@ai6yr @briankrebs OFC this targets #TechIlliterates and the only effective means here are:

  1. Teach #TechLiteracy instead of consumerism.
  2. Mandate #confirmation & #notification - #PopUp|s for every use of #Clipboard (similar to #webcam use by websites)...
  3. Ban #JavaScript - seriously!
  4. Ban #Windows, because it's a #Govware, espechally since #Windows10 and even more so on #Windows11 that is *insecure in every configuration!
  5. Put #TechIlliterates before a system they can't feck up. I.e. @tails_live @tails / #Tails for that reason alone (can't run such commands if they neither got #root nor any #persistent #storage to target).
  6. Normalize the use of @torproject #TorBrowser!
  7. #Teach #tech #literacy instead of #consumerism!
  8. Ban #GAFAMs and their shitty products!
  9. Migrate every #TechIlliterate to #Linux and don't give them administrative privilegues.
  10. Teach tech literacy instead of consumerism!

Screenshot of ProtonMail notification after I clicked the forward button. It says, "The original message you are trying to forward/reply to is in the process of being sent..." This could be HTML tampering by hackers. I'm using a public library computer and am a target of persistent hacking. I believe many users are hacked without realizing it, as the signs are often subtle and easy to overlook.

@JustOneMoreThing

They're #smart, they're #stubborn and #persistent, and their teeth and claws can get through almost anything else - the hardware cloth I have is a 1/4" steel wire mesh made of (I think) 19- or 20-gauge steel wire. They can get through anything flimsier than that. So it blocks off parts of the rooms we don't want them in (wires, speakers, etc) and you learn to live with The Rabbit Owner House Look.

Don't get too attached to soft furnishings and carpets either 😜

@aral
I've never understood why the act of taking a screenshot generates a persistent notification by default in most screenshot apps.

Like, I already know a screenshot was taken; I'm the one who took it! And if I need to do something with the screenshot I just took, I want to either click on an ephemeral toast notification that pops up immediately after, or set the screenshot app to save all screenshots to a folder, and then retrieve them from there if/when I need them.

Persistent notifications for ephemeral actions should not exist.

@moebeus @adafede @ainali @wikidata @querywikidata
Same approach.
This project merges the data fetching (#SPARQL + github action) and the data processing/display. My approach was to split these two concerns into two github repositories.

At Wikimania Singapore, i heard Wikimedia was considering creating a similar online service, so #persistent, rapid, and regularly #updated results stay available and fetchable in millisecs. Question are: true ? Then when ?

#MicroPlastics are something that I worry about. As #persistent and #evasive as they are, I wonder about the effects that they have on everything.

I’m a guy who ,aside from #BadMemory, was in pretty good physical shape up until just a few years ago. The worst effects of #TBI did not present themselves for more than two decades since the injury.

With that in mind, I often ask myself if my condition could have been exaggerated by outside influences- such as micro plastics

@quikkie Somehow VMWare Hub is linked in as a ?container? to the Knox Security service that is on Samsung. The Factory Reset using the ADB didn't get rid of the Hub software. It is a pretty good #Infosec #Andriod #Persistent #Threat. I certainly hope that #VMWare has thoroughly tested their Work Profile software, seems like a good entry point for #Redteam or #Blackhat #Cyberattack (or third party compromise). People have been looking at holes in the software and have found some already (may have been patched)

And to wrap - if you don't have your own apache instance, you can absolutely pull off this same level of shenanigans with what we did earlier with verified #github:URLs, same code:

github.com/DrCuff/drcuff.githu

Same dealio, just change the names and URL, add a custom DNS to point at "the hub" .io address and there you have it, "#persistent" #mastodon URL -

It's like an amex, don't leave home without it. 🤣
