@fesshole do get back to us on how that one works out for you. In the meantime I’ll pop out for some popcorn.
@h5e I think I’m inclined to agree with that, I simply hadn’t ever considered sharing an image with EXIF metadata as a leak of location information. I almost think EXIF may have been a mistake just based on how often it results in surprising behaviour.
@h5e it also shouldn’t be in whatever random app or site your posting a photo on to remember to strip the location metadata before displaying it.
This is an interesting one. Thinking about it I’d say yes, of course the app in question gets image metadata as well as the raw image, but also I think it should be much clearer to users that this is what’s happening.

@gsuberland had a near miss with the boy recently on finding out he had a bunch of personal arty projects in his school Google account. The one that he would lose access to two days later on leaving that school.
@Edent I feel like you’re doing well if the majority of CVs even come with a cover letter. Most of what I see these days is just a bare CV, often five pages long and covering every job the candidate has ever had, and the fact they were captain of their school hockey team (genuinely a thing mentioned on one CV I saw).
@anon_opin however, if you move a clock forward from 3pm it would be at 4pm. Why don’t you just say “I’m moving the meeting to 2pm”.
@lizardbill @codinghorror yeah, don’t buy that at all. I couldn’t review 10,000 lines of code a day, even if I wasn’t also hand holding an LLM through generating it.
@solderandchaos I love that everyone just seems to know the etiquette on that as well. Country lane? Good morning. Council estate cut through? Good morning. Pedestrian crossing over a big road? Hell no, are you mad?
This is from Israel's oldest paper. This is Israeli media reporting these war crimes and genocide in broad daylight.
You won't see this in American corporate media. They've continued to ignore this, enable this, even justify this and cheer it on.
Do not look away. This is genocide. This cannot stand.
So far this week I’ve walked clean into a low hanging sign, leaving a substantial dent in my head, and dropped a full metal water bottle on my big toe, and it’s not even Wednesday yet. Stay tuned to find out what other exciting injuries I incur.
@q Moto G has always been my go to Android test device. Not utterly unusable, but crap enough you get the true £30/month including the phone Android user experience.
Periodic reminder that EU did not mandate cookie popups.
Cookie popups are yet another example of malicious complience by an industry that wants to use and abuse data about us all.
@PurpleJillybeans @catsalad so many different types of horrified face, it’s like looking at clouds.
@anon_opin this feels like a thing that could have been said to one specific person rather than the entire internet.
Thinking for some reason today of all the horror stories I was told about Eastern European socialist countries to characterise them as rapidly failing states.
"Systems and products never worked, despite all the glowing propaganda; people just shrugged and accepted it."
"Jobs and contracts were granted based on who you knew, not what you knew."
"Friends and family of the party could get whatever they liked, everyone else struggled even to get housing, food, and essentials."
"Unbiased reporting was nonexistent; the media just printed endless propaganda."
"You could be grabbed off the street by police for saying the wrong thing."
@sophie that “do not reverse in flight” sign has amused me. “Do not reverse in flight. You will fall out of the sky.”
(I guess it’s actually for some specific component rather than suggesting you might slam the whole plane in reverse without thinking)
Overheard at airport from airline staff : “sir, that is AI and AI is a liar”
@maartje possibly it avoids ID conflicts? Statistically it’s unlikely two delivery providers will generate the same hex string within the same 20 minute period.
