While true, the vulnerabilities I’m referring to are those in the OS itself. But if they’re not connected, you should be ok. All I’m saying with this, is be super careful. Some of those vulnerabilities are zero click.
Edit: autocorrect that killed my grammar.
If your Air hadn’t reached it yet, eventually it’ll reach EOS and you’ll stop receiving software/OS updates from Apple. While this won’t force you to upgrade hardware, it does add significant risk to your online time, since vulnerabilities will go unpatched. But, again, an important difference, which you shrewdly point out, you’re not forced or coerced to upgrade.

You’re not alone on this boat, mate.
Super interesting approach. I like it.
Those aren’t prompts. Those are ads. Call a spade a spade. “Microsoft tries to convince Windows 10 users to buy a new PC with full-screen ads”
You sully the good name of shit.
Nice collection of links. Thanks for sharing!
Bluesky is supposed to decentralized, though it doesn’t seem to be. Threads being blocked doesn’t change the fact that it is technically part of the verse, although a red herring. Maybe both poor examples, but they’re alternatives to the verse, which was my point. Maybe adding a public mastodon instance as an alternative would have been a better example, but the main point stands: a uni isn’t likely going to host their own instance, due to the inherent risk associated with it.
Honorable goal. But it won’t work. From a business’s perspective, hosting such a server adds inherent risk. They won’t do it. You may be able to convince them to use the fediverse through threads or bluesky, but they won’t host their own instance, even if the CTO/CIO/CISO agrees with your love for the verse. I’m not saying you shouldn’t try. I’m saying you should provide alternatives to twitter and to self-hosted mastodon; alternatives that don’t require self hosting anything.
I absolutely LOVE that one. One of my all time favorites.
This was ONE GUY??? What a legend! I hope his family knows the giant positive impact he’s had on so many people, and is able to find some sort of comfort knowing he will be missed by so many strangers. A true tragedy.

I hate that we need this.
Eu needs to just block fb en large and be done with it.
The company said the changes are for users in the European Union, in response to evolving EU regulatory feedback
Sounds like a petulant child throwing a tantrum for being told ‘no’.
minimal set of data points including a person’s age, location, gender, and how a person engages with ads.
Sounds like they’re skirting the regulation.
allowing people to connect with the brands and products that are most relevant to them.
“Connecting with brands and products” is not even remotely close to why people use social media.
Tf are they going on about?!
Agreed! When everything is actively against us, we must band together against everything.
If you have a factory pixel, you don’t need to root. You can unlock bootloader and install a rom that has it (calyxos or grapheneos I know have them). You can root, but you don’t have to.
Didn’t know that. Just been manually rebooting. This is is much easier and more secure. Thanks!
