@LokiTheCat yup blank tariffs are not a bright strategy at all 😉

@LokiTheCat the only smart move is not to play 😁

@LokiTheCat it is. Only of production could move back in-country you could claim some benefits but who wants to pay american salaries for smart bulb production?

@LokiTheCat he he, that and the average consumer can not self host so has no alternative

@LokiTheCat although in a way it can hurt sales too: at a higher price, a portion of previous consumers will buy no more.

@LokiTheCat yes, we're deep into "marketing you your own air to breathe" territory these days indeed

@LokiTheCat I thought that is how tariffs work: consumer pays. Am I missing something?

The latest insult in is customer support bots that pass as human persons.

There is a special place in hell for whoever thought it might be funny to do that.

Got a message from Amazon saying there's a service outage so I can't turn on my lightbulb.

The future is awesome.

Oh WhatsApp, you changed. Meta got the best out of you.

so I've been reading Labour Together's think tank paper on BritCard proposal labourtogether.uk/all-reports/ - which according to Sunday Times already got the support from ministers. and considering LT is the closest think tank to gov't, I think it's fair to assume at least some of its proposals, if not all, will be pushed through

buckle up, a 🧵 incoming!

The tracking technique described at arstechnica.com/security/2025/ is prevented by Vanadium's default "Disabled non-proxied UDP" value. It's also prevented by "Default public interface only", which does permit peer-to-peer connections but won't try to use the loopback interface for it.

@fgntfg @tennoseremel As someone who uses XMPP as their only chat and calling medium, I beg to differ 😉

Also, people are now quitting #Telegram because of their AI bullshit. Like any #centralized platform, it was bound to abuse its users sooner or later. #Federated protocols like #XMPP are the only sensible option.

I suggest you come and rediscover XMPP. Check out some good clients and servers -

And find yourself some channels -
