The end of the #curl bug-bounty

Google is now marking EVERY SINGLE APK at our repository as "Malware site issue". Congrats, "Safe" browsing.

Of course there is not a single malware there, everything is scanned multiple times. And I bet they excluded *.google.com from their scan or the entire PlayStore would be red by now, too…

Calling out to all of you: Please use https://safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_error/ to report the links as "safe"!

https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/repo/com.apkupdater_52.apk is the one console reports.

It’s interesting how many people think wanting privacy means you’re doing something nefarious. The fact is, privacy is about sharing what you want with whom you choose.

(I don’t recall who wrote these words or where I originally saw them. I only made the graphic.)

I promise that when I reboot the Mozilla brand after their inevitable collapse, I will not make it "the modern AI (sic) browser."

Twenty-nine years ago on this day, #httpget 0.1 was released.

I found the tool a few days later and within a few months I became the maintainer. We later renamed it. Twice. The last name it got is #curl. It stuck.

httpget was my first insight and lesson into HTTP and since then I have kept learning it.

httpget 0.1 was written by Rafael Sagula, who unfortunately is not with us anymore.

Why “NaN !== NaN” in JavaScript (and the IEEE 754 Story Behind It), by (not on Mastodon or Bluesky):

AWS is down. A major AWS outage has taken down several popular services worldwide, including Signal, Fortnite, Alexa, Snapchat and many more. The specific cause of the service outage is currently unclear, according to AWS and they are working on fix. Yup, it is US-EAST-1

@nixCraft I don't use syntax highlighting 😅 (well, only minimal, almost all of it looks the same except some weight difference). It helps me focus if I'm already familiar with the code but not for new codebases. But I can't live without dark mode though

i saw so many good posts with this format that had to do myself as well
