es bei 10% Verbrennern noch KFZ Werkstätten geben? Nö.
Wird es für 10% Verbrenner eine komplett doppelte Produktionskette geben? Nö.

I'm in the process of revisiting every data source here since the begining of the year to make sure nothing can be taken away from me.

in reply to Baldur Bjarnason • • •Many of the replies to the above post are solid examples of why people who are seeking alternatives to traditional social media still bounce off Mastodon: you all have a tendency to behave like assholes.
Nobody wants a lecture on switching to Linux, ever, or to be told how using the services they’ve been sold makes them a fool, and wasting that lecture on somebody who is already on Linux and already uses iCloud as little as possible just makes you a dick

in reply to Baldur Bjarnason • • •Look, behaving like an asshole is my brand....
I guess what I see is the sort of people I started working with computers, and everyone was really enthusiastic about their particular brand or style or language or whatever. People who were insistent on building your own computer. Or plugging home-made hardware into it.
So for me, it feels more like a home that i remember. Not the political hot-house that other places have been. I find it a lot better, but I know I am a nerd who prefers the geek culture to the serious one.

in reply to Baldur Bjarnason • • •yes. i'm an IT person who has made a real effort to make sure our family files are not vulnerable to this. it is hard and expensive and i'm still not sure i have covered everything important. i keep running into intentional evil fuckery.
for example: our QNAP NAS synchronized photos from Google, allowing us to back them up to second NAS and SFTP. great! .. but Google killed the API the sync relied on in March.

in reply to Baldur Bjarnason • • •I agree. That's why I actively avoid tech post on here and even migrated away from a tech instance.
Technology seems to be a religion here, an extreme one that worship no other gods.
