Few interesting conclusions from this situation:
- One company has power to flag competitors websites as “dangerous” in the most popular browser
- If you want your website to be rendered back in that browser you have to have Google account (and Google might ban you for life, so having account is not guaranteed)

🚨BREAKING NEWS: The 🤖 overlords at Google have deemed Immich sites "dangerous," leaving their team with a newfound sense of "Cursed Knowledge" 🔮. Turns out, the is not a trendy new app but a sign that maybe Immich should have read the ~directions~ on Google Safe Browsing. 📉

Here's some Cursed Knowledge. I've been setting up local DNS but for some reason I couldn't get local, unqualified host names to work on my Mint 21 machines.

Turns out it's systemd. It has a built in resolver that won't resolve an unqualified hostname because Poettering misread an IAB doc and blocked it for everyone.

The fix is to set ResolveUnicastSingleLabel=yes in /etc/systemd/resolved.conf and restart systemd-resolved.

Paradox of the day: are non-furries just furries with hominid fursonas?

“Zucchini” is a combination of the words “Zuck” and “Bikini”.

I've been here for a while, but time for a re- #introduction:

I'm Scott or Vortex Egg, and I'm a cursed librarian. I work at the intersection of #technology, #informationscience, and #collectivebehavior on mitigating informational harms and violent extremism. I am currently pursuing an MLIS degree and am employed as the tech lead of a related nonprofit.

My work and research touch on:

**Digital extremism**
The influence of digital technologies, #misinformation, #propaganda, and #informationoperations on the emergence of #cults, #conspiracytheories, and #terrorism and violent #extremism.

**Cursed library science**
The management of harmful information, #contentmoderation and #TrustAndSafety, #digitalarchiving & #digitalpreservation, and #research methods for #cursedknowledge.

**Collective information science**
Theories of collective #informationbehavior, including #sensemaking, #crisisinformatics and #rumoring, the dynamics of #informationecosystems, and corrupted and stigmatized #informationseeking.

**Complexity science**
My work is informed by a qualitative and applied approach to #complexityscience, #systemsthinking, and #complexsystems as well as...

**Critical technology**
A critical and analytical perspective on #sociotechnical systems, #surveillance and #algorithms, #cybernetics, and #swarmintelligence.
