Security researchers say Meta and Yandex used native Android apps to listen on localhost ports, allowing them to link web browsing data to user identities and bypass typical privacy protections.

This is for admins only.

  • Create a page with the url "privacy" and it will override the default privacy page.
  • Create a page with the url 'about' and the content will be appended to the normal about page.

All other urls just function as you'd expect with no special behavior.

Pretty soon I'll publish a 'rules' page based on the draft post the other day. I can't think of any other uses for it yet but I'm sure people will use it for creative things on their instances.

In web development, the technical term for those popup menus with multiple columns and headings inside is a "mega menu" and I just added one to PieFed. It unifies the topics and feeds menus into one.

It only works on a tablet or larger.

What do you think?

There are no written Soviet records, no logs, no official drilling reports, and no confirmation that they'd lit it intentionally – but there's no disputing a ~100-foot (~30-m) deep, 226-foot (69-m) wide pit of relentless fiery fury that's been burning for around 50 years in the Karakum Desert of Turkmenistan.

In the final few months of 1990, Tim Berners-Lee and his colleague Robert Cailliau developed the world’s first browser, created HTML, wrote the first web server, and invented HTTP.

UPDATE: the final (for now) version has been published at https://piefed.social/rules

Thanks for your contributions, everyone.


To maintain a safe, respectful, and fact-based community, the following types of content are prohibited on PieFed:

1. Harassment, Hate Speech, and Discrimination

  • Do not post content that is racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, ableist, or otherwise dehumanizing.
  • This includes slurs, dog whistles, or content that promotes stereotypes or attacks individuals or protected groups based on identity or background.

2. Spam and Malicious Behavior

  • No spamming, flooding, advertising, or self-promotion without permission.
  • No scams, phishing attempts, or distribution of malware.
  • No brigading, vote manipulation, or coordinated harassment.

3. Authoritarian and Fascist Propaganda

  • Content promoting fascist, ultranationalist, or authoritarian ideologies is not allowed, including things such as:

    • Genocide denial or minimization, such as denying or justifying atrocities in Gaza, Xinjiang, Ukraine, or elsewhere.
    • Use of fascist symbols & memes (e.g., Pepe the Frog), or 4chan/8chan screenshots.
    • Support for regimes or ideologies that suppress basic human rights.

4. Misinformation and Pseudoscience

  • No climate change denial or promotion of scientifically debunked conspiracy theories.

5. Violence and Threats

  • No threats of violence, incitement, or glorification of harm including terrorism, mass shootings, or political violence.

  • Joking about or fantasizing violence against individuals or protected groups is not tolerated.

7. Sexual Content and Exploitation

  • No sexually explicit content, porn, or fetish content

  • Strictly prohibited:

    • Sexualization of minors, even fictional

8. Impersonation and Misrepresentation

  • Do not impersonate other people (including accounts on other instances), public figures, or organizations. Satire is fine if obviously so.
  • Do not create deceptive accounts or mislead others about your identity, affiliations, or intent.

9. Illegal Content

  • Don’t post anything that could cause legal trouble for PieFed, piefed.social or the people involved.

10. Defederation

Generally this will be a last resort when problems from an instance are systemic or caused by the admins of the instance.

General Guidelines

  • Keep discussion civil and on-topic.
  • Respect privacy: do not post personal information (doxxing), even if publicly available elsewhere.
  • Admins reserve the right to remove communities & content or ban users at their discretion to protect the integrity of the community.
  • Repeatedly questioning moderation decisions in public threads may lead to removal. Instead email [email protected] for feedback or appeals.
  • Do not attempt to circumvent bans, content filters, or community guidelines.

It's refreshing to see a major publication just flatly stating that he's a fascist.

"Do you regularly watch videos by Jordan Peterson?" kinda needs to become one of those before-first-date screening questions.

Google has put a lot of effort into detecting and blocking stuff like this. They call it "click fraud", if you want to look it up.

It'll just mean they start ignoring clicks from you.

Remember when all the cookers were going on about "Save the children"?

This will not end well for him. He's doing a bunch of experiments, all at once, with a sample size of one.

Being registered "as a republican/democrat" is weird.

Electoral college is weird AF

One party trying to stop people voting is weird.

Queuing for hours to vote is weird.

Purging voter rolls is weird.

Rallies are weird.

Townhalls are weird.

Flags everywhere is weird.

The orange one is super weird.

Your votes are already public.

People say this all the time, but it's not really the case.

I don't think privacy is a binary thing that one either has or does not - there are degrees of privacy. Currently what we have is mostly private, requiring either technical skill or admin access to circumvent. This is a pretty high bar which 99% of people would not be able to reach. You're proposing removing the bar entirely because it is not high enough.

Yeah although if Russia wins it'd involve "unstable geopolitics" too.

This could be a long war.

To fascists, hypocrisy is a virtue:

https://hac.bard.edu/amor-mundi/hypocrisy-and-fascism-2018-08-12

They NEED to demonstrate their hypocrisy in order to signal to their supporters that the nasty shit they promise to do to The Other (immigrants, gays, whatever) won't be done to their supporters.

Just because Tesla made a lot of bad choices, that doesn't mean all EVs for all time will always be more expensive.
